Academic Enrichment Pathway

Spring 2026 Registration is November 13th!

It is highly recommended that Academic Enrichment Pathway students start the enrollment process before the registration date of the term they are enrolling for. This will prepare students and help deter any issues come registration day. 

Registration day is when Academic Enrichment Pathway students can begin to register for classes. It is important to note regular college students are enrolling into the same courses and have an earlier priority registration date than dual enrollment students.

The enrollment deadline is dependent on each class itself. See our Online Class Schedule Search for critical dates for each respective class.

*Note: Students can now currently complete Steps 1-4 of the enrollment process for the Spring 2026 term!

Academic Enrichment dual enrollment students are highly encouraged to speak to their K-12 school counselors before starting the dual enrollment process to seek advice on what courses to take.

You may also request to meet with our dual enrollment academic counselor by email using your college MYVCCCD e-mail address. Our counselor can provide information regarding college units counting towards a Cal-GETC certification, AA degree, or transferrable units towards a four-year university.

Important Notes

• Academic enrichment students receive college credit towards their official permanent college transcript

• For any question regarding high school credit, please have the student contact their high school counselor to determine if the college coursework will meet their high school graduation requirements

• Any questions regarding college course credit towards A-G CSU/UC admissions requirements must be directed to your high school counselor or the CSU/UC admissions office

If you have a verifiable disability, a 504 plan, or an IEP in place with your high school, please contact our ACCESS department to apply for accommodations through Moorpark College after applying to our college for the term you are enrolling in. To join ACCESS, you can follow the steps on the Applying to ACCESS webpage.

Academic Enrichment Courses are typically taken outside of the regular K-12 school day with different class delivery modes:

• Fully Online asynchronously (without Zoom Meetings) or synchronously (with Zoom meetings)
• Hybrid (mixture of online and in-person at Moorpark College)
• Fully in-person at the Moorpark College campus

This may vary per course. Please see browse our Online Class Schedule Search by clicking here to browse by term, class delivery mode, and campus.

Beginning Fall 2025, these common courses are changing their numbering (i.e. PSY M01 to PSYC C1000). Please ensure the dual enrollment student enters the new course title on their dual enrollment e-form (MOU) under "Course Information."

PSY M01/H → PSYC C1000/H

COMM M01/H → COMM C1000/H

Students in this pathway do not pay tuition fees. However, they are responsible for other college-related fees that total less than $50 per term. If a course requires any textbooks or materials to be purchased, students are responsible to pay those as well. Fees may be paid through the students' MYVCCCD portal, over the phone or in-person.

A student can even take multiple different courses at different colleges simultaneously!

• I submitted a dual enrollment e-form (MOU) but made a typo/want to add more classes. What should I do?
  • A new MOU Form must be submitted for each term the student wishes to enroll at Moorpark College. If students wish to add classes not listed on their initial MOU form or make a correction, they will need to submit another MOU form.
• What if I can’t participate in the first day of class?
  • Most professors will have a first-day assignment that will need to be completed. Some professors will drop a student (Instructor-Initiated Drops) from their section, if the student does not attend in-person or complete the first-day assignment.  If you are unable to attend the first day of class, it is important that you email your instructor ahead of time to let them know the reason.

• What do I do if I’m waitlisted?
  • When registering and a course is full, but taking students for the waitlist, you will answer “Yes” when it prompts you to join the waitlist.  If you are not added to the course, by the first day of class, you will either attend the class in-person, or if online, reach out to the professor via email to ask if they will be adding students.  If so, you will need an Add Code to enroll in the course.  Only the professor can provide the Add Code. You can find directions on how to enroll with an Add Code on our Registration Guide located here under the Banner, “How Do I Use An Add Code?”

• How can I verify that I have successfully enrolled into a class?
  • A student can verify if they have successfully enrolled into a course in their MYVCCCD portal under their “Student Schedule/Bill.” Review our guide on how to do so here.

  • All college courses have critical dates and deadlines that college students must follow. Examples include the last day to add the class, the last day to drop the class, the last day to drop with a “W”, etc. Critical Dates are listed in the VCCCD Class Schedule Search under each CRN (a 5-digit course reference number). Follow a blue link for each CRN you register for, and the dates will be displayed. This may also be found in the student’s schedule/bill within the MYVCCCD portal. Please visit our how to guide to find the student schedule/bill.

• How do I drop/unenroll in a course?
  • It is the student's responsibility to drop classes by the deadline if they are no longer attending. Drops can be completed online via the MyVCCCD student portal under “Registration Planner” or in person at the Admissions and Records Office by the appropriate deadline. Deadlines are listed on the student schedule/bill or they can be viewed by clicking on the CRN of the class in the schedule of classes (https://schedule.vcccd.edu/). Failure to drop a class will result in a letter grade of an "F" noted on the student's permanent record (College Transcript). Please view our step-by-step registration guide for more information on how to drop a course.

  • A high school partnership dual enrollment student will have their grades sent to their high school at the end of the term, once grades are made available by their instructor.
• What happens if I get a D or an F in a course?
  • Poor grades will hurt college GPAs and academic standing. Low GPAs can negatively affect students’ financial aid eligibility and future college/university opportunities. Please see our dual enrollment counselor for guidance and limitations.

• What is a “W”?
  • “W” stands for “Withdrawal.” It means that you dropped the course after the last day to drop without a “W’ for that course section. A “W” will show on your transcript; a “W” will not affect your college GPA, but you still want to avoid earning multiple W's. Pay attention to Critical Dates for each course you take, like drop dates. More info can be found on our Withdrawal Procedures website.
