Current Students

If you have enrolled in Delta courses in the past two semesters,  skip to step 3.

New & Returning Students

If you are new to Delta or have not enrolled in courses in the past two consecutive semesters, apply (or reapply) for Admission early to ensure you can register for classes! 

The basic steps to complete and submit an application are:

1. 1. Create an OpenCCC Account If you don’t already have one.
   2. Sign-in to your OpenCCC Account and start an application.
      (If you do not remember your username and password, select “Forgot” or contact support at 877-247-4836 or email at support@openccc.net)
   3. Submit the San Joaquin Delta College Application Login-in and be sure your application is submitted.

Note: Do not use your school email when applying. Use a gmail or yahoo account. You will need access to the email you use after graduating high school.

Please note that you’ll receive two confirmation numbers. If you do not receive the email with your Delta ID within one week, please contact CollegeEarlyStart@deltacollege.edu

How-to Video: Admissions Process

After submitting your Delta Admission Application, you will receive a “Welcome to Delta” email at the email address you used on the application. The welcome email will include your Delta College student ID number.

If you do not receive the email with your Delta ID within one week, please contact CollegeEarlyStart@deltacollege.edu. Please include a screen shot of your application’s confirmation message to help us it track down.

Before you can enroll in Delta courses, you must complete the College Early Start (CES) form. You must submit a CES form every term in order to be cleared to take Delta courses for that specific term.

Skip this step if you do not plan to enroll in ENGL C1000, STAT C1000, or other courses with a prerequisite.

To enroll in ENG C1000 (aka ENG 1A) or STAT C1000 (aka STATS 12), you must submit a level clearance request after your DEP/CES form has been processed.

• • Submit ENGL C1000 or STAT C1000 Clearance Request
    You will be notified via email once your request is approved.

Note:

Other courses, such as ECON 5, MATH 38A/B, and ASTRO 1, have prerequisites that require you to submit your transcripts to Delta’s Admissions & Records Office admissions-followup@deltacollege.edu for clearance. See FAQ #10 for more information.

Registration is conducted online only.

Unless you have an earlier appointment, open registration for spring 2027 begins October 26.

• You may register for classes on or after your scheduled registration date and time, not before.
• Past fees and/or Administrative and Academic Holds must be cleared prior to registration.

If you need assistance while registering for classes, click on the Live Help icon within Online Registration in your MyDelta portal or connect with the chat at the bottom right corner of the Delta page. You may also contact us via email (see below).

If your class is fully online, you will access it in Canvas, Delta College’s online learning system.

To get started:

• Log in to Canvas on the first day of class. Check in daily and stay on top of deadlines. See FAQ #21 for Canvas login instructions.
• Check your Delta student email regularly for messages from Delta College and your instructors. See FAQ #2 for help finding your Delta email.
• Review FAQ #21 through #31 for information about getting started with your Canvas classes.
• Once your course opens in Canvas, check the syllabus for required textbooks and supplies. Delta College waives tuition and fees for high school students, but College Early Start students are responsible for textbooks and any required classroom materials.
