I'm interested in attending UDC Community College, but I'm not quite sure where to start with the application. Can someone guide me through the steps I need to follow?
Sure, I'd be glad to help walk you through the application process for UDC Community College!
UDC operates on a rollings admissions process, which means that there is no hard deadline for applications. That being said, however, it's a good idea to apply early to ensure that you have enough time to finalize financial aid and registration.
Here are the necessary steps to apply:
1. Filling Out the Application: You'll start by visiting UDC's website and filling out the online application. This will require basic information about yourself, your academic history, and some short answer questions.
2. Submit Transcripts: As a part of the application, you will need to submit official transcripts from any high schools or colleges you have attended. For high school transcripts, they need to contain graduation dates. If you earned a GED, you'll need to submit those official scores.
3. Standardized Test Scores: UDC doesn’t require SAT or ACT scores, but you can submit them if you have them. If you are a recent high school graduate (within five years), they suggest providing these scores, but they're still not a requirement.
4. Placement Testing: If UDC receives your application and decides you need to take placement tests in reading, writing, or math, they'll get in touch with you to schedule these.
5. Residency Verification: If you're a resident of Washington D.C., you'll have to verify your residency for tuition purposes. You can check UDC's website for more details on the necessary documents to provide.
6. Application Fee: UDC has a non-refundable $35 application fee. The fee payment is the last part of the online application.
Once you've completed these steps, you'll simply need to monitor your application status through UDC's student portal and respond to any additional requests they may have.
Good luck on your application! Remember to be thorough, accurate, and honest throughout the process. If you need any more guidance, UDC's admissions office is generally very helpful and would be happy to assist you.
