HELPFUL HINTS FOR REGISTRATION:

• Students must be admitted to the College and have met the assessment test requirements prior to registration. Students who have not attended for more than one term, including summer, fall, & spring, must reapply for admission during the open application periods to be considered eligible for registration. A registration appointment is required to use Internet registration except during open enrollment and after the term has begun.

• To obtain a registration date and time, access the Internet at www.deltacollege.edu. and follow the steps listed for Online Registration.

• To protect confidentiality, it is best that each student conduct his/her own registration, review the information on "Protecting Your Records," and create a Personal Identification Number (PIN).

• Use any computer with Internet capability to access the Internet registration system. San Joaquin Delta College’s Internet address is: www.deltacollege.edu. Computers are available in the E-Services Lab located in the DeRicco Student Services Building.

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

• It is the student's responsibility to provide documentation (official transcripts) to show proof of having met a course prerequisite for all prerequisite courses taken at another school within the United States. To avoids delays in registering for class/es, transcripts must be submitted well in advance of the student's registration date and time.

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

• 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 to a maximum of 12 for the Summer term and 24 for the Fall and Spring terms.

• The Internet registration system is busy, the best times to access the system 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 date and time has passed, courses can be ADDED or DROPPED as often as necessary while the registration is open and available.

• After registration has been completed, an e-mail will be sent prior to the opening day of the term reminding students to log in to Online Registration in order to view/print their class schedule. Fee billing and financial aid information is also e-mailed.
It is important to check your Delta student 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.

The student must attend the class and be present to be moved from the Wait List into official enrollment. Wait List placement does not constitute official enrollment. Frees are assessed and payable at the time the student is moved into full enrollment. A student on a Wait List with an administrative hold that prohibits registration or a student who is absent from class will be dropped from the Wait List.

Wait List During Registration

To be placed on the Wait List for a full class, the student must attempt to enroll in the class during Registration and accept the offer of Wait list assignment or click the "Add to Wait List" option in the Open Class List.

The instructor admits students to the class based upon their position on the waiting list at the close of Registration. To be moved from the Wait List, the student must attend class 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 lists, or all waiting list students have been admitted, then the instructor may admit other students who show up at the first class meeting.

Wait List Add Procedure

A student who places himself/herself on the Wait List after the class begins is admitted only with permission of the instructor. The student must attend the class and be present to be considered for movement from the Wait List.

HOW TO ADD A COURSE:
