Helping You Help Your Future Flyer
At UD, we are here to support your future Flyer — and you — as you navigate the college admission process. Explore this page for helpful information, as well as recordings of the Parent Co-Pilot webinars for families of undergraduate students considering UD.
If you have questions or need additional information, please contact us and let our team know how we can assist you.
Parent Co-Pilot Webinars
Parents and guardians of prospective undergraduate students, we invite you to join us live for Parent Co-Pilot events. In case you missed a live a event, recordings are available.
At UD, student outcomes are among the most important factors in how we measure our success. And we know you want to see a positive impact from your student’s educational investment.
We’re pleased to share these impressive results from our 2023-24 Flyer First Destination Survey.
- 97% of graduates found success within six months of graduation.
- 97% of those employed are in full-time positions.
- 95% are working in their chosen field or a stepping stone toward it.
- A record $61,800 average starting salary
As your student is preparing for their first semester at UD, there are three important steps to take in the course selection process:
- Complete the Pre-Advising Form on Porches: Students should complete the Pre-Advising Form as soon as possible after confirming enrollment. Your student’s advisor will use the information provided on the form to recommend course options for your student’s academic track, goals and interests.
- Attend a virtual First-Year Advising Session: Session dates are April 22, May 14 and May 22. Your student will sign up through the Pre-Advising Form on Porches.
- Register for courses at orientation: Your student will complete their fall schedule during their advising session at orientation, with the help of academic advisors and staff.
We’re excited to help your student get ready for life at UD! New Student Orientation in June is a required, full-day experience where students will:
- Connect with other students, faculty and staff.
- Register for first-semester courses.
- Explore campus resources and ways to get involved.
- And more!
After confirming enrollment, students will register for orientation on Porches.
