Dallas College — North Lake Campus

North Lake is in Irving, northwest of Dallas, on a campus that pairs academic buildings and athletic facilities with a DART light-rail station. Dallas College’s student pass provides free DART travel under the published program terms, and Routes 229 and 231 connect the site with Irving, Carrollton and regional transit hubs. The printable campus map marks the rail station, parking, admissions, financial aid, counseling and food pantry. A second North Lake location, the Irving Center, is at 1081 W. Shady Grove Road and focuses on community classes and support rather than duplicating the main campus.

North Lake stands out for the meeting of media, transportation and construction skills. Its areas include video technology, automotive and auto-body work, logistics and mortgage banking; Dallas College also identifies a 60,000-square-foot construction-trades facility. Students can explore sustainability studies and use a campus food pantry and student store. The catalog gives the credit requirement and length for each certificate or degree; for instance, the campus describes mortgage banking as a two-year training course, while other credentials follow different schedules.

The location is useful for students balancing a commute with hands-on training: DART’s station is on campus, and the college map shows where labs and student offices sit in relation to it. Athletics include basketball and baseball, while student services include tutoring, computer labs and counseling. The student pass is an institutional benefit whose eligibility and current terms should be checked, not assumed for every course or visitor. For class days, confirm whether your section meets at North Lake, the Irving Center or online.

North Lake’s address is 5001 N. MacArthur Boulevard, Irving, and its main phone is 972-273-3000. The college’s location pages present it as a key site for technical education and applied business programs within the seven-campus network. Students can compare it with Cedar Valley’s manufacturing and supply-chain courses or Eastfield’s mechatronics and automotive work. Checking the catalog, campus map and schedule together will show whether the desired credential can be completed here and what transportation the timetable requires.
