Students - Access for Students Currently Enrolled at LA City College
Only Students enrolled in the current semester/session are able to login to the databases. Students should be able to login as of the first day of the semester/session, though sometimes there is some lag time the first day or two of the semester/session as users get loaded into the system. If you are currently taking a class and your login doesn't work, you may contact IT for assistance: LACCStudentSupport@laccd.edu or (323) 766-6240.
Be sure to include your Student ID number and email address.
Username:

- the first two letters of your last name, and

- Password: 0126
