4 INCREASING ACCESS Dedicated to providing open access to higher education, MiraCosta College is breaking ground by expanding opportunities to complete a degree or certificate. MiraCosta removes barriers that many face when entering college. Our new approach creates additional opportunities for students to complete their education. Paying tuition is just one of the barriers students face. MiraCosta College embraces a holistic and seamless approach to student learning and success. It is our goal to support our students as they face personal, as well as academic barriers, which may hinder their ability to achieve their educational goals.

2O18–2O19 A N N UA L R EP O RT 5 FREE FIRST-TIME + FULL-TIME = 2 YEARS FREE COLLEGE Now, all first-time students enrolled in at least 12 units per semester at MiraCosta College are eligible to receive two years of college free. In addition, MiraCosta College provides a wide range of services and resources, such as academic counseling and educational planning. “We are here to support everyone looking for a better future by leveraging federal, state, private, and institutional resources,” explained MiraCosta College Board President Dr. David Broad. The MiraCosta Promise wouldn’t exist without funding from private donors. Our sincerest appreciation to Janice Gonzales for her ongoing financial contributions. Gonzales’ personal experience as a teacher and her husband’s journey to become a naturalized citizen is the basis of her continued support for the MiraCosta Promise. HUNGRY TO GIVE Bea Palmer, MiraCosta College’s service learning coordinator, not only organizes the food pantry, but personally supports the college through payroll giving. The employee payroll deduction program helps fund various initiatives at the college, such as the food pantry. Palmer has donated more than $19,000 since 2009. 23,O91 FOOD PANTRY total ACCESS 6,326 FARMERS MARKET total VISITS 1,799 CalFresh REFERRALS to Feeding San Diego

6 FINANCIAL AID, FAST, EASY. Students will have fewer forms to complete when applying for financial aid due to a new online application system that can be accessed by computer or mobile devices and provides immediate status updates. The MiraCosta College Financial Aid Office implemented a new software program that makes federal verification of files more efficient and allows for an expedited application process. As a result, financial aid staff should have more time to work with students individually and for campus outreach. Michael Dear, director of financial aid and scholarships, is not only breaking ground at MiraCosta, but also serves as a leader and advocate of students in the state in his role as president of the California Community Colleges Student Financial Aid Administrators Association.
