I'm looking into applying to Long Beach Community College and need to know the application deadline. When is the last day to submit my application for enrollment?
Long Beach City College follows an open enrollment policy, meaning there isn't a strict deadline for every semester like at a four-year university. Rather, the college has rolling admissions and you can apply at any time. However, to increase your chances of getting the classes you want, it's recommended to apply as soon as the application period opens, which is typically several months before the start of each semester.
For the fall semester, applications usually start being accepted in the spring (around May), and for the spring semester, applications usually open in the fall (around October). I would suggest regularly checking the college's website or contacting the admissions office for exact dates as these can change from year to year. Make sure you submit your application, placement tests, and financial aid documents as early as possible. While applications may be accepted right up until the beginning of classes, early applicants have the best chance at getting into their preferred classes. Applying early also allows time to rectify any issues that might pop up with your application.
