Readmission and Change of Program

Policy Statement

1.1 Admissions 

Procedure 

Readmission Requirements 

Eligibility for readmission to Durham Technical Community College (Durham Tech) depends on individual circumstances and the requirements of the specific curriculum program. Readmission in limited-enrollment programs is offered on a space-available basis. Certain programs may also require students to complete individual readmission plans. Readmitted students must complete the admission requirements and the program’s graduation requirements in effect at the time of readmission.

Students who previously applied to or attended Durham Tech and have not maintained continuous enrollment must do the following:

1. Re-apply to the College using the CFNC enrollment application. The Admissions, Registration, and Records Office will require time to process the application. Students should complete and submit the application as early as possible, preferably before the priority enrollment due date (see Registration and Enrollment Important Dates).
2. Submit official transcripts from all institutions of higher education they have attended since their last semester at Durham Tech.
    

Change of Program

Students who wish to initiate the change of program process must complete the following steps:

1. Consult with their faculty or program advisor, or visit the Advising Services Center in the Phail Wynn, Jr. Student Services Center (Building 10, room Room 10-200, Main Campus), or at the Orange County Campus to receive assistance. This must be done prior to completing and submitting the Change of Academic Program form.

   Information regarding the advisory meeting will be documented in Self-Service. Students expecting to receive financial aid to cover the costs associated with the new program are encouraged to consult with a financial aid advisor to ensure that aid will be available prior to submitting the change of program form.
    

2. Complete and submit the Change of Academic Program Form.

   Once the form is processed by Admissions, Registration and Records, the student will receive notification of the change. Requests submitted prior to the financial aid census date (?) of the current semester will be processed with the program change effective for the current semester. Requests submitted after the financial aid census date will be processed with program changes effective for the next academic semester (e.g., If the financial aid census date is January 26 for the spring semester and students consult with an advisor and submit a Change of Academic Program Form on or after January 27, the program change will be effective for the summer semester).

Students may contact the Admissions, Registration, and Records Office (Wynn Center (Building 10), room 10-201, Main Campus); at 919-536-7200, ext. 1122) for assistance.
