Returning Students

If you attended DMACC within the past year, you do not need to reapply.

You are considered a returning student if you completed classes in a previous semester at DMACC within the last year (excluding Career Advantage or Cross Enrolled programs) and have not changed your academic program since your last enrollment.

• Students who have changed their program of interest may be required to attend an orientation session for the new program before becoming eligible to register for classes.
• Returning students are strongly encouraged to contact an Academic Advisor to ensure their selected courses align with current program or degree requirements.
• If it has been more than one year since your last enrollment, your DMACC account may have been closed due to academic inactivity. You may need to reapply for admission and reset your account credentials.
• Need help? Please contact our Admissions office for application and program information assistance here: 515-965-7337
