• International students are accepted on the basis of available space in the various educational programs. Consideration is also given to selecting a diversified international student population to enhance the enrollment of citizens from numerous countries.

• Enrollment into courses will be determined by placement assessment scores and personal evaluations (if needed). Students deficient in English language skills must be enrolled in English as a Second Language classes.

• DACC will have on-campus housing August 2006. See Student Life for more information.
