General Information

Registration Dates

For most classes open enrollment begins a week prior to the first day of class. At the Kennedy, Rinaldi, and San Fernando campuses registration is in the adult school offices. At other locations, students register in the classroom the first day of class. Enrollment continues until classes are full.

Enrollment Policy

Enrollment must be confirmed by attendance at the first class meeting. Under the continuous enrollment policy, vacancies at the first class meeting may be filled.

Termination of Classes

Classes will be terminated or combined if insufficient numbers of students are enrolled, or if the average attendance falls below the number required by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, or if budget constraints dictate this decision.

Statement of Civil Rights

All educational and vocational opportunities are offered without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, or handicap. A lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in educational and vocational programs.
