New Students

Welcome to MPC! Our easy application process is free and doesn’t obligate you to commit to a specific program or courseload. The application is 100% online - you can apply on your own or receive one-on-one assistance in person at the Admissions & Records office on campus.

Apply Hassle-Free to MPC!

MPC’s application is powered by Open CCCApply through the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office. There is no cost to apply. Follow these three simple steps:

1. Visit Open CCCApply & Sign Up or Log In

Create an account or sign in to Open CCCApply. Your Open CCCApply login is separate from the MyMPC Student Portal.

After creating an account, you will receive an email from cccmypath.org with the subject: "Congratulations - your CCC account was successfully created!"

Login issues? Contact 1-877-247-4836 or email support@opencccapply.net for help.

2. Fill Out the Open CCCApply Form

In Open CCCApply, click "Submit an Application." Answer all questions accurately and click the "Submit" link at the end.

Need assistance or have questions? Contact Admissions & Records.

3. Check for Your Welcome Email

After you apply through CCCApply, you should receive an email from MPC within an hour with the subject: "Welcome to Monterey Peninsula College." Keep this email; it contains your nine-digit student ID, info about signing up for classes, and important messages.

4. Check for an Email: "Your MPC Account has been created"

After receiving the initial email from MPC, new students will receive a follow-up email within about an hour once their application is fully processed. This email will include instructions for accessing their Lobo Apps account. Continuing or returning students will also receive a follow-up email, but it will not include login credentials, as those were provided when they first applied.
