FAQ

How does UCD work?

Individuals who have earned 50+ hours of college credit or who have earned an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree are eligible to enroll in UCD classes. Enrollment in UCD classes requires admission to one of the participating universities, which then becomes the student's home institution. The Universities Center at Dallas Provisional Admission/Enrollment form is available at the UCD or online to begin the admissions process. Once the home institution has approved the provisional admission, the student has one semester in which to provide all required admissions documentation. Individuals already admitted to one of the participating institutions should indicate their course preferences by completing the course request portion of the Provisional Enrollment Form. Please note: Documentation of TASP status is required by state law before registration for any classes by undergraduates
