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?
Every UDM student is assigned an academic advisor. You can view your advisor's name through the Student Records tab in TitanConnect. Click on "View Student Information".
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 100% drop period for each course are removed from your permanent academic record. Courses that are dropped after the 100% drop period through the last date to withdraw for that course 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 Students who are withdrawn lose their enrollment in the class(es) they were registered for, and must follow the normal add/drop procedures to be re-registered in classes.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 fees?
Your tuition is calculated based on the date of your drop and the official course beginning and ending dates listed inthe Schedule of Classes. The refund schedule effective for the Fall 2009-10 is as follows:
Group 1 Courses that are scheduled over a period of 1-49 days (1 day to 7 week classes)
100% refund on Day 1
No refund beginning Day 2
Group 2 Courses that are scheduled over a period of 50 days or more (Classes more than 7 weeks)
100% refund through Day 7
50% refund Day 8 to Day 14
No refund beginning Day 15
