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. Summer and fall clearance may be done at the same time; however, spring term CES forms must be submitted separately.

Once you complete the CES form,  it will be routed to your parent and then to your high school official’s designee to sign electronically.

Skip this step if you are not enrolling in ENG or Math courses.

If you wish to enroll in English or Math, you must request that the Placement Center clear your level.

Please wait until your CES form is processed prior to submitting your request.

• • Request to be cleared for English 1A or STATS/Math

You will be notified via email once you are cleared.

Registration is conducted online only.

• • 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.
