Adult Learners

Overview

Adult Learners

Adult learners, specifically indirect matriculants (IDMs), are students who did not enroll in college immediately upon high school completion and who have not completed a degree or a certificate. 

Long Beach City College is committed to helping Adult Learners/Indirect Matriculant students successfully navigate the college system and achieve their educational and career goals. The Success & Completion Achievement Network (SCAN) Program offers students additional support and promotes the academic success of IDMs at LBCC.
