Los Angeles Southwest College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

The LA College Promise only covers students who have never earned prior college credit (dual-enrollment classes taken while still in high school don't disqualify you). Submit the LASC Promise interest form and FAFSA/CADAA immediately after admission and before registering for your first term - enrolling first and applying for Promise afterward can cost you the two full years of free tuition and priority registration the program offers.

LASC/LACCD requires all new and many returning students to pass an ID.me (or in-person) identity verification step after submitting the application, and failure to complete it in time blocks class registration and can delay financial aid disbursement. Do this within days of applying rather than waiting for a reminder - processing takes 2?3 business days once submitted.

LASC's ADN program requires official ATI TEAS scores at the time of application, and cycles run only twice a year (Jan 15?Feb 15 for Fall; July 15?Aug 15 for Spring). Because the window is exactly one month and reapplication is allowed every cycle if denied, students should schedule the TEAS at least two months ahead so a low score doesn't cost them an entire six-month cycle.

LASC's Nursing Department requires all applicants to attend at least one mandatory Zoom information session during the open cycle, and the meeting room locks after a strict 5-minute grace period with no late entry. Treat this like a fixed exam appointment, not a casual info webinar, and log in early.
