Dell Medical School operates on a different calendar/registration system from the rest of the university; therefore, we have some unique processes and considerations. Please read on or click through the topics below.

Advising/Registration

Meet with your dual degree program adviser to confirm/indicate which courses you will be taking in the next semester. Your adviser will communicate those courses to your Dell Med third-year coordinator.

You will not be able to register yourself for dual degree courses. Just like all the other Dell Med courses you have taken until this point, Dell Medical School will process your registration each semester.  

By the 12th class day (or shortly after), you should see your schedule reflected here: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/registration/classlist.WBX

Note: You will be registered in MED department sections of your dual degree courses. The Department code for your class will always be MED, but the course titles should be the same.
