Concurrent Enrollment

Santa Monica College logo in blue text with decorative swirls under the words.

LCA partners with local institutions such as West Los Angeles College and Santa Monica College to offer concurrent enrollment opportunities. This program allows students to earn college credit while still in high school at no cost, helping them get a head start on their college journey.

Students are encouraged to plan ahead, as college schedules often differ from LCA’s academic calendar. To begin the process, download our Concurrent Enrollment checklist and forms and review important enrollment steps for Fall and Spring semesters.

We also encourage families to explore the Scholars Program at Santa Monica College, which provides a clear pathway for university transfer. With a transfer rate of over 80%, students have successfully continued on to universities such as University of California, Los Angeles, University of Southern California, and Pepperdine University.
