Students may transfer from one course to another at no charge until 2 weeks prior to the start of the course they are currently enrolled in.

If there is a difference is cost between the course students are enrolled in and transferring to, students are required to pay the difference if the new course costs more or will receive a partial refund if the new course costs less.

Students may cancel registration through their account on the Modern Campus student portal. A $25 cancellation fee will be charged starting 48 hours after initial enrollment.

To drop a course, students log into their student profile from the Student Portal and navigate to My Enrollment History, and select Request Drop for that course.

Students may receive a cancellation refund, less the $25 cancellation fee, until 2 weeks prior to the start of the course.

Refunds will not be issued for cancellations less than 2 weeks prior to the start of the course

On the first Monday of class from 8-9:30 am, Extended Studies staff will be available in person to support students and faculty. Look for our table in the lobby of the building where your class is to be held. If you are unsure where to go, the guards at the table or desk near the building entrance can help direct you. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of class to make sure you are in your classroom and ready to start creating by 9 am.

Required materials will be provided as part of the program.

These classes are non-credit. We are evaluating future offerings and may offer credit-bearing classes in the future.

We’re glad you asked! Please visit our admissions page.

The L.A. Metro Fillmore Station is located one block north of South Campus, connecting students to the Metro rail and bus system serving all of Los Angeles County.

Pasadena has its own easy and affordable bus system, Pasadena Transit. Route 51/52 provides weekday service throughout Old Pasadena, with stops at both campuses.

South Campus Parking: Please allow yourself enough time to park at 950 S. Raymond Avenue and walk to the building where your class will be held. There is also overflow parking available behind the Tesla charging lot on the corner of Arroyo and Glenarm.

Extended Studies staff will be available from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please plan to arrive and leave during that time frame and stay inside the building until you are ready to leave. Students who are waiting after drop off and before pick up will not be directly supervised, so students should be mature enough to be self-directed during this time. Consider bringing something to do quietly while you wait.

We know that summer mornings are busy, so we will provide lunch for you. There will be a vegetarian option and an option that includes meat. To limit wasted food, we cannot guarantee that you will get your first choice every day, and unfortunately, we are not able to provide for personal food preferences and dietary requirements.

Of course, you are welcome to bring snacks and meals that meet your needs but keep in mind that refrigeration is not available. In addition, most buildings have vending machines.
