Who can enroll?
You can if you are 18 years or older, or a high school graduate or equivalent, or under 18, enrolled in a day high school as a sophomore, junior, or senior with a Minor's Permit signed by the high school principal and counselor. In-home schooling students also must complete a Minor's Petition and verify completion of freshman year of high school education.
How do I enroll?
First get a MiraCosta College Credit Class Schedule. Schedules are available free of charge at both campuses and public libraries in Oceanside, Carlsbad, La Costa, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Vista and Fallbrook. If you would like us to mail a schedule to you, call the Public Information Office, (760) 795-6612 or email pio@miracosta.edu. The Credit Class Schedule is usually available two months before the semester starts. For example, the spring schedule should be available in early November and the fall schedule should be available in early May. Complete the application included in the class schedule and bring it to the Admissions and Records Office at either campus or mail it to: MiraCosta College, Admissions and Records Office, One Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA 92056.
Check the Schedule of classes to determine the deadline to mail in your application. You will be required to bring in your application to Admissions and Records on the Oceanside or San Elijo campus after this date specified in the catalog.
