Registration dates

Registration is open for Fall 2025, Winter 2026 and Spring 2026 

Priority Registration

Registration works on a rolling basis with students who have the most credits going first. It's called priority registration. After the priority registration time period ends, registration is open to everyone.

Your registration priority for Fall 2026, Winter 2027 and Spring 2027 will be based on the credits you have earned, including any credits in progress on your Winter 2026 schedule. Priority registration will be determined during Winter 2026 and will be emailed to your Delta email. Register anytime, at or after your scheduled time. Open registration for students who have not been assigned a registration priority, or have no Delta credits, begins after priority registration ends.

Transfer students

You may count up to 38 transfer credits once credits are earned (recorded to your record) at Delta. All transfer credits must be evaluated and posted to your Delta academic record no later than three weeks prior to the start of Priority Registration to ensure proper day/time assignment.

Returning students

If you have not attended within the last two years or applied within the last year, you must reapply through the Admissions Office no later than three weeks prior to the start of priority registration, to ensure proper day/time assignment.

Waitlists

Check your waitlists daily. Waitlists stop running two days before the start date of each section. Instructor permission is required once a class begins and can only be granted through the end of the refund period for the class.

Residency

Costs at Delta are shared by the students, the taxpayers in Delta College's district and the State of Michigan. Property taxes paid by residents of Bay, Midland and Saginaw counties supplement student tuition and state aid for in-district status students. That is why in-district students' tuition is the lowest. Determine if you qualify for in-district tuition.
