Enrollment in University Transfer Credit Courses at DTCC 

For a student to be accepted into a university transfer credit course, s/he must attain a minimum score on either of the following tests:  SAT, ACT, or COMPASS.  The COMPASS is free and administered at DTCC.  If a student does not take the test, or does not receive a qualifying score, s/he may enroll in a non-university transfer credit course only (see DTCC Placement Testing). 

All Durham Tech. classes and the use of required
materials are free to MCHS students.
