The form is available on the website at www.dakotacollege.edu . Changes in Registration After students have registered for classes, they may make changes to their schedules via the Campus Connection link on the DCB website. Students should consult their advisors before making changes in their registration. Changes in registration are allowed according to the published academic calendars for all the sessions in a term.
