What do I do after applying?

Applications are processed daily. It may take anywhere from a few hours to up to one (1) week to process your application and get your student ID number and Delta College email/login set up.

You will receive several emails during the processing of your application. Read on for more details and the steps you need to take.

After completing AND submitting your application for admission, you will receive a "Welcome to Delta" email from admissions@cccapply.org. You will receive this email at the email address you used on the application. Please keep this email for your records. Remember, it will still take anywhere from a few hours to up to one (1) week to process your application so that you can register for classes.
Once your application has been processed by Delta College, you will receive a "Welcome to Delta College - Important information for New Students" email from "ADMISSIONS@deltacollege.edu" with your student ID number and your Delta College email address. You can now use this information to log in to the MyDelta Dashboard, where you can access a wide range of Delta College programs and services. If you do not receive this welcome email within one (1) week of applying, please contact Admissions & Records through live chat or by email at ar-applicationissue@deltacollege.edu.

How can I log in once my application has been processed?

NOTE: You can only complete this step if you have received the "Welcome to Delta College - Important information for New Students" email from "ADMISSIONS@deltacollege.edu". If you have not received this email please check your email spam/junk box on the personal email account that you used to fill out your admission application. This email will take anywhere from a few hours to up to one (1) week to arrive. If it has been over a week since you submitted your application, please contact Admissions & Records via email at ar-applicationissue@deltacollege.edu or via LiveChat.

Activate your MyDelta Dashboard login

In order to access class registration, your Delta email, and other features, you will need to activate our single sign-on service called MyDelta Dashboard.

To log into MyDelta Dashboard for the first time, click here: MyDelta Dashboard.

MyDelta Dashboard

Enter your Delta student email address (@mustangs.deltacollege.edu) and choose “Reset via Email." A link will be sent to the email address you used in your application for admission. Click on the link and follow the steps for creating your account (including picking a strong password, adding a recovery phone number and selecting a security image).

After you have set up your password, log into your MyDelta Dashboard. You'll see many squares or "tiles" on your dashboard. To access class registration, transcripts, financial aid and much more, click on the "MyDelta" tile. You can also access your Delta email by clicking on the "Microsoft Office 365 Mail" tile. We encourage you to explore the dashboard and become familiar with the many things that you can do here.

MyDelta E-mail (both via MyDelta Dashboard)

I tried to reset my password in MyDelta Dashboard, but got a message that it needs to be reset by an administrator. What should I do?

If you applied to Delta College sometime before April 22, 2023, and received an email with the subject: "San Joaquin Delta College - Welcome to Okta!" email instead and never set your password by clicking the "Activate Okta Account," you will need to have your MyDelta Dashboard account reset by using Live Chat during normal business hours. While you may be able to log into MyDelta using the instructions provided in the email, you will not be able to log into other services like class scheduler, Canvas, email, etc. until you set your MyDelta Dashboard password.

Can I attend Delta if I am an undocumented/Dreamer/AB 540 student?

Yes, you can attend Delta College, and we welcome you here! Follow the steps for an undocumented student to apply and enroll at Delta College. After you have submitted your application, visit the Admissions & Records office to inquire about eligibility for California Nonresident Tuition Exemption and establishing residency.
