All CNA applicants MUST be enrolled as a current Delta College Student and know your Delta College ID Number and email address in order to submit an application to the CNA Program. To be current as a Delta College student, an "active application" must be on file with Delta College Admissions and Records. If you have not attended Delta College for two or more semesters, then you do not have an "active application" and must reapply to Delta College. Any student who does not have an "active application" on file prior to the online application opening date will be unable to submit an application to the CNA program.

We understand that the application process for the Nursing Assistant Training Program can be highly competitive and commend the dedication of our applicants. To encourage those who show consistent interest and perseverance, students will automatically be considered for admission to the program on their third application." - Lisa Lucchesi, Dean
