Registrants

Registrants are appointed by the Department Head and their numbers are limited by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to no more than one registrant per Department/Building.

Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Registrants must: 

• Maintain a current DEA registration whenever controlled substances are being used
• Require any person that handles controlled substances to complete a DEA-based questionnaire
• Keep a record of the questionnaire until that person no longer handles controlled substances
• Authorize the purchase, use, and disposal of controlled substances
• Maintain an accurate list of authorized users of controlled substances
• Supervise the use of controlled substances
• Conduct a physical inventory of controlled substances at least every two years
• Maintain all records for at least three years
• Report any significant volume discrepancies to University Health and Safety (UHS), University of Minnesota Police Department (UMPD), and DEA
