Online Orientation and Advisement
Welcome to MiraCosta College's online Orientation and Group Advisement sessions. The matriculation process (Orientation, Testing and Advisement) starts you on the right path and keeps you going with the information you need to arrive at your educational destination. Right here on the web you can learn all about policies, procedures, student services, degree requirements, course scheduling, and more. You can listen to audio narrated information, and explore an interactive campus map. Persons with disabilities may request alternative methods of presentation by calling 760-795-6658. You may also call for on-campus appointments with faculty and staff by calling 760-795-6670.
