ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS
A prospective student seeking admission to DEC must be a high school graduate or possess a General Education Development (GED) Diploma or recognized equivalency certificate. High school seniors who have not yet graduated should submit a partial transcript, which indicates their expected graduation date. Upon graduation, an official transcript is required.
DEC admits, trains and refers students without regard to race, religion, age, national origin, sex or handicap. DEC does not discriminate against the “legally protected individual.”
1. Request an application form from the Admissions Department or go to our website: apply.dec.edu for a downloadable application.
2. Complete the application online, or complete the physical form and mail it to the school. An application fee of fifty dollars ($50) must accompany the application. DEC also charges a one hundred dollar ($100) registration fee. Students receiving TAA funding are not required to make payment. The TAA Agency will pay the application fee directly to DEC after the student completes the first semester. The fee can be paid in any of the following manners:
• Personal or Certified Check
• Money Order
• Cash
• MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express
• Agency Funding Resources
An application and application fee are valid two consecutive semester starts, after which an applicant must re-submit the application and fee again if planning to re-enroll.
3. Request that an official high school transcript be sent directly to the Admissions Department. Applicants who have taken the GED Exam or other recognized equivalency certification exam must submit official evidence of satisfactory performance. Additionally, furnish the Admissions Department with post-secondary official transcripts. When applying for transfer of credit you must also supply course descriptions.
All transfer of credit requests must be submitted to the Vice President of Academic Affairs no later than two weeks after the semester start date of the student’s first semester attending DEC. No transfer of credit requests will be accepted after this date. No exceptions.
4. All programs require successful completion of the Wonderlic Scholastic Level Examination with a minimum score of 17. A maximum of 3 attempts will be granted.
5. The Admissions Department will contact all applicants via telephone, postal mail, and/or email, to schedule an interview.
6. Data obtained is evaluated by the Admissions Department and determination is made if the applicant will benefit from our
training. If it is determined that the applicant could benefit, then he/she is accepted; otherwise, he/she is not accepted. The
application fee is fully refundable if the applicant is denied acceptance.
7. Sign an Enrollment Agreement. This represents a contractual agreement between the student and the school.
Those accepted will receive a formal letter of acceptance.
