A new/returning student is someone who did not enroll in any school in the Los Angeles Community College District within the last two semesters. New and returning students are REQUIRED to submit an application for admission BEFORE an online registration appointment is issued. Normally, it takes at least 15 working/business-days to process an application for admission. Please note that Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, Winter and Spring Break are NOT working days.

Additional Information about the Los Angeles Community College District student identification number:
Generally, you can find out what your student identification number is IF you provided your Social Security Number when you submitted your application for admission. Former students may access the Student Information System to view their records; however, in order to register for classes former students are required to apply for admission.
