Applicants must submit a completed admissions application online or by mail, fax, or in person. Official high school transcripts or GED transcripts are also required. Current high school students must submit current transcripts and supply DSC with final transcripts upon graduation.

Transfer students must submit official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended. International students will need official grade transcripts, proof of English proficiency, and an official bank letter verifying that the applicant has enough finances to cover tuition and other college expenses.

Applicants seeking a bachelor’s degree must possess an associate’s degree must have 60 college credit hours and a minimum of 15 hours of transferable credits. Prospective students to the bachelor’s program will also need at least a 2.0 grade point average in their associate degree program courses.

Most admitted students are required to take a placement test to ensure appropriate class placement. Students may be excused from this requirement if they have earned specific standardized test scores determined by DSC or completed college-level English and/or college-level math courses.
