Technology Resources
The University’s commitment to providing a robust technological environment enables students and faculty to pursue academic studies and conduct the business of campus life easily and effectively.
Students communicate with their professors and peers, conduct research, and submit assignments using a wide range of technologies.
General access computing sites and printing kiosks are located conveniently across campus, and UD Wi-Fi reaches into residence halls, academic buildings, student centers, and other places students congregate. All University classrooms are connected to the campus network, which enables faculty and students to use a variety of multimedia and network services and devices during class time. Many faculty use web tools, clickers, social media, automated lecture capture systems, and other technology to enhance their students’ experience and to foster collaborative or problem-based learning.
Central UD Information Technologies provides technology used by everyone at the University (www.it.udel.edu). In addition, many other parts of the University provide specialized technology resources for students. For example, the Student Multimedia Design Center (library.udel.edu/multimedia/) in the Morris Library enables students to create multimedia projects for course work as well as for personal use. Also, the Language Resource Center (http://www1.udel.edu/fllt/LRC/) in Jastak-Burgess Hall provides technology and multimedia resources for learning foreign languages, including free access to Rosetta Stone software.

Academic Advisement to Keep You on Track
Undergraduate Advisement
Academic advisement is available to all students, and students are strongly encouraged to seek regular advisement by contacting their assigned advisor. Assignment of students to advisors is coordinated by their college or major department. Each students’ academic advisor is listed in UDSIS.
Academic advisors can help students with course selection, choice of major, maintaining progress toward a degree, career goals, and selection of graduate or professional schools. Freshmen are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor to choose courses prior to their registration appointment. Students who have been placed on academic probation are required to consult with an academic advisor prior to selecting courses for the subsequent term. Academic advisors can also provide referrals to support services for students who need help with personal, medical, or other issues. Successful undergraduate students tend to be those who meet with their advisors at least once each semester.
More information can be found on the Academic Advisement page: www.udel.edu/students/.
University Studies Program
The University Studies Program provides academic planning and advisement for students who have not declared a major or are in transition from one major to another. UST students are provided guidance with course selection for each term and eventual choice of major. The UST Program’s professional advisors provide a full range of services to students from the time that they enter the University until the time that they declare a major, when they will be assigned an advisor from within their new program. UST students are expected to declare a major by the end of sophomore year. The website of the University Studies Program includes extensive resources to help University Studies students explore their interests and choose courses appropriate for majors that they may be considering - please see www.ust.udel.edu.
Undergraduate Advisement Tools
Undergraduate students who log into their Student Center in UDSIS have access to advisement tools created to supplement in-person advisement. Students are encouraged to review these tools before meeting with their advisor in order to make the meeting more effective. Although they are not intended to replace in-person advisement, it is also helpful to review these tools before registration. The Degree Audit allows a student to review their degree requirements to see how courses that they’ve enrolled in satisfy those requirements and to see what requirements have not yet been met. The What-If tool is a variation of the Degree Audit that allows a student to see how a change of major or minor would affect their progress, or how a specific course that they haven’t enrolled in yet would fall into their requirements. Additional information on these tools and how to use them can be found on the Registrar’s website: http://www.udel.edu/registrar/course-info-registration/register-for-classes/regtools.html.
Associate in Arts Program
Students in the University’s Associate in Arts Program are served by professional advisors who maintain office hours in Newark as well as at the UD Academic Centers in Wilmington, Dover, and Georgetown. The Associate in Arts advisors ensure that students maintain timely progress toward completion of their Associate degree, and also work with them to facilitate their transition to the Newark campus as juniors pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
Students Who Have a Declared Major
Students who have a declared major and are affiliated with a specific college usually seek the assistance of their faculty advisor or the Assistant Dean of their own college, but if in transition, students are welcome to consult with professionals from the University Studies Program for referral to the appropriate office. Advisors in the University Studies Program are happy to assist students who are considering a change of major from one UD college to another and want more information on opportunities available to them.
Graduate Advisement
Graduate students usually work one-to-one with their faculty advisor or thesis/dissertation director. In some departments, the student’s thesis/dissertation committee members may also provide advisement. The graduate student’s advisor is generally agreed upon at the time of admission or soon after.
Advisement for Continuing Education Students
The Division of Professional and Continuing Studies ACCESS Center provides academic advisement, career exploration and assessment, and registration assistance to current and prospective Continuing Education students, as well as members of the community. In-person and telephone appointments may be arranged by calling 302-831-8843. Day and evening appointments are available.

Courses numbered 600-699 are graduate-level courses, also open to qualified advanced undergraduate with the consent of the instructor. There should be a single standard of expectation and grading for all students registered at this level.
In those few cases where the number of either undergraduate students or graduate students does not permit adequate offerings of both a 400-level and a 600-level course, a graduate 600-level course may be combined with a separately numbered 400-level undergraduate course in the same section. The graduate component must then be offered with a graduate standard of expectation and grading.
The appropriateness of 600-numbered courses for undergraduate credit is subject to review by the Committee on Undergraduate Studies.
