These instructions will help you submit an academic request to the Office of the Registrar for a change to a course registration, academic program, or other academic requests.

Follow this link for assistance with Selecting a Form.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Academic forms are available online: valpo.edu/registrar/forms
    1. Forms specific to Graduate Students can be found on the Graduate School website: valpo.edu/graduate-services/forms
  2. Select the appropriate form for your request.
    1. If you're unsure, consult with your Academic Advisor or contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@valpo.edu or 219.464.5212.
  3. Complete the fields on the form.
    1. Course information can be found using Catalog Search in Student Planning.
    2. The Catalog is also a good resource.
  4. Click 'Submit' at the end of the form.
  5. After submission, you'll receive a sequence of 3 emails.
    1. First - a confirmation receipt.
    2. Second - an email to your @valpo.edu account confirming your request. A reply isn't needed unless you need to make a change to the request.
    3. Third - after your form has been routed to the relevant faculty, advisor, department chair, or dean for approval, you'll receive a confirmation of the request completion by the Office of the Registrar if it was approved, or a notification that your request was not approved.
  6. Once your request is approved and processed, you will be able to log in to DataVU to see the update to your student record.
