Plan now to get the classes you need
Due to unprecedented state budget cuts, you may find that it's more difficult than it used to be to get the classes you need. LMC rarely eliminates classes completely, but you will find a reduction in the number of sections offered. Since there is no way of knowing how long the budget crisis will last, it is very important that you plan carefully and well in advance for upcoming terms. And be sure to enroll early!

The good news? You will still find the classes you need to transfer to CSU and UC campuses, and to complete career and technical programs — and the same excellent quality in instruction and services.

Enrollment fee increase goes into effect Fall 2011 semester
The California enrollment fees will now be $36 per unit.
