Student Registration, Advising, and Career Development

Our Virtual Advising Office is open via Zoom from 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We provide one-on-one advising and career development support through the use of breakout rooms for any students looking for guidance or direction. Questions regarding resumes, cover letters, interview preparation, and course advising/registration can be addressed during these sessions.

Wellness Center Resources

While health services and counseling services are not available until the beginning of August, students can contact the Wellness Center at (708) 524-6229 or email wellness@dom.edu with questions or for referrals. 

Students can verify and upload any missing immunization records at Wellness Online. Immunizations given in Illinois may already be included in your immunization record through the state registry.

Accommodations and Disability Access

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged Dominican University to look for creative and innovative ways to come together in ever-changing learning environments. Accommodations and Disability Access (ADA) remains committed to supporting students, faculty and staff in ensuring access and accommodation needs are met. Here is how we can help:

Students

Please connect with ADA if your accommodation needs have changed due to the pandemic. We will work with you to help you navigate the documentation process and assist you with updating your accommodations.

Faculty

Please connect with ADA if you would like additional guidance or support in implementing students’ accommodations in virtual, hybrid or face-to-face classroom settings, or if you have questions about whether a particular accommodation can be met, given the learning objectives and structure of your course.

Staff

Please connect with ADA if you are exploring new ways of promoting or hosting campus and community-sponsored events and have accessibility-related questions about structure or presentation.

We are looking forward to working with you and are here to ​help! We can be reached at ada@dom.edu.
