Are you interested in earning a degree, certificate, or transferring to a university? Complete a College Credit Application to start or continue your education at LAMC.
Are you interested in noncredit options like ESL courses? Complete the Noncredit Application to enroll in noncredit/zero-unit courses only.
If you are a high school student looking for concurrent enrollment, you will need to complete an Admissions Application AND a K-12 Application.
If you are an international student (F-1 visa), use the International Student Application, and contact our International Student Office at @email for more information regarding the admissions process.
Step 2
Log Into Your Student Portal
A few days after you complete your application, you will receive a welcome email from Mission College that will provide your Student ID Number. You will need a Student ID Number to log into the Student Portal.
Your Student Portal allows you to:
- Access your assigned student email account
- Check your registration appointment date
- Add and drop classes
- See your class schedule and grades
- Pay your fees
- View your unofficial transcripts
First Time Login
Follow these instructions only if this is your FIRST time logged into the Student Portal. Review the information below to learn how to use your Student Login Name and the Default Password Format:
Example student ID’s: 881234567 or 901234567
All student default passwords consist of:
- 88@
- + the first character of your last name (capitalized)
- + the month and day of your birthdate (MMDD)
For Example, Jane Doe, who was born on July 4th, their default password would be: 88@D0704
Don't forget to change your password to something more memorable once you log in!
