Welcome back! If you’ve previously attended College of DuPage, including as a Dual Enrollment student, you’re considered a returning student and do not need to reapply. We’re here to support you in achieving your goals, whether that means completing a course, earning a certificate or finishing your degree.
Students who enrolled in Dual Credit or Continuing Education courses must submit the undergraduate application to pursue a degree or certificate.
ReUp Partnership
College of DuPage has partnered with ReUp Education to help students who previously attended but paused their studies return and complete their degrees. ReUp will connect with students directly by phone, email or text, linking them to resources and keeping them motivated through graduation. COD enrollment coaches will be available to partner with ReUp for additional enrollment and onboarding support.
