It’s not too late!!

Register now for Fall semester “late start” classes

Check the class schedule in MyCanyons to see the short-term

classes that are still available for Fall semester. For questions

please contact Admissions and Records at 661-362-3970 or

stop by building 1C on the Canyon Country campus, or Can-

yons Hall at the Valencia campus, during open office hours.

Message from Campus Safety Important tips for students: 1. Eat and hydrate before class(s). Campus Safety responds to numerous calls of sick/injured students and the number one culprit is low blood sugar and dehydration.

2. First few weeks, allow enough time to arrive before class(s) to find parking space, as it is crowded and we are a ONE way roadway.

3. Speaking of ONE Way, please follow clearly marked traffic signs and controls and don’t drive the wrong way. The speed limits are between 5 and 15MPH as there are numerous curves, speed bumps, and pedestrians. Stop for pedestrians in crosswalks, it’s the law.

4. For those students that are being dropped off (not driving themselves) there is a pick up/drop off at the top of the Campus (white curb/signs posted) horseshoe. Alternatively, students can be dropped off in any student parking lot, and easily walk to their class from there. Parents and other drivers should not stop in roadways or red curbs, as it is against the law and they will be cited. It also creates a traffic/safety hazard for them, as well as other students.

5. Parking passes can be purchased online via the COC website (recommended) or day passes can be pur-chased in student lots 1, 2 and 3 at the black parking machines. From time to time, these machines may be out of order, and if so, the only vehicles that will be cited are those that park illegally such as in staff, handi-cap or non-student designated spaces/lots. Students who choose not to buy a semester parking pass, and fail to check machines (to see if they are working) run the risk of being cited for no pass.

6. Recap: Most important - hydration, drive safe, and make your college experience a great one.

Campus Safety team.
