Apply for Admission
A new student is any student who has never attended MJC. A returning student is any student who enrolled in an MJC course any time in the past. New and returning students must complete the New Student Admissions Application
In order to be assigned a registration date, all new and returning students must complete the New Student Admissions Application. Applications are available online.
Apply Early!
The date a student registers has a direct bearing on whether or not the class(es) desired will still be open. At Modesto Junior College, students register on a priority basis. Students who have been enrolled during the past year register in order of units completed and in progress (with 99 being the maximum number of units). Students who exceed 99 units go to the bottom of the list. After all continuing students have registered, new and returning students register, according to the date their completed Admissions Application is received in the Admissions Office. Participating StartSmart students register before other new and returning students. Students with Bachelor's degrees and higher register last.
Registration dates and times are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applications that are turned in earlier will be given earlier registration dates and times. An early registration date will allow you to select from the broadest selection of classes.
Registration Date and Time
As soon as your Admissions Application is processed, you will receive your registration date and time via the email address provided on your application. You will also receive an email via your student email account with that same informaiton before registration begins!
Units completed at other colleges
Many students have attended other accredited colleges recognized by Modesto Junior College. Students who have transcripts forwarded to MJC for evaluation may receive equivalent credit for courses that can be used to satisfy prerequisites, program requirements, graduation requirements or transfer requirements. These course units accepted by the college can be used during second & subsequent semesters to improve a student's registration priority. Students should understand that these units count in the 99 unit maximum threshold. Students lose their registration priority at 99.5 units.
