Admission Process

OPEN TO ENROLLMENT

Each course offered by the Ventura County Community College District and its colleges is open to enrollment and participation by any person who has been admitted to the college and who meets the prerequisites to the class or program, unless specifically exempted by statute.

HOW TO APPLY

New students: If you have never attended Moorpark College, an application for admission is required in order to register for classes. You are eligible to attend Moorpark College if you have graduated from high school or are 18 years of age. You may also be eligible to attend as a Special Admission student if you are still enrolled in high school.

New students and new Special Admission students are encouraged to apply on-line at www. moorparkcollege.edu/apply. New students may also apply by mail, fax, or in person.

Returning Students: If you last attended Moorpark College prior to Spring 2006, you are not required to re-apply for admission. However, to be eligible to register during New & Returning student priority registration beginning December 4th, returning students must contact the Registration & Records Office by November 28th to update their enrollment status.

Returning students may make changes to their e-mail address, phone number, or address on-line at www. moorparkcollege.edu/webstar. If your name has changed since you last attended, please visit the Records Office to make the change.

HOW TO REGISTER

IN-PERSON: Held in the Office of Registration & Records lociated in the Administration Building.

HOW TO DETERMINE WHEN TO REGISTER

Continuing Students: If you attended Moorpark, Oxnard, or Ventura College in Spring 2006 or Fall 2006, you are a continuing student and are entitled to priority registration beginning November 13th. Starting November 1st, continuing students may log onto www.moorparkcollege.edu/webstar to view their priority registration date.

Priority for continuing students is based on the number of units completed within the Ventura County Community College District. Students with the highest number of units are assigned the earliest registration dates. Units transferred from other institutions are not included for purposes of determining registration priority.

New & Returning Students: If you have never attended Moorpark, Oxnard, or Ventura College you are a new student. If you last attended any of these colleges before Spring 2006, you are a returning student.

New students who apply by November 28th and returning students who update their enrollment status with the Office of Registration & Records by November 28th , are eligible to register beginning December 4.

New and returning students who do not meet the November 28 deadline may register beginning December 8. No appointment is needed.

Special Admission Students: A Special Admission student is a student in grades K–12 under the age of 18.

If you last attended Moorpark College as a high school student and have now graduated, you must update your enrollment status by contacting the Office of Registration & Records before you will be allowed to register on-line.

STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Students may now access their academic records using either their social security number or student ID. Only the student ID will appear on mailers, notices from the colleges, and all faculty rosters. Your social security number will still be collected for such purposes as statistical reporting, financial aid, and Hope ScholarshipTax Credit reporting, and it will appear on your official transcript.
