Admissions
Doņa
Ana Branch Community College provides educational opportunities
to all who desire to prepare themselves for the world of work or
for a college-level education. The community
college endorses the open-door admission concept and will
admit, to the limit of its physical and financial resources,
all who wish to attend and who have a high school diploma or
its equivalent.
Students
should apply early, as enrollment is limited in some
programs.
How
to apply
You
should follow these procedures when applying for admission
to any program at the community college:
1.
Come by the DABCC Admissions Office, Room 116, for an
application for admission and the information you need to
get started. You may also fill out an online application at
dabcc-www.nmsu.edu/serv/admin
2.
Submit
the application form with a $15 nonrefundable application
fee to: Admissions, Doņa Ana Branch Community College, MSC
3DA, P.O. Box 30001, Las Cruces, NM 88003-8001.
3.
Arrange
for official high school and college transcripts to be submitted
directly to the Admissions Office at DABCC. Transcript
request forms may be obtained at the Admissions office, Room
116. Students possessing a high
school equivalency should request to have an official
transcript of their GED (General Education Development) test
scores mailed to the Admissions Office.
4.
Make
arrangements to take the COMPASS Assessment by contacting
the Testing Technician at 527-7569 for dates, times, and
location. There is no cost for the assessment.
Nondegree
Admission
Nondegree
admission is designed to meet the needs of mature, part-time
students who do not wish to pursue a degree at this community
college. Courses taken in this status may not be used to
meet New Mexico State University admission requirements. Students
in nondegree status are ineligible for financial aid,
veterans benefits, regular student employment, and
participation in student government.
Nondegree
students are subject to the same regulations as regular students.
They may not transfer more than 30 credits from this status
to any degree program.
Admission
requirements include a nondegree application and
nonrefundable $15 application fee. Unofficial high
school/college transcripts may also be required.
Nondegree students must wait until the last day of the alpha
registration schedule to register.
How
Transfer Students Are Admitted
If
you are a transfer student and eligible to return to the
college or university last attended, follow the same
procedures as outlined under "How to Apply".
Additionally,
have official transcripts from all colleges and/or
universities previously attended sent to Doņa Ana Branch
Community College. A student who conceals the fact that
(s) he has attended another college or university and has
not had transcripts submitted by each institution previously
attended, whether or not credit was earned, will be subject
to
immediate suspension.
Upon
receipt of your application and official transcript(s), an
official academic credit evaluation will be made. Results
will be sent to you by mail.
How
to be readmitted to DABCC
If you have
been away from Doņa Ana Branch Community College,
New Mexico State University, or any other NMSU branch for
one or more consecutive semesters, you can be readmitted by
completing an application for readmission. If
you attended any other colleges or universities during your
absence from DABCC, NMSU, or any NMSU branch, you must
request to have all official transcripts from these other
colleges or universities mailed to DABCC.
No
application fee is required. Notification of readmission
will be given after an evaluation of previous education is
completed.
If
you were previously admitted but did not attend, you must
submit an updated application and may be required to submit
official transcripts again.
Foreign
Students
A
foreign student is any individual attending Doņa Ana Branch
Community College, New Mexico State University, or any other
NMSU branch campus, while present in the United States on a
non-immigrant student visa.
All foreign students must apply for admission through
the Center for International Programs Office on the NMSU
campus. Legal
immigrants or refugees must present documentation of their
status either to the Admissions Office or to the Center for
International Programs Office.
Special
Admissions Requirements
There
are seven programs at Doņa Ana Branch Community College
that have special admissions requirements:
Apprenticeship
Programs
(Electrical,
Machinist, and, Plumbing)
Dental
Assistant
Area
Vocational School
(Concurrent Enrollment)
Emergency
Medical Services
Nursing
(Associate Degree Program)
Radiologic
Technology
Respiratory
Care
Sonography
In addition to fulfilling the general requirements for admission to DABCC, individuals seeking admission to these programs must also fulfill certain special admissions requirements. Since these programs generally have limited enrollment, completion of the
admission requirements for a specific program does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Acceptance may be competitive, based on an individuals academic performance in previous coursework and other criteria. Specific information regarding the acceptance procedure may be obtained from the individual program.
Students who have
fulfilled all the special admissions requirements, yet were not admitted
because of space limitations, will not automatically be considered for a
subsequent semester. Therefore, they must reapply to special admissions
programs each time they wish to be considered for acceptance.
Similarly, students who may have been accepted during a particular
semester, but failed to accept an offer to enroll, must also reapply in
order to be considered.
