Course Repeatablility Information for Students 

Effective Fall 2013, state regulations governing California community colleges will change with respect to repeatable courses. Active participatory courses (such as physical education, visual arts, and performing arts) that are related in content are limited in the number of enrollments.  Most individual courses that were previously repeatable no longer are and further restrictions apply to physical education, music, art and drama courses.  If a course has substantially the same content as another course in the District, it cannot be repeated at any other college within the District. The new policy extends retroactively to the student's entire history within the Contra Costa Community College District.   More information

The LMC Honors Program is accepting new student applications!  Do you want to transfer to a top university (i.e. CAL, UCLA, etc.) and be prepared to excel once you get there?  Do you want to learn in small classes with other intellectually curious and vibrant students?  We have partnerships with fine colleges and universities to offer Scholarships to LMC Honors students.   

Honors Program members commit to taking advanced honors courses taught by dynamic professors.  These courses are more challenging, but provide an enriched experience -- and universities like to see honors courses listed on your transcript!  Most honors students take two honors courses per year, which is very manageable.   

Honors students enjoy lots of great social and enrichment events, leadership opportunities in the Honors Club and tons of fun! To qualify, you must have an overall college GPA of 3.25 or higher and an A or B grade in English 90, 100, 221 or 230, or assessment placement into English 100.  For more information, check out the Honors Program website and come to the Honors Center to talk with students and Honors Co-Directors Jeannine Stein and Jennifer Saito.
