Make the most of being a college student

Being a Moreno Valley College student affords you several benefits, from access to free services, discounted software and hardware, as well as free public transportation and access to select on-campus events. Many of these benefits are paid for with your student services fee, which is part of your tuition. 

Associated Students of Moreno Valley College

The Associated Students of Moreno Valley College (ASMVC) is funded through your student services fee. ASMVC relies on your contributions each term to provide unique discounts and experiences to MVC students, fund student clubs and organizations, and support qualifying students through grants and scholarships. While you have the right to waive this additional, many benefits may become unavailable to students who have chosen to waive their student services fee.
