General Admission
Applicants who have had no previous college, university, or technical college credit and desire to earn a diploma, degree, or certificate from DeKalb Tech are considered beginning freshmen and must submit the following:
- A completed application form to the Admissions Office.
- A $25.00 non-refundable application fee.
- An official high school transcript or GED scores.
The applicant must request that official transcripts be mailed directly to the Admissions Office. If the transcript is in a language other than English, an official English translation is also required.
- Satisfactory scores on the COMPASS, SAT, ACT, or the ASSET Test.
The COMPASS Test includes English, reading, and mathematics. Its purpose is to determine if a prospective student needs additional basic skills or courses before beginning a planned program of study. Applicants will be notified by mail of their need to take the COMPASS Test.
