Welcome to <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
It was our aim, as we prepared this <strong>catalog</strong>, to provide<br />
you with a tool that will be of help to you throughout the<br />
time you spend with us at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>College</strong> pursuing your<br />
educational goals. We hope you will find it useful, whether<br />
you are a new student, a returning student, or a member of<br />
the community involved in our various outreach activities.<br />
This Table of Contents tells you what is covered in each<br />
section of this <strong>catalog</strong>. If you are looking for a specific<br />
topic, check the Index on page 455, where you should find<br />
that topic listed, along with the page on which you will<br />
find the information. If you come across a term you don’t<br />
understand, check page 447 for Definitions of <strong>College</strong><br />
Terms. If you can't find information important to you or<br />
you find something confusing, stop in at the Admissions<br />
Office, D101, and talk with the staff, or click www.delta.<br />
edu. They will be able to clarify for you or direct you to<br />
the appropriate staff person for an answer, and they will<br />
pass on to us anything you think should be added to or<br />
changed in this <strong>catalog</strong>.<br />
