General Info | Facilities | Resources | Licensing

You and your family can enjoy a well-rounded schedule of activities while at the college.

Class Organization
Class Organization is encouraged in order that each class might work together as a team. Class officers are elected early in the year and with their leadership, many class functions are planned and enjoyed by the entire student body. Many of the classes have worked collectively to make contributions and to help the underprivileged.

Pi Sigma Eta
Pi Sigma Eta is an honorary funeral service fraternity represented at the college by the Epsilon Chapter. Admission is based on scholastic standing and is subject to the rules of the mother chapter.

Student Center
The Robert P. Kite Student Center is a modern area where the students are provided with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.

Allied Trades Activities
Allied Trades Activities also provides outside entertainment as well as adding to funeral service education, as firms associated with funeral service entertain the students with trips, lunches and other activities.

Student Advising and Guidance
It is the feeling of the college that the student should mature in all areas, not solely scholastic areas. With this in mind, advising of students may be held at regular intervals. It is hoped that students will confide in their advisers whenever necessary, with the assurance that all problems are held in confidence and judged on an individual basis and with full consideration. Other members of the college staff, including the president, are available to assist the students with their needs.

Living Accommodations
Most of the housing is in local modern apartments. For those that desire a house, there are some available, but they are further from the campus and transportation is necessary. Incoming students may come to the college upon arrival in the city and pick up a list of housing options recommended by the student body.

Student Employment
The college is in constant contact with people who are looking for part-time employees. These positions are in local firms, some of which are funeral homes. Upon arrival of the student, the college will make every effort to help the student find part-time employment. These positions can be obtained only upon arrival in the city and cannot be reserved by mail prior to arrival. The college cannot guarantee student employment.

Students are reminded that their primary goal is to complete their education. Thus the college recommends that students pursue their studies for a few weeks to determine their ability to handle the academic load before seeking employment.

Employment Assistance
Employment assistance is available to both graduates and employers seeking to fill positions. Whether a student is seeking employment upon graduation, an ex-student wishes to find new employment, or a firm needs an employee, the college is constantly striving to aid its graduates and the profession in meeting their employment and staffing needs. However, the college cannot guarantee employment.

Through the years many Dallas Institute graduates have assumed positions of responsibility in funeral service and its related industries. Our graduates represent the future of the profession.

Alumni Association
Graduates of the college automatically become members of the College Alumni Association. Its function is to help maintain a close relationship between graduates and the college.

The college endeavors to maintain an accurate record of its graduates, including current addresses and other pertinent information of interest to its members and the college. Alumni are encouraged to keep the college updated on their current addresses.
