Policies and Administrative Procedures

In fall 2008, the MiraCosta Community College District subscribed to the Community College League (CCLC) Policy and Procedure Service in order to update board policies and administrative procedures. The old-format policies and procedures are still available through the links at the bottom of this page. Information in some of these documents is still in force; however, when the conversion process is complete, the old policies and procedures will be rescinded.

Use the table of contents below to move to the desired chapter. Each chapter is arranged with board policies on the left and administrative procedures (if they exist) on the right.
