COACHING BEGINS NEXT WEEK (the week of January 8th)!!
The new session of adult education classes begins on January 15th. Remember that attendance in the first week is mandatory.
College classes for Spring 2018 begin on January 16th (unless you're in Saturday classes, which start on January 13th).
ACE College Jumpstart Next Wednesday!
Start your semester off strong! Join us for an action-packed hour in which we'll teach you tricks for using the online tools that every Delgado student is required to know. We'll help you master your DCC email (for communications), LoLA (for class registration, financial aid, checking grades, etc), and Canvas (your online classroom).
We'll go beyond the basics to show you how to get the most out of these tools. And we'll show you how to use a few optional tools (like Google Inbox and online/phone calendars) to stay organized and on top of your game!
This session is optional, but we HIGHLY recommend it for all ACE students who will be taking college classes next session. Certification students are welcome too, though you won't have personal access to the Delgado college tools yet.
The sessions will be held 9-10 A.M. and 5:30-6:30 P.M. in Building 7, Room 176. Please RSVP to Natalie at aceprogram@dcc.edu.
For College Success...
Step Up Your Computer Skills!
As a student, you'll need to access to a computer and to the internet at least occasionally. Click here for tips on affordable internet service or finding a computer at a library near you. If you want to step up your computer skills, we've got that too. Click here for a variety of ways to build your skills.
Have you secured your financial aid for 2018-2019? Now's the time!
The 2018-2019 FAFSA is ready. The sooner you submit your FAFSA, the more aid you're eligible to receive. Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete you new FAFSA.
Remember: There will be a question that says something like, “At the time you begin school, which of the following will you have? High school diploma / High school equivalency / Home school diploma / None of the above” You MUST select “None of the above” if you do not already have your high school equivalency or diploma.
