Educational Travel
You can register for a trip in the same way you would for a class. Register online by going to www.mjc4life.org; call (209) 575-6063 and register by phone with a Visa, MasterCard or Discover credit card; or come in person to our office in the Morris Administration Building, Room 104. Travel/Trip details will be provided in a letter to registered participants 7-10 days before the trip. Buses normally depart from the MJC West Campus, but MJC reserves the right to make any necessary changes in departure place and times. The departure location will be listed in the letter you receive from our office.
Modesto Junior College (MJC) reserves the right to make changes to itineraries of equal or greater value as deemed necessary. We cannot reimburse clients for items in the tour that they elect to not participate in.
MJC will not be liable for delays, bad conditions of the Rd., storms, acts of God, public enemies, strikes, acts of terrorism, and other conditions beyond its control.
All off-campus extracurricular field trips/excursions are voluntary. If you choose
to participate, be advised that pursuant to the California Code of regulations, subchapter
5, section 55450, you agree to hold the district, its officers, agents and employees
harmless from any and all liability or claims which may arise out of or in connection
with your participation.
Trip Cancellation Information
ALL trip refunds are subject to a $20 processing fee, regardless of when or why you cancel. If our office needs to cancel a trip you will receive an automatic full refund.
Day trips
A full (100 percent) refund will be given for trips which are full at the time registration is received or those that the college finds necessary to cancel. For trips/tours, advance notice of cancellation must be given within the following guidelines:
- One day excursion - 7 days
- Pre-purchased tickets included - 30 days
- Overnight accommodations included - 45 days
- Short, overnight trips - Refunds for overnight trips require a minimum of 45 days' notice of cancellation. (Tickets and hotel reservations must be reserved and purchased by Modesto Junior College in advance.) For less than the 45-day notice, we can only provide a refund if your space can be resold. If we are able to resell your space, a $20 processing fee will be deducted from your refund.
Extended trips
Our extended trips have various cancellation, deposit, and final payment deadlines.
Please be sure to ask for this information when you register.
Rating Our Trips
You have asked for an indication as to how much walking each trip will entail. We have tried to rate our trips with the following symbols:
LIMITED: May require a walk to the theater, or to your seat at the ballpark. If free time allows participants to stroll a bit, you are welcome to find a place to sit and rest.
MODERATE: May require a large amount of walking, usually in either the morning or the afternoon.
EXTENDED: Will involve walking much of the day.
