Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Department of Public Safety operates the college's lost and found area. If you lose something, contact Public Safety. If you find something, please turn it in to Public Safety. They will attempt to locate the owner.
Faculty or staff members should take the appropriate actions outlined in the Delta College Procedures Manual, under Disruptive Student.
Yes. Adjunct faculty grants are intended to support adjuncts' continued professional development.
Yes. An adjunct instructor must present their Delta College photo ID card to Public Safety in N102 and sign the checkout sheet in order to borrow one of the available keys. The borrowed key will only unlock the back door and the door will automatically lock when closed. Do not prop the door open. All lights and electrical equipment must be turned off before leaving the office.
There is a one-day limit on key checkout, and the key must be returned to Public Safety prior to the adjunct instructor leaving the building for the day. When the key is returned to Public Safety, the staff acknowledges that the key has been returned by initialing the checkout sheet.
Adjunct faculty are eligible to purchase a reserved parking gate card for the east or west gated lots from the Cashier's Office. Evening-only gate cards are also available. East and west gate cards are not interchangeable.
Another option is to purchase a hanging permit for the designated hanging reserved parking sites in the east or west parking lots. The reserved parking spaces are fully sold out each year, so you may request to be placed on a wait list. Contact the Cashier's Office, B110, at extension 9394 for more information.
In an effort to improve our tracking system for keys, we are implementing procedures that allow us to issue classroom master keys to adjunct faculty. The classroom master key works with most classrooms on the main campus. By having keys inventoried and signed for each semester, this process will help cut down on the number of keys that are made and issued, saving the college time and money.
A key issue and return form needs to be completed with your associate dean or designee if you wish to have a classroom master key. The key is on loan for one semester only and must be inventoried and signed for each semester. You will receive a notice from your associate dean every semester, reminding you it is time to present your key(s) for inventory and initial and date the key issue and return form in order to retain your key(s). At the end of employment, the entire inventory of keys issued to an adjunct faculty member must be returned to the associate dean or designee.
If you find a room inadequate or inappropriate for your instructional needs, you may request a room change. We ask that you do not move into a seemingly empty room. All room change requests should be submitted through the room change request form.
The goal of the Student Support System (SSS) is to identify and effectively intervene with students who are exhibiting at-risk behaviors by providing strategies, support, and resources to improve course success and overall retention of students.

When considering referring a student to Delta’s counseling office, please note, except in the case of an emergency, the decision to seek counseling services rests solely with the student.
