DCB catalog 2020-22

22 General Information Admission of International Students DCB is authorized to accept international students. There is specific documentation that international students must provide to be considered for acceptance. International transcripts and credentials need to be evaluated before they are used for admission purposes. Such an evaluation is the sole responsibility of the applicant, and it must be performed by the Foreign Credentials Service of America (FCSA), a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), or the Association of International Credential Evaluators (AICE). All documentation must be translated into English and be received by the admissions office. Students from countries other than the United States who would like to apply for admission should contact the Student Services Clerk. Admission requirements are to be met by the published deadlines for non-Canadian international students. Students whose admission requirements are not fully satisfied will not be issued an I-20 immigration form or be able to register until all admission requirements are met. Fall Semester Deadline: July 15th (recommended to apply by June 1st) Spring Semester Deadline: December 15th (recommended to apply by Nov 1st) High School Early Entry/Dual Credit High school students may enroll at DCB under an early entry program. Students wishing to enroll in early entry courses will be required to apply for admission to DCB and complete additional paperwork. Dual credit allows high school students to take a college class and earn both high school and college credit for the class. Registration Registration is the process whereby students plan their class schedules and pay their tuition and fees. Registration is held at specific times during each semester; these dates are shown in the academic calendar at the front of this catalog. At the time of registration, the following steps are followed: 1. Each student, with the assistance and approval of an advisor, prepares a schedule of classes and completes the necessary forms. 2. Students register online using the Campus Connection portal on the DCB website. 3. The student pays the appropriate fees at the Business Office at the assigned time. Students whose fees have not been paid are not considered to be officially enrolled. Orientation Orientation is held in conjunction with registration during the fall and spring semesters. At the orientation sessions, students are made aware of important policies and procedures that govern their academic lives. Lack of familiarization with these policies and procedures will not exempt students from whatever penalties
