All LACCD colleges including Pierce College are moving to a new Student Information System (SIS) reached by a central Student Portal. It allows students a single sign-on for all our systems for a much-improved experience.  To begin,      

Pierce College’s district, Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), introduces the L.A. College Promise, which will provide one year of free enrollment at an LACCD college to all full-time qualifying students graduating from Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) and charter high schools.

Pierce encourages high school students in the class of 2017 to learn more about the Promise on our website at www.piercecollege.edu/promise.

To qualify, a student must

• Be a 2017 high school graduate of LAUSD or a charter high school
• Complete the Los Angeles Pierce Application
• Complete Orientation, Assessment, and Counseling (OAC)
• Complete an application for financial aid (FAFSA or CA Dream Act)
• Attend a summer transition program
• Enroll as a full-time student Fall 2017 & Spring 2018

The L.A. College Promise is a partnership between the LACCD, LAUSD, City of Los Angeles, LA Chamber of Commerce, UNITE LA and private philanthropy. It benefits the city and region by creating a college-going culture and responding to the workforce readiness gaps in California.

LACCD Chancellor Francisco Rodriguez stated the L.A. College Promise initiative could be the most comprehensive and effective student completion strategy that our districts can offer. Included in this program are priority enrollment, placement in math and English courses required to succeed in college, and career support and counseling. The program’s goal is to increase the number of community college graduates, university transfers, and workforce-ready students in our region.

Los Angeles Pierce College is one of nine comprehensive colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD), the largest community college district in the nation.  Our students strive to earn college degrees and certificates, but many find they are burdened by work and family obligations that make it difficult to complete their goals. On September 14, LACCD teamed with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Second Lady Jill Biden to announce a new program called the Los Angeles College Promise, forging the way for more local students to become college graduates.

LACCD Board of Trustees President Scott Svonkin said that the LACCD is working with the business community to support our high school students and all area residents who want to challenge themselves or enhance their career objectives with additional training.
