Program Changes During
Late Add Period
Registration With Late Add Codes
No course may be added after the late
registration period. Check with instructors or
with Admissions & Records Office for summer
class registration deadlines.
An instructor’s approval is required to register in a
class that has reached maximum enrollment or has
already started. First priority for late adds will go
to students on the wait lists. Late registration may
be processed as follows:
• ByWeb—Gotowww.losmedanos.eduandlogin
to WebAdvisor. Select “Late Registration (using late
add code)” and enter the course section number and
late add code;
or
• In-Person—BringlateaddcodetotheAdmissions
& Records Office or the Brentwood Center by the
last day to add.
Note: Telephone Registration is no longer available.
Drops/No Shows
Students who do not attend the first class meeting
may be dropped by the instructor as a “no show.”
However, it is the student’s responsibility to drop
any class which he/she is not planning to attend.
Failure to do so may result in an ‘F’ grade and
a debt on the student’s account. Non-attendance
does not dismiss the debt. Students must drop
classes within refund deadlines to receive a refund.
Since summer session is so short, the refund
period may be the first day of the class, or the
day before the first day. Please be sure you are
aware of the deadlines for your class.
Since drop deadlines will vary (with or without a
refund) de pend ing upon the length of the course,
students should inquire in the Admissions &
Records Office about these timelines or ask the
course instructor. Drop dates are also listed on
WebAdvisor under My Class Schedule.
Closed and Cancelled Classes
Any class may be closed to further registration
when it reaches the maximum size. Additionally,
if registration is insufficient in any class, it may be
cancelled. For information regarding refunds for
cancelled classes, see the refund policy.
Outstanding Debts
If you have an outstanding debt on your record, you
will be blocked from registration, from obtaining
copies of academic transcripts, and/or receiving your
diploma until all debts are cleared.
Enrollment fee and nonresident tuition debts may
be paid at the Cashier’s Office, the Admissions &
Records Office or the Brentwood Center. Library
or Child Study Center debts must be paid at the
Cashier’s Office.
Residency
For purposes of establishing enrollment fees, students
are identified as either residents or non-res i dents.
• Residents: those who have lived in Cal i for nia as
legal residents for at least one year prior to the
first day of a new se mes ter and who can dem-
on strate in tent to remain a Cal i for nia resident.
Non-citizens who meet res i den cy re quire ments
and who desire to enroll as a Cal i for nia res i dent
must provide doc u men ta tion from USCIS.
• Non-residents: those who do not meet the
California resident re quire ments. See page 6
regarding tuition for non-Cal i for nia residents.
Nonresident Tuition Exemption
In 2001 the California legislature passed a law
(AB 540) that exempts certain categories of students
from paying nonresident tuition. To be eligible,
you must have completed at least three years of high
school and have graduated (or earned a high school
equivalency) while living and attending school
in California.
If you believe you are eligible for this special
exemption, submit the California Nonresident Tuition
Exemption Request form to the Admissions & Records
Office for review. The form is available online
at www.losmedanos.edu or at the Admissions &
Records Office or Brentwood Center.
Special Admit High School Students
Students who are 14 years of age and older or those
who have completed the eighth grade or higher are
eligible for concurrent enrollment as ‘special admit’
students. High school students may register in up
to seven (7) units in fall and spring terms or five
(5) units of college coursework in the summer with
approval of their school principal and parent*. With
appropriate approvals, special admit students may
register in advanced academic and vocational credit
courses (degree applicable courses only).
Students 14 – 15 years of age and/or special admit
students requesting to register in more than the unit

limit are required to complete the online orientation.
Signatures for approval must be submitted at the
time of registration on an Age Waiver Form or Unit
Limit Waiver Form.
* Important Note: By giving consent, parents of
concurrently enrolled high school students agree
they understand that the college is an adult learning
environment and students are expected to behave
accordingly. Additionally, they understand that
classes will be taught at the college level and the
curriculum and college procedures will not be
modified nor will other accommodations be made.
Special Admit Enrollment Policies
Concurrently enrolled high school students may
register in college courses with submission of a
college application and proper approval forms
on a space-available basis. Registration for high
school students must be completed in-person on
designated registration dates or anytime later (see
registration dates on page 2). Required forms that
must be submitted each term/semester: online
college application, (if you have been away two
semesters or longer) a Special Admit Enrollment
form, and if applicable, an
Age Waiver Form or Unit Limit Waiver Form.
Special admit students should bring
documentation to verify prerequisites (if required)
at the time of registration (see ‘Prerequisite/
Advisories’ next column). Note that registration
in English and some math classes require
completion of the LMC assessment test prior
to registration. Students can sign up online at
www.losmedanos.edu for a testing appointment.*
* Pittsburg Assessment- CC2-256 (2nd level)
Brentwood Assessment- Brentwood Center, Rm 11
Special Admit Orientation
Students 14 – 15 years of age or high school students
wishing to appeal the unit limit must participate in
a special admit orientation and request approval
from a manager. View the orientation online at
www.losmedanos.edu/orientation. Print a “Certificate
of Completion” at the end of the orientation and
bring all the forms to Admissions & Records to
request approval.
Open Course Policy
Every course is open for registration to any person
admitted to the college who meets the course
prerequisites and en roll ment pro ce dures.
All courses are offered for college credit;
au dit ing is not permitted.
Duplicate or Conflicting Courses
Students are not permitted to register in more than
one section of the same course and may not register
in courses that have scheduled meeting times
which conflict.
Prerequisites/Advisories
Note: Some courses have pre req ui sites or
advisories in clud ed with the course de scrip tion.
These are designated to assist students in the
selection of course levels for their
maximum success.
Important: To ensure proper placement,
prerequisites for all classes will be checked at
the time of registration. If you have taken a
prerequisite course at an institution other than
LMC, you should request to have an official
transcript sent to the LMC Admissions & Records
Office prior to registration or bring a transcript
with you for purposes of verification.
Prerequisites may be challenged through the end
of the fifth business day of the term. Prerequisite
Challenge forms are available through the
Admissions & Records Office at the Pittsburg
campus only. Students must provide sufficient
documentation to substantiate satisfaction of the
prerequisite in other means. Once accepted, the
student will be conditionally enrolled and the
department chair will review the student’s request.
If approved, the student will remain in the class;
if denied, the student will be dropped from the
class for lack of prerequisite and enrollment fees
will be refunded.
References to “successful completion” implies
with a grade of ‘C’ or better. Courses in progress
outside the district will not be accepted as
prerequisites. Advisories are recommendations only
and need not be verified.
Wait List
Once courses with a wait list fill to their maximum
ca pac i ty, you have the option to add your name to
a priority listing in the event drops should occur
or the instructor agrees to add late enrollees (at the
first class meet ing).
Important Wait List Details
1. All corequisites or pre req ui sites must be met
before being placed on a wait list.
2. Once you have added your name to a wait list,
you can check your status (i. e. you are now # 2
of 5 students on the list) by going into “Manage
My Waitlist” on WebAdvisor. You should check
your status on WebAdvisor frequently to
allow yourself the maximum amount of time to
register, in the event permission is granted prior
to the start of instruction (includes weekends
and holidays).
3. If space becomes available in your wait list
course, you will receive notification to your
Insite email account that permission has been
granted to register. The message will be sent
by email or you can access the information by
checking “Manage My Wait List”. All wait
list notification will be sent to the student’s
college email account. Please check it
frequently if you are on a wait list.
Summer 2013 | Enroll Online www.losmedanos.edu | 5
4. Once permission is granted, you will have
three calendar days to register in the class via
WebAdvisor (or in-person). After three days,
if you have not registered in the class, your
name will be removed from the wait list and
the next student on the list will be notified that
he/she is eligible to fill the open seat. Once
your name is removed from the list, you no
longer have priority status.
5. If you are on a wait list at the start of
instruction, you must attend the first class
meeting to see if there is space avail able for late
enrollment. If you do not attend the first class,
you lose your place on the priority listing and
another student may be added in stead.
If approved, the instructor will give you a
unique late-add code. The code must be
entered on WebAdvisor by the end of the late
registration period. Your registration is not
complete until your add code is processed.
Please note: Beginning with the first day of
instruction, the option to have your name placed on
a wait list is no longer available.
Transfer of Credit
If you have previous college ex pe ri ence and
would like to transfer other college credit to
LMC, you must request an official college
transcript to be sent to the LMC Admissions
and Records Office (Note: not required if
prior coursework is within the CCCCD.) Your
previous coursework will then be evaluated for
pre req ui site and equivalent course in for ma tion.
A full evaluation will be completed as needed for
counseling appointments or with submission of a
Petition to Graduate. Students may also request
an evaluation by using the form online.

Student Fee Refund Information
Student Fee and Enrollment Refunds
Fee refunds for students who withdraw from school
or drop classes by the deadline for class add/drop will
be automatically calculated at the District Accounting
Department. Refund checks for complete or partial
withdrawals from school will be processed after the first
two weeks of instruction. Refund checks will be mailed
to the student address on file in the college Admissions
Office. If the student paid by credit card on WebAdvisor,
the refund will be processed as a credit to the credit card.
Don’t be left behind! If you have a new address,
please update your address in WebAdvisor
immediately! This needs to done prior to the time
of withdrawal or change of program.
A refund will not be made if the student has other
outstanding debts to the college. Refund checks
will be issued monthly after the first two weeks of
instruction each semester. All refund checks will be
made payable to the student whether paid by cash,
check, money order, cashier’s check or credit card.
No refund of the enrollment fee will be made to any
student who withdraws from classes after the first
two weeks of instruction for a full semester class, or
after 10% of the class time for a short-term class. An
example, a 10-day course would need to be dropped in
just one day! And a one-day course would need to be
dropped the day before the course.
Students who register and subsequently drop all classes
prior to the beginning of the semester may petition for
an early refund at the Cashier’s Office.
Important Note: You will NOT be automatically
dropped from classes based on non-attendance or non-
payment of fees. Failure to drop your course may result
in a failing grade and a debt on your record.
All outstanding debts must be paid in full. Unpaid debts will
result in a registration and transcript hold on student records.

grade to denote the student’s degree of success.
The grade, as submitted by the instructor, shall be
considered final and permanent. Grades cannot be
changed by submitting additional course work or
taking examinations after the semester (or term)
is com plet ed. Under state law, the in struc tor’s
determination is final unless the grade given was
the result of 1) mistake, 2) fraud, 3) bad faith, or 4)
incompetency. (Ed. Code Section 76224.)
No grade may be challenged more than one year
after the end of the session in which the grade was
as signed. For information on the policy regarding
grade chal leng es, contact the Office of Student Life,
GA Building, ext. 3266.

Student will not re-enroll in the course to
complete pending as sign ments, projects or
exams. A final grade is assigned when the work
has been com plet ed or after one year, unless a
petition for time extension has been approved
by the Director of Admissions and Records and
the instructor.
Pass/No-Pass Grade Option:
The purpose of the Pass/No Pass (P/NP) option
is to allow stu dents to take challenging courses
while avoiding undue concern for their grade
point averages. Students who select this option are,
however, expected to complete the course, comply
with attendance re quire ments, and comply with all
other re quire ments of the course.
Selected courses have been labeled with (Student
Choice) “SC” to indicate student choice for the
‘P/NP’ option. If students do not choose the ‘P/NP’
option before the deadline, they will be issued a letter
grade for the course. It is often best to discuss this
choice with a coun se lor.
In order to exercise this option, a petition must be
filed with the Admissions and Records Office at the
time of registration or no later than the deadline.
Petitions for sum mer session and short-term courses
must be filed within the first thirty percent of the
course. After the deadline has passed, the grading
choice may not be reversed.

Probation & Dismissal
Probation and dismissal status is based on coursework
that is attempted and completed within the Contra
Costa Community College District. Students should
be aware that their academic standing is not based
solely on LMC units.
Academic Probation: Cu mu la tive GPA under 2.0
with 12 or more cu mu la tive units attempted.
Removal from Academic Pro ba tion: Cumulative
GPA 2.0 or better.
Academic Dismissal Status: Three consecutive
semesters of Ac a dem ic Probation unless most recent
se mes ter GPA is 2.0 or higher.
Progress Probation: With 12 or more cumulative
units completed, 50 percent or more are W, I, and/
or NP.
Removal from Progress Pro ba tion: Cumulative units
completed are more than 50 percent of cumulative
units attempted.
Progress Dismissal Status: Three consecutive semesters
of Progress Probation unless most recent se mes ter student
completes 50 percent or more of attempted units.
Course Repetition
Courses are not repeatable unless noted within the course
descriptions listed in the catalog. Students may repeat
a non-repeatable course only to alleviate a substandard
grade of D, F or NC/NP.
Students are limited to enrolling in credit classes a
maximum of three times. This includes students earning
substandard grades or dropping with a “W.” Students
will be notified upon registration, if they are enrolling
for a second time. Students enrolling for a third time will
be blocked from registration and required to submit a
petition to repeat. Students are urged to manage course
load and be aware of the number of enrollments for a
specific course. Carefully consider dropping courses and
understand all deadlines. Take advantage of tutoring and
other support services to achieve successful completion
of all courses.
When a course is repeated to alleviate a substandard
grade, the previous grade will be disregarded in
computing the student’s grade point average. The
substandard grade will remain on the student’s transcript
with a notation that the course has been repeated.
Courses that are repeatable are noted in the college
catalog with the number of repeats allowed. Students
may not repeat a course beyond the maximum repeats,
even to alleviate substandard grades.
Course repetition cannot be used to make up an
incomplete ‘I’ grade.
Withdrawals
• Studentswhohavedocumentedextenuating
circumstances such as accidents, illness or other
circumstances beyond the control of the student,
may apply for a withdrawal after the 75 percent of
the term.
• A‘W’shallnotbeassignedifthestudentwithdraws
due to the impact of fire, flood or other
extraordinary conditions (petition required).
• Inthecaseofdiscriminatorytreatmentorretaliation
for discriminatory treatment a ‘W’ shall not
be assigned.
• Activeorreservemilitarystudentswhoreceiveorders
compelling a withdrawal from courses will receive a
military withdrawal which shall not be counted in
the limit of withdrawals or progress probation.
Repeat of Biology Courses
Students who have received two substandard grades or ‘W’s
or any combination in the same Biology 40, 45 or 50 course
will be blocked from future enrollment in that course.
Students may appeal the policy using the Petition for Course
Repetition form.
Academic Renewal Without
Course
Repetition
Based on the Academic Renewal Policy, substandard
grades may be disregarded if they are not reflective
of a student’s demonstrated academic ability. If
Academic Renewal is approved, the student’s
permanent record will be notated with appropriate
comments and the substandard (D, F, NC/NP) unit
values will not be computed in the cumulative grade
point average. The renewed courses and the related
grades will not be removed from the record, as the
district is required to show a complete and accurate
academic record for every student (Title 5, Section
55046).
Students MUST meet with a counselor to review
options for Academic Renewal, as this procedure is
irreversible.
4. The student may only utilize Academic Renewal
one time in the district.
5. Only substandard grades may be renewed.
6. Immediately following the course work with
substandard grades, the student must have
completed at least 20 units* with ‘C’ grades or
better from LMC or any other accredited college
or university. (*The unit count begins the
semester after the substandard grade is received.)
Summer 2013 | Enroll Online www.losmedanos.edu | 33
Enrollment and Degree Verifications
7. Academic renewal may be applied for up to 24
units. District courses can be combined up to the
maximum of 24 units however, each college must
adjust the academic record for courses completed
through that location. An Academic Renewal
request form should be submitted for each college.
8. Courses/related grades that have already been
removed from the cumulative grade point average
based on course repetition will not be renewed.
9. There is no time limit for academic renewal.

TRANSFER DEGREES
Are you aware about our new transfer degrees?
LMC has four new degrees especially designed for those
who are seeking to transfer to a four-year college.
• Associate of Arts in Communication Studies for Transfer (AA-T)
• Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education for Transfer (AS-T)
• Associate of Arts in Psychology for Transfer (AA-T)
• Associate of Arts in Sociology for Transfer (AA-T)
• Associate of Arts in Theatre Arts for Transfer (AA-T)
NEW
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections
66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who
completes an “associate degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered
at a California community college. The associate in arts for transfer (AA-T) or the associate in science for transfer (AS-T) is
intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing
these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In
order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable
coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be
required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated
“high-unit” major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus
or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should
consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more
information on university admission and transfer requirements. For more
information, please see a counselor or visit www.losmedanos.edu.
