  • DMACC ESL Compass score. The student who does not have TOEFL scores or an official transcript from an accredited U.S. college or university showing the English proficiency is eligible to apply for the DMACC I-20 for F-1 visa application or transferring to DMACC from a U.S. college or university. DMACC will provide the E.S.L. Compass test when the students arrive at the campus.

After the international student arrives in the U.S. the student must report to the DMACC's International Student Office (ISO). The ISO will assist the international student to complete the procedures for registration. Then, the international student must pay this deposit before his/her course registration.
