r/CommunityColleges

Hey so I’m an incoming community college student that recently graduated high school and I never really thought about applying for scholarships since I was busy with schoolwork and making sure I was gonna graduate and then the ceremony itself. I thought most scholarships were for four year uni students so I was and am still planning on applying to the laccd scholarships that will be available. But I was wondering if there were any scholarships I could still apply to with July deadlines or August deadlines. I also plan to apply to scholarships in the fall when i’m already in commmunity college. If it helps, I live in los angeles, california. I am a mexican first gen student and i dont really know what i want to do so im undecided but leaning torwards urban design.

Hey y'all, I need a reality check. I’m enrolling in a fully online program at a Technical Community College , but they put an identity hold on my financial aid and being able to sign up for classes (basically registration)
The enrollment specialist is insisting I must come to campus in-person just to show my ID (driver's license or state ID) to clear it. I live over 50 miles away, so this is a 2-hour round trip just to show someone a document for 5 seconds. Their virtual lobby keeps glitching and locking me out, which is why they are pushing the drive.
Has anyone else dealt with a school forcing an online student to drive this far for an ID check? Is there a workaround? Also, if I do go, do they accept LA Wallet (the digital ID app), or do they strictly demand a physical plastic card?

I took my English Accuplacer test scored a 243 needed 250 any tips on how to study I need to pass it with a 250 higher and the writing test as well If you guys know how to study for it and tell me I will be much appreciated

I know this is super last minute, but I start college next month and I just realized I don’t have anything for my dorm yet. I posted a registry hoping to get a few basics, but no one has been able to buy anything yet. I’m honestly desperate to at least have some essentials like bedding, toiletries, and school supplies so I’m not walking in empty-handed. Even sharing my registry or helping in any small way would mean so much to me right now.

So I registered for classes at Sierra College starting Fall 2026 at a counseling office but I just recently checked my schedule to see what was my first day of class is but all my classes say dropped even though I haven't started them or touched my schedule since registering for them with help of the office. Is this a normal process for all schedules??

Hi guys I was originally committed to my local uni, SDSU, however I might withdraw bc of I’m redrawing my path for nursing. I preferably don’t wanna have to do ABSN so I can get in the field quicker and save myself from potential debt. So I’m instead planning to get prereq for ADN and go from there eventually to RN-BSN.

Should I withdraw and start applying to community colleges? I know applying this late will leave slim pickings for class but maybe I could get some prereqs.
