New Student Orientation is held at each campus throughout the summer. While we recommend that students attend an orientation session at the campus where most of their classes will be held, students can register for and attend an orientation session on any campus that fits their schedule.

El Centro Campus is in the heart of downtown Dallas. As there are no reserved parking areas for Dallas College students, we recommend using metered street parking or any of the public parking lots near campus. The best building entrance to use is the one on Main Street.
