The DACC Early Admission Program (EA) is designed to allow High School Juniors/Seniors and Home School students an opportunity to take college-level courses concurrently with their high school courses. Unlike the Dual Credit Program, the EA Program is financed by the student and is not part of a structured curriculum for the transition to regular college admissions. In addition, all students under the EA program are admitted in a non-degree status. This program not only allows students to gain college credit but also a college experience in the classroom, interaction with DACC student life and a chance to eventually become part of the DACC student body after graduation or obtaining a GED.
