Registration/Class Reservation

Class reservation begins on or about November 1st for the following Spring semester and April 1st for the following Fall semester.  A directory of classes is made available on line at http://www.sandiego.edu (select the One Stop Services tab) prior to the class reservation period.  Times for class reservation are given in the schedule.

All continuing students should meet with their advisor, which is required prior to reserving classes.   

Registration, which includes payment of tuition and fees if not already completed, must take place prior to the deadline on the Academic Calendar or a late fee will be assessed.  Questions regarding registration can be directed to the One Stop Student Center, UC 125, or the web site at http://www.sandiego.edu (One Stop Services tab).

Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS)

As a registration aid for students, the University of San Diego offers a computerized record of your academic progress.   It shows courses completed and those yet to be completed by individual students within each undergraduate and graduate program.  

The DARS is an advising tool, an unofficial "road map," to keep students informed of their required and optional coursework and other degree requirements.  The audit is automatically updated each semester, showing courses completed, grades earned, GPAs and other useful information.

The audit is of considerable value in planning and monitoring your degree progress.  Before beginning the class reservation process each semester or at any time, you may view you’re audit by going to http://www.sandiego.edu (One Stop, My Registration channel, DARS link)

Transcript Request

For official copies, fill out the request form available on the web at http://www.sandiego.edu (One Stop, Request my Transcript) or in the One Stop Services Center where you may pay $5.00 per copy.  If you want to pick it up, it will be ready in two days.  An official transcript will be mailed within 7 to 10 working days from time of receiving your request.  Delays may occur during peak times such as graduation or posting of grades.

Please make your request well in advance of the deadline when the transcripts are needed. 

Certification of Attendance

The form to request a "Verification of Enrollment" can be found at  http://www.sandiego.edu (Academic Resources  tab, "Registrar forms" website link)

Forms provided by the student will be mailed unless a request to pick them up is made.  If you wish to pick up the verification, please give the One Stop Student Center 48 hour's notice.

Change of Address

Please file any change of address with the One Stop Student Center; the form Is located at http://www.sandiego.edu (Academic Resources tab, Registrar forms)    Midterm deficiency grades and final grades are not mailed but can be viewed at http://www.sandiego.edu (One Stop tab, "View my grades" link) and are available at the end of each semester or session.  Students are responsible for informing the University of any change in either their permanent or local address so that they will receive all information vital to their enrollment.  Although most information will be conveyed to you via your USD email address, failure to receive instructions due to an incorrect address, or not checking your USD email, will not be considered a legitimate reason for a policy exception.  

Petition to Graduate

Undergraduate students should petition to graduate one full year prior to their graduation ceremony in order to have time to receive confirmation from the Registrar's office that they can fulfill all requirements for the Bachelors degree and schedule courses appropriately.  The petition form is located at http://www.sandiego.edu (Academic Resources tab, Registrar forms).  Petition deadlines are published in the Undergraduate Bulletin.
