First steps

It's as Easy as 1-2-3

1. Apply to be admitted to the college.

Complete an application for admission. Applying early is a good idea. Your place in registration is determined by the date you apply. An early start also ensures you have plenty of time to visit with an advisor and plan your course schedule. There are several convenient ways to get an application and apply:

  • Come by the campus and fill out your application in person.
  • Get your application by mail. Just call toll-free metro 817-COLLEGE and we'll send you an application and any other information you would like about the college.
  • Apply online.

2. See your DCCC college advisor.

After you are admitted to college, you must attend an orientation session. Please contact your college's Advisement/Counseling Center to schedule a session. After orientation, you should contact the Assessment/Testing Center to schedule your assessment. After your assessment is completed, you will visit with your academic advisor to select your courses.

3. Register for classes.

You may register for classes by:

  • In-person registration during early and regular registration times. Regular registration occurs the week before classes begins.
  • By telephone--telephone registration is easy and convenient.
  • Or, register online at http://econnect.dcccd.edu/

There are certain qualifications you must meet to register by telephone or online. Please contact your college's Advisement/Counseling Center to find out if you meet the qualifications.
