Registration FAQs

These FAQs are written to provide assistance for general questions. If you require assistance while registering online using WebLink, click on the "HELP" feature within WebLink.

How do I know who my advisor is?

Contact your College or School. Every UDM student is assigned an advisor.

I still owe a balance. Do I have to wait to register for the next semester until my balance is paid in full?

In some cases, you can register for an upcoming semester while you are paying off your balance. Contact the Student Accounting Office (313) 993-1420 to find out what your options are.

How do I change my major?

Contact your advisor if you wish to change your major within the College in which you are currently registered. If your new major is in a different College/School, contact that College/School Dean's Office about transferring into your new major. An Application for Transfer within the University is required to change your College or School.

What is a Course Withdrawal, as compared to a Course Drop?

Courses that are dropped within the first 25% of a semester (based on the beginning and ending dates of the semester) are considered a drop, and no record of the course remains on the student's permanent academic record. Courses that are dropped in the middle 50% of a semester are considered course withdrawals, and a "W" will appear on the permanent academic record. "W" is not computed in your GPA. Withdrawals are not permitted after 75% of the course has taken place. See the Schedule of Classes for the specific dates when you can drop and withdraw from courses.

What is Administrative Withdrawal?

Students who have not made their payment or payment arrangements before the published due date for each semester will be dropped from all of their courses. The due date is 5 business days before the first day of the term. Students who are withdrawn lose their enrollment in the class(es) they were registered for, and must follow the normal add/drop procedures to be re-registered in classes. These procedures require obtaining instructor's signature and advisor's signature for classes that have met or are closed, and advisor's signature for open classes during the add/drop week. A late registration fee will be assessed for those re-registering.

If I register and then drop classes, what happens to my tuition and registration services fee?

Your tuition is calculated based on the date of your drop and there is no adjustment to your non-refundable registration services fee.
