DeVry University-Virginia

What is the accreditation of DeVry University-Virginia?

DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Institutional accreditation applies to the university as a whole; it is distinct from specialized accreditation that may apply to an individual program.

Accreditation is an important condition for participation in federal student aid programs, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept DeVry credits or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license. Transfer decisions belong to the receiving institution. For occupations with licensing or specialized accreditation requirements, applicants should verify the status of their exact program and location with the relevant accreditor or licensing authority before enrolling.

What are the admission requirements at DeVry University-Virginia?

Degree-seeking applicants to DeVry University-Virginia generally need an application and evidence of high school completion or an accepted equivalent, such as a GED credential. Reported admissions requirements include a secondary school record and GPA. DeVry does not report an open-admission policy.

SAT and ACT scores are considered but are not required in the admissions information for this institution. Class rank, a college-preparatory curriculum, and recommendations are neither required nor recommended. Applicants whose education was completed outside the United States should confirm whether their records need evaluation and what evidence of English-language proficiency applies to their circumstances; a TOEFL score is considered but not required in the reported requirements.

Graduate and specialized programs can have different prerequisites. An applicant should use the requirements for the intended credential, rather than assume that undergraduate entry rules apply to every DeVry program.

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

The reported application fee for DeVry University-Virginia is $30. An application fee is separate from tuition, required course charges, and any costs associated with obtaining transcripts.

Applicants should check the fee displayed in the current application before submitting payment, particularly if applying to a graduate program or through a special admissions arrangement. Anyone who needs a waiver should ask admissions about eligibility and the request process before submitting the application; a waiver should not be assumed from eligibility for financial aid.

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

An Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit operated at DeVry University-Virginia has not been established in the institutional information available for this article. Students should not assume that proximity to other Washington-area universities creates an ROTC cross-enrollment option.

A prospective cadet should ask both DeVry and the ROTC detachment of interest whether a formal arrangement permits participation while enrolled at DeVry. ROTC scholarships, participation rules, and eventual service obligations are set under branch-specific requirements; military education benefits available to veterans or service members are a different form of assistance.

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

DeVry University-Virginia generally accepts transfer credit from other accredited institutions, subject to evaluation against the student's chosen program. Transfer applicants can seek entry in fall, winter, spring, or summer, according to the reported transfer-enrollment options.

DeVry also reports accepting eligible CLEP, DSST/DANTES, and American Council on Education credit recommendations. That does not mean every examination score or prior course will satisfy a degree requirement. Applicants should arrange for official college transcripts and applicable examination or training records to be sent for review, then request a written evaluation showing which credits apply to the intended degree.

Before enrolling, transfer students should confirm any grade minimums, limits on transferred credit, and the number of credits they must complete through DeVry. Admission to the university and acceptance of a particular course for a major are separate decisions.

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

A DeVry University-Virginia semester-long exchange or campus-operated study-abroad program has not been established here. Applicants for whom international study is essential should not assume that a program offered by another university can be applied to a DeVry degree.

Before committing to outside coursework, a student would need written approval explaining how its credits fit the DeVry program. Financial aid for study through another provider may depend on the arrangement between the institutions and the student's eligibility; approval of academic credit alone does not settle that question.
