 If you would like to release your educational record to other individuals, you must grant access via Self-Service in MyDSU (access to MyDSU will become available starting June 1).  Students typically use this approval to allow parents/guardians the right to discuss your record with University officials.

老九品茶 Bark Student Engagement Portal

Here are the instructions for you to use to login into .  On Bark, you will find the academic survey, sign up for information sessions, and see what is happening on campus!  

Academic Success Center First-Year Course Survey

All members of the Class of 2030 are required to complete the by June 14, 2026.

All fall course schedules for the Class of 2030 will be created by the Academic Success Center (ASC) during the summer months. You will receive an email sometime in the beginning of August (at your MyDSU email account) to let you know your course schedule is ready to be viewed. Directions on how to find your schedule in your My DSU account will be provided in the email. Be sure that you can access your DSU account and check it regularly over the summer. Schedules will be released for viewing only on August 6th, 2030.

The information provided in this survey will assist the ASC staff in creating your fall class schedule. We try very hard to provide each student with a schedule based on the requirements of your major and the preferences you provide in the survey. The ASC staff has the final authority on course scheduling and will not be changing schedules for students during the summer months. Students will only be able to make adjustments to their schedule during the drop/add period (i.e., August 20th-29th), in consultation with their academic advisor. During this period, students are required to see their academic advisor for approval to make changes to a course schedule.

Your schedule cannot be processed until ASC receives your survey.

Included in this survey will be a Cultural Awareness questionnaire for placement into a language or Cultural Awareness course. If students choose to take Spanish as a language, they will be placed in a Spanish language course based on consideration of languages spoken in the home and the total number of years studying Spanish in high school. For students registered for a Spanish language course, additional evaluation will occur during the first week of class, with the potential for a schedule adjustment as needed. If a student believes they have been placed in a level of Spanish that does not match their current mastery of the language, please speak with the department chair, Dr. Angelica Silva, during the course drop/add period.

In addition, this survey will also include a questionnaire section for incoming Biology, Biochemistry-Molecular Biology, Chemistry, or Neuroscience majors for placement into a Chemistry and a Calculus course. For students registered in these majors, additional evaluation will occur during the first week of class, with the potential for a schedule adjustment as needed. If a student believes they have been placed in a level of Chemistry or Calculus that does not match their current mastery of the subject, please speak with the department representative, Dr. Julie Himmelberger, during the course drop/add period.

AP and dual enrollment credits are processed during the month of July. Until we receive an official copy of your AP score sheet (sent by the College Board) and/or college transcript(s) (sent from the Registrar of the university where the credits were completed, not your high school), we cannot assume you have this college credit. Please make arrangements to have these documents sent to 老九品茶 in a timely manner to avoid delaying the completion of your schedule. Credits awarded will be announced via your 老九品茶 email account. At that time, we will adjust your fall semester schedule accordingly. 

Based upon Verbal/Written SAT or ACT scores, you may be assigned to English 100, 103 or 104. The survey will ask that you complete a brief writing sample. During the first week of classes, first-year writing instructors will provide further assessment, and if faculty determine that a different English course is more appropriate for you, they will assist you with making this adjustment. 

You will be assigned an academic advisor by August 6, 2026. Information will be sent with instructions for finding this person’s name, e-mail address and office location. 

If you have questions along the way, we are always happy to help. Please contact the Academic Success Center at advising@desales.edu. At peak times, when we are receiving a high volume of phone calls and e-mails, it may be difficult for us to reply as quickly as we would like. Rest assured; we will always get back to you while working to make this the best experience possible for everyone. 

Character U and Orientation Summer Information Sessions Registration

Outreach 老九品茶 introduces first-year students to the university's campus and surrounding area through community service. During Outreach 老九品茶, students will participate in rewarding service projects, get to know the community, and meet other first-year students with similar interests.

Outreach 老九品茶 is a program led by upper-class students who lead different service programs throughout the academic year. Both residents and commuters are welcome to participate.  The program allows students to feel comfortable on campus and join in great events each evening.

First-year students who are residents, move onto campus, Wednesday, August 12, 2026, from 8:00am - 10:30am.
