DePaul Admission Partnership Program

​​Prove yourself in community college. Get guaranteed admission here.

DePaul’s Admission Partnership Program (DAPP) guarantees admission to highly qualified students earning an associate degree from a community college and looking to complete a bachelor’s degree at DePaul. With the assistance of a dedicated transfer admission counselor, students are guided toward which courses to take prior to transfer—saving both time and money in the transfer process.

Students are eligible to participate in DAPP by meeting the following requirements:

  • DAPP is only for community college transfers. Students who join must do so before completing 24 semester (36 quarter) hours of college level course work and plan to be enrolled at the community college for at least two full semesters before transferring to DePaul.
  • Attend (or plan to attend) a community college within the contiguous United States
  • Achieve good academic standing in all college course work (minimum cumulative 2.0/4.0 GPA)
  • Maintain continuous enrollment of at least two (2) courses per semester (not including summer) at the community college for no more than a period of three (3) years
  • Plan to be enrolled at a community college for at least two full semesters from the date of joining DAPP
  • Commit to meeting with a Transfer Admission Counselor each semester prior to transferring to DePaul

Join Early to Enjoy the Benefits

To enjoy all of the benefits of DAPP, we encourage you to join before you start classes at your community college or during your first semester (but definitely before your third semester). Simply schedule an appointment with a Transfer Admission Counselor and indicate in the appointment form that you are interested in DAPP. During your appointment, the counselor will explain the program and review your eligibility. Upon approval, the counselor will send you a DAPP Participation Form. Complete, sign, submit, and you’re done.
