The CVC (California Virtual College) Exchange is an innovative, student-centered tool that allows students currently enrolled in a California Community College to instantly enroll in online courses offered at eligible colleges without filling out a separate application. This gives you the ability to enroll in courses that may or may not be available at your college, allowing you to achieve your goals faster and seamlessly without needing to complete separate application and registration processes.
MJC is both a "home college" and a "teaching college."
If you qualify, you will be able to find online courses at California Community Colleges other than your Home College. Registration for classes is quick and easy. The CVC Exchange offers instant enrollment, which allows current California Community College students to enroll in a class without filling out a separate application.
You qualify if you meet the following requirements:

Students using the CVC Exchange are subject to the payment policies of the college that is offering the class, i.e. the Teaching College. Since a college may have a drop for non-payment policy and deadline date; it is in a student’s best interest to pay for classes at the time of enrollment via the CVC Exchange in order to secure a seat in the class. Even if a student initially chooses the credit card option to pay for classes, eligible students are still allowed and encouraged to apply for both the CCPG and Federal Financial Aid at time of payment. If approved for either or both CCPG and Federal Aid, students who may have used the credit card option will be appropriately reimbursed.

All participating colleges have signed a Federal Financial Aid Consortium Agreement, so students enrolled in two different colleges may be able to receive federal and state financial aid funds based on combined units taken at both colleges.
Visit the Financial Aid Consortium Agreement website to learn how units taken at a "Teaching College" can be counted toward your financial aid.
If you would like to be considered for a California Promise Grant (Fee Waiver) of your CVC course, please add MJC to your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or complete a California College Promise Grant (CCPG) application. MJC school code number is 001240.
If you are taking courses at a "teaching college," make a correction to your FAFSA and add the "teaching college" school code. By adding the school code to your FAFSA, the "teaching college" financial aid office may determine your eligibility for a California College Promise Grant (CCPG).
