Students have access to instructors and administrative staff for academic advisement. Students may seek assistance for academic, housing, or personal matters. Student ID cards are issued to new students during the first week of each semester. Students can either take the photo at the school or bring their own recent passport-standard photograph. All LAPC students must have student ID cards in order to use the school's facilities. A tutorial program is available to the students who seek additional assistance or practical experience. A student may have tutoring from his/her instructor during regular sessions by making arrangements with the instructor. LAPC encourages students to discuss any problems that may interfere with their education with the director or administrator. If there are financial problems, assistance can be secured from the student services office. Academic advising is also available for students intending to obtain admittance to a four-year college.
