SAT scores are not a requirement for enrollment to Los Angeles City College. (These scores are used for students who will transfer directly to four-year universities upon high school graduation.)
Below are the steps to get you on the road to becoming a successful student at LACC.
If you are unclear of a course that your counselor has approved we will be glad to assist you in the General Counseling Center (SSB-1st Floor).
