STEP ONE

ADMISSION

An international student is a student that is not a United States citizen or a legal Resident Alien that studies within the United States (not online).

Prospective international students should request an International Student Application Packet from the Admissions office. This packet will outline how a prospective international student can become accepted to DCC and obtain an I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for F-1 [Student] Status). Prospective international students should read this packet carefully and be certain to complete all requirements listed therein. Incomplete requirements will not be accepted toward a student’s admissions file.

An I-20 will be filled out and issued to the student for their admission into the U.S. only after all admissions materials have been submitted and the student has been fully accepted to the institution. All tuition and fees must be paid in full at the beginning of each semester.

Applicants must abide by the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in every aspect, or be subject to dismissal.

International students must apply to the college 90 days in advance to begin the process.

All forms and admissions requirements must be completed 60 days prior to the beginning of the semester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I enroll in online courses?

Students must take 12 hours for a full-time course load on campus, in person. Online classes are allowed beyond that.

Do I need to take the TOEFL?
Most international students do need to submit a TOEFL. However, if you have previously received a degree from an English speaking school, you will likely not need the TOEFL test.
What if I cannot show proof of payment for the cost of school?
Unfortunately, DCC requires that every student be able to show proof by submitting bank statements, either personal or sponsor, that show the student can afford their education. We find it unwise to allow a student to attend DCC without the required financial support. This also helps the student retain a good rapport with the school.
