Admissions & Registration Information

Mission College grants admission to anyone who is a high school graduate, has passed the State Proficiency Test, received a G.E.D., or is 18 years of age or older. A student whose legal residence is outside of California and has not resided in the state for one year and one day prior to the first day of the term may apply for admission as a non-resident and is subject to non-resident fees.

In accordance with Assembly Bill 540, any student, other than a nonimmigrant alien, who meets all of the following requirements, shall be exempt from paying nonresident tuition at the California Community Colleges.

Requirements:

• The student must have attended a high school (private or public) in California for three or more years.
• The student must have graduated from a California high school or attained the equivalent prior to the start of the term (eg. Passing the GED or California High School proficiency exam.
• An alien student who is without lawful immigration status must file an affidavit with the college stating that he or she has filed an application to legalize his/her immigration status, or will file an application as soon as he or she is eligible to do so. You may obtain the required form , 'Student Affidavit for Exemption from Nonresident Tuition', in the Admissions Office.
• Students who are nonimmigrants (for example, F, B visas, etc.) are not eligible for this exemption.
• Nonresident students meeting the criteria will be exempted from the payment of nonresident tuition, but they will not be classified as California residents. They continue to be nonresidents.

High School Students Registration

Concurrently enrolled high school students in grades 11 and 12 must register In-Person two weeks before the term begins. Each term, these students are required to submit a new Concurrent Enrollment Form, and an Add Form signed by the instructor of the class they wish to add. Photo identification is required for all transactions. Concurrent Enrollment forms may be obtained on-line at missioncollege.org or from the Admissions and Records Office.

Audit Information

Do not register for a class that you wish to audit. Mission College allows students to audit a course for personal interest, but auditing does not gain a student credit. Written permission from the instructor is required using the Audit Form prior to auditing the class. The instructor will determine if the student qualifies as an auditing student and if the class is one which may be audited. The non-refundable fee for auditing is $15 per unit payable at the Admissions and Records Office. A class that was officially audited may not be used for credit. Please refer to the college catalog for Mission College’s auditing policy.

Refund Policy

Students must drop those classes for which they wish to receive a refund by the published deadline for semester length classes. For short-term classes it is determined by calculating 10% of the scheduled class meetings. Dropping a class after this deadline will result in loss of enrollment fees so that adding a new class after the refund deadline will require that new fees be paid. Refunds for ASB and Parking Permits are processed when the request is made at the Admissions and Records Office before the last day to drop with a refund deadline. A parking permit refund requires the return of the parking permit.
