MERCED COLLEGE FACTS 

FEES: MCHS student enrolled in 11 units or fewer at Merced College (MC) are not charged tuition -- classes are FREE. However, students are required to pay a student health fee and transportation fee each semester at MC. If the fees aren't paid, a hold will placed on their account and they may not be able to register for MC classes the following semester. The student rep fee and student body fee must be paid unless a waived fee form is submitted. There is no fee for CCAP, dual-credit classes. Students enrolled in more than 11 units in a semester are considered full-time students and the K-12 tuition exemption does not apply.

BOOKS AND SUPPLIES: Students are responsible for purchasing their own books and supplies for MC classes. MCHS will supply students enrolled in CCAP/dual-credit courses with all books and supplies.  

MC PORTAL & CANVAS: Students will need to set up their MC Portal in order to access grades, get transcripts, pay fees, or drop classes. Instructors communicate with their students through their MC Canvas and MC student email, which can only be accessed once their MC Portal is set up. The MC portal and MC canvas use the same username and password to log in.
