20 General Information 6. Applicants may elect to submit scores from the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude test (SAT). They will be used for advisement and placement purposes. 7. Criminal background checks are required for the following programs: Nursing, Medical Assistant, Paramedic Technology, Caregiver Services, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Paraprofessional Education. 8. These admission requirements are to be met by the first date of enrollment. Students whose admission requirements are not fully satisfied will not be able to register until all admission requirements are met. Admission of Transfer Students A transfer applicant is one who has attended one or more postsecondary institutions following high school graduation. Transfer applicants who are seeking admission to DCB must submit the following material: 1. A completed application for admission and housing form, if applicable. 2. A $35 application fee. This fee is not refundable. 3. An official transcript of all previous college work. No part of previous college record may be disregarded. Violation of this regulation will be considered a serious offense and may result in the student’s dismissal. Transfer applicants who have completed less than 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of transferable credit must also submit an official high school transcript and may elect to submit the results from the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Students academically suspended from other institutions of higher education ordinarily will not be permitted to enroll at DCB until one semester has elapsed since their suspension or until the suspending institution would reinstate them. However, exceptions to this regulation may be made on an individual basis. Prospective applicants who wish to enroll at the college before their period of suspension has elapsed should contact the Student Services Office. The admission of transfer credit is based on work which is comparable to that at DCB or of such a nature as to prepare students to continue in an equivalent program at the college. Other courses will be evaluated regarding their applicability to the student’s major area. 4.

Benefited DCB employees are also exempt from this policy.
