Academic Advising

Academic advising is available to all DCB students. Academic advising at DCB provides students with a holistic and consolidated approach that assists with both academic and personal choices. Academic advising is designed to help students succeed during their time at DCB and prepare them beyond graduation. Advising specialists can be located in the ACE Center. Career and Technical Education (CTE) and faculty advisors have various office locations that can be found using the campus directory.

Career Services

Career services are provided to all DCB students. This resource gives students local and state employment opportunities as well as help with creating a cover letter and resume. We can help with employment while attending school, or help students join the workforce following graduation. Career Exploration and Job Search are classes offered at DCB to help students gain knowledge of the ‘world of work’ and how it relates to them as well as creating a portfolio to help with efficient ways of finding post-graduation employment. Career service resources can be found in the ACE Center in Thatcher Hall or on DCB’s website.

Disability Support Services

Disability Support Services provides a variety of academic support services for eligible students. Eligible students are entitled to reasonable accommodations that allow them to access educational programs and other services.

Students need to provide documentation to support the presence of a disability. These documents should provide a clear diagnostic statement of the disability and information on the functional impact of that disability. It should also include a description of current and past accommodations, services, and/or medications and effectiveness of those medications. Documents such as an Individual Education Plan (IEP), 504 Plan and/or current evaluation may be submitted for consideration. Click the button below for more information.
