After Your Application
After submitting your completed application, be on the lookout for an email that will contain your new student ID and appropriate next steps. Please allow 24-48 hours for your welcome email to arrive.
In the meantime, you can begin collecting the documents required to complete your admission.
Almost every student is eligible for some type of financial aid. That might mean federal grants or loans. But even if you aren’t eligible for federal aid, you may qualify for a work-study job, scholarships, emergency funds, food assistance and more.
But you must apply!
- Estimated time: 60 minutes or less (if needed documents are gathered before starting)

Collect Required Documents
Important! While you might be currently working with a college coach (recruiter), before you can meet with your success coach (advisor) or register for classes, you must first submit the following documents.
1. High school and/or college transcripts
Transcripts can be sent electronically, directly from your previous school(s) to Dallas College.
- Request official high school transcripts from your previous high school.
- If you have attended other colleges, request official transcripts from your previous college(s).
- Please follow your institution’s (high school or secondary education institution) transcript request process to directly submit your official transcript(s) to Dallas College.
