Editing MyEdPlan

Sorry if this is a dumb question I'm a brand new student. I did MyEdPlan and submitted it for review with a counselor a few days ago. I was nervous about classes filling up and went ahead and enrolled in some today for my first semester (spring 2025). However some of the classes I planned for that semester were already closed so I had to pick ones I'd planned for my next semester.

Now MyEdPlan shows the classes I enrolled in plus the ones I initially planned for all in the spring 2025 section. The issue is the edit buttons are missing, I can't make any changes. I'm assuming this is because my review is still pending? Is there a way I cancel my review or do I have to wait for them to get back to me and be like 'why do you have 21 units in spring 2025'?

Fashion Program In SMC

Guys I’m an international student and I’ve applied to SMC for Fashion Merchandising. I’ve also applied to other colleges like LATTC, so now I need to decide where to go. Can anyone share some reviews or insights about the fashion programs at SMC compared to LATTC? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Bike recommendations

Looking for bike/bike route recommendations from those of you that might bike to main campus! I live only like a 15 minute ride from school and have been dying to get a bike for short commutes.

Time Conflict Question

Has anyone had experience with getting a time conflict approved over 15 minutes? I have a class that conflicts by 20 minutes for the Spring, however the professor may be okay with it. I've gotten mixed responses on whether admissions would allow an override to register.

Calc textbook

I was wondering if someone can tell me which textbook is used for calculus(math 7 and 8) and which chapters they generally cover in each class. I’m trying to get a head start. If someone has a link to a pdf or something that would be much appreciated too.

SMC Scholars Program Status

hey. so i submitted my scholars program application about 2 weeks ago and i still haven't gotten a response yet. whenever i check my form on dynamic forms, it shows a red circle cross under PDF and HTML and for status, it says "Multi-pending". Does that mean my application went through correctly and it's still in the process? i'm so confused

CS 20A - Long Nguyen

Has anyone taken CS 20A with Long Nguyen recently? I'm doing distance education right now, so unfortunately I can't take any on-ground classes. His RMP ratings and grade distributions are making me hesitant.

PIQ examples?

Is there anywhere I can find successful transfer PIQs for UC app?

Also, do all 4 of them NEED to be tied into my major... because 2 of mine are not, but I feel like they are very insightful of who I am as a student.

A Newbie Question

Hi everyone,

Just a quick newbie question as I'm new here. I'm planning to transfer to SMC this spring semester. I'm an international student in LA, but I live far from SMC. So I just wanted to know how many classes are conducted in a day and overall in a week in person and at what time classes usually happen. I just wanna get an idea since I'll have to commute.

Scholars Program

Quick question for people who applied for the scholarship program. How long did it take for them to respond? I submitted my online form and grade checks a few days ago and I know I still have a bit to wait but the anticipation is kinda killing me so does anyone know if it’s gonna be a couple weeks? Update- I got accepted! :D thank you to everyone who responded I was getting nervous

I've never seen a computer science student in real life

I've been at this school as a CS major for a year. I do all my programming classes online because they're usually offered online. But for the classes that have to be taken in person I have literally never seen or heard of a CS major. What's the deal here?

Math 54C Final

Has anyone taken Professor Dabagh's 54C Elementary Statistics class? If so, please message me. I have questions regarding the final. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it, I'd love to discuss reparations. Only message me if you have already completed the class, not if you are currently still in it.

Best Math 7 and 8 Professors?

I've looked around and seen Rodas is one of the best Calc 1 professors at SMC. Besides him, who are some professors you've had good experiences within Math 7 and 8.

Edit: when I mean best, I mean the best professor that thoroughly explains all the topics. I am not looking for the “easy A” class

USC Transfer

If a fellow usc student who was able to transfer from smc can hit me up it’d be much appreciated. I want to transfer as a sophomore but I feel like smc is a very ucla focused school due to thier connections, however it’d be nice to know some people who transferred to usc from smc and ask them some questions, or even people who has usc as their top school. IT’S SO SCARY OUT HERE

Open enrollment for STEM/MAS classes?

What date is open enrollment for spring so I can enroll in STEM/MAS class (since I'm not a STEM/MAS student). I'm annoyingly checking every night at midnight but would love to just know exactly what date I can enroll. Anyone know? I've tried looking it up but SMC just says mid-November.
