How to register

Students may register for a PPL course (provided all requirements have been met) using one of five registration methods.

Online

To complete your online registration, you will need:

  • Student number and password (PIN) (unless you are a new student).
  • Course code.
  • Credit card information.

Student Number

Every student is assigned a nine digit student number. This number can be found on your registration receipt in the upper right-hand corner. This is a very important number and is unique to each student. You will need it to register online, access your grades and tax receipts, and to access your academic history. This number is your academic student number for life; please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Password (PIN)

Your PIN is your MyDC password. Your original/default password is your date of birth in the format MMDDYY. (e.g. if your date of birth is December 31, 1985 the default password is 123185.) We strongly recommend you change your password.

Course Code

The course code is alphanumeric. For example: Accounting 1 is ACCT 1280.
