complete registration. Payment may be made by check, cash, MasterCard,
VISA, or Discover, with a tuition payment plan, or with approved
financial aid or sponsor authorization. When you register for a class, a

that seat. If your payment is not sufficient or subsequently adjusted for
changes in financial aid or sponsor authorization, Delta College reserves
the right to drop you for non-payment or submit your unpaid student
account balance to legal collection process.You will be responsible to pay
any collection and attorney fees resulting from legal collection process.
Tuition is assessed by credit based on your residency status. The percredit
tuition rate for each semester is published in the Course Guide
booklet and is subject to change without prior notice by action of the
Board of Trustees.
Fees are charged for specific courses, and are subject to change without
prior notice.

a grant reducing the amount of tuition due by 50%. The grant does
not apply to fees (registration, technology, contact hour, course, etc.),
books, supplies, trip costs, or other special fees. The College reserves
the right to exempt certain courses or programs from grant eligibility.
To be eligible for the Senior Citizen Grant Program, you must have a
Delta College identification number. The identification number is issued
by the Enrollment Services Office after completing a brief application
form, which requires proof of age

is not charged to non-credit students.

Offset
During the 12th through the 25th day from the official start date listed
in the schedule, students are permitted to offset equal credits and course
fees within the same academic discipline (for example, switching from
one ENG course to another ENG course, but not from an ENG course
to a MTH course) with the written recommendation of their instructors
through the add/drop procedure. For credits or fees added in excess of
credits dropped, additional tuition and fees must be paid. During this
period, grades of “W” will not be assigned to courses dropped through
the offset process. Offset cannot be done between sessions (for example,
dropping an ENG course during the first 7 1/2 week session and adding
an ENG course during the second 7 1/2 week session or dropping a MTH
course during the Spring 7 week session and adding a MTH course
during the Summer 7 week session).

For students receiving Federal financial aid, funds are returned to programs
according to Federal guidelines. Funds are returned in order to
Federal Loan Programs, Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, and to other
Title IV aid programs.
Students receiving Federal aid who withdraw completely, see Financial
Aid for details of the Return of Funds policy that is in place for all recipients
of Federal financial aid.
