Frequently Asked Questions
When do the courses meet?
Most PACE programs are offered 100% online, providing convenience and flexibility for students. Some programs, however, such as Computer Science and Pre-Nursing, require occasional on-ground coursework for specific courses. Most PACE classes are typically offered fully online in an asynchronous format (aka, around your schedule and does not require live meeting times).
How much do textbooks cost?
Textbook costs vary. While new books can exceed $100, you will often find used textbooks or rental options for much less. Additionally, many PACE courses offer low-cost or zero-textbook-cost (ZTC) options, meaning you may not need to purchase a textbook at all. If you complete the FAFSA, financial aid may be available to help cover textbook costs. Textbooks can be purchased new, used, or rented from the Moorpark College Bookstore—simply enter your course and section number to view required materials.
