Registering yourself to attend Cerritos College is fairly easy. You would need to visit the Administration Office located in the center of the campus, and get in line at the Admissions line. You should have with you a valid California ID, legal residency ID (birth certificate, permanent residency card, etc.), and a filled admission application which can found inside the Administration office. Or you can quickly apply online at http://cccapply.org/applications/CCCApply/apply/Cerritos_College.html thereby saving you gas and time.
If you haven’t decided which courses to take for the new years, visit the Schedule Plus to view the full course schedules and class information. You can also view which courses have open spots and which course are already full. As stated earlier, public registration will be open on January 5th 2010 so be prepared.

Enrollment fee to enroll at Cerritos Community College has increased to $26 per unit due to California legislative changes with community colleges. Non-resident tuition fee is $190 per unit and international students tuition fee is now at $227 per unit. Additional fee includes the Student Activity Fee of $10 per semester and the Student Health fee which costs $16 per semester. Parking permit fee costs $30 and optional for students. Summer term fees are lower than the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms.
To calculate how much your Fall 2009 tuition will costs you is by multiplying the per unit fee with the number of class units. For example, ENGL 100 FRESHMAN COMPOSITION (UC/CSU Transferable) is a 4.0 UNIT course. You simply multiply 4 units with $26 which will costs you $104 for the course. And you decide to add TH 101 INTRODUCTION TO THE THEATER course which is a 3.0 units course. That course will costs you $78. Finally you add $104 and $78, $10 Student Activity Fee, and $16 Student Health Fee which totals to $208 dollars. Add the parking fee of $30 if you commute with your car, totaling to $238.
You could speak with the college counselor to discuss your schedule and obtain financial aid information.

Based on the occasional e-mails and the traffic report on norwalkcity.com, the website is attracting fresh visitors on a daily basis. Thus a new blog entry with the City of Norwalk blog.
The Vandalism Report I wrote on April 2009 was viewed numerous times and we can assume that Norwalk residents are concerned for the safety and well being of the neighborhood especially for the homeowners. There is not a single homeowner that would want neighbor vandalism and hate crimes occurring in their neighbor and irresponsible homeowners that neglect maintaining their properties either. This morning, I received an e-mail from a gentleman named Marco that showed deep concern with Norwalk city’s public safety.
Hi there – My name is Marco, I’m a native son of 90650. I moved back to Norwalk after being gone for about 15 years or so, a little over a year ago. Since then I’ve taken up a committed interest in the community (my family is all here) and as such I serve as a Public Safety Commissioner.
I’m well aware of the evolving technology that people are using nowadays. I had a similar thought, that using media such as Twitter, Facebook, etc, was one of the more effective ways to get the message out and reach more people.
For my own part, I created a Facebook group called “Norwalk Rocks!” and I’m using it as my own vehicle for communication. You have the upper hand on me, however 
Two thumbs up for running this blog. I’d love to maybe chat sometime about issues that you clearly have first-hand experience with. Maybe there is something we can do.
Thanks for your time.
Marco A Guzman
Mr. Guzman took the initiative to look out for the Norwalk residents by serving as the Public Safety Commissioner. Residents like Mr. Guzman are proud homeowners and residents of Norwalk, and take great effort for the betterment of their neighborhood and community. If everyone participates and actually cares to make their neighborhood a safer and peaceful place, progress will be visible everywhere you drive. Unfortunately Norwalk residents are being apathetic about neighborhood vandalism, graffiti problems, noise control issues, and other public safety problems.
If you find relevant news and information regarding the city of Norwalk, please do not hesitate to contact me and factual news and info will be posted on a regular basis to inform the residents of Norwalk. Neighboring cities like Downey and Cerritos are also welcome if the news might have an effect on the Norwalk residents too. Thank you.

LA Times reported today that two dead leopard sharks were found dumped in a residential trash bin. The dead carcasses are been examined in Downey for the cause and to obtain any information.
Animal control officers are trying to figure out how two adult leopard sharks ended up in a trash can outside a Norwalk home.
A woman said she smelled a foul odor coming from a garbage can outside her house Monday and when she peeked inside found the two dead 4-foot sharks staring up at her, said Aaron Reyes, director of operations in the area for the L.A. County animal control authority.
“Stuffed in there, just sort of curled in and, you know, thrown on top of each other,” Reyes said.

Norwalk residents with old gas-guzzling vehicles, please trade your cars at a local auto dealer with a modern gas-conservative vehicle. There are numerous car dealers within Norwalk and cities neighboring Norwalk. Norwalk Toyota and the Ford dealer comes to mind. As you probably have heard or read, the Obama administration began a program called “Cash For Clunckers” in which anyone can trade in their old vehicles for a new one with a $4,500 rebate generally paid by the government. The only requirement is that your old trade-in must get less than 18 gallons per mile city and highway combined. The program received an enormous interests in the nation as the reserved government funding was used up within one week! So the Congress and Obama administration officials are working on extending the funding to meet the demands.
For those now looking to trade in their old clunkers, Cerritos auto square is the largest auto center in the United States and you will find most car brand there within walking distances. I highly recommend Hyundai and GM for their affordable new cars.
Requirements for your trade-in vehicles are:
- have been manufactured less than 25 years before the date you trade it in and, in the case of a category 3 vehicle, must also have been manufactured not later than model year 2001
- have a “new” combined city/highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less
- be in drivable condition
- be continuously insured and registered to the same owner for the full year preceding the trade-in
- Please refer to cars.gov for full information.
