Computer workstations: Computer workstations are available for students to access information on the Internet and to fill out admissions applications online.
Cross-Enrollment Programs: Allows students to enroll for one course each semester at a CSU or each quarter at a UC campus without paying tuition or fees (a nominal charge is paid for processing). A great opportunity for the student who has completed most of the lower-division requirements for transfer or who needs a lower-division course not offered at MiraCosta.
