Free Spring semester

[ylmir]

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.

Hi ylmir,

How long did it take for them to send that after you got your student number? I haven't received this email.

Update: I wonder if it's because I'm in the state of Washington after reading this from a different California CC: https://www.sbcc.edu/distanceeducation/s...zation.php. It says it's not authorized to offer online learning in:
Alabama
Arkansas
Maryland
Minnesota
New York
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Utah

I received it right about the same time I received my student number. I have also been unable to access registration so far. Hopefully it works out for you!
