Matriculation (pronounced mah-trick-u-lay-shun) is an agreement between the student and Merced College.

• The college agrees to provide a step by step process to help you explore and choose classes and programs that will lead to your academic and career goals.
• You agree that you will follow the process in order to pursue your goals successfully.
• This agreement includes responsibilities for the student and for the college.
• It is expected that each student will become a matriculated student.

 A matriculated student is one who has:

• Fewer than 15 units completed at Merced College, and
• Completed the orientation, and
• Completed assessment testing, and
• Register for classes using your MC4ME Portal
• Or... has completed an Educational Plan, which is the plan of coursework you need to complete to achieve your certificate, degree or transfer goal. More information about educational planning is provided in the counseling section.
