Student Fee Increase

The California State Budget, which was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on July 28, 2009, includes an enrollment fee increase from $20.00 per unit to $26.00 per unit. This fee increase is effective for the Fall 2009 semester.

If you have already registered for the Fall semester, you will now owe an additional $6.00 per unit. For updated information on the enrollment fees you currently owe, log on to http://www.laccd.edu/student_information/current_students.htm, and then click on “view and pay fees.”

If you have not registered yet, the $26.00 per unit enrollment fee will be assessed when you do register.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you but, unfortunately, the decision to raise fees was implemented after registration for the Fall semester had already begun.

 
Important Announcement on the Budget Crisis
The State of California budget has presented us with many challenges, but as we have all heard, the cuts to education will be very deep. All Community Colleges will face significant budget cuts that will impact the number of courses we offer this fall as well as future semesters.

For Fall semester, we will cancel courses with low enrollments, and the total number of courses we offer may be limited.

For these reasons we would like to offer the following advice:

  • Make sure you register early. Many students may need to add courses the first few days, and you will most likely face challenges in adding courses the first week through the instructor. Many instructors will already be over-enrolled, and cannot accommodate first day requests. Also, please know that if you drop a course you may not be able to add it again, as courses are filling up. Please register now.

  • Check the course schedule online regularly for the most current information. Go to: www.lamission.edu

  • Make sure that the email address you have on file at LA Mission is up to date. Cancellation notices are automatically sent to the email you have listed in your records. If that email address is not current you will not receive this information. Check your course schedule online regularly to see any course status changes. You may use the LA Community Colleges online system at: www.laccd.edu/student_information to update your email and check your current schedule.

  • Please do not register for more courses than you need as place holders or to give you an opportunity to “shop around” for a course. Courses that drop to very low enrollments during the first week of classes, due to students dropping courses, may be cancelled. Speak with your counselor to choose the courses you actually need to take.

  • Check special programs. If you are part of any special programs (EOPS, DSPS, etc.) it is important that you check with these offices now to make sure there have been no changes in your services.

  • Make sure you come to the first day of class. Instructors may drop all absent students the first day of classes, and your seat will be open to a another student and you may not be able to be re-enrolled.

Cash for College Event
