Vote on Measure A

Los Rios will hold a Student Special Election on Measure A: Extending the Los Rios-RT Universal Transit Pass Program on Tuesday, October 10, and Wednesday, October 11. Measure A is a proposed extension of the existing Universal Transit Pass (UTP) program. The UTP program gives eligible students access to a semester-long Regional Transit (RT) pass. If approved, this measure would extend the UTP program through December 31, 2028. Students currently paying the UTP would not see any increase in their per-unit fees. For more information, go to losrios.edu/measurea.

POV: It's Your First Year at SCC!

We are excited to invite all potential future students and first year students to participate in Panther POV on Thursday, October 12, 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., in the Quad (rain plan: Student Center).


Panther POV is an opportunity for prospective students and their families to learn about SCC's academic programs and get connected with resources on campus. There will be lots of information available and program representatives will be onsite to answer questions. If you know someone who may be interested in enrolling at SCC at some point, bring them!

Thanks to a $100,000 grant from Johnson Control Inc (JCI), SCC has been able to offer scholarships, tool bags, textbooks and loaner laptops for all MET program students! The partnership with JCI has been ongoing, with the company increasing their contribution from last year's $90,000 grant. The funding will change lives, supporting our MET students in their pursuit of careers in engineering, technicians and community leaders.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is held each October as a way to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. Communities and advocacy organizations across the country connect with the public and one another throughout the month to raise awareness about the signs of abuse and ways to stop it, and to uplift survivor stories.


This is a chance for all of us to unite in the work to end domestic violence. We invite advocates, loved ones, supporters, and others to join together in solidarity, and to listen to and uplift survivors directly. With so many people speaking in a unified voice throughout October, we can raise our collective awareness about domestic violence to end abuse for good.


To find out ways to get involved or learn more, please visit the WEAVE, Inc. website.

How to Avoid Phishing Emails

Phishing scams continue to grow increasingly frequent and hard to spot, but please be aware that the Los Rios colleges will not contact you directly via email with job applications or requesting your personal information. Los Rios job opportunities are posted on Handshake. Some things to look for that might indicate the email you’re looking at is a phishing scam:


  • Urgent action demands
  • Odd or unrecognizable “Sender” email address or URLs
  • Poor grammar and spelling errors
  • An unfamiliar greeting or salutation
  • Requests for login credentials, payment information, or sensitive data
