Learn About Open Enrollment
Our Open Enrollment policy makes it easy for students to apply and start taking classes at Mesa. Apart from a select number of programs in the Allied Health Department, we have a nonselective, noncompetitive, and inclusive admissions process. That means you will be able to enroll in any of our available classes as long as you have completed the required prerequisite courses and the class has not reached its capacity. Classes will have limited seats depending on the nature of the subject and available facilities.
