Announcement for degree-seeking students in Tanzania & India
DeSales University is concluding its degree-granting partnership with Lumen Christi in Tanzania and Suvidya College in India. As a result, no new students will be admitted to the Bachelor’s degree programs in Philosophy offered through this partnership, and the relationship will officially conclude in May 2028 for Tanzania and May of 2027 for Suvidya. A formal teach out plan has been submitted to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and DeSales will continue to maintain oversight of the programs until the official termination of the program and the last degrees are awarded. Any updates to this termination will be provided on this page throughout the teach out period. Any students seeking additional information are encouraged to contact the Registrar at DeSales University at registrar@desales.edu.

Transcripts, Diplomas, and More
You can order official transcripts online 24/7 through the National Student Clearinghouse. This service allows you to order multiple transcripts using any major credit card. You'll receive real-time email and mobile text alerts about your order status, and you can track your order online. A USPS First-Class Mail option is also available on weekdays for those requiring a paper transcript.
Note: Electronic transcripts are not offered for records prior to 1994.
Current students can access their unofficial transcripts via the MyDSU portal:
