As a member of our thriving community, I hope you will fully immerse yourself in the many programs across all our locations that are designed to place you on a guided pathway to success. This handbook serves as the first of many resources tailored to your needs. You will find a wealth of important information, from our basic principles of success to the details of adding or dropping a course. Even if you don't read the entire handbook at this time, you will refer to it during your time with us, so do bookmark it and keep it handy.

As you may know, our institution has deep roots within Dallas County. For more than 50 years, we have served generations of learners and leaders as the Dallas County Community College District. Now as Dallas College, the same rich history and tradition live on, with enhanced innovation aimed at providing you with the best possible experience.

During your time at Dallas College, we expect you to make learning your primary purpose to achieve your goals. This is an opportunity to explore, create, grow and excel. The experience you gain here will not only shape you as a student but will also help define you as a member of society. You have taken an important step in life, but this is only the beginning.
