The mission of College of DuPage is to educate, enrich and empower our communities for success. If you are ready to find your path and develop your talents, we’re here to guide you through the admissions and enrollment process.
Admission at College of DuPage is open to anyone who is a high school graduate, has earned a GED or is at least 18 years old and can benefit from college-level instruction. Prospective students need to submit the undergraduate application to be considered for admission.
Entrance exams are not required for admission. However, submitting ACT or SAT scores, or high school or college transcripts, can help academic advisors develop a more accurate academic plan and determine if placement tests in reading, writing, or math are needed for course registration.
College of DuPage has partnered with ReUp Education to support students who previously attended college but paused their education. ReUp Education offers personalized, one-on-one support by phone, email or text. ReUp helps connect students with resources at COD and provides encouragement through degree completion.
