These are group information sessions led by an admissions counselor. We will discuss the academic, social, and financial reasons why DCC is the best fit for many students.

Meet with an Admissions Counselor Virtually

During these sessions, you will have the opportunity to meet individually with an admissions counselor to discuss your specific interests and questions about DCC. You may select either an online video conversation or a phone call. Register to schedule an appointment to meet with an admissions counselor virtually. These are not advising appointments.
