2. Sign up for intake orientation week.

During this appointment we will ask for:

student's UNEXPIRED NC ID
16-17 yr old withdrawal from last attended school
16-17 yr old needs a parent/guardian for the first day
parent/guardian will need an UNEXPIRED NC ID. This is to ensure that you can leave and get the DTCC waiver form signed and dropped off by end of the first day.

3.Complete the DAACS Assessment

DAACS stands for Diagnostic Assessment and Achievement of College Skills. We first assess the gaps with Self-Regulated Learning, Writing, Reading & Math. Tools to help us understand where new learners are at the time of intake so they can grow with confidence.

4. Complete Official Placement Assessments

After completing DAACS and initial placement assessments, you will complete the TABE placement assessments. We begin with the reading assessment to help us place students into the proper curriculum. Students may be placed in the following for beginning preparation:

*Adult Basic Literacy

*Pre-High School Equivalency

*High School Equivalency

5. Review Placement Assessments and Create SMART Goals

Students will create a plan with staff. It will be personalized to their current level and mapped out to completion. It may change over time depending upon how a student progresses.

Finally, begin self-paced learning!

Students will receive their schedule and begin attending in-person classes at the DLC. Classes are more like learning labs. It is self-paced learning with mentors and coaches supporting. Meaning, the coaches are there to assist students when they get stuck on concepts or need supplemental assistance. Coaches SUPPORT the learning and preparation for the tests.
