Public post-secondary education for students with dependent children is a growing
need in our community. The journey to and through college is challenging for many
students, but it is even more challenging for student parents as they juggle academic
demands while also raising children. Modesto Junior College recognizes that Student
parents may face greater economic barriers than students without children.
Priority Registration for Student Parents
Modesto Junior College can now offer level 1 priority registration to our Student
Parents. Which means Student Parents will receive an earlier registration appointment
once priority registration begins for each term. Please visit the Enrollment Services webpage for more on priority registration and deadline dates.
The student parent population deserves particular focus and support. AB 2881 provides
a multifaceted approach to support student parents at the community colleges, California
State University, and University of California by granting priority registration to
student parents, as well as listing available resources. We have established this
student parent webpage to highlight available services and resources, and to increase
awareness of the California Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants,
and Children. We are dedicated to the academic success and degree attainment for student
parents, while focusing on their needs and the needs of their children.
A student parent is defined as a student who has a child under 18 years of age who
will receive more than half of their support from the student (parent). To be eligible,
students must participate in orientation, complete the assessment process, and develop
a Student Education Plan. A Student Parent may lose priority registration if they are placed on academic or
progress probation for two consecutive terms or they have earned 100 or more degree-applicable
semesters units.
Student Parent information is gathered through our MJC admission application. If you
answered “YES” to the Student Parent Question in the application, there is no need
to complete the “Priority Registration for Student Parent Form”.If you have not, just submit our Priority Registration for StudentParent Form. These get submitted to The Office of Basic Needs so your priority registration can
be processed. If you have any questions, please contact 209.575.7902 or email mjcpiratespantry@mjc.edu
