At MiraCosta College, we understand that being a parent and a student means navigating multiple responsibilities-and we're here to make that journey a little easier. This web page pulls together all the available resources on- and off-campus for making college more affordable and manageable, so you can focus on what truly matters: your family and your education.
A student parent is “a student who has a child or children under 18 years of age who will receive more than half of their support from that student” (Ed Code Section 66025.81(b). Student Parents receive Priority Registration per AB2881.
If you have questions or need support, you can contact the CARE Office at care@miracosta.edu or 760.757.2121 x2200. We’re also on campus at Building 14, Room 14107 and are available to support you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out - we’re here to help.
