to registering for classes. Individual assessment also may be recommended.
5. Dual Enrolled/Fast Track Students: If you plan to enroll in Delta
courses and in high school courses during the same semester, you
need to submit a Dual Enrollment Application for each semester in
which you intend to enroll. This application, available at your high
school, needs to be signed by your parent and high school counselor
or principal. Request that your high school send a current copy of
your transcript to the Admissions Office.

attend junior high or high school or are home schooled you may be

program is provided to supplement your educational plans and to
afford educational enrichment in courses and academic areas not
available in the student’s school or home school setting. You will
need to submit a Dual Enrollment Application. The application will
need to be signed by your parent and high school counselor or principal
(only parent if home schooled). The parent or legal guardian is
responsible for all fees, tuition and transportation. You will need to

exam will be administered to determine your eligibility.

social skills appropriate for college-level coursework you may be admitted

need to submit a completed Dual Enrollment Application at least 30
days prior to the beginning of the anticipated semester of enrollment.

parent (if you are home schooled) must accompany the application.

for proper course placement. A College committee will interview you
(accompanied by a parent or guardian) to determine your eligibility
for the course and will make a recommendation to the Director of
Admissions.

resident and you are requesting an I-20 form, you need to complete

Acceptance and Evaluation of Transfer Credits
From Other Institutions, Training Programs or
Examination Programs
1. Only official transcripts will be evaluated. Delta College will accept
as official transcripts only incoming transcripts that have appropriate
signatures and seals and have been sent directly to the College from
an issuing institution. Transcripts in the possession of the student
or copies of transcripts or grade reports may be used for academic
advising or counseling, but no transfer credits will be posted to the
Delta College academic transcript from these documents.
2. Official transcripts should be mailed to the Delta College Registrar’s
Office from the transfer institution. Transcripts received from a
Michigan college or university at least one month prior to a registration
period will generally be evaluated within two weeks of receipt.
More time may be necessary to evaluate transcripts from out-of-state
institutions.
3. Credits only, not grades, are accepted in transfer. Grades earned at
another school in courses accepted by Delta College are not entered
on the permanent Delta academic transcript or calculated in the Delta
College cumulative grade point average.
4. A maximum of 38 credits acquired through transfer, training or
examination programs may be used toward registration priority.
5. The credit value of each course accepted in transfer will be determined
by Delta College; the number of credits will never be greater than the
Delta College equivalent course, but the number granted may be fewer
than the number of credits received at the transfer institution.
6. Transfer credit granted will be shown on the student’s permanent
academic transcript.
A. Regionally Accredited Institutions
Course work completed at a college or university accredited by one of
the eight *Regional Accrediting Associations of Colleges and Schools (See
below) will be considered according to the following guidelines:
1. Equivalent Course Work
Freshman and sophomore level courses are accepted in transfer.
Higher level credits are accepted if they correspond to a specific
course at Delta College. If Delta College does not have a department
or area similar to the courses on the incoming transcripts,
no credit will be awarded. Academic credit will not be granted
for courses below the 100 level. A minimum of a “C” (2.0) grade
on a 4.0 scale is required in each course for transfer.
2. Non-Equivalent Course Work
“General Elective” credit will be granted for courses completed
with a grade of “C” (2.0) or above on a 4.0 scale that are not
equivalent to Delta College courses or disciplines. “General Elective”
credit applicable to Humanities, Social Science, Science, or
Lab Science will be so noted on the student's Delta transcript.
(A student must request that a counselor submit the necessary
form to receive this credit).
