ADMISSIONS & RECORDS

The Admissions Office can attempt to process it for you if you send an email to @email from your LACCD student email account. Use "Add Class" for a subject line and be sure to include student name, student number, course name, course number (5 digits), semester/year and permission number from the instructor (if necessary). You may also go to the Welcome Center Zoom for assistance in registering for classes through the student portal at https://laccd.zoom.us/j/3239532455. 

If the class has not yet started, access will be given the day the class begins. If enrolling after the class has started, Canvas will update for online classes within 2 hours of enrollment. To access your online class, log into the student portal at mycollege.laccd.edu and click on Canvas.  

Please note once the K-12 permission form is processed you may enroll into class. The High School student hold does not come off your record until you graduate, but we use other pages to process the permission form. You may enroll into the specific classes listed on the form. If you want to take classes that are not listed on your form, please submit a new K-12 permission form. A new form is required for every semester. 

You may submit your requests and petitions by email to admissions@lacitycollege.edu. All items to be processed must be emailed from the LACCD student email account.. We will reply to your email once processed.

First, follow the instructions on LACCD Email System. If unsuccessful, please go to the Welcome Center Live Chat zoom at https://laccd.zoom.us/j/3239532455, Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 6 pm  and Friday 8 am to 2 pm, or in person at the Welcome Center on the first floor of the Student Services Bldg. Let them know you need to reset access to your student email and they will assist you. Email access can take up to 24 hours to be restored. 

If you are having trouble with your student portal password, you can reset the password online in Zoom, in person, or by email. For Zoom, go to Welcome Center live chat Zoom at https://laccd.zoom.us/j/3239532455, Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 6 pm  and Friday 8 am to 2 pm, or in person at the Welcome Center on the first floor of the Student Services Bldg. For email, please send your name, student number, and photo ID card to @email to request password reset.

To enroll in a course for the fourth time, a student must complete a Fourth Attempt Petition Form and submit to the Admissions and Records within the specified deadlines.

To clear a prerequisite, email Academic Counseling at @email and put in the subject line "Your Name - Student ID# - the LACC course(s) you intend to take." Please attach a copy of your transcript (unofficial is acceptable) that clearly shows the college name, your name, the course title, the term taken, and the final grade received. If you already had your transcript sent to LACC, you can mention that in your email.

The most convenient way to pay your student fees is on your student portal.

You may also pay your fees in person at the college Business Office during business hours. The college Business Office will accept credit card, debit card, cash, money order, and USD cashier's checks only. For all in-person payments, you will need to provide your student ID number and a driver's license.

If you must pay in person on campus with credit or debit card, you may do so at a computer workstation in the campus Welcome Center.

Under normal circumstances, a Withdrawal (W) cannot be removed on a student’s permanent record. However, the student may petition to have a Withdrawal (W) be removed if a student withdrew from the course under any of the following circumstances:

• Discriminatory treatment
• Retaliation for alleging discriminatory treatment
• Remaining in the course would subject the student to discriminatory treatment

If a student wishes to petition the removal of a Withdrawal (W) based on the above circumstances, a General Petition form with supporting documentation must be submitted to Admissions and Records. (Title 5, C.C.R., Section 55024 (a) (8))
