of the largest EOP&S programs in the state and a financial
aid office that disburses more than $10 million in aid each year.
In addition, LACC offers comprehensive student support through
our Counseling Center, Career Center, Learning Skills Center,
Student Health Center and Associated Student Organization. These
support groups and the fine and caring people who work at City
all contribute to the success of our students.
 LACC
is located on Vermont Avenue just off the Hollywood Freeway and
easily accessed by Metrolink or MTA. It holds the distinction
of being one of the oldest public Community Colleges in the State
of California. The original student body had 1,300 students with
54 faculty. Dr. William H. Snyder was appointed as the first Director
of the school. The LACC campus was originally a 20 acre parcel
on Vermont Avenue; which at the time, was part of the Sullivan
Ranch. It was chosen for the Los Angeles State Normal School,
which began operation as a four-year school for teacher instruction
in 1911. Expanding its curriculum, the school changed its name
to the University of California, Southern Branch in 1919. That
name would later be changed in the 1927-28 school year to the
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1929, UCLA would
move to its current location in Westwood, establishing its own
fine tradition and LACC would flourish on Vermont for 75 years
and counting.
