However, going over these items will give you more information that may be useful as a Moorpark College dual enrollment student.
How do I know which Moorpark College classes are available this term for high school partnership dual enrollment and when they will be offered?
High school partnership dual enrollment courses are only offered through our partnerships with participating high school districts. These courses are restricted (hidden) from the public and are only given to students that counselors at the specific high school identify. Please ask your high school counselor for more information about courses currently being offered.
As an Academic Enrichment dual enrollment student, how do I know which Moorpark College classes are available for the term I am attempting to enroll in?
A student can view our Schedule of Classes Search and filter classes by term, if it is currently open, subject, and campus. We highly suggest a student first speak to their high school counselor to decide which class to take for high school or UC/CSU A-G admissions credit.
Can I take classes at the other campuses (Ventura and Oxnard Colleges) as an Academic Enrichment dual enrollment student?
Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) is a public community college district serving residents throughout Ventura County. Moorpark College, Oxnard College, and Ventura College are all a part of this district. A student at any of these colleges can take courses at any of the other two colleges without a separate application. A student can even take multiple different courses at different colleges simultaneously!
I submitted a dual enrollment e-form (MOU) but made a typo/want to add more classes. What should I do?
A new MOU Form must be submitted for each term the student wishes to enroll at Moorpark College. If students wish to add classes not listed on their initial MOU form or make a correction, they will need to submit another MOU form.
What if I can’t participate in the first day of class?
Most professors will have a first-day assignment that will need to be completed. Some professors will drop a student (Instructor-Initiated Drops) from their section, if the student does not attend in-person or complete the first-day assignment. If you are unable to attend the first day of class, it is important that you email your instructor ahead of time to let them know the reason.
What do I do if I’m waitlisted?
When registering and a course is full, but taking students for the waitlist, you will answer “Yes” when it prompts you to join the waitlist. If you are not added to the course, by the first day of class, you will either attend the class in-person, or if online, reach out to the professor via email to ask if they will be adding students. If so, you will need an Add Code to enroll in the course. Only the professor can provide the Add Code. You can find directions on how to enroll with an Add Code on our Registration Guide located here under the Banner, “How Do I Use An Add Code?”
How can I verify that I have successfully enrolled into a class?
A student can verify if they have successfully enrolled into a course in their MYVCCCD portal under their “Student Schedule/Bill.” Review our guide on how to do so here.
What are the Critical Dates for my course, and where can I find them?
All college courses have critical dates and deadlines that college students must follow. Examples include the last day to add the class, the last day to drop the class, the last day to drop with a “W”, etc. Critical Dates are listed in the VCCCD Class Schedule Search under each CRN (a 5-digit course reference number). Follow a blue link for each CRN you register for, and the dates will be displayed. This may also be found in the student’s schedule/bill within the MYVCCCD portal. Please visit our how to guide to find the student schedule/bill.
How do I drop/unenroll in a course?
It is the student's responsibility to drop classes by the deadline if they are no longer attending. Drops can be completed online via the MyVCCCD student portal under “Registration Planner” or in person at the Admissions and Records Office by the appropriate deadline. Deadlines are listed on the student schedule/bill or they can be viewed by clicking on the CRN of the class in the schedule of classes (https://schedule.vcccd.edu/). Failure to drop a class will result in a letter grade of an "F" noted on the student's permanent record (College Transcript). Please view our step-by-step registration guide for more information on how to drop a course.
Where can I find my AP and/or IB score equivalencies to Moorpark College courses?

Can I enroll in honor’s courses, as a dual enrollment student?
Yes, as long as you meet the prerequisite/corequisite and course requirements.
What is a Prerequisite and Corequisite?
A Prerequisite is a course (or equivalent skills or prior experience) that you must complete with a grade of “C” or better before enrolling in a more advanced course. A Corequisite is a course that must be taken while you enroll in the desired course.
What do I do if the course I wish to take has a Prerequisite or a Corequisite?
All prerequisites must be met before enrollment and only a college counselor can clear one. Please contact our dual enrollment counselor or visit the Moorpark College Counseling webpage located here for guidance on how to clear prerequisites. Remember to e-mail using your college MYVCCCD e-mail address, Moorpark College ID (900) number, and attach transcripts to verify you met the pre-requisite for a course.
What if I am currently enrolled in the prerequisite outside of the Ventura Community College District?
Prerequisites completed in high school or outside colleges/universities or AP exam scores CANNOT be cleared until there is a final grade or score posted.
Is there Financial Aid available to me as a high school student?
No. Financial Aid is only available to students who have graduated from high school.
Are there any fee waivers that can help bring the cost down if I am an Academic Enrichment dual enrollment student?
Yes! Health and Student Activity Fee Waivers are available for students to bring the cost of the term down. These can be found on the Moorpark College Student Business Office Website. Please keep in mind you must submit these fee waivers each time a student is participating in dual enrollment.
Where can I buy textbooks for Academic Enrichment dual enrollment courses?
An instructor may list where a student can purchase course materials on their syllabus. A student may also want to visit our Moorpark College bookstore website to search for their specific course section using the Course Routing Number (CRN) for that term. Please visit our bookstore website for more information. Do note that a student is fully responsible for covering all costs of their course materials.
Which classes meet the A-G or high school diploma requirements?
Contact your high school counselor for more information, as these vary depending on your K-12 school.
How can I send my final dual enrollment grades to my K-12 school?
An Academic Enrichment dual enrollment K-12 student is responsible for sending their official Moorpark College transcript electronically to their school counselor. More information on how to order a transcript through the student’s MYVCCCD portal can be found here.
• A high school partnership dual enrollment student will have their grades sent to their high school at the end of the term, once grades are made available by their instructor.
What happens if I get a D or an F in a course?
Poor grades will hurt college GPAs and academic standing. Low GPAs can negatively affect students’ financial aid eligibility and future college/university opportunities. Please see our dual enrollment counselor for guidance and limitations.
What is a “W”?
“W” stands for “Withdrawal.” It means that you dropped the course after the last day to drop without a “W’ for that course section. A “W” will show on your transcript; a “W” is better than a D or an F, but you still want to avoid it. Pay attention to Critical Dates for each course you take, like drop dates. More info can be found on our Withdrawal Procedures website.
Who do I contact if I am having problems with my electronic dual enrollment e-form (MOU) or Moorpark College application?
The admissions and records office processes all dual enrollment e-forms (MOU) and applications. Their email is mcadmissions@vcccd.edu and their phone number is (805) 378-1429
