INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SIGN-IN TO THE ONLINE ORIENTATION:

1. Sign on to CLASS-Web
2. Click on the “Student Services” tab
3. Scroll down to the end and click on “Online Orientation”
4. Click on “LPC Orientation Services”
5. Select English or Spanish

The assessment tool is available online through CLASS-Web (online student portal). Students must first apply for admission to the college to access the assessment tool. At this time, Guided Self-Placement is available for English and Mathematics.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SIGN-IN TO THE GUIDED SELF-PLACEMENT:

1. Sign on to CLASS-Web
2. Click on the “Student Services” tab
3. Select Las Positas College Guided Self-Placement for English and/or Mathematics
4. Please answer all of the questions
5. Once you complete the Guided Self-Placement, select “Schedule my Student Education Plan to meet with a counselor” to complete STEP 5

The student education plan provides students with a roadmap to complete their educational goal of earning a certificate, associate degree, and/or transfer to a four-year college or university. Students can schedule an appointment to complete a Student Education Plan with an academic counselor after completing their assessment.  (see STEP 4 instructions)

Upon completion of the steps to success, you will be assigned a course registration date for the subsequent term. You may register for courses any day and time following your course registration date. Priority registration is assigned to students who complete orientation, assessment, and student education plan. Please pay your fees owed to the college to avoid being dropped from your courses prior to the start of the subsequent term by the established deadline.

• Register for classes. Pay your fees

Attention: by the time you have to pay for classes, you may still see that you owe a lot of money on CLASS-Web. If you qualify for AB 540 status do not drop your classes because the amount of tuition is high; this process takes time. Once you establish AB 540 Status, you will see your tuition rate lower. Only pay your fees once; you know that you are paying in-state tuition ($46 per unit)
