   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)

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. It will be routed to your parent and high school official’s designee to sign, electronically, upon your submitting it.

Note: You will need to enter the name and email addresses of a school official’s designee (typically a counselor or Principal).

1. 1. Look up your School’s Contact Information!
   2. Submit College Early Start form (for high school students)

Note: If you attend an adult education school, submit SB-554 College Early Start form

We will notify your counselor as soon as your CES form has been processed.

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

If you wish to enroll in English 1A or Math 12, 13 or 20, 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
  • Request to be cleared for Math 12, Math 13, or Math 20

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.
