Here's an overview presented at the 2023 MS1 Open House with presentations by each program.

This is a one-page guide for Dell Medical School students completing dual degree programs at UT Austin. If you are a third-year student pursuing the MPH, please click here. Dell Medical School operates on a different calendar/registration system from the rest of the university; therefore, we have some unique processes and considerations. Please read on or click through the topics below.
Advising/Registration
Meet with your dual degree program adviser to confirm/indicate which courses you will be taking in the next semester. Your adviser will communicate those courses to your Dell Med third-year coordinator.
You will not be able to register yourself for dual degree courses. Just like all the other Dell Med courses you have taken until this point, Dell Medical School will process your registration each semester.
By the 12th class day (or shortly after), you should see your schedule reflected here: https://utdirect.utexas.edu/registration/classlist.WBX
Note: You will be registered in MED department sections of your dual degree courses. The Department code for your class will always be MED, but the course titles should be the same.
Rosters
As mentioned above, Dell Medical School operates on a different calendar/registration system from the rest of the university; therefore, you will not show up on your instructor's official course roster. If there is any issue or confusion about your enrollment in a course, please rely on your program's graduate coordinator.
Canvas
Non-DMS students are automatically populated into Canvas courses through mainframe rosters; however, faculty/TAs will need to add Dell Medical School dual degree students to their Canvas courses manually using your student UT EID. If you find that you have not been added to a course, please contact your professor or your program coordinator.
Grades
Check your grades in the UT Registrar here.
Faculty will submit your course grades using Dell Med's alternate method. Depending on the course and the department offering the course, it could be for a letter grade or Credit/No-Credit (CR/NCR). Confirm the grading basis for your course with your professor if you are unsure.
Due to system constraints, it is a lengthy, manual process to get your grades officially submitted to the mainframe. If you are wanting to know your course grade immediately after your course ends, please check Canvas or contact your professor to get your final course grade.
Course Instructor Surveys (CIS)
You may be asked to fill out a UT course instructor survey through the main campus CIS system (not one45).
