ORIENTATION, ASSESSMENT & STUDENT EDUCATIONAL PLAN
Welcome to Las Positas College! As part of our shared commitment to your educational success, we offer a number
of programs and services to help you reach your educational goals. Three important “Core Services” that are highly
encouraged for priority registration are: Orientation, Assessment, and the Student Educational Plan (SEP). Learn about
each of these essential services below:

CORE SERVICE 1: ORIENTATION

To help with your transition to LPC, an online orientation is offered for all students, including first-time college students and returning
students. Within the orientation, members of the LPC community will introduce you to the school’s programs, services, academic
regulations, expectations, campus facilities, and student life. You will need your LPC student identification number that was assigned
to you to complete the online orientation. Completion of the orientation is required to participate in priority registration at LPC.
Visit https://bw11.clpccd.cc.ca.us/ to access the online orientation at the website.

CORE SERVICE 2: ASSESSMENT/PLACEMENT

In order to help determine the proper course placement for you to begin your educational career at LPC, all students are encouraged
to complete the Guided Self Placements for Math and English. The Assessment Center also offers placement for English as a
Second Language, Chemistry and Foreign Language (Spanish and French) courses. Completion of the Guided Self Placement for
Math and English or assessment for English as a Second Language is required to participate in priority registration at LPC. Visit the
Assessment Center homepage for more information. If you have a documented disability and require accommodations, please
contact the Disability Resource Center at (925) 424-1510.

CORE SERVICE 3: STUDENT EDUCATIONAL PLAN (SEP)

After completing your assessment, you will have the opportunity to schedule an educational planning session with a counselor to
review your assessment results, to learn about your educational/career options and develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP) for
your first year at LPC.
During your first semester of attendance, you are strongly encouraged to make an appointment to meet with a counselor to discuss
your goals and develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The purpose of your SEP is to help plan the courses that are required to
meet your educational goal(s). During your SEP appointment with a counselor, you will learn what courses you need, the overall
time line to complete your goal, and the support services available to help your successfully achieve your goal(s). Visit the LPC
homepage and search “Counseling” for counseling services offered, and available hours.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS WITH DEGREEWORKS

LPC offers a web-based tool to help you keep track of your educational progress! DegreeWorks (DW) allows you as a student
to view your Student Educational Plan and confirm what courses you have completed, as well as what courses remain, toward
meeting your educational objective(s). DW matches your academic and course history, as well as your current course schedule,
against the degree requirements as defined in the LPC College Catalog.* Thinking about adding a major, or changing your
goal? DW also gives you the opportunity to explore “What If Scenarios,” to determine how your courses meet requirements for
programs other than your current declared major. Please meet with a counselor for questions about your educational goal or
to change your Student Educational Plan.
To access DegreeWorks, follow these steps:
1. Visit the LPC Home Page and log in to CLASS-Web.
2. Once logged in, navigate to the Student Service tab.
3. Scroll down to locate the DegreeWorks link.
*A degree audit created in DegreeWorks is not an official notification of completion of degree or certificate requirements.

 SPRING 2024 FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE
Spring 2024 final examinations for full-term classes will be held May 18, 2024 - May 24, 2024. Your final exam
might not always occur at the same time as your class. Please carefully check the chart below to determine
the time and day of your final exam. The schedule below applies to final exams given in face-to-face classes,
hybrid courses (online with in-person meetings for exams, labs, or skills instruction), and online courses
taught synchronously. Instructors teaching online asynchronously, or a combination of asynchronous and
synchronous, will clarify their final exam instructions on the class syllabus. This final exam schedule applies to
full-term classes only.
The first hour and the first day of the week that day classes meet determines placement of the final exam. In determining
the examination time for lecture-laboratory classes and lecture-discussion courses, the lecture period determines the
time. For stand-alone lab course (with its own CRN Number), a two-hour final examination will be given during final
examination week. The first hour and the day of the week that the laboratory class meets will determine the placement
of the class in the schedule below. If you have a question about when and where your final exam will take place, please
contact your instructor.

I chose LPC for its paramedic program.

I spoke with former students from previous cohorts and they had great reviews. After doing
my research, LPC was the most affordable option compared to other paramedic programs in
Northern California. I was in the middle of a career change in which I had a manufacturing job
for 10 years and recently received my EMT certification from another community college. The
campus was conveniently located in between my EMT job in the East Bay and my home in
the Central Valley. I am married and have three children so picking the right program that fits
into my work schedule and my home life was a high priority. LPC gave me the tools and the
knowledge to become a paramedic. On the journey the instructors and staff treated me like a
person, not a number. The staff were flexible and adapted to my learning style when needed.
Paramedic school is grueling, intense and stressful which makes choosing the right program
extremely important. I will forever be grateful to the paramedic program of LPC. The campus
is a great place to learn. LPC had all the resources I needed to achieve my career goals. It is a
fun and safe learning environment. Last but not least I enjoyed the camaraderie amongst my
classmates. You can’t put a price on that! COHORT 9 FOREVER.
