Set Up Delta Account

Once you've applied and have been admitted at Delta, you'll need to set up your Delta College account. But what is your Delta account? How does it differ from your application account? What can you access with it? And most importantly, how do you set it up? Check out the answers to all of these questions below.

What is the difference between my Application account and delta account?

When you applied to Delta College you used a personal email address and password that you can use to access that application at any time. However, that is not the same username and password that you'll use to access all of your Delta College information. You'll receive that information 4 hours after you've been admitted. So what's the difference between your application account and your Delta College account?

Delta Email

Once you're a Delta student, your Delta College email will be extremely important. While the Admissions office will send your next steps to your personal email account, all of the other offices and instructors will be sending messages to your Delta email. It is so important that you check this often so you don't miss any important information or deadlines.

Pro Tip: Set up the Microsoft Outlook app on your phone or mobile device so you get notifications right at your fingertips.

How do I set up my Delta Account?

Once you've been admitted to Delta College and have received your account creation link from accounts@delta.edu, you're ready to set up your Delta account and Multifactor Authentication (MFA). 


What is Multifactor Authentication?

Multifactor Authentication or MFA is an extra level of security that protects your Delta account. There are four different ways to confirm your identity:

  • App – receive a push notification to the Microsoft Authenticator app
  • Phone – receive a phone call and hit the pound sign to confirm it’s you
  • Text – receive a six-digit code in a text message
  • Email – receive a six-digit code in an email to a non-Delta email address


Do I have to set up mfa?

Yes, all students and staff members of Delta College have to set up MFA. It's in place to protect you and your information.

If you're having issues setting up MFA, contact the Help Desk at 989-686-9575 or help@delta.edu for assistance.


How do i reset my delta password?

Your Delta account password will expire every year. If you need to reset your password before it expires, you can always do so using Delta's password management page. Note that in order to successfully change your password, you'll need to have two different options set up for Multifactor Authentication (MFA).
