F-1 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ADMISSIONS GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for your interest in Delaware Technical Community College (Delaware Tech). Students from all over
the world attend Delaware Tech, which is located in the eastern United States. We are the state of Delaware’s
only community college and have four campus locations
:
The Wilmington (Orlando J. George) Campus, located in the urban city of Wilmington, serves New Castle
County where more than half of Delaware’s population resides.
The Stanton Campus is located in suburban Stanton and serves New Castle County residents.
The Dover (Charles L. Terry) Campus, serving Kent County, is in Dover, the state capital.
The Georgetown (Jack F. Owens) Campus is in historic Georgetown located in Sussex County, the
southernmost of Delaware’s three counties.
Delaware Tech is a non-residential college, meaning it does not have dormitories or student housing on campus.
Students are responsible for arranging their own housing and accommodations prior to arrival in the United
States.
As an F-1 International Student, you can receive an Associate of Science (AS), Associate of Applied Science (AAS),
and Associate of Arts in Teaching (AAT) degree, diploma, or certificate in technical occupational areas. You can

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROGRAMS WITH SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Delaware Tech is an open access college, but students must demonstrate academic readiness for college level
courses, satisfy course pre-requisites, and be selected for admission into academic programs that have limited
seats and program-specific admission criteria and requirements. Academic programs with specific admission
criteria, requirements, and limited seats offer admission to qualified students through either a Competitive
Admission Process or a Wait List Admission Process.
In the Competitive Admission Process, qualified students are ranked on the basis of their performance in
meeting admission criteria and completing admission requirements. Performance measures may include but are
not limited to grades, course pass attempts, and scores on national and college specific examinations. Ranking is
conducted each time program admission is open, so a student’s chance of admission changes in relationship to
the performance of other student applicants. In a competitive admission process, program admission is not
guaranteed to any student.
In the Wait List Admission Process, qualified students are placed on a wait list for program admission after they
meet all admission criteria and requirements at the minimal prescribed level. In this process, all qualified
students who meet the admission criteria and requirements are eventually offered a seat in the program.
To be considered for a seat in academic programs with competitive or wait list admission processes, qualified
students must participate in the program’s application process. All applicants should review their selected
program as shown in the College Catalog to determine if there are additional admission requirements related to
their specific program of study. https://www.dtcc.edu/academics/programs-study
.
Programs with limited seats and special admission processes may include but are not limited to the following:
Aviation Maintenance*
Airframe Maintenance Certificate*
Power Plant Certificate*
Allied Health**
Automotive*
Automotive Technician Studies*
Nursing**
*Wait List Admission Program **Competitive Admission Program
Programs with limited seats and specific program admission criteria and requirements may afford preference
to residents of the State of Delaware. Delaware residency is determined in accordance with the requirements
contained in the College's residency policy (The policy can be found here:
https://www.dtcc.edu/academics/student-handbook/entering-college).
The President of Delaware Technical
Community College is authorized to establish enrollment quotas for qualified candidates by county for special
admission programs that are offered in one or two counties in the State of Delaware and not offered in the
other county or counties. At no time shall the quota for the campus offering the program be less than two-
thirds of the entering enrollment.
Advisory Statement Regarding Additional Admission Requirements for Academic Programs
Delaware Technical Community College is an open admissions institution with degree, diploma, and certificate
programs that require completion of courses, internships, practicums, clinical, field work assignments, and other
experiential learning requirements.
Approval of a student's placement in settings such as health care facilities, schools, and human services agencies
that provide these experiences is the right of the organization providing the setting and not the College.
Although requirements vary by organization and are constantly evolving, common criteria include:
9
Updated January 2022
Satisfactory criminal background check, including a review of the adult abuse and child protection
registries
Satisfactory health exam, including proof of immunizations and drug screenings
Valid Social Security number and proof of legal residency
High school diploma (also required for admission to selective programs)
Other applicable licensing/credentialing requirements
Students should be aware that these requirements could limit or prevent their ability to complete an academic
program. Students are responsible for all arrangements and costs associated with these requirements. It is the
student's responsibility to inquire about conditions and acceptance into courses and programs that may have
special requirements.
Full-time Enrollment Status Required While Awaiting Admission Decision for Special Admission Programs
Students who are accepted into a competitive or wait list admission program may have a lengthy waiting period
before taking degree-related classes. During this waiting period, United States immigration regulations require
that international students studying on the F-1 visa study full-time each semester.
Full-time Enrollment Status Required During Clinical Portions of Programs
Students who are accepted into a competitive or wait list admission program may also have to complete clinical
courses which do not equate to a full-time course load. United States immigration regulations also require that
F-1 international students study full-time during these semesters as well.
By signing below, the student and sponsor acknowledge that they have read and understand the above terms of
this document or that it has been translated and fully explained to them.

DECLARATION OF F-1 INTERNATIONAL STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH USCIS
REGULATIONS & DELAWARE TECH POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
Individuals who enter the United States on an F-1 student visa are subject to special requirements during their
stay. Each individual is responsible for maintaining his/her F-1 status. I agree to comply with the following
visa regulation requirements and protocol:
Maintain Full-Time Enrollment: I understand I must enroll as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours) every
fall and spring semester. I further understand that I must enroll in at least nine (9) credits that are classroom
based. F1 International Students enrolled in an English as a Second Language (ESL) program are not permitted to
enroll in online courses, and must enroll in a minimum of 18 clock hours per semester. I understand that if I am
awaiting acceptance to a competitive admission program, I must maintain full-time status.
Changes to Class Schedule: I understand I must not drop/add classes without first consulting with my
international student advisor and DSO. Any student wishing to withdraw or reduce their course load due to
medical reasons or extenuating circumstances must obtain prior approval from the campus DSO.
Employment: I understand I am not allowed to work off campus in the United States without U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Service (USCIS) authorization. I further understand that working off-campus without USCIS
approval is a serious violation of my F-1 visa status. I may, however, work on campus for a maximum of twenty
hours per week when school is in session if employment is available.
Travel Outside of United States: I understand I must notify my designated school official (DSO) at least 2 weeks
prior to traveling outside the U.S. to obtain his/her signature on my current valid I-20 if I plan to return.
Extension of Stay: I understand I must apply for an extension of my program of study prior to the expiration
date of my I-20 if I cannot complete my program by the expiration date. I must complete and file my request for
an extension on a Form I-538 with the Immigration and Naturalization Service district office having jurisdiction
over Delaware Tech at least 15 days but not more than 60 days prior to the expiration of my authorized stay.
Legal Obligations: I understand that it is my responsibility to be fully aware of the legal obligations of my F-1
international student status and to fully comply with all related requirements. Delaware Technical Community
College does not provide legal services. For legal issues and services, please contact an immigration attorney.
Maintain Valid Foreign Passport: I understand I must maintain a valid foreign passport at least 6 months ahead
of its expiration date unless I am exempt from passport requirements.
Medical Insurance: I understand medical insurance (including repatriation coverage) is not required but strongly
encouraged to have during my time of study at Delaware Tech.
Notice of Changes:
I understand I must report the following changes in information to my DSO within 10 days:
Any change in my legal name
Any change in my local home address (where I physically reside), email, or phone number
Any plan to change my major or program of study
Any changes to sponsor’s information
11
Updated January 2022
Progress toward Completion: To maintain F1 status, I understand I must pursue and complete my full course of
study before the program end date recorded on my currently valid Form I-20, unless I apply for and am
approved for a program extension.
Tuition Assessment: I understand I am not eligible for the Delaware resident tuition rate and will be billed at the
out-of-state tuition rate.
All applicants accepted to Delaware Tech are expected to comply with the College’s academic policies and
regulations. Please carefully read and acknowledge the following requirements for F-1 students:
I understand I must undergo testing to demonstrate my proficiency in mathematics, reading and the
English language. I understand I must take the ACCUPLACER/LOEP college placement test if my first
language is not English and if I have not submitted the appropriate TOEFL or IELTS scores. I will enroll in
the English as a Second Language Program if testing indicates the necessity to improve my English
proficiency before enrolling in degree level courses.
I understand that the College has the right to engage in an exchange of information regarding my
enrollment status, academic standing and progress, conduct, or unmet obligations with United States
federal and local government law enforcement offices and agencies working under the authority of the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
I understand I must provide evidence of the information in my admission application packet including
updated financial statements, if requested by a college official. I understand it is my responsibility to
notify the Admissions Office of any changes in the information I have provided.
I agree to attend a new student orientation session during my first year of study and the F-1
International Student Orientation and Information Session each semester.
I agree to comply with Delaware Tech’s policies and regulations including those related to zero tolerance
for drugs, alcohol, and weapons on campus. I understand failure to do so will result in the penalties
described in the Delaware Tech Student Handbook.
I certify that the information that I have provided is correct and complete. I understand that deliberate failure to
provide accurate information may result in the denial of admission or dismissal from the College.
I have read the above conditions and fully understand and agree to them.
