What are the transfer requirements for Delta College?

I'm considering transferring to Delta College, but I'm unsure about the requirements. Does anyone know what GPA or coursework is needed to transfer successfully?

Delta College operates on an open admissions policy, which means they focus more on ensuring you can benefit from their programs rather than emphasizing competitive admission requirements. However, there are still certain steps you need to complete for a successful transfer.

1. Application: You'll need to complete the online application. This provides the college with your basic information.

2. Transcripts: You will need to request an official copy of your transcripts from all of the colleges you've previously attended. If you have fewer than 24 transferable credit hours, Delta College may also require your high school transcripts.

3. Coursework: While specific course requirements are not listed for transfer students, demonstrating success in college-level courses (particularly those relevant to your intended program of study) can help ensure you're prepared for coursework at Delta College.

4. Placement Testing: You may need to take placement tests in English and/or Math unless you have already taken comparable courses at another institution, in which case those might fulfill the requirement.

5. Orientation: You'll also likely be expected to participate in an orientation, which can be done online.

Remember that admission does not necessarily mean that all your credits will transfer over for your specific program. After being admitted and submitting all necessary transcripts, you should receive an evaluation showing you what courses have transferred across. If you're planning on transferring to a four-year university after your studies at Delta College, keep your future target university’s requirements in the back of your mind as well to ensure smooth progression.

You should also reach out to Delta College's admissions office directly. They'll be able to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information related to transfer requirements. They can also give you information on the course requirements for your particular major and help facilitate the credit evaluation process.
