Diné College is a two-year, tribally controlled community college, serving the 27,000-square-mile (70,000 km2) Navajo Nation. Current enrollment is 1,830 students, of which 210 are degree-seeking transfer students for four-year institutions. Scholarships are available through the American Indian College Fund (AICF). Due to the low student-faculty ratio, personalized instruction is guaranteed to each student.
The main campus of Diné College is in Tsaile, Arizona, an unincorporated community in Apache County, Arizona. There are also seven branches of Diné College on the reservation in Arizona (three in Apache County (Chinle, Ganado, and Window Rock), one in Coconino County (Tuba City), and one in Navajo County (Kayenta) and New Mexico (one in McKinley County (Crownpoint) and one in San Juan County (Shiprock)).
The main Tsaile campus includes eight fifteen-room dormitories housing about 150 students: each octagonally shaped unit has a fireplace in the center, and is described by the college as a "hooghan away from hogan"—a reference to the traditional Navajo hogan dwelling.
The residence life office is in Ch'ó (Spruce) Hall. Residence halls include:
Co-ed:
Female only:
Male only:
Family housing:
Residents of family housing are zoned to the Chinle Unified School District. Tsaile Elementary School is in proximity to the university. All Chinle USD residents are assigned to Chinle High School.
