The first step in admission is the completion of the Application for Admission Form either online or on campus. The following documents are required: High school transcript or GED diploma or certificate. (Students over 18 years of age, without a high school diploma or GED may apply) Official transcripts of colleges and universities attended. To apply online go to www1.dcccd.edu/stuapp/

Conditional Admission

Students who are admitted conditionally due to missing offical transcripts may encounter difficulties during the admission and academic advising process. It is essential that transfer students submit transcripts from all colleges previously attended and have this information available at the time of admission to the college.

Residency

Establishment of a Residence: A person who: Graduated from a public or accredited private high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in Texas. Resided in Texas the 36 months immediately preceding the date of graduation, or receipt of the diploma equivalent, and Resided in Texas the 12 months prior to the census date of the academic semester in which the person enrolls.

A dependent whose parent: Established a domicile in Texas for 12 months prior to enrollment. Maintained a residence in Texas for 12 consecutive months preceding enrollment

The amount of tuition you are charged is based upon your residency classification. It is the responsibility of the Admissions Office to determine your residency classification based on the information you have submitted. Your residency classification will be established in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Coordinating Board of the Texas College and University System and the policies of the Dallas County Community College District Board of Trustees. The Admissions/Student Records Office reserves the right to request additional information in order to comply with State of Texas residency requirements prior to enrollment. All resident documents must be submitted by the 12th class day.

In-district Residency

Once your in-state residency status is established, your classification as in-district (Dallas County resident) or out-of-district is based on where you actually reside or on your ownership of property subject to the Community College Ad Valorem Tax. Listed below are examples of items that may assist the Admissions Office in determining your residency status. The Admissions Office reserves the right to ask for additional residency documentation. A copy of your permanent Texas Drivers License or Texas ID card. Current lease agreement in your name at the correct Dallas County* address. Current Texas Voter Registration Card listing your correct Dallas County* address. Current automobile registration showing your correct Dallas* address. Copy of a current deed and/or property tax statement showing ownership of Dallas County* property.

All claims of in-state residence must be documented in writing. Verbal/self-reported information is NOT acceptable according to the State of Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Regardless of the amount of time spent in Texas, students from out-of-state cannot use their time as full-time students to count toward the twelve-month residency requirement.

Hawaiian Field Studies

The Hawaiian Islands are a paradise rich with sandy beaches, brilliant sunsets and some of the best recreational and relaxation spots on earth. Beyond the tourist attractions, though sometimes one and the
same, lies a natural wonder of botanical rarities, explosive geological features and themes of evolution, adaptation, conservation and extinction.

Born from the sea floor in a continuous chain of volcanoes, the Hawaiian Islands exist today as a window into biological and geological processes that tell the story of life on earth. While exploring the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Kauai, students will study the terrestrial ecology, marine ecology, geology and oceanography. The program, which offers courses that total 12 credit hours, includes Environmental Biology 2406, Botany 1411 and Earth Science 1401. Sessions include classroom and lab instruction at NLC and a field trip to the Arbuckle Mountains. Then the group will depart for a two-week field studies course in Hawaii. Enrollment is limited to 48 students in a group. Classes start in March 2012 and end the last week of May, taking place on weekends only. The group will depart around the first week of June, time and dates to be announced. Pre-trip classes will include 13 meetings ranging from March to June, TBA.
