• Financial Aid:  The Truck Driver Training program is approved for veteran’s educational benefits, but not the FAFSA (Pell Grant). Questions should be directed to the DCCC Financial Aid Office at 336.249.8186, ext. 6227.  Targeted Assistance funds are available to assist with tuition and books on a very limited basis.

• Refund Policy:  Only tuition and fees will be refunded, if an applicant is unable to meet admission requirements prior to the start of class.

• Special Accommodations: In order to receive Learning Accommodations at DCCC you must notify the Office of Counseling and Disability Services that you have a disability or medical condition and are requesting accommodations.  Please contact us in one of the following ways:

• In person: Brooks Student Center, Offices 207 or 213
• By phone: 336.249.8186, ext.6342
• By fax: 336.249.0379
• While DCCC has an open admissions policy, many employers require criminal background checks and will not hire convicted felons.  Presence of a felony on your record will severely limit your employment opportunities in this field.  Also, the presence of a DUI or certain traffic violations may present challenges to finding employment in this field.
