DeVry University-California

What is the accreditation of DeVry University-California?

DeVry University holds institutional accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as a whole and is relevant to its eligibility to participate in federal student aid programs; it does not mean that every individual program holds a separate professional accreditation.

Programmatic accreditation and professional licensing are separate questions. Students considering a regulated occupation should check the exact program, credential and state where they intend to work. Likewise, an accredited institution may accept a transfer application without accepting every credit: the receiving school decides how prior coursework applies to its degree.

What are the admission requirements at DeVry University-California?

First-time applicants to DeVry University-California generally need an application and documentation of high school completion or an equivalent credential, such as a GED. Admissions reporting also identifies the secondary school record and GPA as required information. SAT and ACT scores may be considered but are not required.

School rank, recommendations and completion of a college-preparatory curriculum are not listed as required admissions materials. Applicants educated outside the United States or in a language other than English should confirm which transcripts, translations or English-proficiency evidence apply to their circumstances. Requirements can also differ by degree level and program.

Admissions are not formally open to every applicant. In the reported first-time applicant group, 197 of 200 applicants were admitted - about 99%. That figure describes one applicant cohort, not an admissions guarantee. Because DeVry offers multiple starting points during the year, applicants should request the deadline and document-submission date for the specific session they want to enter.

What are the application fees and waivers at DeVry University-California?

DeVry University-California reported a $30 application fee in its institutional admissions data. Applicants should check the fee displayed in their current application before submitting it; a reported fee may differ from a current promotion or an applicant-specific arrangement.

The application fee is separate from tuition, course fees and any later enrollment charges. An applicant seeking a waiver should ask admissions whether one applies to their applicant category and whether approval must be obtained before payment. A waiver should not be assumed from financial-aid eligibility alone.

What types of ROTC programs are available at DeVry University-California?

Students should not assume that DeVry's Ontario location operates an Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit. ROTC participation through another college would depend on that host institution's cross-enrollment rules, DeVry's academic policies and scheduling compatibility.

A student interested in becoming an officer should ask the prospective ROTC host unit whether DeVry students are eligible before building an academic plan around participation. ROTC scholarships have separate application and eligibility requirements, and commissioning normally carries a military service obligation.

What are the requirements for transfer students at DeVry University-California?

DeVry University-California generally considers coursework transferred from other accredited institutions, but admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular credits are separate decisions. Transfer applicants should submit official transcripts from every college attended and obtain a program-specific credit evaluation.

The institution reports that transfer students can begin in fall, winter, spring or summer. It also recognizes several potential routes to credit beyond conventional college courses, including Advanced Placement, CLEP, DSST/DANTES and credit evaluated under American Council on Education recommendations. Credit for prior learning may be possible, subject to DeVry's rules.

Before enrolling, ask how each accepted course will satisfy the intended degree - not merely how many credits will transfer. The resulting evaluation should show remaining requirements, any limits on transferred credit and how many credits must be completed through DeVry. That is especially important for a student switching majors or bringing in technical coursework from another institution.

What types of study abroad programs are available at DeVry University-California?

Study abroad is not a defining feature of DeVry University-California's career-focused, flexible-study model. A student who wants an overseas semester or international internship should seek program-specific approval before assuming the experience can count toward a DeVry credential.

The practical questions are whether the proposed provider and courses qualify for transfer credit, whether required DeVry courses will still be available on the student's return and whether financial aid can be used for the arrangement. Approval should be obtained in writing before committing to travel or program costs.
