Frequently Answered Questions

Click on a question to access the answer.

+How can we find out directions and parking information?

Parking information as well as directions are posted on our Campus Parking page (you can clickon the link in this item or for future reference, it appears at the top of the vertical navigation bar on the left side of our website at commed.smc.edu.

+Does that page contain information on classes held at Emeritus College?

The Campus Parking page contains parking information and links to maps for all campuses. As for Emeritus College:

1227 SECOND STREET (Parking is available in the City parking structure #2, located at the corner of Second Street and Wilshire Blvd. Parking is free for the first 90 MINUTES, and $1 for each additional 30 minutes, up to a maximum of $14. Evening rates after 6pm may vary. Head-in parking ONLY is strictly enforced.

Also, you will need to know what room number. If the door is not opened, you need to call Campus Police at 310-434-4300 and have them open it. It is highly suggested that you arrive to class early in case the room is not opened.

+How do I access the roster?

Once you logged in, you need to click on Future Roster if the start date of the class is in the future. During the class duration, this roster is accessible through Current Roster, if that makes sense.
