Delgado Offers Shorter Terms, Free Application for Summer Classes

May 25, 2020

Delgado Community College, always a smart choice for students and families choosing an accredited, affordable higher education institution, announces several innovations and benefits for students this summer:

No application fee. There is no application fee to become a Delgado student. The college has not charged an application fee for more than five years, and continues to offer this service at no cost to students.

Non-residents pay same tuition as residents. Out-of-state residents enrolled in online classes at Delgado pay the same tuition as Louisiana residents. There is no financial penalty for residents of other states to earn credits and credentials online at Delgado.

Shorter terms enable faster completion. In addition to its traditional eight-week Summer Session, Delgado offers two four-week Summer Minimesters.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Delgado instructors will use video conferencing, online chats, and other Internet-based features to interact with and instruct students this summer.  

This is an opportunity for students and families to save money during this time of uncertainty. Classes at four-year universities are more expensive than community colleges on average by more than one-third, according to the American Association of Community Colleges. Delgado credits transfer to all four-year state universities in Louisiana, including LSU, SUNO, UNO, and UL. Most other universities in Louisiana, including Tulane, Xavier, and Loyola, have transfer agreements with Delgado.
