• To obtain registration appointment information, call 476-7997 or access the Internet at www.deltacollege.edu.

• To protect confidentiality, it is best that each student conduct his/her own registration.

• Be prepared for registration. A first choice may be full. Therefore, select two or three more sections of the same course before registering.

• All administrative and/or academic holds that prevent enrollment must be cleared prior to registration.

• The registration system will prevent time conflicts, multiple registrations in the same course, and placement on multiple waiting lists.

• Maximum unit enrollment prior to the beginning of the Fall or Spring term is 18 units and Summer is 9 units. Additional units may be added after the term begins.

• During registration, open class lists are available in the Counseling Office, Danner 205, within online registration and via the Internet.

• If the telephone or Internet registration systems are busy, the best times to access the systems are Monday - Thursday 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.

• After a student’s registration appointment has passed, courses can be ADDED or DROPPED as often as necessary while the registration system is available.

• After registration has been completed, e-mails are sent prior to the opening day of the term confirming classes in which the student is currently enrolled and providing fee billing and financial aid information. It is important to check your email at least once a week.

WAITING LISTS:

Waiting lists are maintained for all full classes. The student must be eligible for the class before being placed on the waiting list. This means that the student must have met the class prerequisites and not be in a class which conflicts in time with the one that is being requested. To be placed on the waiting list for a full class, the student must attempt to enroll in the class during registration. The student will be permitted the option of being assigned to a “waiting list” seat unless the wait list is also full. Students cannot be placed on multiple waiting list for the same course.

The instructor admits students to the class based upon their position on the waiting list. The student must also attend class meetings and be present if the instructor accepts additional students from the waiting list. If a student is not present, the instructor admits the next student on the waiting list. If there are no students on the waiting list or all waiting list students have been admitted, then the instructor may admit other students who show up at the first class meeting. (see below)
