Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I meet with my advisor?
It is recommended that you meet with your advisor at least once a semester to discuss your academic plan, track your progress toward graduation, and to learn about opportunities in your field. Students who meet with their advisor at least once a semester tend to perform better academically.
What if I have a pressing advising question?
Please reach out to your assigned academic advisor first. You may then be re-directed to the COE Undergraduate Advising Office at eg-advisement@udel.edu for further assistance.
What constitutes an excused absence and how do I request one?
Review UD’s Attendance & Absences information and policies first. Then, if you have documentation for absences due to a serious illness, short-term military duty, or death in your family, we can send a Documented Absence Notification to your professors. Please complete your request form for review and approval.
How do I transfer a course back to UD when I take it elsewhere?
Please see the Transfer Credit page for more information.
I have a 3.2 G.P.A. and I haven’t heard about being on the Dean’s List. Is there a reason why? Please read about Latin Honors & Degree with Distinction for the University’s policies.
