The State of California mandates that all of our
offerings be completely supported by enrollment
fees. This helps ensure that your educational
needs and positive experiences are our top
priority. That also means that from time to time,
we have to cancel a class that does not have
enough enrollments. Classes cancelled by us are
eligible for full refunds and students may always
opt to transfer their payment toward another class.
Help us avoid cancellations and guarantee your
spot – register early and register a friend! Refunds
are processed as quickly as possible. Refunds for
cash payments may require up to 30 working days.
Release & Waivers
When attending a class trip off-campus, LACC
requires all participants carry medical/accident
insurance, and does not provide this coverage. All
participants are required to sign a liability waiver
prior to departure.
Refunds & Transfers: Choose
your classes carefully!
All requests for refunds more than two days before
the start of class are subject to a $10 cancellation/
processing fee. Because enrollment numbers
determine whether a class is cancelled, there are
no refunds for requests made after the 2-day-priorto-class mark. Transfers and credits for future use
may be available minus a processing fee at our
discretion. There are no refunds for transferred
enrollments or credits.
Supplies & Equipment
Minimum enrollment is required to run classes.
Please confirm class status before purchasing any
supplies or renting any equipment.
Classes for Kids
A Release and Medical Consent form will be sent
along with your confirmation letter. Complete and
return this form to the instructor at the first class.
Go to communityservices.lacitycollege.edu, and
a copy of the release form will be included at the
time of registration.
