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.

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.

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 the Admissions & Records Office.

3. Check for Your Welcome Email

After you apply, you should receive an email 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.

Troubleshooting: Didn’t get the email?

Check your email spam and promotions folders.
Log in to your Open CCCApply account to check your application was complete and accepted.
Contact Admissions & Records for further help.

4. Check for Lobo App Email

After receiving the initial email, new students will receive an additional email with information on accessing their Lobo Apps Account. Continuing/returning students will also receive an additional email, but this will not include credentials as these were already sent when initially applying.

Didn't receive a second email? Reach out to websitesupport@mpc.edu for support.
