Due to unhealthy air quality, the campus will be closed on August 24th, 2020. All virtual services and classes will continue as normal.

COVID-19 Response: Las Positas College has transitioned to Online Classes and Services. Details and Resources Here.

The Zone Student Portal is unavailable. However, you can still access Class-Web and Zonemail.

Congratulations Class of 2020! Although the in-person commencement ceremony is being postponed to a later date, you deserve to be honored and celebrated now!

Employee Email: Due to multiple email issues, the deadline for submitting grades has been extended to 11:00 pm Thursday, May 28, 2020.

These servers will be replaced over the Summer.

English as a Second Language (ESL)

Spring 2021 ESL classes begin February 1. (this is 2 weeks later than most LPC classes)

We have room in classes, and you still have time to register!

See below for more information.

Las Positas College has a comprehensive ESL Program which includes six levels of instruction: two semesters of beginning, two semesters of intermediate and two semesters of advanced courses. The program focuses on academic language skills: reading, writing, grammar, and oral communication. To complement the instructional program, the College provides assessment, counseling, orientation and special support services, such as free tutoring for all ESL and International students.

To Register for ESL Classes:

Applying to the college and registering for classes includes several steps.

Information about these steps can be found on our Six Steps to Success webpage.

 IMPORTANT--The information on the Six Steps to Success webpage does not include the newest information about the ESL Assessment (Step 4).  Here is the newest information about the ESL Assessment:

  •  Due to the COVID-19 situation, we will have a new assessment and placement process for the Fall 2020 semester.  
  • After you apply to the college (Step 1) and receive your W# (student ID number), send an email to Julia McGurk, the ESL Department Coordinator:   

jmcgurk@laspositascollege.edu

  • In the email, include your full name and your W#, and explain that you are a new student, and you want to take the ESL assessment.  
  • We will send you a reply soon with an explanation of the current assessment and placement process.  
  • Don't worry, and please be patient.  We have lots of space for you in our classes!

 

Thank you for your interest in ESL classes at Las Positas!  We look forward to seeing you!
