The office of the registrar can assist you with:
Students may view and print unofficial transcripts through WebDMC. Requests for official transcripts are to be faxed to (361) 698-1857.
The FERPA Consent for Disclosure to Parents form is available for students to authorize Del Mar College officials to discuss the student’s academic record. The student should complete and submit the signed form to the Registrar’s Office (East or West campus), with a copy of the student's ID*. The form will remain in effect until updated/revoked by the student.
*Electronic copies of the FERPA Release Form have the option to attach a photo or scan of the student's ID at the bottom, right hand side of the page, under the date.
All records submitted for a student's file become property of the College and a part of the student's permanent record.
Including high school transcripts, transcripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents are not duplicated for any reason, to any person and/or institution, including the student.
The Solomon Amendment explicitly states that military recruiters must be given equal access to that provided other recruiters. Del Mar College is therefore obligated to release data included in the list of "student recruiting information," upon request. For more information, please see Solomon Amendment & FERPA.
What are the courses needed to meet the general education core curriculum requirements?
The requirements for the general education core curriculum can be found at the Texas General Education Core Web Center.
Which courses from Del Mar College will transfer to another Texas post-secondary institution?
This list is maintained by the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS). Del Mar also accepts these courses from other Texas post-secondary institutions.
How do I request that my transfer credits be evaluated?
Submit a Transcript Evaluation Request Form (TERF) to the Registrar’s Office (unless specified otherwise in a MOU between Del Mar College and another institution). After all of your official college and/or university transcripts have been received in the Student Enrollment Center we will be able to begin the evaluation process.
If you are a student that has earned credits from an institution outside the boundaries and territories of the United States toward a certificate or degree from Del Mar College, a course-by-course evaluation must be completed. If you would like your coursework evaluated, see the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) website for an approved agency. These agencies are independent and not affiliated with Del Mar College. Del Mar College reserves the right to determine acceptability and/or placement of international academic credit. Evaluation by an international evaluation agency does not guarantee acceptance or use at Del Mar College.
Need to change your schedule?
You may change your schedule prior to the official census date of the class by completing a Schedule Change Request, obtaining the appropriate signatures, and submitting the form to the Office of the Registrar.
Can I get a copy of a form I have submitted?
All records submitted for a student's file become property of the College and a part of the student's permanent record.
Including High school transcripts, transcripts from other colleges, test scores, immunization records and other similar documents are not duplicated for any reason to any person and/or institution, including the student.
Course withdrawal results in a final grade of “W” and may be initiated by the student, course instructor, instructor’s immediate supervisor, or appropriate administrator.
To withdraw from a course, students should complete the Drop/Withdrawal form available through the Office of the Registrar, in-person or via email, by the published deadline available on the Academic Calendar.
The Registrar’s Office will begin to process the form upon receiving the completed form.
Please Note: Emailed forms are processed more efficiently since they do not require manual stamping, scanning, and processing. Students are encouraged to submit forms electronically for the fastest processing.
If a student is failing a course, failure to drop or withdraw from the course by the deadline will result in a final grade of “F.”
If a student is not attending and not making satisfactory progress toward completing the course, an instructor may initiate a drop and have the student withdrawn from the course for non-attendance.
Students are encouraged to visit with a Retention Case Manager (361-698-1948) to discuss the impact of a drop or withdrawal, whether student or instructor initiated. Additionally, students should meet with their academic advisor to review their degree plan.
Texas Senate Bill 1231 mandates that students are limited to 6 course drops during the entirety of their college career in Texas, including Del Mar College and other Texas colleges and universities. This is commonly known as the 6-Drop Rule.
The 6-Drop Rule applies to students who started college in Fall 2007 or later, and only applies to institutions in Texas.
A student may request an exemption from the 6-drop rule under certain circumstances.
Exemptions to the 6-Drop Rule are:
It is the student's responsibility to initiate the course drop or withdrawal process.
Del Mar College is not responsible for any liabilities incurred as a result of a student's failure to officially withdraw from the College.
Students who are unable to continue attending a course should promptly take the necessary steps through the Office of the Registrar to officially withdraw from the course(s).
Failure to withdraw properly will result in a final grade of "F" in the course.
Instructors are authorized, but not required, to initiate a course withdrawal for students not attending and likely not able to pass the course.
A student may appeal an instructor-initiated withdrawal. Instructor-initiated drops are not exempt from the 6-drop rule.
Students may submit the form for a course drop/withdrawal at any time after the official reporting date of a semester and up to the deadline for withdrawals in each semester.
The last day to drop or withdraw from course(s) is published on the College’s Academic Calendar under the Viking Toolbox on Del Mar’s website.
Students may submit the Drop/Withdrawal Form by three methods:
The Drop/Withdrawal Form must be completed in its entirety by the student. If a student is unable to or incapable of submitting a withdrawal on their own, due to injury/hospitalization or other extenuating circumstances, a representative of the student may contact the Registrar’s Office at 361-698-1248.
Accommodations are addressed on an individual, case-by-case basis. Registrar’s Office staff is available to assist with completing the form during regular business hours.
