• Are 18 years of age or older, or
• Possess either (1) a high school diploma from a U.S. regionally accredited high school or from a foreign high school; or (2) a GED, California High School Certificate of Proficiency (CHSPE), or the equivalent (e.g., a HiSET score report; a TASC [Test Assessing Secondary Completion] score report), or

• Are a qualifying younger student who has completed 8th grade, and is participating in SMC’s Concurrent Enrollment program (see smc.edu/hsce for details), and
• You meet the residency requirements, and can profit from the program.

Please Note:
All official communication from Santa Monica College will be sent to students at their SMC student email address (last name_first name@student.smc.edu). You can check your student email account by logging into Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc and clicking on the SMC Mail icon. Be sure to check your SMC student email often!

Continuing students do NOT have to reapply for admission. If you have never attended Santa Monica College (new student), or have been away for two or more consecutive semesters (returning student), or applied to SMC but did not actually enroll in a class, you must first:

• File an application for admission online (go to smc.edu/apply and click on “New Students,” then click on “Apply to SMC” to get started);
• At least four weeks before the start of the session, arrange for transcripts of previous college work (or high school work, if no college work was completed) to be sent directly to the Admissions Office. Copies issued to a student (even if in a sealed envelope) will NOT be accepted.

You will be emailed an admission letter. Please review it for information on resident status for tuition/fee purposes, any outstanding admission issues, orientation, placement, education planning/counseling, and enrollment.

All regularly admitted first-time SMC students are required to complete the math and English placement process (or the ESL placement process), complete the online college orientation, and prepare an education plan (see smc.edu/myedplan for details). Once done, you will be able to enroll for classes through Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc on the date and time of your enrollment.

Santa Monica College defines an “international student” as a student attending the College while in F-1 or F-2 visa status. The international student application is available online (go to smc.edu/iapp). Please visit smc.edu/international for additional information about the application process and deadline dates, tuition and fees, and support services for F-1 and F-2 students. For the fall 2023 semester, applications for out-of-country applicants must be submitted by July 15, 2023; and applications for in-country applicants who already have an F-1 or F-2 visa must be submitted by August 1, 2023.

• If you have F-1 status from another school, you may enroll at SMC on a limited basis. Please consult with the International Education Center.
• If you have another type of visa status (not F-1 or F-2), you may enroll through the Admissions Office. However, if you are currently on a B visa, you cannot enroll until you change status to a visa with education privileges. Please contact the International Education Center for details.

Santa Monica College is approved as an institution for higher learning for veterans and veterans’ dependents entitled to education assistance from the Veterans Administration (VA). SMC cooperates with the VA in helping veterans, and offers academic, career, and transfer counseling, as well as priority enrollment, tutoring, and other services to support veterans in achieving their education goals.

If you wish to attend SMC under one of the veterans’ assistance bills, please see the information and instructions at smc.edu/vet or consult a counselor in the Veterans Success Center.

Eligible nonresident veterans may qualify to pay resident fees. Consult with a Veterans Success Center counselor or with the Admissions and Records Office for details.

If you wish to use the special counseling services provided through the Center for Students with Disabilities, call 310-434-4265.

Printed SMC materials are available in alternate media upon request. To request publications in alternate formats for disability accommodation, send email to DSCcontact@smc.edu or call 310-434-4265. This Schedule of Classes is also available online (see smc.edu/schedules).

If you were dismissed from a previous college, OR were disqualified from Santa Monica College AND have been away from SMC for two consecutive semesters (one year) or longer, you are required take certain steps to qualify for readmission. Go to smc.edu/apply and click on the “Returning Students” link for details.

If you have been dismissed from SMC more than once, you will be required to take a break from attending SMC for up to a maximum of one year.

For further information, please see an SMC counselor.

Assembly Bill 1705 requires California Community Colleges to help students enroll in and complete transfer-level coursework in English or ESL and math, which is within one year for English and math, and within three years if the student starts with ESL. You will be placed in English (or ESL) and math based on either your prior work or a guided self-placement, depending on when and where you completed your prior work.

If you have graduated from a United States high school or earned a GED® in the United States:

• You will be placed using multiple measures that include your high school GPA, courses, and grades reported on your CCCApply admission application.
• You may check your placement once you have activated your Corsair Connect account at smc.edu/cc. Just log in, click the “Placement” badge (under the “Success Steps” card), and review your placement. If you do not see courses listed, your SMC admission application is missing some necessary information. Follow the instructions on the screen, enter the information requested. Once done, you will see your placement.

If you did not graduate from a United States high school or did not receive their GED® in the United States, or graduated high school in another country:

• You will be placed using “guided self-placement,” a set of online tools that help evaluate how prepared you are with the skills you are expected to have before starting a particular math, English, or credit ESL class. To be guided to the best class for your needs, it is important that you read everything presented to you carefully, and that you answer honestly.
• To access the guided self-placement tools, log on to Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc. Then click the “Placement” badge (under the “Success Steps” card) and follow the instructions on the screen.
• Plan on completing your English and math placements together. You may take each guided self-placement only one time.
• Please note: The math self-placement presents six (6) options based on your academic and career path (major) or the course you are interested in taking. If you are not sure which option to choose, check with a counselor. You may take any of the math guided self-placements only one time.

For English, depending on your placement, you will start in one of two ways: (a) directly in English 1, a transfer-level course; or (b) directly in English 1 paired with English 28, a supporting course. In some instances, you may also be encouraged to take another reading or grammar supporting course.

Some students may need to be placed in selected ESL courses. Depending on your placement, you will start with one of the following courses: ESL 10G and ESL 10W, ESL 11A, ESL 19A, ESL 19B, or English 1. ESL 19A, ESL 19B, and English 1 are CSU/UC transferable courses.

For math, depending on your placement, you will start in one of two ways: (a) directly in a transfer-level math course, or (b) directly in a transfer-level math course paired with one supporting course. According to AB 1705, students may not be required to repeat courses they completed in high school with a C- or higher grade. If your English or math placement in Corsair Connect places you into a class you already completed, please meet with a counselor to discuss your case. A counselor may issue you a waiver and place you into the appropriate course for your program of study. See the Mathematics Course Sequence.

Assembly Bill 1805 permits students to view annual placement statistics for English, ESL, and mathematics. These are available at smc.edu/successcenter.

Santa Monica College will continue to offer limited assessment services for the Chemistry 10 challenge exam and math proficiency for graduation. You must have already applied for SMC admission, and must present a valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver license, passport, military ID). Test preparation materials are available online at smc.edu/placement.

The Success & Engagement Center (formerly the Assessment Center) is located in Student Services Center S145. The Center offers limited testing services on a walk-in, first-arrival basis. Please check our website (smc.edu/successcenter) or call 310-434-8040 for up-to-date information on office and testing hours.

Completing the placement process in English or ESL and in math is mandatory if you are:

• A first-time college student enrolling in more than six units during your first semester at SMC; or
• A continuing student who has not completed the placement process; or
• Enrolling in an English, ESL, or math course for the first time (even if not a first-time college student); or
• Enrolling in courses with required English or math preparation (prerequisites).

Based upon your placement results, you will receive an English, ESL, or math placement recommendation.

You may be exempt from the placement requirement and may also be granted placement and prerequisite waivers — as well as credit — for selected English, ESL, math, and chemistry courses under specific circumstances. Please see our webpage (smc.edu/waivers) for an overview, then consult with a counselor in General Counseling & Transfer Services for details.

Please note: Although you may be exempt from the placement process, you still must successfully complete — or receive waivers for — any prerequisite courses that are required for classes in English (or ESL), math, Anatomy 1, Biology 21/22/23, Chemistry 11/12/21/22/24, Film 31/32/33/34, Microbiology 1, Nursing 17, Physics 7/9/22/23/24, and Physiology 3 (among other courses). For further information, please consult with a counselor in General Counseling & Transfer Services.

Many students use Santa Monica College as the freshman and sophomore years of a four-year college plan. SMC is a leader in transferring students to their junior year at four-year colleges and universities, including the UC and CSU systems. Each of these institutions has a list of courses that must be completed to:

• satisfy general education requirements,
• satisfy lower-division pre-major requirements, and
• satisfy elective requirements.

How credit for an SMC course transfers to your future school depends on how that school will accept the course, and how clearly defined your transfer goal is.

To make things easier for SMC students to transfer successfully, Santa Monica College has worked out transfer agreements — called articulation agreements — with most local colleges and universities on how your units of credit transfer or meet graduation or other requirements. You can look up transfer information yourself (go to assist.org for details), but you will find it much easier to talk to a counselor in the Counseling Department. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, please call 310-434-4210.

Student-Athletes Please Note: If you plan to transfer with an athletic scholarship, please see an athletic counselor for a list of requirements and to arrange for continuous counseling while enrolled at SMC.

To the best of our knowledge, SMC does not schedule courses in inaccessible locations. However, some locations may not be accessible to students with specific disability-related access needs. SMC will relocate classes to accommodate individual students. To initiate this process, please contact the Center for Students with Disabilities at 310-434-4265 (voice) or 310-434-4272 (fax).

The path of travel from the public bus stops on Centinela to the Bundy and Airport Arts campuses is a steep grade that may be inaccessible for some with mobility limitations. However, the Sunset Ride — an accessible public bus line — which transfers from Big Blue Bus Line #14, stops inside the Bundy Campus.

Other access restrictions include:

• Art building: Accessible restrooms require an access key; go to the Center for Students with Disabilities (Student Services Center S155) or call 310-434-4265.
• Access keys are required for elevators when classes are not in session in the Business, Art, and Student Activities buildings, as well as for the Gym basement elevator.

You are strongly encouraged to enroll as close to your assigned date and time as possible, since students who come after you in priority will quickly fill the classes you need if you wait too long.

State and local regulations, combined with other factors, determine the order in which your enrollment date and time are assigned. It is important complete the SMC placement process, online orientation, and education plan requirements as soon as possible — especially if you are pursuing a degree, certificate, or transfer, or you are a first-time college student — because the sooner you do so, the sooner you will receive your enrollment appointment.

You may lose your priority enrollment status if you do not complete SMC’s online orientation (see smc.edu/orientation), placement process (go to smc.edu/cc and click the “Placement” tab), or an abbreviated education plan if you are a new or first-time-in-college student, or a comprehensive education plan if you are a student who will have either earned 15 degree-applicable units by the end of the term or will have completed a third semester (whichever comes first; see the information at smc.edu/myedplan). You will also lose priority enrollment if you are on academic or progress probation for two consecutive semesters/terms, or you accumulate excessive units, or you are found responsible for violating provisions of the SMC Rules for Student Conduct, such as holding or selling seats in a class. For more information, please refer to smc.edu/admissions (click on “Policies and Procedure” under the Policies section.

If you wish to take a course, but the section you want is already closed, you may sign up for an Open Seat Notification list up to two weeks before the term starts. You will receive a notification if a seat becomes available. A notification does NOT mean you are enrolled in the course. When you receive a notification, it is YOUR responsibility to go to Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc and enroll in the class. You may also unsubscribe from the Open Seat Notification list up to two weeks before the term starts. Notification lists expire two weeks prior to the start of the term (always on a Monday at 12:01 a.m.).

You may be given the opportunity to join a waitlist for a class section, starting two weeks before the term begins (always on a Monday at 12:01 a.m.). You will be able to track your status on the waitlist through Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc. The waitlist is provided to faculty, who can add students to the class if there are seats available once the class starts. If you are on a waitlist, you will receive a notice by email if a seat has become available, and may enroll in the course on a first-come, first-served basis. Please visit smc.edu/enroll for more details about the waitlist process.

Students may obtain one SMC student I.D. card FREE of charge through the Cashier’s Office. Instructions on how to request your I.D. are available at smc.edu/cashier. If you lose your card, a replacement card may be purchased at the Cashier’s Office for $20. Your SMC student I.D. provides a convenient way to check out materials from the SMC library and access the campus tutoring labs and learning resource centers, as well as purchase discount tickets for selected student events or activities.

Santa Monica College uses Google Gmail to provide each SMC student with a FREE email address. Go to smc.edu/google for more information. Check your Gmail account often, as this is where SMC will send all official communication from the College to you. SMC email addresses may be restricted at the College’s discretion at anytime.

Note: Your @student.smc.edu email address is not permanent, and will be disabled after a period of nonenrollment. Do not link or associate your SMC student email address with personal and non-SMC related services, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., as well as your bank account(s) and ATM and credit cards. Also, Do not use your SMC student email address for purchased apps/services.

The mandatory Health Services fee of $26 during the fall semester includes free basic health services, information, and referrals by full-time RN; emergency first aid treatment; and free or reduced-cost immunizations.

The optional $22.50 Student Benefits fee provides transportation options (Big Blue Bus intercampus shuttle service, rides at no extra cost on any Big Blue Bus and Metro lines at any time, and a selection of rideshare and bike programs) and the LiveSafe app. The fee also supports the technology (campus WiFi, computer labs, printing, Chromebook loan program) SMC makes available free to all students.

The optional Associated Students Resource fee of $10 supports SMC’s many student clubs, scholarships, and other activities that foster academic achievement, campus life and social events, campus sustainability programs, mental health and wellness programs, and community involvement.

You may opt out of paying the Student Representation fee through Corsair Connect (Fees Assessment page).

Some classes require additional fees for materials and supplies. Consult the class listings in this schedule to determine whether any such fees are required. Please note that these fees are NOT refundable.

A virtual on-campus parking permit does NOT guarantee you a parking space. What a virtual parking permit does is entitle you to use on-campus student parking areas on a space-available, first-arrival basis. NOTE: Your virtual parking permit is for ON-CAMPUS PARKING ONLY — it is NOT a residential (street) parking permit.

For parking at SMC’s main campus, SMC Performing Arts Center, or the SMC Center for Media and Design, you MUST purchase a virtual parking permit for $93.50 for the fall semester. The permit price includes the City of Santa Monica 10% parking facilities tax. The virtual parking permit provides access to parking lots at ALL SMC campuses. 

You may purchase virtual parking permits online through Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc. If you have been awarded a California College Promise Grant for the academic year, you may purchase a virtual parking permit for $33 (including City parking tax) at the Cashier’s Office.

Parking at SMC Airport Arts, Bundy, and Malibu campuses is FREE, but REQUIRES A VIRTUAL PARKING PERMIT. Satellite campus virtual parking permits may be requested online via Corsair Connect. See smc.edu/transportation for details.

Please Note: Student virtual parking permits are not valid for faculty/staff parking areas.

Accessible Parking: The display of a DMV accessible placard and registration for an SMC virtual parking permit entitles you to park in any accessible, student, or staff parking space.

An important caution: Car alarms are disruptive to other students and our neighbors. Cars with activated alarms in the SMC parking areas will be towed immediately at your expense.

As an SMC student, you can ride any Big Blue Bus, Metro bus or train, or buses on 13 other transit agencies across L.A. anytime — at no extra cost! — if you are currently enrolled and have paid the Student Benefits fee. See the SMC Transportation webpage for details on how to get your TAP card.

Withdrawal refund deadlines appear next to each enrolled class listed in your Corsair Connect account.

Please Note: You may be eligible to receive some form of financial aid. Call the Financial Aid Office at 310-434-4343 as soon as possible. Work Study funds and the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) are available for the fall semester (go to smc.edu/financialaid for details). Please note: The California College Promise Grant and SMC Promise Program do not cover upper-division coursework fees.

You can pay your fees by using a MasterCard, Visa, or Discover credit card at the same site where you enroll. For other payment options, see the “How to Pay” information.

Please see smc.edu/fees for payment deadline dates and other related information. It is YOUR responsibility to drop any courses you do not wish to continue. If you do not drop the courses by the refund deadline — even if you never went to class — you will be responsible for paying the fees and will not be able to enroll in future terms until all fees are paid. A hold will also be placed on your records, which prevents you from receiving enrollment verification, diplomas, etc. See smc.edu/fees for the latest details.
