Have you ever found it annoying that MyDelta and Okta are in two different places? Delta wants to change that, by renaming Okta to My Delta Dashboard, a place where students can quickly access the services they need at Delta. You will still be able to go to your MyDelta account and access your student email Delta just wants to make it easier to have everything in one place.
Around May 22, students and teachers will no longer be able to access MyDelta the old way and will have to go through My Delta Dashboard (Okta) to log in. Delta’s Director of Marketing and Communication Alex Breitler is in charge of communicating these changes. These changes will affect new and current students drastically, according to Breitler.
“We are trying to improve the experience for students now that MyDelta is on there and all your Microsoft Office products,” Breitler said. “Getting all that stuff into one place and establishing a true single sign-on system for the college is a big deal”.”
In a Zoom interview, Breitler also said the goal is to reduce student confusion.
“It was confusing to have multiple logins, in this day and age with all the different services we subscribe to I’m always trying to figure out what password goes where,” he said. “Minimizing those kinds of frustrations I think is really important for new and current students at Delta”.”
Next week, Delta will send emails to students notifying them of the name change and the login changes to MyDelta.
Jesus Martinez is a new student registering for Delta in Fall 2023 with plans to major in Nursing.
Martinez feels these changes will help new students trying to register.
“Having everything in one place makes it a lot easier to register and know what is going on at Delta,” Martinez said. “Having two different logins always confused me, so I’m happy Delta is trying to make it easier for students to register and I hope they succeed in all their changes.”
