California ID

To get a California ID, you need to apply at a DMV office. See Explore Los Angeles – State Services for more information.

“The student should attend all classes whenever possible, idealistically for knowledge, realistically because he is paying for all of the class sessions. If the student ‘ditches’ three times, he is reported to the Registrar, who records this report and refers it to the Dean of Students. Excessive absences may require withdrawal from the course or the University.”
