We are currently accepting online applications for the Fall 2008 (08/25/2008-12/19/2008) semester.  Fall applications will be processed beginning in late June.  Fall applicants will receive materials via the mail once we begin processing. 

Once your application has been processed you will need to retrieve your SURF ID and Password.  Beginning in late June for fall, go to the  surf.miracosta.edu website.  You will be asked a series of questions which will allow you to obtain your ID and set up a password.     Students who do not submit social security numbers will need to receive a substitute number from the Admissions & Records (A&R) office in order to obtain their ID online (sent by mail) - OR - you may come to A&R and by showing a picture identification, you may obtain your SURF ID number.  

YOUR STUDENT ID WILL NOT BE MAILED.  YOU MUST RETRIEVE YOUR OWN ID THROUGH OUR SURF SYSTEM OR IN PERSON.

The next step is determine whether or not you have an appointment to enroll.  Check SURF under appointments.  New students do not typically have appointments, but some special populations such as students who participate in Matriculation, will be given an earlier enrollment priority.  For fall, most new students will be allowed to use SURF to enroll and pay fees beginning on July 21. 

Some applicants may need to provide additional material to complete the application.  Examples of these types of applicants include high school students and recent California residents.  These applicants will be contacted by mail to provide any additional paperwork.
