Mira Costa College Board Policy 7800 requires all associate faculty employees to maintain and permanently reside in a principal place of residence in the state of California that is within two-hundred (200) road miles from the employee’s regularly assigned district worksite. Associate faculty who have a fully online assignment must reside within the state of California but may live beyond 200 miles from their designated District worksite without an exception.

The District may consider an individual request to temporarily reside outside of the state or outside the 200‑mile limit on a case‑by‑case basis, not to exceed twelve consecutive months.
