The Office of Student Services

The Office of Student Services oversees the many support services Los Angeles Mission College offers to its students, from financial aid and counseling to health care and tutoring. At LAMC, student services are all about helping you succeed and feel at home as an Eagle! From the moment you start your journey here, you have access to a wide range of support. The Welcome Center is your go-to place for any questions about getting started. They have special programs for first-year students, like the LA Promise Program, to help you transition smoothly into college life.

Need academic help? The Learning Resource Center and the TRIO Student Support Services offer tutoring, study skills workshops, and more. Academic counseling is available to guide you in choosing the right classes and planning your future. If you're looking to transfer to a four-year university, the Transfer Center has all the resources you need.

For personal and career development, there are workshops, job opportunities, and internships through the Career Services. Special programs also support veterans, students with disabilities, and those in need of basic essentials. No matter what, there's a resource ready to help you thrive at LAMC! We’re excited to have you join the LA Mission College family and soar as an Eagle!​
