LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION E-108
TOPIC: Student Documentation for Admission and Registration
In order to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all students, no matter
how or where they apply for admission in the District, documentation
requirements for admission and registration must be applied uniformly to all
students. This regulation identifies various types of documentation that may
or may not be required of students.
1.
Picture Identification.
Picture identification is required when a student requests to change his
or her name on college records, and for all in-person transactions that
would otherwise require a personal identification number (PIN), if
conducted on-line or by telephone. In all other cases, picture
identification may be requested, but is not required.
2.
Electronic Signatures.
Student transactions, including application for admission, conducted
electronically do not require additional hard copy (“wet ink”)
signatures, provided that the student has a unique log-in identifier
(e.g., student ID number, or other log-in identifier assigned to, or
chosen by, the student) and a unique Personal Identification Number
(PIN) or password.
3.
Social Security Numbers and Social Security Cards.
Under Federal law, the District is required to request Social Security
numbers from all students, but the District is not required to collect
them. If a student refuses to provide a Social Security number, the
student must be allowed to complete the application and registration
process. Additionally, a student cannot be required to produce his or
her Social Security card.
4.
Additional Documentation.
If a student (or the student's parent, if the student is under age 19)
has either maintained a home outside of California at any time during
the last two years, or has 1) maintained voter registration and voted in
another state; 2) petitioned for a divorce in another state; 3) attended
an out-of-state institution as a resident of that other state; or 4)
declared non-residence for state income tax purposes, the student will
be required to provide additional evidence and documentation of his or

her intent to reside in California in order to obtain California residency
classification.
If a student is required to complete the Supplemental Residency
Questionnaire because of circumstances listed in section 4 of this
regulation, then the student will be required to produce the
documentation specified in the questionnaire.
A student may also be required to produce residency documentation if
there is conflicting residency information on the application. Otherwise,
residency determinations will be made on the basis of the information
contained on the Application for Admission, and will not require further
documentation.
5.
Supplemental Residency Questionnaire.
The Supplemental Residency Questionnaire will only be used in the
following cases:

The student, who was previously determined to be a non-resident, is
requesting a residency reclassification to resident status.

When there are exceptions to the general rules for residency
determination, as identified in the residency determination flowchart
and as referenced in section 12 of the application.

There are inconsistencies in the answers to the residency questions on
the application.

More information is needed to make a residency determination.
The Supplemental Residency Questionnaire specifies the
documentation that is required for each section the student is
completing.
