General Application

All applicants who wish to enroll at Danville Area Community College must submit a completed Admissions application. Please note that our health professions programs require additional application steps. Please see our Selective Admissions Applications or consult with your Academic Advisor/Counselor for further information.

Submit an official copy of your final high school transcripts or an official copy of the GED test results from the testing agency.  Student financial aid funds (for those eligible) will not be disbursed until one of the above documents is received. Official transcripts from colleges at which college-level credit was awarded must also be submitted.  Note: Transcripts are considered official when they are sent directly from the school to DACC or presented in a sealed envelope from the school.

Any new, transfer or returning students who has not attended DACC since Fall 2009 must complete an orientation either on campus or online. This session is designed to provide introduction to DACC, as well as pertinent information regarding academic programs, college policies, and student life.  Students can reserve a spot for a New Student Orientation by visiting the Information Office in Vermilion Hall or by calling (217) 443-8896.

All students pursuing a certificate or degree program at DACC, and/or students who are planning to enroll in a math, English, speech, social science, humanities, or physical science course are required to take the placement assessment.  The assessment will cover English, reading, and mathematics.  Students can usually sign up to take the placement assessment the same day as their New Student Orientation.  To reserve a spot for the assessment, visit the Testing & Academic Services Center in Cannon Hall or call (217) 443-8708.

Students may register full-time (12 credit hours or more) by meeting with an academic advisor or counselor.  Appointments to see an academic advisor or counselor can be made by visiting the Counseling Department in the Lincoln Hall or by calling (217) 443-8750.  Students may register part-time (less than 12 credit hours) if they know which classes they need to take by visiting the Registration Office in the Vermilion Hall or by calling (217) 443-8800.
