First-Year Experience Track:
The First-Year Experience Program (FYE) is a special part of the Learning
Community Program. Students are enrolled in a full semester’s work at one
time. These courses are designed to provide students with a strong start in
college. Students who are interested in this program should call (562)
860-2451, ext. 2782 or 2778 for more information.
To register for the
First-Year Experience Program, students must call
(562) 860-2451, ext. 2782 or see a counselor.
All First-Year Experience students are required to attend an
information session and Fall Kick-off on Thursday, August 9th
from 5-7 p.m. in LC 155. Students will meet their
instructors and classmates. They will also receive important
information about their classes, parking, and books.
To qualify for full-time status, FYE students will

Learning Communities Classes
Learning communities involve the intentional creation of class pairs or
clusters around a common theme or concept. Typically, the same group of
students is co-enrolled in two or more courses, usually from different
disciplines—for instance, history and art, English and career guidance,
political science and philosophy. Students enroll in both courses but
receive a separate grade for each one.
Course instructors integrate their syllabi, encouraging students to gain
a deeper understanding of each course, even as they discover connections
between the two. Classroom activities, tests, assignments, field trips,
research projects, and educational technology are used to engage students in
their own learning, as well as provide them with valuable "real-world"
skills.
Perhaps more importantly, the learning community model promotes
student-centered learning, with an emphasis on an enriched classroom
environment. It promotes greater intellectual growth and genuine mastery of
course content through collaborative activities, frequent feedback, and
increased student-teacher and student-student interactions. Traditional
lecturing is minimized; active learning and thoughtful integration of
content are maximized.
Research indicates learning communities promote student achievement,
retention, and progress toward degree completion. Faculty benefit from
professional development and training, fresh approaches to teaching, and
collaboration with colleagues. Finally, the college profits from
institutional research and development that is intimately tied to
teaching/learning outcomes.
Learning Communities Program FYE and LC OPtion Withdrawal Policy
When a student enrolls in a group of two or more courses as part of a
learning community LC or FYE House, he or she must meet the prerequisite(s),
if there are any, for EACH course in the combination. Students enrolled in
one section of a course that is part of a learning community must be
enrolled in all other courses in that group. Labs must be taken with
lecture. If one course is dropped, the student MUST and Will be disenrolled
from all other courses in the learning community. There are no exceptions
to this policy.
