Preparing in High School

Take at least 2 full years of algebra and pass with a “C” grade or higher. Submit your transcripts with grades earned.

• Apply for admission to Delta and consider enrolling in courses while still in high school through the College Early Start Program.

• http://www.deltacollege.edu/dept/ar/admissi ons/k12college.html

• Prepare for the assessment test which the college uses to place you in reading, math, and writing courses.

California’s Master Plan for

Higher Education

• The Master Plan for Higher Education has guided

California public higher education for the past four decades.

• The Plan includes the proviso that students can complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree program at a community college and, if they meet certain requirements, be admitted to any UC or CSU campus.

• Today, more than ever, we are committed to helping students transfer to a 4-year university and realize their dreams to achieve a higher education.

Consider attending Delta College if you:

-

• Have not decided on an academic or career goal

• Have not met requirements for freshman admission

• Are not ready to leave home

• Want the affordability of a community college

• Want additional academic preparation or time to explore an academic and career field.

Interested in transferring? Then you should know…

• Approx. 60% of students attending a CSU are transfer students.

For the Fall 2007 term, UC admitted 90% of all CCC students that applied.

• CSU Stanislaus, CSU

Sacramento, UC Davis, and

Pacific receive the largest number of transfer students from

Delta.

• Delta students are enrolled at every CSU and UC campus.

• CCC transfers have the highest priority for admission than any other group.

• Lower division prep at a CCC is comparable to lower division prep at a CSU/UC

• Students who attend a community college will save a significant amount of money on tuition and housing.

• Community college transfer students who attain the Bachelor’s degree are employed at the same rate as students who enrolled in a

4-year college as freshman.

• Earnings of community college transfers and native 4-year students with a Bachelor’s degree are comparable.

Preparing for Delta College and beyond

• Develop a student education plan

(SEP)

• Meet with a counselor at least once a semester to discuss your goals and to make any changes to your plan.

• Take English and math courses as soon as you begin your college studies.

• Select a major and complete as many major preparation courses as possible.
