When is the last day to add a class?

Students may add classes for the full semester up to the 5th business day of the full (15 week) term for fall/spring or full (10 week) term for summer. For late start courses, the last day to add is the start date of each shorter part of term.

How do I register for a course that is full?

You may add yourself to the course wait list (only if the wait list is available for the course/section).

If I drop my class, will I be charged?

Note: Students may receive a reduction in financial aid or be required to return money to DMACC if they drop courses.

Refund deadlines vary based upon the length of the course. To view the list of refund deadlines, click on the link: https://www.dmacc.edu/registration/Pages/refund.aspx.

How do I get login help with my Username/Password, DMACC ID or PIN?

If you have problems logging in or do not know your DMACC Username/Password, ID or PIN number please contact DMACC Tech Support at techsupport@dmacc.edu or 515-965-7300.

I am trying to register for my courses online. Why am I not able to register?

Check the registration dates here: https://www.dmacc.edu/registration. You should also check your registration status using Banner Self Service - Prepare for Registration. If you have a hold on your account you will not be able to register.

How do I change my course from earned credit to audit?

Your instructor must sign your drop/add form. The form should be submitted to the student services office. Information about this process can be viewed at: https://www.dmacc.edu/registration/Pages/add_drop.aspx.

What is the last day to drop?

Note: Students may receive a reduction in financial aid if they drop a course.
Two different drop deadlines are:
1) Refund deadline. If a student drops a course by the refund deadline, they will receive a tuition credit back to their account. If tuition had been paid, a refund may be issued.
2) Withdrawal deadline. During the withdrawal period, students will not receive a tuition credit/refund. Students who drop after the refund deadline but before the last day to drop/withdraw will have a 'W' grade on transcript.

What if I missed a drop deadline or enrollment deadline?

If you have extenuating circumstances beyond your control, you may meet with an Academic Advisor at a campus near you to request a Petition for Policy Waiver. You must include documentation to support your request.

How do I get my books for an online course?

DMACC provides online book order information via the DMACC web site at: https://www.bkstr.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=33905&catalogId=10001.
