Delaware County Community College offers new, re-admit, and current students multiple ways to complete the Enrollment Steps and register for classes, both on campus and virtually.
Open Dual Enrollment students (i.e., current high school students taking college courses independently of your high school and not as part of the College in the High School or Pathway programs), should visit dccc.edu/dualenrollment.
Visiting students (individuals who are matriculated at another college or university and who wish to enroll at DCCC for courses that will transfer back to their current institution) should visit dccc.edu/visiting.
New, Re-Admit, and Current Student Enrollment Steps
Apply Online
New students and re-admits (i.e., students who have not enrolled in one year or more) need to complete an admissions application to start the process. New students who wish to participate in a Drop-in Registration event are encouraged to apply (Step 1) and complete the mandatory Online Orientation (Step 4) prior to participating.
