College Classes on the MC Campus

Dual Enrollment at Moorpark College is for K-12 students who wish to take college classes in addition to their K-12 course load. These students pick and choose coursework listed in the Schedule of Classes, offered through the Moorpark College and on the main campus.

These students will take class alongside other Moorpark College students. They can take their classes tuition-free*, but must purchase their own textbooks.

*Dual Enrollment at Moorpark College students are exempt from paying college tuition ($46 per unit), but are be required to pay the MC Health Fee, MC Student Activity fee,  MC Student Center Fee, and MC Student Rep Fee (total ranging from $27-$35 per semester). Paying these fees give students access to our Student Health Center and a Student ID card from our Student Activities Office.

Moorpark College partners with local K-12 school districts to bring Moorpark College Pathway courses to high school campuses, based on a special district agreements. The students who attend these specific high schools can begin taking college courses in our Pathways while still enrolled in high school, tuition-free*, without the need for transportation to the college campus. Our courses are taught by our skilled Moorpark College faculty members, and we work with the high schools to offer courses suitable for high school students. Our Dual Enrollment Pathway students can receive both high school and college credits for taking our courses, as well as develop their college readiness skills to ensure their success in higher education.  

These courses are not found in the Schedule of Classes since they are not open to the general public. Please check with your specific high school for the list of classes being offered through your high school.

Students who are required to pay these fees are also able to use the Student Health Center on campus and pickup a Student ID card from our Student Activities Office.}

The Moorpark College Dual Enrollment Program currently partners with following school districts to offer our courses through their high school campuses:

FERPA, or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. This law applies to any student that reaches the age of 18 or begins attending a college or university, regardless of age. FERPA rights are transferred from the parent/guardian to the student, meaning that students must act on their own behalf. Parents, guardians, relatives, or friends of MC students are not permitted to enroll, drop, or add classes on behalf of the student. The same applies to requesting transcripts or grade verifications. 

Even though a student may still be enrolled in high school and is a dependent of their parent/guardian, we must maintain confidentiality in regards to student records and can only discuss student information with the student. A student may allow their parent to be included in conversations regarding confidential information, but only with the student's consent. A student can submit a completed FERPA form to permit the sharing of student records: FERPA Form
