    Welcome to East Los Angeles College

     Welcome to the spring 2016 semester! Whether you are a new or continu-

    ing student, you will find positive changes on campus. A brand-new Stu-dent Center, set to open this semester, will bring much-needed space forexpansion of the Associated Student Union, the bookstore, and studentrecreational and study areas.

     A building you cannot possibly miss noticing is the new Student Successand Retention Center, standing five stories tall, directly across from theE7 Technology Center. This state-of-the-art facility is home to all the Lan-guage Arts—English, English as a Second Language, Modern Languages(formerly Foreign Languages), and Communication Studies—as well asthe Learning Resource Center, Chicana/o Studies, and the Honors Pro-gram. The Writing Center is in that building with greatly increased facili-ties to assist you with your papers. Something we haven’t had in manyyears, a modern, state-of-the-art Language Lab, is installed to serve both

    Modern Languages and ESL. These are exciting times for faculty, staff,and students who have been waiting so long for these facilities.

    Let me add something on a personal level. Many of you will find that at-tending college is another layer of stress on top of work and family re-sponsibilities. All of us at ELAC—administration, faculty, staff, and yourstudent peers—want you to know that help is available whether you needcrisis intervention, mental health counseling, or just someone to listen. Inthis schedule, you can find the telephone numbers and hours for the Stu-dent Health Center and the ELAC Women’s and Men’s Support Center.These offices can also put you in touch with many community resources.

     Whatever you are going through, be sure others are going through it too. A helping hand is there if you will reach out.

    I hope you will think of ELAC as part of your extended family, both whileyou are here and wherever your life takes you.

    ELAC 

    Spring  2016

    Community colleges get most of their money from thestate based on enrollment. Your fees cover only a frac-tion of the cost. Each class you enroll in results in com-pensation to the college from the state, and that is howthe college stays open.

    In the past a student could withdraw from the samecourse up to 4 times, and in addition repeat the courseup to two times to try to improve a grade of D or F. Inother words, you could get a “W” in the same course 4times and complete the course up to three times until

    attaining a grade of “C” or better.

    FROM NOW ON, A “W”COUNTS AS AN ATTEMPT AND YOU ONLY GET

    THREE ATTEMPTS AT ANY ONE COURSE. AFTER THAT, THE STATE WON’T PAY THE COLLEGEFOR YOU TO TAKE THE COURSE AGAIN.

    WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ELAC STUDENTS

    • If you stay in a course past the “no penalty”withdrawal date and then drop it or areexcluded, you receive a grade of “W” and youhave used up one of your three attempts.

    • When you have made three attempts at a class, withany combination of W, D, or F grades, you will not beable to register for the class again. You would haveto try to take the class again at a college outsidethe Los Angeles Community College District.

    • You may petition for one more try citing “extenuatingcircumstances;” however, for the most part theonly extenuating circumstances that are allowedare military deployment or natural disaster.

    • If your registration is blocked because of thisrule, getting an add permit will not help.

     WITHDRAWINGFROM A CLASSIS A SERIOUS DECISION

    WHAT YOU SHOULD DO• If you’re going to drop, drop before the deadline so you won’t get a “W”.

    • Be sure you’re academically ready for classes you enroll in.

    • See a counselor to help you make good decisions about your educational plan.

    New statewide

    regulations are now

    in effect that change the way students

    should think about

    enrolling in, and then

    withdrawing from

    classes.
