Just applied and my application was processed quickly. Received this email in response:
"Thank you for applying to Modesto Junior College. Your admission application indicates that you have an out of state permanent address. Unfortunately, Modesto Junior College does not have state authorization to offer online classes to students physically located outside of California. You will only be allowed to enroll in to in person courses."
I looked into this a bit, and it turns out that due to federal regulations and California's refusal to join the reciprocal SARA agreement for online classes, most California schools can not offer online courses to out-of-state residents. Interestingly, this does not apply to out-of-country applicants, so if that's you, go for it. I find it interesting that California is the only one of all the 50 States that has not joined SARA.
