Adult Learners
Adult learners, specifically indirect matriculants (IDMs), are students who did not enroll in college immediately upon high school completion and did not enroll in any other college/university before starting at LBCC.
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 Postsecondary Achievement and Success Opportunity (PASO) and Success & Completion Achievement Network (SCAN) programs offer students additional support and promote academic success.
