  • New students can obtain ID cards and parking permits from the Campus Support Center in the lower level of Lewis Hall. A parking permit is required to park in the university lots and parking garages. 
  • All Dominican University students are expected to utilize a Dominican University e-mail account when communicating with the university.  It is important that students check their e-mail account regularly to receive important information.  Accounts for new students are automatically generated within 24 to 48 hours when they register for class for the first time.  
  • Technology assistance with emails, canvas, and printing  etc. can be found here.
  • Students who need to be placed for field experience assignments will need to complete the Background Check Authorization process.  Click here for more information on this process.
  • Make sure that you understand the financial policies of the university.  Tuition is due in full by the first day of each semester unless you have elected a payment plan.  Tuition refunds for dropped classes are given according to a sliding scale based on the week of the semester, which can be found here.  Please refer to the Student Accounts MyDU page for specific information.
  • Non-attendance at class does not constitute an automatic drop.   If you want to drop a class, you must file the appropriate paperwork with the Registrar's office or drop the class online.
