New Student Registration

If you are conditionally accepted or accepted to DSU, you need to register for New Student Registration. You must pre-register for the event to enroll in classes. Registration for each session closes five business days before the event.

During these mandatory sessions, you will:

• Meet with an advisor
• Take placement exams
• Register for classes
• Get your parking pass and student ID
• Visit with DSU staff about housing and financial aid
• Meet other incoming students

Yes. You must claim your NDUS student account and complete your Financial Obligation Agreement in Campus Connection before NSR. One week before the event, you'll receive a reminder email. This email will give you instructions for claiming your account and completing your FOA. Please call our office at 701-483-2175 with questions.

• Driver’s License or official form of identification
• Immunization Records (If you haven’t already submitted them.)

We may recommend you take placement tests for English and/or math courses. Whether you need to take these tests or not depends on your math and English ACT or SAT subscores or applicable transfer credits. If we recommend you take placement tests, you will take the Accuplacer Test.

If you're attending a virtual New Student Registration event and are recommended for testing, you will take the test virtually. You must contact the Admissions Office by calling or texting 701-354-2614 to schedule a virtual placement test.

*New Student Registration is supported by a non-refundable student fee charged to all new first-year and transfer students. This fee helps cover the cost of programming, materials, food, and staffing. This fee charge will be added to the student account as part of tuition and fees.
