    From LPC’s academic calendar. Short-term and late-start classes have their own deadlines, listed with each class in the schedule.

    Does LPC have a winter session?

    Yes. LPC’s winter 2027 session runs Dec 21 – Jan 22. A winter class is a full course squeezed into a few weeks, so it can take a requirement off a heavy spring, at the cost of a fast pace.

    LPC’s calendar calls it: “Classes Start”.

    Which classes fill up first at LPC?

    Questions students ask

    When can I sign up for spring 2027 classes at LPC?

    Priority groups (veterans, foster youth, DSPS, EOPS and others): Monday, November 16, 2026. Continuing students: Thursday, November 19, 2026. New and returning students (open registration): Thursday, December 3, 2026. Your exact time is the registration appointment shown in LPC’s student portal.

    Why do some students get to register before me?

    California's community colleges follow a registration order set by state rules (California Code of Regulations, Title 5, section 58108). Groups the law names come first, including active-duty military and veterans, current and former foster youth, and students in DSPS, EOPS or CalWORKs. Next are continuing students who have finished orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor. LPC sets the exact order within those rules.

    How do I get an earlier registration time at LPC?

    Finish orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor at LPC before registration opens, and stay in good academic standing. Students can lose priority after two terms in a row on academic or progress probation (some colleges now call it "notice"), or once they pass 100 degree-applicable units.

    What if the class I need is full?

    Join the waitlist if the section has one, and keep an eye on it through the first week: seats open up as students drop. Depending on the college, you are either added automatically or sent a permission number or add code that expires, so check your email. Going to the first class meeting matters, since instructors often add waitlisted students who show up. The list above shows which LPC classes filled last fall, so pick backups for those.

    When does the spring semester start at LPC?

    Spring 2027 classes at LPC start Monday, February 1, 2027.

    What's the last day to drop a class without a W at LPC?

    For full-term spring 2027 classes, Thursday, February 11, 2027. Shorter classes have earlier deadlines, listed with each class in the schedule. A W does not affect your GPA, but the units still count as attempted, so a pattern of them can affect progress standing and financial aid.

    Can I take winter classes at LPC?

    Yes. LPC’s winter 2027 session runs Dec 21 – Jan 22. Winter classes count the same as spring ones, but cover a full course in a few weeks.
