Students who want to apply for a career or technical program at DMTC must complete the following steps.
- Submit a completed school application to the Student Services office. The application must include a signature and date. Incomplete applications will not be processed, and will be returned to the applicant.
- Submit a final transcript from a previously attended high school or recognized postsecondary institution or GED results.
3. Take and pass the TABE (Tests of Adult Basic Education). These tests take approximately 3-4 hours and cost $25. (See Table 1: Required TABE Scores for the minimum TABE grade level standard requirements for enrollment in programs at DMTC.) Students must meet the minimum TABE grade levels prior to being accepted into the program. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule an appointment to take the test.
We have several resources available to assist students who do not meet the minimum requirements. Students may purchase lab time in our Testing and Assessment Center at $5 an hour to work with KeyTrain™ computerized tutorials to raise their skills to the required levels. KeyTrain™ may be utilized prior to taking the TABE the first time, or prior to retaking all or a portion of the TABE. Students may also take remedial math or English courses through our Career and Learning Center to improve their skills.
Students may retake the TABE one time at no cost. There will be a $10 charge for each additional visit for TABE retakes. Students must wait two weeks between retakes. TABE scores will be accepted from other agencies with prior approval, but they must be the full TABE, locator tests are not acceptable.

Under the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 1973, 23-7-102, a person must have been domiciled with intent to stay in Colorado for one full calendar year prior to school enrollment to be entitled to the resident tuition rate. Establishment of residency requires the adoption of Colorado as a place of fixed and permanent habitation. It involves not only personal presence, but also concurrently the intent to make that residence the true and actual home. Applicants may be required to submit additional documentation substantiating a claim of resident eligibility for tuition purposes.
Any student who willfully gives false or misleading information about residency status for tuition classification purposes will be subject to retroactive assessment of nonresident tuition and disciplinary and/or legal action.
All tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of registration. (See Cost Sheet for complete program costs.) A letter of authorization from a public agency that accepts the responsibility to pay tuition and fees may be accepted in lieu of the cash payment. Registration is not complete until the student’s obligation is met in full. Exceptions to this policy may be made by the administration. No student will be allowed to register for current classes until all financial obligations from previous terms are cleared.
An instructional supply fee is charged for books, tools, and supplies provided by DMTC. Those books, tools, and supplies will not be released to students until they are paid in full. In some programs, students will be required to purchase additional tools, supplies, and equipment. Instructors will provide students with a list of any additional items that are required.
The following are additional fees that may be assessed:
· Application/Testing Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Insurance Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Program/Lab Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Books (see Cost Sheet)
· Activity/Graduation Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Refund Processing Fee (10% of Tuition, not to exceed $50) – Non-refundable
· Insurance for PN/Nursing Assistant (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Pre-registration Fee for Nursing applied to tuition at time of registration ($50)
· Deferred Payment Fee ($20) – Non-refundable
· Official Transcript Fee ($5 per transcript) – Non-refundable (Allow 3-5 working days to process. Overnight or express requests will be an additional $15 fee.)
· Replacement Certificate Fee (within one year) ($10) – Non-refundable
· Copy of Certificate or Unofficial Transcript ($2)
