Student athletes must be enrolled in at least 12 units each semester. The college’s history begins in 1925 when the Lassen Union High School District established a Junior College Department and began holding classes on the high school campus. Lassen Community College District separated from the high school district in 1965, and construction on the current campus began in 1971, featuring classrooms, laboratories, faculty and staff officers, a dormitory, a library, a college union, computer room, a large gymnasium and other outdoor recreation facilities.
