Spring 2027 registration
Spring 2027 registration at LASC opens Tuesday, November 3, 2026 (in 20 days).
From LASC’s registration page, checked Oct 13. Your exact day and time is your registration appointment in LASC’s student portal.
Does LASC have a winter session?
Yes. LASC’s winter 2027 session runs Jan 4 – Feb 7. 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.
LASC’s calendar calls it: “Winter 2027 Classes Begin”.
Questions students ask
When can I sign up for spring 2027 classes at LASC?
Priority groups (veterans, foster youth, DSPS, EOPS and others): Monday, October 26, 2026. Continuing students: Tuesday, November 3, 2026. New and returning students (open registration): Monday, November 16, 2026. Your exact time is the registration appointment shown in LASC’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. LASC sets the exact order within those rules.
How do I get an earlier registration time at LASC?
Finish orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor at LASC 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.
Can I take winter classes at LASC?
Yes. LASC’s winter 2027 session runs Jan 4 – Feb 7. Winter classes count the same as spring ones, but cover a full course in a few weeks.
