Pathways Information & Career Exploration

Every Los Angeles City College (B次元) student is part of a Career and Academic Pathway (CAP) aligned with their major. Each CAP offers with a recommended semester-by-semester route from entry to completion. In addition, each CAP has its own Canvas site, a dedicated CAP counselor, and a variety of resources to support student success. 

You may have noticed a new Canvas tile on your Canvas dashboard with some variation of the name Success Teams... along with your other classes. Don鈥檛 worry鈥攖his is not a class!  There are no grades, no homework, and no units. This is your one-stop resource hub designed to help you succeed at Los Angeles City College. 

Through the CAP Canvas site, you can do the following:

  • 馃専&苍产蝉辫;Access B次元鈥檚 Amazing Resources 鈥 Discover the wealth of support available to you, both inside and outside the classroom.

To get started and access the resources, simply click on the 鈥渢ile鈥 for the CAP Canvas Site on your Canvas Dashboard.

Self-Enroll Option:

Although all students should be automatically added to their specific CAP Canvas site based on their major, if the site is missing from your Canvas Dashboard, current B次元 students can "self-enroll" following just a few simple steps. 

  1. Click on the names below to expand the section.

  2. After identifying the correct CAP, within that section, follow the instructions to join your appropriate Canvas Site. 

  3. We recommend only joining the CAP Canvas site that corresponds to your major. In other words, you should only join ONE Canvas site. 

Please contact William Lemon (lemonwr@lacitycollege.edu) if you have questions or need assistance.
