What this means

During the Admissions application process, you can expect the process to take a few days. However, once your application has been processed, you will begin to receive emails explaining your next steps. Be sure to check your email often!

Although there is NO application fee, and NO entrance essay, you may be required to send your ACT scores or schedule a complimentary Accuplacer test for placement into some courses. In addition, you will also be required to send us your high school transcripts and any other college transcripts you previously may have attended.

Transcripts - not to worry, ordering your transcripts is usually pretty easy. Most often you will be using a special service like Parchment to request copies of your transcripts sent to DC3. Each school you have attended will be sending the transcripts directly to us so do not worry if you do not see them in the mail. Click HERE to see how it works
