Dakota State University students walking around campus

Preparation + opportunity = success

That's the DSU equation. We're a four-year university with nationally recognized programs, cutting-edge facilities, and the brightest thinkers. But we're also a tight-knit, inclusive community. Small class sizes mean hands-on training and individualized attention. All this with an affordable, public school price that's among the best values in the region.

Proctor Information

Certain DSU courses may require proctoring such as the use of an internet browser that locks down the testing environment and may require a webcam in order to complete exams/quizzes. Proctoring (via online or face-to-face methods), essentially monitors a student as an exam is being taken and ensures that academic integrity is maintained. Please make sure to check the course syllabus or D2L regarding the specific requirements for proctoring of exams as they may vary by course/faculty. Students will be responsible for any proctoring expenses, if applicable.
