Baseball

The Mustangs compete in the Big 8 conference, which is arguably the best in California. Six teams in the conference have recently won a State Championship. With a FieldTurf synthetic surface, 300 stadium seats, 80’ dugouts, and full plyo wall, Nick Cecchetti Field is among the finest facilities in junior college baseball. Since 2008, the San Joaquin Delta College baseball program has established itself as one of the best junior college programs in the nation. It currently has produced the most NCAA Division Players of any JC in the country. Delta has been to seven of the last ten California Community College Final Fours. The trips included two State Championships in 2011 and 2018 and three State Runner Up finishes in 2009, 2014 and 2015. Delta has been in the Perfect Game National Rankings eight times, produced 30 professional players, and over 100 NCAA division 1 transfers, and 16 All Americans.

Basketball (Men)

Men’s basketball has made eleven appearances in the Sweet 16, four appearances in the Elite Eight, two in the Final  Four, and earned nine conference championships over the past 20 seasons. More importantly, well over 150 players have come through the program.

In 2022 the Mustangs were Big 8 Champions once again, finished with a 33-3 record, and advanced to the State Championship Game. The most important statistic is the 97% graduation rate since 1997. Participants in this elite program improve skills academically and athletically and have the opportunity to earn scholarships. Over 90 athletes have earned basketball scholarships and transferred to a four-year university to continue their playing careers.

Beach Volleyball (Women)

Building off the strength of their indoor volleyball program, Delta College began competing in beach volleyball in the Spring 2018.

In 2013, 2015, and 2019.  In 2021 the women’s teams qualified for the state meet finishing 12th. In the same year the women captured the Big 8 championship team title for the first time in 20 years. Both men and women had individual Big 8 champions as well. The coaching staff and the athletes are very excited about their recent victories and look forward to more of the same in the upcoming seasons. 

Football

The program continues to grow and compete on the national level and looks forward to seeing what the recruiting class of 2022 will bring to the field. The Delta region has a wealth of players feeding into the college’s soccer program. Many players have gone on to play at the Division I, II, and III levels, with several going on to compete at the professional level. Delta’s soccer program unites a diverse population of players with varying skills and backgrounds to compete each season. The team is a powerful soccer program in the Big 8 Conference, winning their first ever conference championship in 2018.

During both the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the team finished in the Final Four in the CCCAA State Championships. In 2019, the team set numerous program bests including most wins (23) and a 7th place ranking in the final National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll. The area is rich in soccer talent and Coach Sorenson has built strong partnerships with coaches and programs in the greater central valley  to build a powerful soccer program. Delta is the only California community college to appear in the top 10 United Soccer Coaches Association final national ranking in the last three consecutive seasons. Since Sorenson took over the program in fall of 2010, the team has qualified for the post-season every season from 2011 to the present. In fall 2016, the program opened a state of the art soccer only turf complex, and from that season forward has gone deep into the post season with four State Elite 8 appearances, back to back Final 4 appearances, and back to back Big 8 Conference Championship titles, including winning the first inaugural Big 8 Conference tournament in 2021. Many of the women have received athletic scholarships to play at Division I and Division II schools, including Fresno State University, San Diego State University, New Mexico State University, Cal State Stanislaus, San Francisco State and many others.

San Joaquin Delta College police officers are sworn peace officers of the State of California and are vested with full law enforcement powers and responsibilities. They meet the selection and training requirements set forth by the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training under State of California Penal Code Section 13510(a).

In addition, the Police Department is staffed by non-sworn P.O.S.T certified dispatchers, campus safety officers, and student officers.

Crime Prevention and Crime Reporting

Crime Prevention

Crime Prevention is student and employee awareness of their environment and a true collaboration between law enforcement and the public. It is the willingness to look out for one another and to report suspicious activities immediately to the San Joaquin Delta College Police Department. Students and employees must be aware of their surroundings and develop a perception of what seems out of place, or out of the ordinary. Do not take chances, what may appear harmless could be serious. Fortunately, the right attitude, actions and awareness can help protect you and your belongings.

Crime Reporting

The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department prides itself on being community oriented in its crime prevention strategies. The most beneficial way of preventing crime is through the tips and watchful eye of an informed public. The following is how to report a crime on campus:

  1. Initiate a text conversation with the Police Department through the Rave Mobile Guardian app.
  2. Call the Police Department by using an Emergency Blue Phone or any campus phone and dial 911 or 5000 or call (209) 954-5000 by cellular phone or off campus phone.
  3. Provide the dispatcher with what happened, where did it happen, and when did it happen
  4. Provide the dispatcher with suspect information and description
  5. Advise if a weapon was used or displayed
  6. Location of the suspect or direction of flight
  7. Advise if the suspect drove a car or bicycle or was on foot
  8. Advise if there are any injuries
  9. Stay on the phone until the dispatcher ends the call

It is extremely important that you give the dispatcher as much information as possible. The dispatcher relays all of your information to the police officers who are “out in the field” responding to your call. It is imperative for the safety of the officers that you put as much detail into your report as possible, so they know exactly what they are responding to. Your assistance is always appreciated. The information that you provide assists in keeping San Joaquin Delta College a beautiful and safe environment for all.

Education

One of the essential ingredients of any successful crime prevention program is an informed public. It is the intent of San Joaquin Delta College Police Department to inform students and staff, in a timely manner, of any criminal activity or security problems which may pose a reasonable threat to their physical safety. Such information will regularly be published and distributed to students, faculty and staff through several campus publications, in house memos or through the Mustang Alert! system. Another critical element of a campus safety program is education. The Police Department, in conjunction with the Student Activities Office and the Department of Counseling, sponsor programs of various topics. The Police Department’s crime prevention officer is available to speak at public events regarding crime prevention, or other topics as requested.

Safety Presentations

The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department provides informative safety presentations to all members of the Delta College community. The presentations range in time from 30 minutes to 80 minutes and can be modified to address a specific topic. Some of the most popular presentations we have done are “Surviving an Active Shooter Event”, “Police Department Services”, “Crime Prevention and Awareness”, and “Identity Theft”. Presentations are conducted year-round upon request.

Victims of Crime

Students who are victims of a crime, or witness a crime being committed should contact the San Joaquin Delta College Police Department as soon as possible. Time is essential when a crime has been committed or suspicious activity is occurring. The sooner the police are notified, the quicker the response will be. Persons who believe that a crime may be occurring, or who are suspicious that something may be wrong, should contact the Police Department immediately at (209) 954-5000 (Voice/TDD). The Police Department would rather respond to an innocent situation than be notified after an actual crime has been committed. Always be on the safe side and call.

Emergency Notifications

The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department utilizes Mustang Alert! powered by Rave Mobile Safety, to provide students, staff, faculty, and visitors with Clery Timely Warnings and emergency notifications. Mustang Alert! utilizes text messaging, email, social media, loudspeaker, and the Rave Mobile Guardian app to convey crucial safety messaging. At the beginning of each semester, and during fire drills, Mustang Alert! is tested to ensure functionality.

Lockouts

The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department “Lock-out” services are available at no cost to vehicle owners who are locked out of their vehicles while parked on District property.

Burke Veterans Resource Center (VRC) provides student military affiliates (veterans, service members, and dependents) a lounge, quiet study area, computer lab, food pantry, peer-to-peer advising (Peer Advisors for Veteran Education (PAVE)), meetings with Veterans Affairs (VA) representatives, and various workshops.

The VRC provides informational materials, advice on available educational benefits, and guidance on the special satisfactory academic progress requirements for students using educational benefits. Students wishing to apply for veterans educational benefits must apply directly through the VRC by emailing, calling, or visiting during office hours. Any student that submits a VRC Intake Form, VRC Student Contract, VRC Certification Form as well as a “Certificate of Eligibility (COE)”, “NOBE”, “TA Agreement”, and/or “San Joaquin County Authorization Form” will be able to attend or participate in courses while awaiting payment from the VA, Department of Defense, or a fee waiver from the State of California.

Satisfactory Progress Standards for Title 38 Students 

Federal regulations state that educational benefit payments must be discontinued when the student ceases to make satisfactory progress toward the completion of his or her stated goal. San Joaquin Delta College is required to report a termination of benefits if, after 3 semesters of college: 

  • The student has failed to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. 
  • The student has failed to complete at least 50% of units each semester. 
  • A combination of the above. 

Upon termination of benefits, the student must complete at least one term without benefits in which the following conditions are met: 

  • The student completes at least 50% of units attempted. 
  • The semester grade point average is at least a 2.00. 

Students whose educational benefits have been terminated by the college can receive benefits on a probationary status when they return. However, those students must: 

  • Reapply for admission to the college prior to contacting the Veterans’ Services Office 
  • Show progress during that probationary semester by completing at least 50% of units and improving the cumulative grade point average (if previously below a 2.0). 

Previously terminated students will continue to receive benefits as long as they continue to show improvement by completing a minimum of 50% of units attempted each term and the semester grade point average continues to be at least 2.00. VA policy is more restrictive than college policy, and may result in benefits being terminated for students who are still eligible to enroll at the college. If you have any questions about the satisfactory progress policy, please contact the Veterans Resource Center.

VA Pending Payment Compliance

  • Provide a written request to be certified;
  • Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies

Book Buy-Back

The Bookstore’s commitment to students is to buy back as many books at the end of each semester as can potentially be resold the following term, usually over 80% of book titles.

Students may sell back books any time, but the best price is offered during the last week of the term for those books that are needed the next immediate semester. Books sold back at ANY OTHER TIME will be bought back for a used book dealer and only at the “wholesale” prices listed in the dealer’s catalog.

  • During the last week of each semester, the Bookstore will pay up to 50% of the purchase price on all copies NEEDED on campus for the following semester - regardless where purchased.
  • Books bought back are then re-priced USED and made available for the next semester at 75% of the current new price.
  • Discontinued books may still have a “wholesale” value, if the edition is current. The Bookstore buys these books for a USED BOOK company that resells them to other schools. “Wholesale” values are approximately 25% of the original new price.

The following are reasons the Bookstore may not buy back certain titles:

  • Faculty changes text for the following term;
  • Publisher changes editions of text; or
  • The Bookstore may be overstocked on a particular title.

Online Learning

San Joaquin Delta College offers a number of courses and programs online via the Internet, using Canvas. Numerous online course sections are scheduled each fall and spring semester, and during the summer term. Students access these courses from their own computer and, in most cases, on-campus attendance is not required. Online courses offer an attractive option to those who work full-time, have children to care for during the day, or who live too far from campus to conveniently commute. This option also appeals to those who simply like the online learning environment.

Courses that replace some in-class time with online work are termed hybrid. Fully online courses (those that do not have any on-campus meetings) are referred to as online. The Schedule of Classes will show “Int Lec” for fully online classes. It will display two lines for hybrid classes:

Int Lec  - 001A - 12345       TBA                                   ONLINE
Lecture - 001B - 12346      Thursday 12:30-2:30      BUDD 408

Advanced computer skills are not required to enroll in these courses, but students should be familiar with basic operations such as email, copy-and-paste, uploading files (for assignment submission,) using a word processor, and navigating the Internet using a Web browser such as Google Chrome or Firefox.

Delta College promotes and ensures academic honesty in online courses in several ways. Courses are held in password protected online environments that provide the instructor and students with tools to share information, collaborate, discuss, and evaluate learning. Tools such as Turnitin.com are used to teach online students to value and practice academic honesty. In some online classes, instructors may require that students use Lockdown Browser for taking tests in Canvas. Lockdown Browser is a secure browser that prevents students from printing, copying, going to another URL, or accessing other applications during a test. Some instructors may also require the use a webcam to record the online testing session. 

To view a list of online classes, refer to the Schedule of Classes on the College website at www.deltacollege.edu.
