  • The City of El Monte’s “Orange Line” runs approximately every 40 minutes and has a stop on Garvey and Tyler, just a few steps away from EMEC!

COMPUTER LAB

Are you looking for a quiet place to study? EMEC has a computer lab where you can type and print your papers, research for projects, and study for a test.

A state-of-the-art Computer Lab is available to students throughout the semester.  It is located in EM 102 and the hours vary each semester, check the Class Schedule for the Computer Lab hours for the current semester.

Students must have a Rio Hondo College ID card to sign in to use the Lab.

COUNSELING

DISABLED STUDENTS PROGRAMS & SERVICES (DSPS)

Accommodations can be made for students in need of extra time and/or a quiet space to take exams on site. Other services are available by arrangement with DSPS at the main campus.

EMERGENCY BLUE LIGHT

There is an emergency intercom that serves as a direct link to the main campus. It is located in the parking lot near the southwest corner of the campus.

FINANCIAL  AID

EMEC staff is available to assist you with filling out the Federal Application for Free Student Aid (FAFSA).  In order to apply for financial aid you must bring with you your last year’s income tax forms (e.g. 2016 – 2017 FAFSA requires 2015 tax forms).  Apply at “www.fafsa.ed.gov” Rio Hondo College code is #001269. This application will also serve to inform Rio Hondo College and the State of California about your qualifications for state financial aid.

FOOD/SNACKS

There are two vending machines located in the alcove next to the Women’s restroom; one with soft drinks and the other with snacks. Also, right next door is Church’s Chicken, and across the street on the opposite corner is Taco Bell. Just around the corner on Garvey is a Wienerschnitzel; which is within walking distance from EMEC.  There are many other delicious food choices that are 5 minutes by car.
