Dordt College has a closed admissions policy. This doesn't mean you won't be able to be admitted to the school, but that you should contact the admissions office for complete admissions information. In order to apply for admittance, you will need your high school GPA, transcripts, and standardized test scores, such as those from an ACT or SAT. (Check with the admissions office to see which tests are acceptable.) It is also recommend (but not required) that you supply your high school ranking. If English is not your primary language, it is required that you take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and submit the results with your admissions application.

Of those who applied to the school, 90% were admitted. There are currently 1,266 students enrolled in the Dordt College. The school is associated with the Christian Reformed Church church. This association may place additional restrictions on who can apply or on student behavior while attending the school.

Academic and career counseling services are available to students and, if it fits better with your needs, the school offers some programs via distance learning.

The school has on-campus housing available for up to 1,236 students. On-campus housing costs average about $2,720 per year.
