Dutchess Community College

We are thrilled to announce a new Guaranteed Pathway program with Purchase College, SUNY This agreement establishes a clear path for acceptance and enrollment for DCC grads, allowing eligible alumni to transfer to SUNY Purchase with junior standing.

As part of the agreement, SUNY Purchase will also refer freshman applicants that were not accepted and notify them of their eligibility for the Guaranteed Pathway Program through DCC.

But that's not all - today we unveiled the Center for Arts and Performance Excellence at DCC– an academic and programmatic pathways model for students with an interest in visual and performing arts, media/communications arts and humanities.

Campus Update: Main Campus Reopening Tuesday, July 7

DCC’s main campus in Poughkeepsie will reopen for normal operations on Tuesday, July 7.

Thank you to our grounds, housekeeping, facilities, IT, and security teams for their hard work restoring campus following the July 4 weather event. We’re also grateful to Central Hudson for their quick response and support in helping us safely reopen.

Some cleanup work will continue over the coming days but will not impact normal operations.

Thank you, Falcon community, for your patience and flexibility. 💙
