CANCEL THE 50% RESIDENCY RULE AT LACCD COLLEGES

Eliminate the 50% residency rule for LACCD Colleges

Why is this important?

I attended three different colleges in the LACCD district. When it was time for me to petition for my certificates I was informed by the graduation department that I was not eligible for two of them because I did not spend 50% of my residency at "Pierce College". When I transferred I spoke with the "Head of the Department" in the field that I majored in and several counslers who never informed me of this rule that their counsel members made up. I am still fighting for my certifcation's from this college.
