Congratulations on Your Admission to UD

Get ready for takeoff! We're excited to welcome you to the Flyer family and help you prepare for the spring semester.

As a first step, confirm your enrollment in your Admission Account and pay your $400 nonrefundable deposit (if applicable). Then, come back here and follow the next steps to prepare for life as a Flyer.


After You Confirm Enrollment

Students who have confirmed enrollment will have access to Porches beginning in October. Named after the beloved porches in our student neighborhood, Porches is the digital home for your personalized next steps and opportunities. We encourage you to activate your account as soon as possible so you can begin completing the following items.

Activate Your UD Email Address

Your UD email account is a Gmail account administered by the University. We recommend you sign into this account on your phone to receive notifications of new messages. Many campus partners, including your holistic academic advisor, will communicate with you through your UD email address.

Register for New Student Orientation

We look forward to welcoming all students starting in spring semester to campus for required new student orientation on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026. During orientation, you'll be introduced to the campus and learn about resources, Marianist traditions, tips to help you be successful and more.

Register for Courses

First, please take a few minutes to complete the Pre-Advising Form on your Porches To-do list. On this form you’ll provide details about any previously earned college credits, as well as your interests and goals to help your holistic academic advisor get to know you.

After completing the Pre-Advising Form, reach out to your academic advisor to schedule your courses. We encourage you to complete this as soon as possible to have more availability in course options.
