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 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 ‘Apply Now’ 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 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 winter 2021 session,
applications for out-of-country applicants must be submitted by October 15, 2020;
and applications for in-country applicants who already have an F-1 or F-2 visa must
be submitted by November 15, 2020.
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.

Assembly Bill 705 requires Santa Monica College and other California community colleges
to help students enroll in and complete transfer-level coursework in English and math
within one year. You will be placed in English and math based on either your prior
work or a guided self-placement, depending on when and where you completed your prior
work, as shown below.
If you have completed the 12th grade or graduated high school in the U.S. in the last
10 years:
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. Just log in, click the “Placement” tab, 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 graduated high school in the U.S. more than 10 years ago 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 English or math 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, activate your Corsair Connect. Then log in, click the “Placement” tab, 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 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.
For math, depending on your placement, you will start in one of three ways: (a) directly
in a transfer-level math course; (b) directly in a transfer level math course paired
with one supporting course; or (c) one semester of a math course that provides an
accelerated path to transfer level math, and then followed by one semester of transfer
level math, either as a standalone course or paired with a supporting course.
Santa Monica College will continue to offer limited assessment services for ESL, 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/successcenter.
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 if you meet certain qualifications.
You 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, 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.
In addition, the following rooms have access restrictions:
ESL and Art buildings: Accessible restrooms require an access key.*
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.
*For restroom access-key copies, go to the Center for Students with Disabilities (Student
Services Center S155) or call 310-434-4265.
Enrollment
Important: All enrollment transactions take place online. You may enroll in any class with space
available until the evening before the second class meeting, if the class is less
than 90% full. Beginning the day of the second class meeting, you must have an Instructor
Authorization Code for each class you wish to enroll in, even if the class has space
available. Exceptions: (1) The enrollment deadline for online, hybrid, or Arranged Hours classes is the Sunday evening prior to the week the course begins; (2) for classes meeting once per week and courses with a lab, you may enroll until 10 p.m. the night before the first class meeting. If the class
is full, you will need an Instructor Authorization Code.
Please note: All enrollment takes place on the web via Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc. If a class is closed, please keep trying, as it will re-open if space becomes available. For more information about the enrollment process, please see smc.edu/enroll.
You may enroll by web on or after the enrollment date and time listed for you. You
can enroll from any computer in the Admissions Office lobby. You may also enroll from
home if you have Internet access.
To confirm that the classes you selected have been added, click on “Transaction Receipt”
in the menu on the left. If the receipt is correct, print out a copy. You must have
this printout to contest any discrepancies.
You may also add or drop classes by web. If you decide NOT to attend a course you
have enrolled in, it is YOUR responsibility to officially withdraw from it.
For payment information, see the PAYMENT POLICY section.
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 assessment
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 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 “Enrollment Priority” 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 and enroll in the class. You may also unsubscribe from the Open Seat Notification
list up to two weeks before the term starts.
You may be given the opportunity to join a waitlist for a class section, starting
two weeks before the term begins. 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.
To obtain your SMC Student I.D. card, go to the Cashier’s Office/Student ID at Student
Services Center S181. Your SMC Student I.D. provides a convenient way to check out
materials from the Library and access the campus tutoring labs and learning resource
centers. When combined with A.S. Activities and swipe-activated, your SMC Student
I.D. allows you to ride free on all Big Blue Bus routes, and to purchase discount
tickets for selected student events or activities.

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

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 $49.50 for the winter
session. 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. If you have been awarded a California College Promise Grant for the academic year,
you may purchase a virtual parking permit for $30 at the Cashier’s Office.
Parking at SMC Airport Arts and Bundy campuses is free, but requires a virtual parking permit. Satellite campus virtual parking permits may be requested online through Corsair Connect. See smc.edu/transportation for details.
Parking at the SMC Bundy Lot is free for ALL SMC students, but requires a virtual parking permit. Please see SMC’s transportation webpage for the latest details.
PLEASE NOTE: Student virtual parking permits are NOT valid for faculty/staff parking
areas.
Inter-campus shuttle service is free (SMC I.D. required) when campuses are open for classes. Please consult SMC’s parking webpage for routes and operating hours.
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.
SMC students with a current SMC Student I.D. can ride any Big Blue Bus any time — for FREE! — if they have paid the Associated Students Activities fee AND have
swipe-activated their SMC Student I.D. Special thanks go to the SMC Associated Students

2007 in partnership with the Big Blue Bus — aimed at improving access to SMC and reducing
traffic, noise, and air pollution in the community. See smc.edu/transportation for details.
