Des Moines Area Consortium for Higher Education (DMACHE) Cross-Enrollment Program
The cross-enrollment guidelines were originally adopted by the Consortium in 1975 and amended in 1992, 2003, 2009 and 2016 to reflect changes in the cross-enrollment program. The agreement has received approval of the presidents of the three DMACHE institutions: Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC), Drake University, and Grand View University. This agreement allows full-time undergraduate students to enroll at one of the participating institutions.
