Delaware County Community College offers new students multiple ways to complete the Enrollment Steps and register for classes, both on-campus and virtually.

The College's enrollment steps are listed below for quick reference:

  STEP 1 | Apply Online
 STEP 2 | Create a Plan to Fund Your Education
 STEP 3 | Have Course Placement Determined
 STEP 4 | Login to delaGATE & Complete New Student Orientation
 STEP 5 | Academic Advising & Course Selection
 STEP 6 | Pay Your Bill & Get Ready!
 

New students are invited to complete Steps 1-4 as soon as possible. Steps 1, 2, and 4 can be completed any time.  Steps 3 and 5 can be completed by appointment or during a Drop-in Registration Event (see details below). 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. 

For the best academic advising experience (Step 5), new students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor after completing Steps 1 through 4.  

Current students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with their assigned academic advisor for advising. Assigned advisors can be located in Degree Works.  If your assigned advisor is unavailable, please schedule an appointment with an advisor in Career and Counseling Services.  Current students who already received advising are encouraged to self-register when adding or changing classes. 

Open dual enrollment students (i.e., current high school students taking college courses independently of your high school and not as part of College in the High School or Pathway programs), should schedule an academic advising appointment with an educational advisor after completing Steps 1 through 4.  For more information on high school dual enrollment, visit dccc.edu/DualEnrollment.

Please Note: Students need to complete the FAFSA for every academic year that begins in August and are encouraged to do so as early as possible, but no later than May 1. Financial aid assistance is available on Drop-in Registration Days and during regular business hours.  Visit dccc.edu/FinancialAid for more information.

All of the following services are available virtually: applying for admission (Step 1), applying for financial aid (Step 2), course placement (Step 3), new student orientation (Step 4), academic advising (Step 5), and paying your bill (Step 6).  For assistance with accessing these services virtually, please call 610-723-2000.
