Delta’s Dual Enrollment Program (DEP) offers college courses at over 30 high schools in the district’s region. The Program allows high school students to get a jump start on their college education by taking college courses while still in high school.
Dual enrollment is a form of College Early Start. Unlike Dual Enrollment, where students take courses on their high school campus, with College Early Start students take courses at the Delta Stockton campus and other satellite locations for college credit only. Each school district must determine whether high school credit will be granted for classes completed for college credit at Delta College.
