DACC Offers Hope for Students
Danville Area Community College is committed to providing quality , innovative , and accessible learning experiences which meet the lifelong academic , cultural , and economic needs of our diverse communities and the world we share .
At DACC , we ’ re getting ready for a new academic year . Though we went online for a time , we never closed and locked the doors . We adapted to the new normal and continued to offer quality , affordable , convenient educational resources to the community .
Nothing illustrates hope on a college campus like students and professors in classrooms . Our campus is fully opened , classes are meeting in person and in normal numbers -- still less populated and much more personal than a big university lecture . Despite seasonal swings in COVID cases , we ’ re learning to live with and prepare for occasional outbreaks . Pandemic protocols are transitioning to endemic processes . Thanks to the wonders of modern medicine , we ’ re able to work and function normally .
There will always be students who prefer , or need , online classes . Our faculty have honed their online teaching skills . We ’ ve learned that some courses and students need a set , synchronous schedule to be successful , while others are more suited to asynchronous , independent study . The college purchased laptops and other technology for loan to students who need resources to be successful either online or in the classroom .
Full time students receive a $ 600 discount on their fall tuition . For those who need to pay over time , we offer a monthly payment plan to help budget your expenses . If
you need a little help with classes , each division has free tutoring services .
Of course , the College continues to offer a full menu of transfer and career courses to high school students through the many dual enrollment opportunities on campus and in area high schools . Whether it ’ s a traditional transfer class taken on the student ’ s own time or offered at the high school , a career program through College Express or Project Lead the Way , or a path to high school completion and college success for at-risk students , dual enrollment at DACC saves students and families time and money for a college degree . Talk to a high school guidance counselor for more information .
In order to help place-bound students earn a Bachelor ’ s degree , DACC offers the 3 + 1 Bachelor Completion Program . Through agreements with partner institutions , DACC students can earn a Bachelor ’ s degree without leaving the area .
