by our College Data Analytics Team⚠️ VA Caution Flag. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has placed a caution flag on Dawson Community College (Heightened Cash Monitoring (Compliance Audit Late or Missing)). We recommend veterans look into this before committing their benefits.
Before you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Dawson Community College veteran students to support your research.

Our Veterans Report on DCC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 5 GI Bill® students at DCC. Given that enrollment at the school is 226, around 2.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.

Veterans with specialized military training may be able to earn college credit at DCC. Ask the admissions office how this applies to you. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Check with DCC about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are not available at DCC.
The VA has no complaints on record for this college.
