Your counselor will also provide you with the name(s) and email address(es) of the authorized signatories that you will need to enter in the form for approval and submission to Delta.
Once your CES form is processed (usually 2-3 days), you will be able to enroll, as long as there are no holds or other issues with your Delta account. We will notify you or your counselor if anything is pending.
