Student Right-to-Know Rates

In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of the MiraCosta Community College District to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in fall 2004, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. Their completion and transfer rates are listed below. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at MiraCosta College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period.

Based upon the cohort defined above, 28.99 percent attained a certificate or degree or became “transfer prepared” during a three year period, from fall 2004 to spring 2007. Students who are “transfer prepared” have completed 56 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better.

Based on the cohort defined above, 23.19 percent transferred to another postsecondary institution (UC, CSU, or another California community college) prior to attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming “transfer-prepared” during a five-semester period, from spring 2005 to spring 2007.

Selective Service—Important Notice For Male Students

Federal law requires men 18 through 25 years of age to be registered with the Selective Service System (SSS). The law applies to male citizens and immigrant aliens, but not to foreign students who hold valid student visas. Registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office or online at www.sss.gov.

Federal tax Credit

In accordance with federal tax credit legislation, MiraCosta College will mail a verification 1098T form at the end of January to each registered student. Information will also be reported to the IRS. If you did not provide your correct Social Security number to the Admissions and Records Office, complete a change of information form to ensure accurate reporting to the IRS. Please check with your tax preparer to determine if you are eligible to take advantage of this credit and the amount you may deduct. 1098 information may be accessed on your SURF account by selecting Finances.

Smoking and Drug Use

MiraCosta College allows smoking in designated smoking areas only and imposes sanctions against the use of illegal drugs. Designated smoking areas are clearly marked with signs posted at each campus; the campus maps in this schedule show where these areas are located.

“MiraCosta College came to us for weekly classes. It was so convenient. The training has been a great stepping stone to becoming a supervisor.”—TaylorMade, Adidas Golf

“ They understood the unique needs of our workplace and met those needs. The training was motivational and used examples the employees could relate to. They loved it.”
