The Quad has seen a lot of change over the years, but one thing has stayed the same: generations of students making Merced College their own.

Different faces. Different stories. Same place where so many journeys have taken shape.

Since 1962, we’ve been here. So you can get there.

Blue Devils, let’s get the semester off to a Smart Start!

The Smart Start Course Materials Program helps make sure you have access to the required materials you need for class. Students are automatically enrolled when registering for courses, with digital materials available through Canvas and physical materials available for pickup at the bookstore, when applicable.

Smart Start can save students up to 60% off retail prices and makes getting your course materials a little easier.

Important Deadline: The Smart Start opt-out deadline for 16-week classes is Sunday, September 6.

Learn more about Smart Start, accessing your materials and opt-out options:

Learning happens everywhere at Merced College!

From classrooms and labs to outdoor spaces across campus, our Blue Devils are learning, connecting, collaborating and working toward their goals.

Since Merced College opened its doors in 1962, generations of faculty and staff have shared a commitment to putting students at the center of everything we do.

Today, our seven CORE values continue that legacy and guide how we support our students—one student, one interaction at a time.
