The school itself is decent with the general faculty being helpful, courteous, and knowledgable, sometimes even becoming a buddy.

Unfortunately, the administration is extremely disorganized and sometimes, I daresay, corrupt. After being promised an off-the-record scholarship, I had difficulty getting this scholarship applied after enrollment and spent the majority of my first year struggling with financial aid. In my first year at DCC, financial aid was directed by three different people, the first of whom actually wanted to help with my plight (though the school had failed to inform her at all on the matter), the second of whom committed FRAUD, applying for loans under my name, recycling information from old loan applications. The third financial aid officer was friendly and moderately competent but had little interest in actually getting to the bottom of the administrative mess.

Halfway through my second semester, the school informed me that I was wrong about having been admitted a scholarship and proceeded to ask for payment then. Keep in mind, this was AFTER the acceptable drop period when I was informed that they expected payment from me. I was forced to withdraw, having wasted a semester and being left with fraudulent loans to straighten out, unable to enroll in any university in the nation and unable to transfer my useless credits to even most Christian universities.

The school itself does NOT make up for the mixed-up administration. I have heard of at least four other people leaving the school (during my time there) on account of the financial aid office and business office mixing up their finances.
