WELCOME TO EAST LOS ANGELES COLLEGEWelcome, students! I congratulate you on keeping your education a priority in theseunprecedented times. As you know, almost all of our classes are being taught virtually,using the Canvas Learning Management System. I know working from home can bechallenging. Our fine faculty, staff, and administrators, whether in academics, careerpreparation, or Student Services, are available to help you cope with your challenges.They are also working from home, and have experienced challenges themselves!Our campus may be closed for now, but East Los Angeles College is definitely openfor business. Financial Aid, Counseling, Admissions & Records, DSP&S, and all the otherservices are ready to assist you virtually. A good place to start is our Welcome and SupportResource Center, found at rtResource-Center. Student clubs are still active, as is your Associated Student Union.Your classes may require (virtual) group meetings (synchronous), or they maybe set up for you to do your work on your own schedule, or they may haveelements of both. I recommend you pay attention to the schedule listing, asit will state whether there are synchronous attendance requirements. Pleasestay as engaged as possible with your learning. Ask your professor if you havequestions or concerns—if they can’t answer, they will know who can.Most importantly, please follow all the state and localguidelines for avoiding infection. Stay safe!Alberto J. Román, DPAInterim President, East Los Angeles College

Spring 2021 Schedule of ClassesWITHDRAWING FROM A CLASS IS A SERIOUS DECISIONFROM NOW ON, A “W” COUNTS AS ANATTEMPT AND YOU ONLY GET THREEATTEMPTS AT ANY ONE COURSE.NEW STATEWIDEREGULATIONS ARE NOWIN EFFECT THAT CHANGETHE WAY STUDENTSSHOULD THINK ABOUTENROLLING IN, ANDTHEN WITHDRAWINGFROM CLASSES.AFTER THAT, THE STATE WON’T PAY THECOLLEGE FOR YOU TO TAKE THE COURSEAGAIN.WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ELAC STUDENTS If you stay in a course past the “no penalty” withdrawal date andthen drop it or are excluded, you receive a grade of “W” and youhave used up one of your three attempts. When you have made three attempts at a class, with any combination of W, D, or F grades, you will not be able to register forthe class again. You would have to try to take the class again ata college outside the Los Angeles Community College District. You may petition for one more try citing “extenuating circumstances;” however, for the most part the only extenuating circumstances that are allowed are military deployment or naturaldisaster. If your registration is blocked because of this rule, getting an addpermit will not help.Community colleges get most of their money from the statebased on enrollment. Your fees cover only a fraction of the cost.Each class you enroll in results in compensation to the collegefrom the state, and that is how the college stays open.In the past a student could withdraw from the same course up to4 times, and in addition repeat the course up to two times to try toimprove a grade of D or F. In other words, you could get a “W” in thesame course 4 times and complete the course up to three timesuntil attaining a grade of “C” or better.WHAT YOU SHOULD DO If you’re going to drop, drop before the deadline so you won’t geta “W”. Be sure you’re academically ready for classes you enroll in. See a counselor to help you make good decisions about youreducational plan.3
