NEW ORLEANS — Delgado Community College announced an extended registration period for the Fall 2015 semester.
Registration will continue through Friday, August 21, 2015, instead of ending on Tuesday, August 18. Students will have an additional three days to be admitted to the college and register for classes.
“We want to make certain that everyone who makes the decision to be with us as a student this fall has enough time to complete the registration process and get started on achieving their goals,” said Delgado Chancellor Joan Y. Davis.
Admission to Delgado is non-competitive, making higher education accessible to anyone with a high school diploma or the equivalent.
Working students have the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree in two years by taking only weekend classes at the Delgado City Park Campus in New Orleans. Enhanced employment opportunities or transfer to a four-year college awaits those who choose this pathway to success.
Delgado offers instruction at nine locations, including the City Park, West Bank (Algiers), Sidney Collier and Charity School of Nursing campuses in New Orleans and locations in Slidell and Metairie.
Founded in 1921, Delgado has the highest enrollment – more than 17,000 in Fall 2014 – among all colleges and universities in New Orleans, and the second highest in Louisiana. As well as offering associate’s degrees and transferable college credits, Delgado provides diplomas and certificates in dozens of professional and technical areas.
Some of Delgado’s largest programs are nursing, business and management, accounting, radiologic technology, criminal justice, computer information technology, culinary arts, teaching grades 1-5 and motor vehicle technology.
Delgado is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The college has held this accreditation since 1971. Individual programs at Delgado are also accredited by industry-specific accrediting agencies.
Workforce development is a priority at Delgado, hence the college’s motto: “Education that works.”
