Cerritos College

Things to Note

>>> Have You Driven the Electric Mini Cooper? 

All employees are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to test out the Electric Mini Coopers which we are leasing from MINI USA.

In the one-year test program, the college provides feedback to Mini as to how the vehicles perform in real conditions.  The Mini-E is a concept car and is not expected to be put on the market any time soon - this is your only chance to experience one!  All college employees who are approved by the campus police to drive college-owned vehicles can drive them.

Priority is given to the college's official business such as off-site events and meetings, but for other use, arrangements can be made with the Automotive Department!  Contact David Roper, at extension 2935 or droper@cerritos.edu for the detail.  To get clearance to drive college vehicles, bring your driver’s license to the Campus Police and fill out paperwork. It may take up to two weeks to get clearance.

>>> Nomination Period for Outstanding Faculty - Time to nominate a faculty, instructor, coach, librarian, counselor, or student service for Outstanding Faculty. The nominations are until December 2. You can also nominate on-line through Faculty Senate website.

>>> Cerritos College Community Education offers the Basic Motorcycle course on the weekends, all year long.

The 15-hour course consists of three classes over two weekends, which includes one day of classroom learning and two days on the bikes practicing skills. Bikes and helmets will be provided.  A current driver’s license or permit is required to sign up for the class. The classes start every week so one can begin any time at one’s convenience.

The cost is $250 for those over 21 and $150 for those under 21. Upon successful completion of the course the students will receive a waiver from the driving portion of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) riding test.

Cerritos College Community Education also offers other motorcycle classes such as the Experienced Rider Course for those who have a motorcycle license but would enjoy a safety review.
