El Monte-Rosemead Adult School (EMRAS) offers a clear and supportive registration process for adult learners in the San Gabriel Valley. The school provides free academic programs and low-cost career training options to help residents meet their educational and employment goals. The EMRAS registration process is available online and in-person, allowing students to begin or resume their education with flexible scheduling and dedicated support.

Located at 10807 Ramona Blvd. in El Monte, EMRAS welcomes students aged 18 and older to enroll in one of several programs, including English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), High School Diploma (HSD), High School Equivalency (HSE), Career Technical Education (CTE), and Community Education classes. Each program has different steps for enrollment, but all students begin by creating a student profile on the EMRAS website.

Academic Programs Require Testing and Orientation

Students enrolling in academic programs like ESL, ABE, HSD, or HSE must complete a placement test before registering. Testing is conducted in person on campus and ensures that each student is placed in the right class level. After testing, students are scheduled for a mandatory orientation session. During orientation, school policies, attendance rules, and program expectations are explained.

Some students, especially those seeking a high school diploma or equivalency, must also meet with a counselor. Counselors help review transcripts, develop graduation plans, and guide students through available options.

Once these steps are complete, students can register for classes through their student account. Academic classes such as ESL and HSD are offered at no cost, making them accessible to any adult seeking a second chance at education.

CTE and Community Education Classes Open to All

Unlike academic programs, Career Technical Education (CTE) and Community Education courses do not require placement testing or orientation. After creating a student account, prospective students can immediately sign up for classes online. Many of these classes are fee-based and include training in career pathways such as health care, office skills, and technology. Class fees and supply costs are listed in the course schedule.

Students enrolling in CTE or Community Education courses may still receive help from school staff. In-person assistance is available for anyone who needs help navigating the registration system or making payment arrangements. A valid photo ID is required for in-person support.

Support for All Learners

EMRAS offers assistance to students who may not have access to technology. Staff are available to help with account creation and class selection. Bilingual support is often available, with registration assistance offered in Spanish and Chinese depending on staffing.

Registration is ongoing throughout the year. Students can find current course offerings, testing schedules, and account creation instructions on the school’s official website at emras.emuhsd.org.

For more information or to register in person, visit the EMRAS main office or call the school’s front desk. Whether returning to school for a diploma or starting a new career path, EMRAS provides the tools to move forward.
