History Moorpark College was established in 1963 by the Governing Board of the Ventura County Community College District. Soon after, a 134-acre site on Moorpark�s eastern city boundary was secured in a combination donation/purchase from the Strathearns, a local ranching family. In 1965, taxpayers passed an $8 million bond to build the first phase of the district�s second community college. Construction of the Administration, Library, Science, Technology, Campus Center, Gymnasium and Maintenance buildings began in 1966. With the paint barely dry and remnants of construction rubble still evident, Moorpark College opened on September 11, 1967. Dr. John Collins, the College�s first president, greeted nearly 1,400 students and 50 new faculty members on that day. Enrollment doubled in the first few years as the College added vocational education to its role of preparing students for transfer to four-year schools. Dr. Robert Lombardi became the College�s second president in 1971. Dr. Ray Hearon held the longest term as president, serving from 1974-1989. The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 to spearhead construction of an athletic stadium, amphitheater and observatory. In 1985, the 4,000-seat stadium was named for Paul Griffin, Jr., a local developer and major benefactor. In 1987, the Carlsberg Amphitheater and Charles Temple Observatory were dedicated as part of the College�s 20th anniversary celebration. During the 1980s, several other buildings were completed: Applied Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities/ Social Science, Music, and Student Services. In 1989, the Center for Learning Assistance Services opened for service. Dr. Stanley Bowers served as president from 1989-1991, followed by Roger Boedecker, who served from 1991-1992. Dr. James Walker became president in 1992, but was called away to serve as Interim Chancellor in 1995. Dr. Darlene Pacheco served as interim president during Walker�s absence from 1995-1996. Fiscal constraint, brought about by the state�s economic downturn, stalled growth at the College in the early 1990s. Despite hard times, the College completed state-funded construction of the Communications Building (1991) and the Performing Arts Center (1995). The forensics team maintained national ranking while the athletic teams continued to dominate the Western State Conference. In 1997, the Child Development Center and Disabled Students� Center were expanded. In 1998, two new conference rooms were built in the Campus Center and an acoustic shell was installed on the Main Stage of the Performing Arts Center. In 1999, the 27,000 square foot Fred Kavli Science Center opened, housing the math, science and computer studies programs. This facility also provides student access to a 50-station computer lab. In 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register for classes online at: www.moorparkcollege.edu. In 2000, a high school for high potential juniors and seniors opened on the Moorpark College campus. In 2001 the first High School at Moorpark College graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura Welcome to Moorpark College Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 5 Welcome to Moorpark College County voters passed Measure S, a bond that will provide $356 million in construction financing for the Ventura County Community Colleges, of which $104 million will be used to renovate/expand Moorpark College. Moorpark College is poised to grow to 17,000 students by the year 2015 and bond monies will fund 23 new or renovated classroom buildings and related facilities. In July 2002, Dr. Eva Conrad became Moorpark�s eighth president replacing Walker who retired. Fall 2002 enrollment swelled to 15,400 and work began on a new Library and Learning Resources Center. In 2004 the college�s first bond project was completed: a parking lot renovation that added 600 spaces. In 2005, the second bond project was completed: the installation of an all-weather track and artificial turf playing field. In September 2005, the new Library/Learning Resources building opened. A new child development center opened in January of 2007. February 2007 marked the beginning of an endangered butterfly species captive rearing program at America�s Teaching Zoo. The Palos Verdes blue butterfly�s primary rearing site is in San Pedro on government land. In 1997, graphics professor Ted Phillips created a 30th anniversary logo that featured cypress trees and the fountain. In 1998, college officials adopted this logo for business cards and stationary. In 2006, the college chose Ventura-based BBM&D to update the seal as well as design a new logo that can be used on stationery, on all printed outreach materials and on the web. In May 2007, the college unveiled the new seal in preparation for adoption of a whole new logo. The new logo was adopted at the start of the college�s 40th year in August 2007. The college uses the seal for ceremonial purposes and official transcript documents and the logo for all corporate identity and marketing projects. The old library was renamed Fountain Hall and opened for classes in Fall 2007. In July 2008, Dr. Pam Eddinger became Moorpark�s ninth president, replacing Dr. Conrad who retired. Fall 2008 enrollment swelled to 15,800 and construction began on the Health Sciences Complex and the Academic Center with expected completion during 2010-2011. Through its continued attention to quality and innovation, Moorpark College has become one of the top community colleges in the nation. Based on enrollment, Moorpark ranks first in the state for transfer to the University of California and California State University systems.

Students who have lived in California for more than one year but less than two years will be asked to show proof of legal California residence. The burden of proof lies with the student, who must present documentation of both physical presence in the state for at least one year and one day, and intent to establish permanent California residence. Failure to present such proofs will result in a nonresident classification for admission and tuition purposes. A list of acceptable proof documents is available from the Office of Registration & Records Office. Students who are former residents of California and have been absent from the State, but who attended a California high school for three years and graduated from a California high school may be eligible for exemption from the requirement to pay nonresident tuition fees while they reestablish their legal residence in the State. Contact the Office of Registration & Records for more information on California Law AB 540. Nonresidents A nonresident is a student who has not lived in California continuously for one year and one day prior to the beginning of the semester he or she is planning to attend, or who is unable to present proof of intent to establish permanent California residency.

These programs require special admissions procedures that are detailed within the �List of Courses.� Prerequisites and Corequisites Moorpark College is fully committed to providing educational opportunities to all students and fostering student success. Some courses require specialized training or preparation to ensure success. Such criteria or �prerequisites� have been established as a means of notifying students of the skills and abilities needed to succeed in a specific course. Students should carefully review prerequisites and corequisites listed in the college catalog before enrolling in classes. Important Definitions PREREQUISITES: A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must possess prior to enrollment and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed in the course or program. It is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in a course or educational program. For example, a student enrolling in general chemistry will have difficulty without adequate preparation in algebra. Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of �C� or better prior to registration in a specific course. Courses taken without the required prerequisite may not be accepted by the college or transfer institutions. Students currently enrolled in prerequisite courses will be allowed to register for the next course but will be dropped from that course if the prerequisite course is not successfully completed. Evidence of prerequisite completion at other institutions will be required prior to enrollment. COREQUISITE: A corequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must acquire through concurrent enrollment in another course and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed. It is a condition of enrollment consisting of a course that a student is required to simultaneously take in order to enroll in another course. Students who drop one corequisite course may be dropped from the other course as well. RECOMMENDED PREPARATION: This specifies the preparation suggested by faculty that is expected to help students successfully complete a particular course. While encouraged to do so, students do not have to satisfy recommended preparation guidelines to enroll in a course. LIMITATIONS ON ENROLLMENT: Be sure to check other restrictions that must be met in order for a student to register for a specific class. For example, a child development course might state the following: �Proof of negative TB clearance is required.� Course prerequisites, corequisites or recommended preparation/other limitations are specified within course descriptions provided in �The List of Courses� that is presented in the center section of this catalog. They are also specified in each semester�s Schedule of Classes. A course has no prerequisites or corequisites unless so designated. Students must satisfy the prerequisite or corequisite requirements for all courses in which they enroll. PREREQUISITE EQUIVALENCY: Students who have completed course work at the high school level or at another college that could be seen as equivalent to a course�s stated prerequisite need to have official transcripts sent to the Moorpark College Counseling Department so the equivalency can be verified and recorded. Students may hand carry official (unopened) transcripts to the Counseling Office prior to registration to expedite the review process. The counselors will review the transcripts and determine how the previous courses meet the stated prerequisites. Additional documentation may be required to make the determination. Specific prerequisite clearance must be requested prior to registration. Once it has been determined by a counselor that previous course work does indeed meet stated prerequisites, then a �Prerequisite for Course Equivalency� form can be completed, signed, and submitted to Registration & Records, so the student can proceed with course registration. CHALLENGING A PREREQUISITE OR COREQUISITE: It is recognized that students may have preparation equivalent to the stated prerequisites or corequisites or may wish to challenge a prerequisite or corequisite as allowed by state law. The petition for challenging a prerequisite or corequisite is available in the Counseling Office. The student shall bear the initial burden of showing that grounds exist for the challenge. If you have any questions or need help, make an appointment with a counselor by calling (805) 378-1428. The following lists the grounds in which a challenge may be pursued: � the student will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal of his/her educational plan because the prerequisite or corequisite course has not been made reasonably available. � the prerequisite or corequisite is not valid because it is not necessary for success in the course for which it is required (student documentation required). � the prerequisite or corequisite is unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner (student documentation required). � the student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite (student documentation required). Special Admissions for Minors Concurrently Enrolled in High School or Below In accordance with the California Education Code, students in grades K-12 may be permitted to enroll in college courses as Special Admission students. The intent of Special Admissions is to provide minors who can benefit from advanced scholastic and vocational education the opportunity to take college level courses that are not available through their primary school or other alternatives.

Educational Workload A student�s educational workload generally consists of fifteen (15) units of course work per semester in order to make normal progress toward an Associate Degree, a Certificate of Achievement or timely transfer to a four-year institution. Students desiring to take an overload � more than nineteen and a half (19.5) units but less than twenty-two (22) � must have a counselor�s approval. Students desiring to take twenty-two (22) units or more must have the approval of both a counselor and the Dean of Student Life. To make a counseling appointment, call (805) 378-1428. A Realistic Course Load A major consideration for students, particularly first time students or those returning to college after a lengthy absence is a determination of an appropriate load. While the number of courses one can handle during a semester varies among individuals, experience indicates that for most students typical lecture courses require two hours of outside preparation time for each hour in class. Thus, a 12-unit course load, for example, represents a weekly commitment of 36 hours. For a four-unit class that meets for eight weeks, the time commitment would be eight hours in class and 16 hours of preparation each week, totaling 24 hours a week. Moorpark College wants students to succeed so advises establishing a realistic course load, given individual work, class and family commitments. Class Attendance Failure of a student to be present at the first scheduled meeting of a class may result in being dropped from that class, especially if other eligible students are present and seeking admission to the class. It is the responsibility of students, at the beginning of the semester, to become aware of the attendance policies of the instructor for each class in which they are enrolled. Succeeding as a Student 18 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Succeeding as a Student Students are responsible for maintaining regular class attendance. When a student�s absence exceeds in number 1/9 of the total class contact hours for the session (e.g., absence from a semester-long class equal to twice the number of hours the class meets in one week), the instructor may, after due warning, drop the student from the class. If dropped from class, a student may petition the instructor for reinstatement when just cause for the absence exists. The student must provide valid documentation to support the petition. If the reason for absence is directly related to the class environment (e.g., sexual harassment, sexual assault, discrimination) the student should start the process of review and intervention with either the specific Division Dean or Dean of Student Life. The matter may also be brought to the attention of the Executive Vice President of Student Learning at (805) 378-1403. Campus Life Students achieve success more consistently if they feel a connection to the campus where they attend classes. These friendships and activities contribute to each student�s future success. From Student Government to a variety of interest based clubs, Moorpark College offers students various ways to be involved on campus. Intercollegiate Athletics Moorpark College offers a wide variety of programs for men and women interested in competing at an intercollegiate level. The Raiders field the following teams for women: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, track and field, and volleyball. Men�s teams are baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, track and field, and volleyball. The athletic teams compete in the Western State Conference, one of the finest conferences in California. Every sport enjoys equal status at Moorpark College. This philosophy is clearly demonstrated by the College�s successes in the Western State Conference Athletic Supremacy race, which awards the conference�s best overall athletic program. Moorpark has been a consistent contender in this competition with outstanding performances in all sports. The Athletic Department prides itself on outstanding classroom success of its student athletes. In the last seven years, the female Pepsi Scholar Athlete of the Year (top state award given from 25,000 participants) has been TWICE from Moorpark College. Several teams have won Scholar Team awards as well. To compete in intercollegiate athletics, students must meet the eligibility requirements of the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA). First time participants must be actively enrolled in 12 units of study, 9 of which must be part of the student�s educational plan. Second year participants must have passed 24 units with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. All teams require an advanced degree of skill. Student athletes must be willing to devote extra time to traveling to contests and practice. Forensics Team (Speech and Debate) Moorpark College Forensics proudly owns the top record of any team in America at the National Championships. Forensics team participants regularly transfer to the finest schools across the country in their respective majors.

Policies and Standards Course Credit and Grades Grading Practices Work in all courses acceptable in fulfillment of the requirements for associate degrees, certificates, diplomas, licenses, or baccalaureate-level work shall be graded in accordance with the provisions adopted by the District Governing Board for the following sections which relate to the letter grading scale, the Pass/No Pass options, or Credit by Examination. Grading System The quality of a student�s work will be measured by the following letter grades: Symbol Definition Grade Points/Unit A = Excellent .............................................................4 points per semester unit B = Good.....................................................................3 points per semester unit C = Satisfactory .........................................................2 points per semester unit D = Passing (but less than satisfactory) ................... 1 point per semester unit F = Failing.................................................................. 0 point per semester unit CRE = Credit by exam (satisfactory) 0 point per semester unit (unit credit granted) (Replaced CR effective Fall 2009) P = Pass (at least satisfactory) Units awarded not counted in GPA (formerly CR). NP = No Pass (less than satisfactory or failing) Units not counted in Grade Point Average (formerly NCR). Work at a �D� level is not considered to be passing by these criteria. Grades from the letter grading scale shall be averaged on the basis of the numerical grade point equivalencies to determine a student�s grade point average (GPA). The District Governing Board has authorized the use of only the nonevaluative symbols �I,� �RD� and �W,� which are defined as follows: I - Incomplete Students who are at the end of a term and have failed to complete the required academic work of a course because of unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable reasons may receive a symbol �I� (Incomplete) on their records. The conditions for receiving a letter grade and for the removal of the �I� must be stated by the instructor in a written record which must also state the grade to be assigned in lieu of the removal of the �I.� This record must be given to the student and a copy is to be placed on file with the Registrar until the conditions are met (the �I� is made up) or the time limit is passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed. The �I� may be made up no later than one year following the end of the term for which it was assigned. The �I� symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted or for grade point averages. RD - Report Delayed The �RD� symbol may only be assigned by the Registrar. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanent symbol as soon as possible. �RD� shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. W - Withdrawal A student may withdraw from a class through the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction for full-semester classes or through seventyfive percent (75%) of a class less than a semester in length. The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this time limit must reflect a grade other than a �W.� No notation (�W� or other) shall be made on the academic record of the student who withdraws during the first four weeks of a full-semester length class or thirty percent (30%) of a short-term course. Withdrawal between this no-notation deadline (roughly 30% of a course) and the drop deadline (roughly 75% of the course) shall be recorded as a �W� on the student�s record. Dates for specific courses are available by clicking on the online CRN for the class. Pass/No Pass Note: Credit/No Credit was changed to Pass/No Pass beginning 2009/2010. Colleges of the Ventura County Community College District may offer courses in two Pass/No Pass (P/NP) options: � Courses which are offered on a Pass/No Pass Credit basis only, or � Courses in which students may elect the Pass/No Pass option. Pass/No Pass only includes those courses in which all students in the course are evaluated on a P/NP basis as indicated in the course description in this Catalog. This P/NP grading option shall be used to the exclu- Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards Course Credit and Grade............................................22 Course Repitition.......................................................24 Probation, Dismissal & Readmission....................... 28 Dropping Class...........................................................29 Transfer and other Credits.........................................29 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 23 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards sion of all other grades in courses for which there is a single satisfactory standard of performance and for which unit credit is assigned. �Pass� shall be assigned for meeting that standard and �No Pass� for failure to do so. The second category, elective Pass/No Pass option is comprised of courses designated by the college wherein each student may elect by no later than the end of the first thirty percent (30%) of the term or length of the class whether the basis of evaluation is to be P/NP or a letter grade. Once the thirty percent (30%) deadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn and the student becomes ineligible to petition to change a grade. It is the student�s responsibility to notify the instructor of his/her intent to be graded on a P/NP basis and to file the appropriate form; otherwise, a letter grade will be assigned. The petition for this purpose, �Request for Pass/No Pass,� is available at Registration & Records (Admin bldg). All units earned on a P/NP basis from accredited California institutions of higher education or equivalent out-of-state institutions shall be counted toward satisfactory completion of community college curriculum requirements. A student may apply a maximum of 20 units of credit earned under the P/ NP option to an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. Exceptions to this unit limitation will be granted only to students enrolled in the designated occupational programs specified in the Credit by Examination statement later in this section. Pass (P) is used to denote �passed with credit� when no letter grade is given. �Pass� is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of �C� or better. Units earned on a P/NP basis shall not be used to calculate grade point averages; however, units attempted for which NP is recorded shall be considered when determining probation and dismissal status. Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may restrict the acceptance of courses taken on a P/NP basis, especially for satisfaction of requirements for the major. Availability of Semester Grades Grades for each semester are generally available online within 24 hours of each instructor submitting his/her grades. Students may access their grades at My.vcccd.edu or in person by presenting picture ID. Students with outstanding fees and/or obligations will not be able to access their grades until they have cleared their fees/obligations. If a student thinks the reported grade is in error, the first course of action is to contact the teacher for verification and/or to make an informal appeal. If a satisfactory resolution does not occur, the student is encouraged to contact the division dean for assistance. For any issues that remain unresolved after these informal attempts, the student may then appeal the situation by following the basic procedure spelled out in the Student Grievance Policy in Student Rights and Responsibilities section. Academic Dishonesty Moorpark College takes academic honesty very seriously. Instructors, accordingly, have the responsibility and authority for dealing with instances of cheating or plagiarism that may occur in their classes. Such activities could include stealing tests, using �cheat sheets,� using unauthorized technology, copying off another�s test, or turning in someone else�s work as his/her own. Instructors have the responsibility to report instances of plagiarism or cheating to the Dean of Student Life. Academic dishonesty, in any form, is a violation of the Moorpark College Student Code of Conduct as outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities section and, as such, is subject to investigation, charges of misconduct, and disciplinary consequences. Use of Listening Video, or Other Recording Devices State law in California prohibits the use of any electronic listening or recording device by anyone in a classroom without prior consent of the teacher and/or school administration. Any student who wishes to use electronic aids must secure the consent of the instructor. If the instructor agrees to the request, the notice of consent will be filed with the Executive Vice President, Student Learning. Students who need to use recording devices as an authorized disability accommodation must receive verification through ACCESS (805378-1461) and must provide this verification to the instructor prior to use. Student Due Process If a problem or complaint arises, students have rights of due process to have the matter or disciplinary action investigated as noted in the official Student Grievance Policy in the Student Rights and Responsibilities section. Most problems of this type (questions regarding grade, being dropped for poor attendance, etc.) involve misunderstandings, human error or lack of information about established rules and requirements. To address such problems, it is often best to speak directly with the staff member involved. If the matter is not clarified or resolved it may be useful to talk next with the responsible Division Dean. If the concern still persists, contact the Office of the Dean of Student Life at (805) 378-1408 or the Executive Vice President at (805) 378-1403. Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) Moorpark College cares about the success of every student. If a student�s conduct or behavior is interfering with that student attaining his or her educational goals there are services in place to offer guidance and assistance. The Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) will investigate allegations of misconduct as well as referrals of concern that are submitted. Although individual faculty or staff, as an official of the school, may have already discussed the conduct or concern with the student, if warranted, BIT will document this interaction and may also contact the student with clarification of college expectations and consequences and/or suggestions for assistance resources. Academic Policies and Standards 24 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Academic Policies and Standards Grade Changes The determination of the student�s grade by the instructor is final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetence. �Mistake� may include, but is not limited to, errors made by an instructor in calculating a student�s grade and clerical errors. �Fraud� may include, but is not limited to, inaccurate recording or change of a grade by any person who gains access to grade records without authorization. The instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be awarded to each student. Grades are assigned as a result of academic assessment made by the instructor of record of the course. Pass/No Pass grade designations, once applied to the transcript, cannot be changed to a letter grade. The removal or change of an incorrect grade from a student�s record shall only be done pursuant to Education Code 76232 and California AP, Title 5, Section 55760 or by an alternative method that ensures that each student shall be afforded an objective and reasonable review of the requested grade change. The procedure requires that student first request a grade change from the instructor. In cases where the student has filed a discrimination complaint, or if the instructor of record is not available, or where the district determines that there is a possibility of gross misconduct by the original instructor, provisions shall be made to allow another qualified faculty member to substitute for the instructor of record. The change of grade shall be requested by the student no more than three years after the term in which the grade was awarded. Exceptions to the time limit may be made if it is determined that the grade was awarded as a result of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetence of the instructor. The student may be required to provide documentation to support a request for a grade change that may include, but is not limited to, graded assignments and tests from the class in question or substantiation of verifiable extenuating circumstances. In the case of fraud, bad faith, or incompetence, the final determination concerning the removal or change of grade will be made by the Executive Vice President. In all cases, where means exist and when at all possible, the instructor who first awarded the grade will be given written notice of the change. Course Repetition General Guidelines for Repetition of Credit Courses � Students may repeat credit courses that are designated as repeatable in the College Catalog. � Students may repeat non-repeatable credit courses a maximum of two times for the purpose of alleviating a substandard grade. Substandard grades are defined as D, F, NC and NP. � Under special circumstances, students may be permitted to repeat nonrepeatable credit courses in which non-substandard or passing grades have been awarded. Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 25 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards Academic Record Once a grade is recorded, any withdrawal with a �W� following the receipt of that grade counts as a repetition attempt. Courses that are repeated shall be recorded on the student�s permanent academic record using an appropriate symbol. Annotating the permanent academic record shall be done in a manner that ensures all work remains legible, thereby generating a true and complete academic history. Nothing herein can conflict with Education Code Section 76224 pertaining to the finality of grades assigned by instructors, or with Title 5 or district procedures relating to retention and destruction of records. Course Repetition to Alleviate a Substandard Grade Students are permitted to repeat courses that are non-repeatable a maximum of two times for the purpose of alleviating a substandard grade. This rule applies to courses taken at any regionally accredited college, in which the student received a substandard grade as defined above. Once a passing grade of C/P/CR or better is received, he or she may not repeat the course again under this section. Under no circumstances may a student repeat a course more than two times under this section. In order to identify acceptable equivalencies in course and grading scale, course comparability shall be determined chiefly by content, as defined in the catalog course description, and not by course title or units. Upon completion of a repeated course the previous grade and credit shall be disregarded in the computation of grade point averages. Grades awarded in any subsequent repetitions (more than two) of the same course will not count in computing the student�s cumulative grade point average. The student�s permanent record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. A student who receives a substandard grade in a course that was approved for repetition due to a significant lapse of time will be permitted to utilize the grade alleviation process described in this section when the course in question is not designated as repeatable. In determining the transfer of a student�s credits, similar prior course repetition actions by other accredited colleges and universities shall be honored. Apportionment may be claimed for a maximum of two repetitions of a course to alleviate a substandard grade (or a total of three times). A non-repeatable course in which a grade of C/P/CR or better is earned may not be repeated except as allowed under special circumstances. Course Repetition Allowed under Special Circumstances: Significant Lapse of Time Students may petition only one time to repeat a course in which a satisfactory grade has already been awarded providing that one of the following conditions has been met: 1. course was successfully completed more than three years prior, and: 2. is required as a part of the student�s designated educational goal and/or 3. is in a sequence of courses based on prerequisites, or 4. another institution of higher education to which the student seeks to transfer has established a residency requirement which the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating the course in question. If it is determined that an activity course needs to be repeated pursuant to this section, the repetition shall count toward the three repetitions that are allowed for activity courses, except that if the student has already exhausted the activity course limitation, an additional repetition can be permitted due to lapse of time. When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, the previous grade and credit will be excluded from the calculations of the grade point average. The attendance of a student in a course that is approved for repetition due to lapse of time may be claimed only one time for apportionment funding. Course Repetition Allowed under Special Circumstances: Extenuating Circumstances Students may petition two times to repeat a course that is not designated as a repeatable course, regardless of whether or not substandard grades were previously recorded, if it is determined that there are extenuating circumstances which justify the repetition. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illness, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. The final determination of the petition is made by the Chief Instructional Officer. When a course is repeated pursuant to this section the previous grade and credit will be excluded from the calculations of the grade point average. The student�s permanent record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. The attendance of a student repeating a credit course by approved petition pursuant to this section may be claimed for apportionment funding for a maximum of two times. Academic Policies and Standards 26 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Academic Policies and Standards Course Repetition Allowed under Special Circumstances: Variable unit, Open Entry/Open Exit Courses Students may enroll in a variable unit, open entry/open exit course as many times as necessary to complete one time the entire curriculum of the course as described in the course outline of record, but may not repeat any portion of the curriculum for the course unless: 1. the course is required for legally mandated training; 2. the course is a special class for students with disabilities which the student needs to repeat as a verified disability-related accommodated; 3. repetition of the course to retake a portion of the curriculum is justified by verified extenuating circumstances; or 4. the student wishes to repeat the course to alleviate substandard work recorded for a portion of the curriculum. Students repeating a portion of a course pursuant to this section are subject to the repetition limitations applicable to repeatable courses. When a course is repeated pursuant to this section the previous grade and credit will be excluded from the calculations of grade point average. Course Repetition Absent Substandard Academic Work Under special circumstances, students may repeat courses in which a C or better grade was earned, or in which substandard academic work has not been recorded. Legally Mandated Training Requirement Students are allowed to repeat a course when repetition is necessary for the student to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of volunteer or paid employment. Students can repeat such courses any number of times, even if they received a grade of C or better. The grade received by the student each time will be included in calculations of the student�s grade point average. Students will be required to verify their volunteer or paid employment status. The term �legally mandated� is interpreted to mean �required by statute or regulation,� and excludes administrative policy or practice. Legally mandated training courses will conform to all attendance accounting, course approval and other requirements imposed by applicable provisions of law. The attendance of students in legally mandated training may be claimed for state apportionment without limitation. Courses Designated as Repeatable Repeatable courses are designated in the College Catalog. A course may be designated as repeatable if it meets the following criteria: � the course content differs each time it is offered, or � the course is an activity course where the student meets course objectives by repeating a similar primary educational activity and the gains an expanded educational experience each time the course is repeated because: - skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods; or - active participatory experience in individual study or group assignments is the basic means by which learning objectives are achieved. The district will devise and implement a mechanism for the proper monitoring of such repetition. Students may repeat courses that have been designated as repeatable, for a maximum of three times (course can be taken four times total). When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, the grade received each time will be included in the calculations of grade point average. Pursuant to AP 4225, this shall include any withdrawals with a grade of �W� subsequent to the first class enrollment and the award of a grade therein. Where the colleges establish several levels of courses which consist of similar educational activities, repetition limitations applicable to this section apply to all levels of such courses. (Example: PE 1A, PE 1B and PE 1C may be taken in any combination a maximum of four times.) The attendance of students in credit activity courses may be claimed for apportionment a maximum of four times inclusive of summer and other inter-sessions. This limitation applies even if the student receives a substandard grade for one or more of the enrollments in the activity course, or receives a withdrawal with a �W� after a grade has been awarded for a previous enrollment. Repetition of Special Classes Students with disabilities can repeat a special class for students with disabilities any number of times when an individualized determination verifies that such repetition is required as a disability-related accommodation. Such determination will generally be provided by a qualified instructor or academic counselor. The individualized determination must verify one of the following conditions: � the success of the student in other general and/or special classes is dependent on additional repetitions of the specific special class in question; � additional repetitions of the special class in question are essential to completing the student�s preparation for enrollment into other regular or special classes; or � the student has a student educational contract which involves a goal other than completion of the special class in question and repetition of the course will further the achievement of that goal. The attendance of a student with a disability may be claimed for state apportionment each time the student repeats a special class as a disability- related accommodation which is justified by one of the circumstances noted above. When a grade is received pursuant to this section, the latest grade received will be included in the calculation of the grade point average, with all grades remaining visible on the transcript. Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 27 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards Repetition of Cooperative Work Experience Education Courses Students are allowed to repeat a cooperative work experience course if a college only offers one course in cooperative work experience. Where only one work experience course is offered, students may be permitted to repeat this course any number of times as long as they do not exceed the limits on the number of units of cooperative work experience set forth in Title 5 Section 55253(a). Prior approval for students seeking course repetition under special circumstances shall be required. The �Petition for Course Repetition� is available in the Counseling Office (Admin bldg). Important Note: Students should understand that other colleges or universities may not accept credit for work which represents a repetition of work. In addition, there is no assurance that repeated courses resulting in an improvement in grade will be accepted by other colleges or universities. Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition Students may petition to have a portion of previous substandard college work disregarded in meeting academic requirements in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate the completion of requirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate. The following grading symbols are defined as substandard: D, F, NC, NP. A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade point calculations and credits from selected portions of previous substandard college work which is not reflective of the student�s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. The student may petition for Academic Renewal to disregard previous substandard college work by selecting one of the following options: � disregard a maximum of 15 or fewer semester units of any courses with less than a �C� or equivalent grade taken during any one or two terms (maximum two terms), not necessarily consecutively; or � disregard all courses from two consecutive terms (one summer or intersession may be regarded as equivalent to one semester at the student�s discretion). Courses and units taken at any institution may be disregarded. Academic renewal may be granted only to a student who: � has completed at least 12 units in residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District � has submitted transcripts of all college work � has waited two years since the course work to be disregarded was completed � has subsequently completed at least 30 semester units with a minimum 2.40 GPA. The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will honor similar actions by other accredited colleges and universities in determining grade point averages and credits. The petition for this purpose, �Petition for Academic Renewal,� is available in the Counseling Office (Admin bldg). Once the Petition of Academic Renewal is granted, the student�s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history. The student should be aware that other colleges or universities may have different policies concerning Academic Renewal and may not honor this policy. Remedial Course Limit The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) offer courses which are defined as remedial. �Remedial coursework� refers to pre-collegiate basic skills courses in reading, writing, computation, learning skills, and English as a Second Language which are designated by the college district as not applicable to the Associate Degree. Students enrolled in remedial courses will receive unit credit and will be awarded an academic record symbol on transcripts as defined under other academic policies; however, the units earned in these remedial courses do not apply toward certificates of achievement or associate degrees. These courses are designated by the letter �N� on the student transcript. No students shall receive more than 30 semester units of credit for remedial coursework. This limitation of 30 units applies to all remedial coursework completed at any of the campuses of the college district (Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura Colleges). It does not apply to remedial coursework completed at colleges outside the District. Students transferring from other educational institutions outside VCCCD shall be permitted to begin with a �clean slate� with regard to the remedial limitation. The 30-unit limit applies to all remedial coursework attempted; however, in the event that some of these 30 units are substandard and a student successfully repeats one or more courses in which substandard grades were earned, then the 30-unit limit would be modified by the application of the Course Repetition Policy. The Office of Student Learning shall maintain a list of remedial courses for each academic year. Students should be aware that this policy applies to all students enrolled in remedial coursework; however, students receiving financial aid have more restrictive limitations imposed upon them by the federal government. Students are advised to contact the Financial Aid Office for details. Academic Policies and Standards 28 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Academic Policies and Standards Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission of Students Probation, dismissal, and readmission policies and procedures are designed to assist students in making progress toward realistic academic, career, and personal goals. Standards for Probation There are two types of probation: ACADEMIC PROBATION: A student who has attempted at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on academic probation if the student has earned a grade point average below 2.0 in all units which were graded on the basis of the grading scale established by the Ventura County Community College District. PROGRESS PROBATION: A student who has enrolled in a total of at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on progress probation when the percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled and for which entries of �W,� �I,� and �NC� are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). A student transferring to a college of the Ventura County Community College District from another college is subject to the same probation and dismissal policies as students of this college district. Special Note to students Claiming Veterans Benefits: A veteran is placed on academic probation when less than 50% of units attempted are completed and less than 2.0 semester grade point average was earned, or less than 2.0 cumulative grade point average is earned. Unsatisfactory progress is defined as being on academic probation for two consecutive semesters. The school will report unsatisfactory progress to the V.A., resulting in termination of benefits. The veteran must receive academic counseling before benefits will be reinstated. Notification of Probation Each college in this Ventura County Community College District shall notify a student who is placed on probation at or near the beginning of the semester in which it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall semester. Moorpark College mails a letter indicating either academic or progress probation to the home address indicated in the student�s records. In addition, each enrolled student�s probation status is recorded at the end of each term as part of the student�s academic record; the notation specifies the student�s status for both academic and progress categories as either �in good standing� or �on probation.� A student placed on probation must, as a condition of continuing enrollment, receive counseling and the regulation of his/her academic program. Each probationary student shall also receive any other support services needed to help overcome the perceived academic difficulties. Students may view their own academic records online by visiting www. moorparkcollege.edu and clicking on the MyVCCCD icon. Removal from Probation A student on academic probation for a grade point deficiency shall be removed from probation when the student�s cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher. A student on progress probation because of an excess of units for which entries of �W,� �I� and �NP� are recorded shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units in this category drops below fifty percent (50%). Standards for Dismissal A student who is on academic probation shall be dismissed if the student earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 1.75 in all units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters. A student who has been placed on progress probation shall be subject to dismissal if the percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled and for which entries of �W,� �I� and �NP� are recorded in at least three consecutive semesters reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). Notification of Dismissal Each college in the Ventura County Community College District shall notify a student who is dismissed at or near the beginning of the semester in which it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall semester. Moorpark College mails a letter indicating �academic dismissal� to the home address indicated in the student�s records. In addition, each enrolled student�s probation status is recorded at the end of each term as part of the student�s academic record; the notation specifies the student�s status for both academic and progress categories as either �in good standing� or �dismissed.� A student who is dismissed has the right of appeal. An exception to academic dismissal may be made only in the event of extreme and unusual medical and/or legal circumstances that can be supported by evidence provided by the student, or in the event of improved scholarship. The petition for this purpose, �Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission,� is available in the Counseling Office (Admin bldg). Students may view their own academic records online by visiting www.moorparkcollege.edu and clicking on the MyVCCCD icon. Continued Enrollment or Readmission A student applying for continued enrollment or readmission must submit a petition to explain what circumstances or conditions would justify continued enrollment or readmission. A student applying for readmission shall not be reinstated until a minimum of one semester has elapsed after academic dismissal. A student who is petitioning shall receive counseling to assess his or her academic and career goals and must have counselor approval of his or her educational program prior to registration. The petition for this purpose, �Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission,� is available in the Counseling Office (Admin bldg). Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 29 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards Counseling Services Counseling services will be provided for students on academic or progress probation or subject to dismissal. Students on probation and subject to dismissal may have units limited and courses or an educational plan prescribed subject to the professional judgment of the counselor. Students subject to academic dismissal shall be required to meet with a counselor prior to registration. Dropping a Class or Withdrawal from College It is the student�s responsibility to drop or withdraw from a course. Students may drop classes up to the final drop deadline using any of the following methods: my.vcccd.edu, in person, via fax, or via mail. Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal through the end of the fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or during the first thirty percent (30%) of a class less than a semester in length. This action results in no record of the dropped classes appearing on student�s academic records (transcript). Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal between the end of the fourth week and the last day of the fourteenth week for full-semester classes. In a less than semester length class, students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal between the first 30% of the course and the end of seventy-five percent (75%) of a course. This action shall be recorded as a �W� on the student�s academic records. The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this 75% drop deadline must reflect a grading symbol other than �W.� The �W� shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive �Ws� shall be used as factors in probation and dismissal procedures. Withdrawal from a class may only be authorized after the designated time limit by petition and only then under extenuating circumstances of verified cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond control of the student. Approved petitions shall result in a �W� being recorded on a student�s academic record. The petition for this purpose, �Petition for Exception to Deadline is available online at www.moorparkcollege. edu or at the Office of Registration & Records (Admin bldg). When this grade change is made, the student�s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. Transfer and Other Credits College Board Advanced Placement Students who completed advanced placement courses while in high school and who have earned scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations taken before high school graduation will receive credit towards graduation at Moorpark College for tests completed. An official copy of the test scores must be submitted to the Registration & Records Office. Students granted credit for AP exams will not earn credit towards a Moorpark College degree for duplicated college courses. Students should schedule a counseling appointmen before taking courses which appear to duplicate AP exams and to discuss the specific unit value assigned to each examination and the applicability of this credit to the college�s general education requirements.

D2 Other colleges or universities have different policies concerning AP and may grant a different number of units or consider different courses as comparable courses. It is possible that other colleges and universities may not honor Moorpark College transcript entries which award AP credit for particular exams. Students planning to transfer should discuss the use of AP scores for meeting transfer requirements with their counselor. Repetition of General Education Credit Lower-division credit units previously earned by a student to fulfill general education requirements for a baccalaureate degree may be accepted to fulfill general education requirements for a designated associate degree only. Academic Policies and Standards 30 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Academic Policies and Standards Extension Course Credit Normally credit is not granted for extension course work, including correspondence courses. The acceptance of such units for credit by the college will depend on the treatment of the particular course by the institution that offered the course. A petition for acceptance of such course work should be accompanied by material that explains the course content and indicates the kind of credit given by the offering institution. In cases where the granting of credit for extension or correspondence courses is petitioned, it may be required that the student�s competency in such course work be validated according to credit-by-examination procedures, as explained elsewhere in this section. Credit for Military Service The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will recognize and grant credit to service personnel for formal educational training completed in the United States armed forces provided such credit is not a duplication of work taken previously. Service personnel may be allowed credit for formal service school courses offered by the United States Military Service recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. The credit allowed will be based upon the recommendations specified in the Guide. The maximum amount of credit which may be allowed toward satisfaction of college requirements shall be 12 units. Service personnel will be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level courses completed under the auspices of the Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) or the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. Service personnel will be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level courses completed at the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) at Port Hueneme based upon the recommendations of the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education of the American Council of Education. Such credit will be treated in the same manner and under the same policies as allowing credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Any work taken by service personnel while in military service at a regionally accredited college or university and for which the college or university issues a regular transcript showing the credits allowable towards its own degrees, will be allowed advanced standing credit toward the Associate Degree in the same manner as if the student had pursued the courses as a civilian. Credit by Examination Granting unit credit for a course by examination is based on the principle that previous experience, training, or instruction is the equivalent of a specific course taught by the college. If an examination indicates that the student possesses adequate equivalency and mastery of the subject, credit may be granted. All courses shall be open to credit by examination unless specifically exempted. Each division of the college shall determine the courses for which credit by examination may be granted and the Office of Instruction shall maintain a current list of courses excluded from this policy. For the purpose of this policy, a course shall mean an organized area of instruction as described in the college catalog. A student should be advised that the use of units given by credit by exam to establish eligibility for athletics, financial aid, and veteran�s benefits are subject to the rules and regulations of the external agencies involved. Exceptions to the above may be made when necessary to meet provisions of California state law or the rules and regulations of state agencies governing programs of the California Community Colleges. Credit by examination may be granted only to a student who is currently enrolled in at least one course in the college; has completed at least 12 units in residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; is not on academic probation; has submitted transcripts of all previous course work; has not earned college credit in more advanced subject matter; and, has not received a grade (A, B, C, D, F, C/NC, P/NP) or equivalent, in the course for which he or she is seeking credit by examination at this or any other educational institutions. A student seeking credit by examination will receive a CRE (credit) if he or she satisfactorily passes the examination; no other grade will be recorded. Students who are unsuccessful in an attempt to challenge by examination will not receive a NP (no pass) and no record of the attempt for credit by examination will appear on a student�s transcript. However, students may challenge a course only once. A student may challenge no more than 12 units (or 4 courses) under the Credit by Examination policy towards an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. The amount of unit credit granted by examination to an individual shall not count towards the minimum 12 units required for residency. Credit by examination may be granted in only one course in a sequence of courses, as determined by prerequisites and may not be granted for a course which is prerequisite to the one in which the student is currently enrolled. * Exceptions to the proposed statement are permitted for each college in those occupational programs where curriculum makes this necessary. The exceptions are as follows: � The 12-unit residency requirement is suspended, permitting students to petition for Credit by Examination prior to completion of that requirement; when the residency requirement has been met, the course(s) successfully challenged shall be added to the student�s record. � Credit by Examination may be granted for more than one course in a sequence of required courses, when approved by the administrator responsible for vocational programs. The petition for this purpose, �Petition for Credit by Examination,� is initiated in the Counseling Office (Admin bldg). A $26.00 per unit nonrefundable fee will be assessed to students petitioning for Credit by Exam. Approved petitions must be on file with the administering instructor by Friday of the tenth week of the full-length semester. The examination is to be administered prior to the last day of the final examination period. Credit (CRE) is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of �C� or better. Transcript entries shall distinguish credits obtained by examination from credits obtained as a result of regular course enrollment. The student�s academic record shall be clearly anno- Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 31 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards tated to reflect that credit was earned by examination. Students should be aware that other colleges may not accept credit by examination for transfer purposes. The following courses may not be taken under the �Credit by Examination� option: ANTH M05, HIST M60T, NS M49, PHOT M04, PHOT M09, RADT M49, and all Dance, Mathematics, World Languages, and PE activity courses. Articulated High School Credit by Exam Students must complete �Petition for Credit by Examination � High School Career and Technical Education CTE)� form, apply online to be a VCCCD student, and create an account in the CATEMA database. A high school student seeking credit by examination will receive non-letter grade credit �CRE� (credit) on their VCCCD transcript when the agreed articulated class requirements are successfully completed. High school articulated credit may only be petitioned at the time that the student is enrolled in the equivalent high school course; credit may not be petitioned retroactively. VCCCD credit will be awarded the same college semester as the petition for one semester classes or the subsequent college semester for year-long classes. Fees and tuition are subject to current Board of Trustees and VCCCD policy. Transfer Credit from Regionally Accredited Colleges and Universities Students transferring to the Ventura County Community Colleges from colleges accredited by the recognized regional accrediting associations will normally be granted lower-division credit for courses entered on officially certified transcripts. These transcripts must be sent to Moorpark College Registration & Records office. They will be evaluated based upon the current practices specified in the accredited institutions postsecondary education by the American Council on Education. Students transferring to the Ventura County Community College District from other regionally accredited colleges and universities are required to declare all previous college work. Failure to provide complete information may result in dismissal from the Ventura County Community Colleges. Transfer Credit from Foreign Colleges and Universities Students wishing to receive credit for previous course work from foreign colleges or universities must have their transcripts evaluated by an approved credential evaluation service. Students may receive information regarding the credential evaluation service from the Moorpark College International Student Office. Course work attempted will normally receive lower-division unit credit only. Requests for equivalent course credit are evaluated on an individual basis, based upon the recommendations of the transcript evaluation service and by the appropriate college discipline. Accuracy of the College Catalog Moorpark College is committed to providing students the most accurate, and current information available regarding the College�s programs, courses, regulations and policies, however, there may be times when course changes concerning prerequisites, content, hours, or units of credit are determined after publication of the catalog or when district policy or state regulation dictates a change in current practice. When such a circumstance arises, every effort will be made through the class schedules, public media, and at time of registration to notify students of any changes in the course descriptions or college policies as presented herein. Students with questions or concerns about a specific course need to talk to a counselor or call the appropriate division office. Questions or concerns regarding standard practice and process can be directed to the Office of Student Learning at (805) 378-1403.

Financial Aid Moorpark College believes that no student should be denied access to the educational experience because of lack of funds. Financial Aid�s basic goal is to make funds available to students in need in an equitable manner, following closely regulated state and federal laws. Financial Aid Students and the College Community will: � use most appropriate financial resources to attain college education � understand options and implications of educational and personal financial management � receive referrals to other support services to ensure college success � understand that students who need financial support will have access to college Eligibility Eligibility for financial aid is determined by a Department of Educationapproved system which calculates the difference between the ability of students and their families to provide for their financial needs and the amount required to meet educational expenses while attending college. The policy of the Ventura County Community College District is in compliance with the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1998, emphasizing that no financial aid applicant will be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, marital status, age, sex, or physical impairment. For some programs, financial aid eligibility requires a minimum of six (6) units of enrollment each semester. Continued eligibility requires successful completion of 70% of total units attempted with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. Refer to the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard located in the Financial Aid Office. Students interested in applying for financial aid should visit the Financial Aid Office to obtain an application and detailed instructions. For more information or to make an appointment, call (805) 378-1462 or visit the Financial Aid website: www. moorparkcollege.edu/finaid.

Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 47 Students� Right to Know Students� Right to Know V. The Definition of Sexual Harassment Sexual Harassment has been defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Guidelines (29 C.F.R. 1604.11) and the California Education Code (212.5), and includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or any other visual, telecommunications, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by someone from or in a work or education setting, under any of the following conditions: � submission to the conduct is explicitly or implicitly made a term or a condition of an individual�s employment, academic status, or progress; � submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis of employment or academic decisions affecting the individual; � the conduct has the purpose or effect of having a negative impact upon the individual�s work or academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work or educational environment; � submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis for any decision affecting the individual regarding benefits and services, honors, programs, or activities available at or through the District.

Student Grievance The purpose of this procedure is to provide a prompt and equitable means of resolving student grievances. These procedures shall be available to any student who reasonably believes the college decision or action has adversely affected his or her status, rights, or privileges as a student. A grievance is an allegation of a violation of any of the following: � sex discrimination as prohibited by Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972. � financial aid determinations made at the college or District level. � course grades, to the extent permitted by Education Code Section 76224(a), which provides: �When grades are given for any course of instruction taught in a community college District, the grade given to each student shall be the grade determined by the instructor of the course and the determination of the student�s grade by the instructor, in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetency, shall be final.� �Mistake� may include, but is not limited to, errors made by an instructor in calculating a student�s grade and clerical errors. � the exercise of rights of free expression protected by the state and federal constitutions, Education Code Sections 66301 and 76120, and District Board Policy and Administrative Procedures concerning the right of free expression. � violation of published District rules, Board Policies, and Administrative Procedures, except as set forth below. This procedure does not apply to: � challenges to the process for determining satisfaction of prerequisites, corequisites, advisories, and limitations on enrollment. Information on challenges to prerequisites is available from the Office of Academic Affairs. � allegations of harassment or discrimination on the basis of any protected characteristic as set forth in Board Policies 3410 and 3430 and 5 California Code of Regulations Section 53900 et seq. Such complaints may be initiated under the procedures described in the college catalogs. � appeals for residency determination. Residency appeals should be filed with the Admissions and Records Office. � student disciplinary actions, which are covered under separate Board Policies and Administrative Procedures. � police citations (i.e. �tickets�); complaints about citations must be directed to the Campus Police. � evaluation of the professional competence, qualifications, or job performance of a District employee. � claims for money or damages against the District. Information about other procedures is listed in the college catalogs or may be obtained from the Office of Student Learning. The alleged wrong must involve an unjust action or denial of a student�s rights as defined above. A grievance exists only when such an error or offense has resulted in an injury or harm that may be corrected through this grievance procedure. As noted above there may be other procedures applicable to various other alleged injuries or harms, and this grievance procedure may not be the sole or exclusive remedy, and it may not be necessary to exhaust this process before presenting allegations to other government agencies or the courts. The outcome of a grievance must be susceptible to producing a tangible remedy to the student complaining or an actual redress of the wrong rather than a punishment for the person or persons found in error. For example, a grievance seeking only the dismissal of a District employee is not viable. Students� Right to Know 50 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Students� Right to Know Definitions Chief Student Services Officer (CSSO) � A college�s Executive Vice President or Vice President of Student Services, or designee. College Grievance officer � The administrator in charge of student discipline and/or grievances who shall assist students in seeking resolution by informal means; if informal means are not successful, the College Grievance Officer shall assist students by guiding them through the formal grievance process. Day � A calendar day unless otherwise specified in this procedure. If the final day to take any action required by this procedure falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the administrative offices of the District are closed, the date for such action shall be extended to the next business day. Similarly, if the final day to take any action required by this procedure occurs during summer session or during an intersession, but the basis for the grievance arose prior to that summer or intersession, the final day to take any required action shall be extended to the first business day of the next academic term. Grievant � Any student currently enrolled in the college, a person who has filed an application for admission to the college, or a former student. A grievance by an applicant shall be limited to a complaint regarding denial of admission. Former students shall be limited to grievances relating to course grades to the extent permitted by Education Code Section 76224(a). Respondent � Any person claimed by a Grievant to be responsible for the alleged grievance. Informal Resolution Informal meetings and discussion between persons directly involved in a grievance are essential at the outset of a dispute. A student who has a grievance shall make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter on an informal basis prior to filing a formal grievance, and shall attempt to solve the problem with the person with whom the student has the grievance or dispute. If a student cannot resolve a grievance informally with the Respondent, then the student will request a meeting with the Respondent�s administrator, manager, or division chairperson, who shall meet with the student in an attempt to resolve the issue and may meet with the student and Respondent either jointly or separately. An equitable solution should be sought before persons directly involved in the case have stated official or public positions that might tend to polarize the dispute and render a solution more difficult. At any time, the student may request the assistance of the College Grievance Officer in understanding or arranging the informal resolution process. At no time shall any of the persons directly or indirectly involved in the case use the fact of such informal discussion, the fact that a grievance has been filed, or the character of the informal discussion for the purpose of strengthening the case for or against persons directly involved in the dispute or for any purpose other than the settlement of the grievance. Formal Resolution In the event an informal resolution is not reached, the grievant shall submit a preliminary written statement of the grievance to the College Grievance Officer within 90 days of the incident on which the grievance is based, or 90 days after the student knew or with reasonable diligence should have known of the basis for the grievance, whichever is later. Within 10 days following receipt of the preliminary written statement of the grievance, the College Grievance Officer shall advise the student of his or her rights and responsibilities under these procedures, and assist the student, if necessary, in the final preparation of the formal written statement of the grievance. The submission of this formal signed and dated written description of the complaint signals the beginning of the formal resolution, serves as the request for a hearing, and shall serve as the dated start of the hearing timeline. The College Grievance Officer will submit a copy of the formal written grievance to the Respondent. The Respondent will be given an opportunity to submit a written response to the allegations to the College Grievance Officer. This response must be received within 10 days. Hearing Procedures Grievance Hearing Committee � The hearing panel for any grievance shall be composed of one administrator, one faculty member and one student. At the beginning of the academic year, and no later than October 1st, the College President, the President of the Academic Senate, and the Associated Students President shall each establish a list of at least two persons who will serve on student Grievance Hearing Committees. The College President will identify two administrators; the President of the Academic Senate will identify two faculty; and the Associated Students President will identify two students. The College President shall appoint the Grievance Hearing Committee from the names in this pool; however, no administrator, faculty member or student who has any personal involvement in the matter to be decided, who is a necessary witness, who is a relative of any party or witness, or who could not otherwise act in a neutral manner shall serve on the Grievance Hearing Committee. Upon notification of the Grievance Hearing Committee composition, the Respondent and Grievant shall each be allowed one peremptory challenge, excluding the chairperson. The College President shall substitute the challenged member or members from the panel pool to achieve the appropriate Grievance Hearing Committee composition. In the event that the pool names are exhausted in any one category, further designees shall be submitted by the College President (for administrators), the President of the Academic Senate (for faculty), or the Associated Student President (for students). The Grievance Officer shall sit with the Grievance Hearing Committee but shall not serve as a member or vote.

Sexual Assault California Education Code Section 67385 requires that community college districts adopt and implement procedures to ensure prompt response to victims of sexual assault which occur on campus or during official campus events, as well as providing the victims with information regarding treatment options and services. Ventura County Community College District exercises care to keep its campuses free from conditions which increase the risk of crime. Crimes of rape and other forms of sexual assault are violations of VCCCD standards and will not be tolerated on campus. California statutes and the VCCCD Standards of Student Conduct prohibit sexual assaults. Where there is cause to believe the District�s regulations prohibiting sexual assault have been violated, the District will pursue strong disciplinary actions including suspension or dismissal from the college. Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 53 Students� Right to Know Students� Right to Know Ventura County Community College District is committed to providing prompt, compassionate services to those individuals who are sexually assaulted, as well as follow-up services, if needed. Administrative Regulations and Procedures Concerning Incidents of Sexual Assault on Campus I. Introduction Education Code Section 67385 requires that the governing board of each community college district adopt and implement clear, consistent, and written procedures to ensure that specific victims of sexual assault which occurred on campus property or during college sponsored events shall receive information regarding available treatment options and services, both on and off campus, as well as to ensure that the colleges will promptly respond to the option selected by the victim. II. Definitions For the purpose of the legislation, the following definitions are offered. � �Specific population� and �specific victim� include students, faculty and staff. � �Sexual assault� is any kind of sexual activity which is forced upon a person against his or her will. The definition includes, but is not limited to: rape (including �date� or �acquaintance rape�), forced sodomy, forced oral copulation, rape by a foreign object, or sexual battery or threat of sexual assault. � �On campus� is defined quite broadly to include: 1) any building or property owned or controlled by the District within the same reasonable contiguous geographic area and used by the District in direct support of, or related to, its educational purposes; or 2) any building or property owned or controlled by student organizations recognized by the institution. � �Official college sponsored events� include, but are not limited to, all classes off campus, field trips, or any event on the college calendar. � �Victim� of sexual assault is generally referred to here as being female, but could also include a male. III. College Policy Moorpark College exercises care to keep the campus free from conditions which increase the risk of crime. Crimes of rape and other forms of sexual assault will not be tolerated on campus. The Ventura County Community College District Student Code of Conduct prohibits sexual assaults, as do California criminal statutes. The Board of Trustees commits the college to taking prudent action to prevent sexual assaults from occurring and to ensure that students, faculty and staff are not adversely affected for having brought forward a charge of rape or other forms of sexual assault. Where there is cause to believe the college�s regulations prohibiting sexual assault have been violated, Moorpark College will pursue strong disciplinary actions which include the possibility of suspension or dismissal from the college. In addition, a student, faculty, or staff member charged with sexual assault can be prosecuted under California criminal statutes in addition to being disciplined under the Student Code of Conduct or Education Code, as applicable. Even if prosecution does not take place, the campus may pursue disciplinary action. The Board of Trustees is also committed to provide prompt, compassionate services to those individuals who are sexually assaulted and to provide follow-up services as needed. IV. Guidelines, Procedures and Personnel Responsible for Responding to a Sexual Assault Incident The individual initially notified about the sexual assault will provide a secure setting for the victim. (This could be an unoccupied office or classroom, a well-lighted area or, ideally, the Student Health Services Office.) The Campus Police Office and the Health Services Coordinator should be notified, if possible. The involved college personnel should then: 1. listen to the victim�s needs; 2. assess the situation. Determine the seriousness of the victim�s injuries; call 911 if injuries are severe and transportation is needed by ambulance to a hospital; 3. ask the victim what she/he wants to do. A consent form (available in English or Spanish) may be completed by the victim for any of the following options: a. does the victim want to be taken to a hospital or private doctor�s office? Does the victim want to contact a friend or family member? If the victim does not want to contact anyone, a campus police officer may take the victim to the hospital. If possible, a female should accompany the victim if the officer is male. b. does the victim want to have the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence contacted? The mission of the Coalition is to coordinate and implement services to the victim of sexual assault. c. does the victim want to report the incident to police? NOTE: If the victim is younger than 18, the sexual assault must be reported to the police. If the victim is 18 years or older, it is the victim�s decision whether or not to involve the police. (California law requires hospitals to report injuries by criminal act to a law enforcement agency.) Students� Right to Know 54 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 If the victim of a sexual assault decides to involve the police, the Campus Police Lieutenant will notify the appropriate police department and may request an officer of like gender of the victim for the report. The officer will take a police report, transport, accompany or meet the victim at an appropriate medical facility for the evidentiary examination, may conduct a follow-up interview, and may transport the victim home with consent. The Coordinator Of Health Services will notify the parent, guardian, spouse, or friend, if appropriate, and with the consent of the victim. Upon consent of the victim, the Coordinator Of Health Services may arrange for college personnel or a community Rape and Sexual Assault Counselor to accompany the victim, if appropriate, through hospital procedures and encounters with law enforcement agencies. The Campus Police Lieutenant will complete a confidential incident report and keep records of the incident for statistical purposes. As early as possible in the process outlined above, the Executive Vice President Of Student Learning or the administrator on duty at the college should be notified. That individual should go to the victim�s location and assist in the administration of these procedures, as well as notifying other campus and/or District officials, as appropriate. In the event the sexual assault incident occurs when the campus is not open (�after hours�), the individual initially notified about the sexual assault will notify the campus police by calling on any campus phone (ext 1455); the Campus Police Lieutenant will follow the same procedures as described above. In the event the sexual assault incident occurs at an off-campus event and it is not possible to contact the campus police, then the individual initially notified will contact the local law enforcement authority if the victim is under 18 years old (if 18 or over, if the victim wishes). Follow Up Procedures By College Staff: The Executive Vice President Of Student Learning and Campus Police Lieutenant will do a follow-up interview with the victim to inform her/ him of the legal options available for filing a civil suit or a criminal action. If she/he wants to pursue criminal action, the appropriate police department will conduct the follow-up criminal investigation. The Coordinator Of Health Services will provide the victim with information on the treatment and counseling for sexual assault and provide referrals for appropriate assistance such as the College Psychologist, College Physician or alternative Community Resources. The Executive Vice President Of Student Learning will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available. The Associate Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, if appropriate, will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available in cases involving faculty or staff. The Executive Vice President Of Student Learning will be responsible for ensuring that all follow-up procedures are completed. Students� Right to Know Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 55 Welcome to Moorpark College Students� Right to Know V. Legal Reporting Requirements and Procedures The reporting of rape and other forms of sexual assault follows the same procedures as the reporting of any crime. No special information is required, but the report needs to include certain standard information such as where the incident occurred, to whom (identified by name and age) and exactly what happened. Once a victim of sexual assault has chosen to notify authorities about the assault and chooses to pursue prosecution, a medical legal examination should be performed as soon after the assault as possible and within hours for evidence. VI. List of Campus Services and Personnel Available to Assist with Incidents of Sexual Assault. Campus Police, ext 1455; Campus Health Center, ext 1413; Extended Campus Office, ext 1406; Sexual Assault Intake Facilitator, ext 1408. VII. Procedures for Ongoing Case Management With the victim�s consent, follow-up intervention may be provided, as needed, by the College Psychologist for psychological counseling. The Executive Vice President of Student Learning will track the victim�s academic progress and will assist, when requested, by arranging academic counseling, tutoring, and other services deemed appropriate. The Executive Vice President of Student Learning or the Associate Vice Chancellor Of Human Resources will initiate disciplinary procedures and inform the victim of the status of any disciplinary actions and the Executive Vice President Of Student Learning will keep the College President informed. The following individuals may also be contacted, as appropriate, on a need-to-know basis by the aforementioned administrators: ACCESS Director, Division Deans, Instructors, Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Personnel Services or Public Information Officer. VIII. Procedures to Guarantee Confidentiality In all associations with the public, the media, family and friends of the victim, and in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and the Buckley Amendment, the name of the victim and/or specific details of the assault will be released only when essential to the health and safety of the individual assaulted or that of other members of the campus community. The Public Information Officer will be kept informed and will interface with the media, general public, students and staff. Other campus personnel dealing with the incident should refer any inquiries to the Public Information Office. In addition, and in full accordance with Chapter 593 of the Education Code, no person, persons, agency or organization permitted access to student records (including security records about incidents involving the college�s students) shall permit access to any information obtained from those records by any other person, persons, agency or organization without the written consent of the students involved. The victim of any sexual assault which is the basis of any disciplinary action taken by the community college shall be permitted access to that information in compliance with the Buckley Amendment. Access to this information shall consist of a notice of the results of any disciplinary action taken by the college and the results of any appeal. This information shall be provided to the victim within three days following the said disciplinary action or appeal. IX. Information Regarding Other Options Criminal Actions � Once an incident of sexual assault has been reported to the appropriate police department by college personnel, it is up to the police department to collect information, including the legal/medical exam, and to investigate the matter. The information is then turned over to the District Attorney�s office to determine if criminal prosecution is appropriate. The District Attorney�s office has the ultimate responsibility to determine whether the incident is a criminal offense and to bring it before the courts for punitive action against the assailant. Punitive consequences can include fines, probation and incarceration. If there is not sufficient evidence for the case to be passed on to the District Attorney, the police may decide to initiate an investigation to gather the necessary information which could lead to a prosecution. Civil Actions � If the victim of the sexual assault decides that she/he wants to pursue a civil action for damages against the perpetrator, then the victim should consult with an attorney for the civil legal action. The District Attorney�s office is reluctant to refer to any particular civil attorney, but the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence has a complete referral list of local attorneys with whom they have had experience. In addition, the names of attorneys may be obtained through the Ventura County Bar Association. Disciplinary Process through the College � Various forms of discipline may be imposed on a student who is guilty of misconduct ranging from reprimand, probation, and suspension to expulsion. The student disciplinary procedures of the college are described in this catalog. They are initiated by the Executive Vice President Of Student Learning. Faculty and staff are subject to the college�s disciplinary action policies. Mediation services � Mediation between any of the �specific population� involved in a sexual assault incident at the college is available and may be arranged through the Executive Vice President Of Student Learning. Academic Assistance Aternatives � Academic assistance for victims of sexual assault includes tutoring, switching to different sections or classes, academic counseling, receiving a grade of �Incomplete� or �Withdrawal,� or assistance in transferring. Harassment Restraining Order � Under California law (section 527.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure), courts can make orders to protect people from being harassed by others. These orders are enforced by law enforcement agencies. A victim who desires to obtain such an order must file an action in the Superior Court. Simplified procedures for obtaining such orders have been established by the courts. An instructional booklet that tells what court orders a victim of harassment can obtain and how to get them is available from the Clerk of the Ventura County Superior Court, Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA 93009.

Formal rules of evidence shall not apply. All members of the campus community shall be bound by the student code of conduct or code of professional ethics to provide only true testimony. Witnesses who are not members of the campus community will testify under oath subject to the penalty of perjury. Any relevant evidence may be admitted at the discretion of the Hearing Panel Chair, in consultation with the Hearing Panel. Hearsay evidence will be admissible, but will be insufficient, alone, to establish a charge against the student. The Hearing Panel Chair, in consultation with the Hearing Panel, shall be responsible for determining the relevancy of presented evidence and testimony, the number of witnesses permitted to testify, and the time allocated for testimony and questioning. The Hearing Panel Chair, in consultation with the Hearing Panel, shall further be responsible for instructing and questioning witnesses on behalf of the Hearing Panel, and for dismissing any persons who are disruptive or who fail to follow instructions. The Hearing Panel Chair shall have the final decision on all procedural questions concerning the hearing.

The burden shall be on the college representative to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the facts alleged are true.

Witnesses shall not be present at the hearing when not testifying, unless all parties and the Hearing Panel agree to the contrary. The rule of confidentiality shall prevail at all stages of the hearing. Moreover, the Hearing Panel members shall ensure that all hearings, deliberations, and records remain confidential in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), California Education Code Section 76200 et seq., and District Board Policies and Administrative Procedures related to the privacy of student and employee records.

No other recording devices shall be permitted to be used at the hearing. Any witness who refuses to be recorded shall not be permitted to give testimony.

Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 69 Planning your Education Planning Your Education An Associate Degree signifies more than an accumulation of units; it signifies the successful completion of a pattern of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities and insights that lead to the fulfillment of individual human potential. Therefore, in addition to the Basic Requirements for graduation relating to units, residency, and competency in reading, written expression, and mathematics, students must also satisfy General Education requirements as required by Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations and by Ventura County Community College District Governing Board Policy. The philosophy underlying �general education� is that no discipline is an isolated endeavor; instead, each relies upon and contributes to a common body of knowledge, ideas, intellectual processes, cultural traditions, and modes of perception. One�s understanding of a specific subject area is greatly enhanced and enriched by knowledge in and experience with other disciplines. Thus, the General Education requirements are designed to introduce students to the variety of means through which people comprehend the modern world and fulfill their potential and, in so doing, serve family, community, and society. The General Education requirements reflect the conviction that those who receive a degree must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts, and methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. College-educated persons must be able to use their knowledge to evaluate and appreciate the physical environment, the culture, and the society in which they live. In addition, they must have a good self-understanding and the capacity to adapt to an ever-changing and global environment through an ongoing intellectual curiosity and commitment to life-long learning. Upon successful completion of all of the General Education requirements, students will be able to: � Understand the modes of inquiry and critique used in the natural, social, and behavioral sciences and the humanities � Understand and appreciate the role of culture and the arts in society and in one�s personal life � Think logically and communicate effectively � Understand and adopt the concepts of personal health and fitness to enhance the quality of life � Recognize the multitude of diversities in the physical and human environments and how these diversities impact individuals and society � Understand the connections among the various disciplines � Use a variety of means to find information, examine it critically, and apply it appropriately � Work ethically and effectively with others � Apply the skills necessary for successful living in an ever-changing and global environment � Become productive workers and life-long learners To meet the objectives of general education A. Natural Sciences � Courses in the natural sciences are those which examine the physical universe, its life forms, and its natural phenomena. To satisfy the General Education requirement in natural sciences, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an appreciation and understanding of the scientific methods, and encourage an understanding of the relationships between science and other human activities. This category would include introductory or integrative courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, general physical science, geology, meteorology, oceanography, physical geography, physical anthropology, physics, or other scientific disciplines. B. Social and Behavioral Sciences � Courses in the social and behavioral sciences are those which focus on people as members of society. To satisfy the general education requirement in social and behavioral sciences, a course shall be designed to develop an awareness of the method of inquiry used by the social and behavioral sciences. It shall be designed to stimulate critical thinking about the ways people act and have acted in response to their societies and should promote appreciation of how societies and social subgroups operate. This category would include introductory or integrative survey courses in cultural anthropology, cultural geography, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, or related disciplines. C. Humanities - Courses in the humanities are those which study the cultural activities and artistic expressions of human beings. To satisfy the general education requirement in the humanities, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures have responded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student develop aesthetic understanding and an ability to make value judgments. Such courses could include introductory or integrative courses in the arts, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, and religion. D. Language and Rationality - Courses in language and rationality are those which develop for the student the principles and applications of language toward logical thought, clear and precise expression and critical evaluation of communication in whatever symbol system the student uses. 1. English Composition � Courses fulfilling the written composition requirement shall be designed to include both expository and argumentative writing. 2. Communication and Analytical Thinking � Courses fulfilling the communication and analytical thinking requirement include oral communication, mathematics, logic, statistics, computer languages and programming, and related disciplines. E. Health/Physical Education - Courses in health and physical education should help students develop the understanding and the skills necessary to maintain a healthful life. F. Ethnic/Women�s Studies - Courses in ethnic and women�s studies should help students develop an awareness of the diverse historical roots and an appreciation of the cultural contributions of minorities and women; lead to an understanding of the causes and consequences of socio-economic inequality based on race, sex or ethnicity; and explore ways of eliminating such inequities. Additionally, Division A � Natural Sciences is subdivided into (1) Biological Science and (2) Physical Science; Division B � Social and Behavioral Sciences into (1) American History/Institutions and (2) Other Social Science; and Division C � Humanities into (1) Fine or Performing Arts and (2) Other Humanities.

Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 75 Planning your Education Planning Your Education Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an �associate degree for transfer�, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor�s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor�s degree (unless the major is a designated �high-unit� major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. At the time of catalog publication, a student may earn an AA-T at Moorpark College in the following major: � Psychology � Sociology Additional majors are being developed, see a counselor for more information. Requirements The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees: 1. Minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units. 2. Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information. 3. Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an �AA-T� or �AS-T� major as detailed in the Course and Program Descriptions section of the catalog. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of C or better or a �P� if the course is taken on a �pass-no pass� basis (title 5 � 55063). 4. Certified completion of the California State University General Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth) OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). 5. Complete requirements in residency. For students in the Ventura County Community College District, a minimum of 12 units must be completed in residency at the college granting the degree. Local graduation requirements (PE/HE and Ethnic Women�s Studies) is waived for these AA-T and AS-T degrees. Planning your Education 76 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education Graduation Application Procedures Students may apply for graduation by scheduling a counseling appointment to submit an application for graduation. Although a student may elect to be either a fall graduate, a spring graduate, or a summer graduate, depending upon the completion of all necessary graduation requirements, formal graduation ceremonies are conducted only at the conclusion of each academic year. The deadline dates for submission of graduation applications are available on the Moorpark College website. Variance in Major Requirements Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major requirements as specified in the Moorpark College catalog due to circumstances of class scheduling conflicts, class cancellation, related but nonequivalent coursework taken outside of this college district, or circumstances beyond the control of the student. Under such circumstances, a student may file a �Petition for Substitution or Waiver� to seek approval from the appropriate college officials to substitute course(s) in designated major, an area of emphasis, or in general education. The petition forms are available in the Counseling Department. Catalog Rights/Continuous Enrollment A student remaining in continuous enrollment at one or more of the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) or at any other regionally accredited college or university may meet the VCCCD graduation requirements in effect at the time of his/her entering or at any time thereafter. This applies only to graduation requirements and not to policies, procedures, or other regulations. Catalog rights/continuous enrollment are defined as attendance in at least one term each calendar year. Any academic record symbol entered on a transcript (A-F, CR, CRE, NC, P, NP, I, IP, RD, W, MW) shall constitute enrollment or attendance. A student who has not maintained continuous enrollment is considered to be under new requirements when returning unless the student is granted a petition/waiver for extenuating circumstances. This petition must be initiated by the student through a college counselor and approved by the appropriate dean or designee. Students should be made aware that other governing agencies may impose more restrictive limitations concern the definitions of continuous enrollment or continuous attendance. Academic Year The Fall semester is the first term of an academic year. The Summer semester, whether one or more sessions, constitutes the last term of an academic year. Ot her Grad uat ion Informat ion Guidelines for Additional Degrees Any college in the Ventura County Community College District will award additional associate degrees under the following conditions: � A student who has earned an associate degree at any regionally accredited institution may earn additional associate degrees. � Additional degrees can be in a specific major, a general studies area of emphasis or an additional option within the field of the original degree � Students must meet all minimum Title 5 requirements for the catalog year covering the additional degree(s). These include, but are not limited to residency requirements, a minimum of 12 additional units for each degree (i.e., a minimum total of 72 units for a second degree and 84 units for a third degree, etc.) and competency requirements in written expression and mathematics. � Students must complete all required major/emphasis courses listed in the appropriate year�s catalog for the specific major, area of emphasis, or area of option for the additional degree(s). � A student who already holds an Associate degree or higher degree from any regionally accredited institution or one evaluated as equivalent to a regionally accredited institution only needs to complete minimum Title 5 requirements and the major/emphasis requirements to earn an additional degree. No further general education or local additions will be required. Appeals to the above policy may be submitted to the Executive Vice President, or designee. Waivers may be granted under extenuating circumstances or when there has not been sufficient opportunity to enroll in required courses. Double Counting While a course might satisfy more than one general education requirement, it may not be counted more than once for these purposes. A course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a major or area of emphasis requirement. Other Programs The Ventura County Community College District offers other programs of career and technical educational at Oxnard and Ventura Colleges which are open to all college district students. OXNARD COL EGE: addictive disorders studies; air conditioning/ refrigeration; automotive body and fender; dental assisting; dental hygiene; fire academy; fire technology; culinary arts and restaurant management; and legal assisting.

Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 77 Planning your Education Planning Your Education What is the College/University Preparation Pathway? Many students attend Moorpark College to begin their pursuit of the college experience, often culminating in a bachelor�s degree, master�s degree, doctorate, or other professional degrees conferred by other institutions. By following the college/university preparation pathway you can complete courses that are not only applicable toward an associate degree at Moorpark College but can also fulfill lower division requirements for a bachelor�s degree at the CSU or UC as well as at independent or out-of-state colleges and universities. Transferable Courses Transferable courses are those courses at the college that will apply toward baccalaureate credit at the institution to which you plan to transfer. At a minimum, transferable courses provide elective credits toward admission requirements and graduation requirements. Does This Course Transfer? � Read the course description in this college catalog. Courses that state �Transfer credit: CSU� provide unit credit at all 23 campuses of the California State University system. Those that specify �Transfer credit: UC� also provide unit credit at all ten campuses of the University of California system. Some transfer courses may be noted as having credit limitations; these limitations can be checked in the College catalog, the Counseling Center, and/or www.assist.org. Often independent colleges and universities will award unit credit for courses designated as CSU or UC transferable. � Review the CSU GE and IGETC patterns which follow. Courses on these lists have been approved by the CSU and UC to fulfill general education requirements in the designated categories. � If a course is not on a GE list it does not mean it will not transfer. Many courses transfer to CSU or UC that are not approved for GE credit. � Explore www.assist.org. This website provides the most accurate and current information about CSU and UC courses that fulfill pre-major or major preparation requirements. � Courses that are transferable but do not fulfill GE or major preparation are considered, at a minimum, elective credit. They may satisfy other requirements, such as subject area coursework, for admissions or additional graduation requirements. General Education Transfer Patterns Moorpark College, the CSU, and the UC have established course patterns that community college students can use to complete lower division general education requirements for a bachelor�s degree while attending the community college. The CSU GE and IGETC patterns are lists of approved courses designed for these purposes. In addition, some independent colleges and universities will accept IGETC and/or CSU GE as partially or completely fulfilling their own general education requirements. Completion of either pattern will fulfill most of the general education requirement for the associate degree in General Studies, Pattern III. Please note that completion of the IGETC pattern is not preferred for all schools or majors within the CSU or UC system. Pattern II of the General Studies degree is intended for students whose major/college does not recommend completion of the CSU GE or IGETC. Most importantly, you should meet with a counselor or university representative to help you choose the appropriate pattern and coursework for your intended transfer institution. Certification of General Education and Certificates of Achievement for CSU GE-Breadth or IG ETC After completing the IGETC or CSU GE pattern, you will need to see a counselor to request that your transfer pattern coursework be certified by the Registration and Records Office. Students eligible for certification can also apply for a Certificate of Achievement. General Education certification means that your transfer pattern coursework at the college is officially recognized by the transfer institution as fulfillment of their lower division general education requirements for the bachelor�s degree. If you do not have your college coursework certified, you can be held accountable for the selected transfer institution�s general education requirements once you begin your study at that institution. Partial certification in individual areas is also possible. College/University Prepa rat ion Pat hway Planning your Education 78 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education Transfer of Credits Moorpark College is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is generally accredited throughout the country by reciprocal agreements with state departments of public instruction and other accrediting agencies. Students should keep in mind that recognition by a regional accrediting agency only supports the standing of the college and does not assure acceptance of all transfer students from that college. Students transfer on the basis of their individual records and according to the specific requirements of the institution to which they transfer. The need for careful planning of courses and the maintenance of high scholastic standards becomes imperative for all students who intend to transfer to other colleges and universities. The information is also available on the Web at www.assist.org Responsibility for Meeting Transfer Requirements Academic counseling is available to students on an appointment basis. Counselors are a valuable resource in exploring options or defining the requirements in a particular field of study. They have the expertise to assist you with course selection, program planning, and questions concerning requirements for admission, majors, general education and transfer to a fouryear college or university. However, it is each student�s responsibility to satisfy requirements for admission, preparation in the major and general education. To ensure academic success, schedule an appointment with a counselor on a regular basis. Amount of Transfer Credit Granted While Moorpark College is accredited, there can be considerable variation in the total amount of credit granted by four-year colleges and universities for work done at this College. Further, there are some courses offered at Moorpark College that are not accepted for transfer credit at some four-year institutions. Students should become familiar with the maximum limits on transfer credit at the institution of their choice, as well as the transferability of individual courses they have chosen. Quality of Work Required In the evaluation of credits, colleges and universities often emphasize the quality of a student�s work rather than the quantity. A few schools having limited and selective enrollment will consider for admission only those transfer students with relatively high scholastic rank. Further, a department within the college or university may have established specific academic guidelines for prerequisites and other coursework in a given major. Students who plan to transfer should become familiar with the scholastic requirements of the transfer institution, as well as the specific requirements within their major. Preparation for Transfer Most students attending Moorpark College can complete necessary transfer requirements for admission to four-year colleges or universities, including courses required in preparation for their selected major and general education requirements. The College has written contracts with four-year colleges and universities regarding transfer requirements which specify lower division requirements that may be completed at Moorpark College. Moorpark College courses have been carefully articulated as comparable to or acceptable in lieu of the required lower division major courses specified in the catalogs of the transfer institutions. These are known as �articulation agreements.� Articulation agreements for the California public four-year institution is available on the ASSIST website (see ASSIST below). Some majors, notably those requiring mathematics and/ or natural sciences, demand adequate high school preparation to enable a student to transfer in a timely fashion. In addition to major requirements, Moorpark College students can satisfy general education or breadth requirements, as defined by the four-year college or university, in preparation for transfer. These requirements are listed in the Moorpark College Catalog for selected institutions. With careful planning, students who attend Moorpark College can satisfy all requirements for admission to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Universities uniformly prioritize the importance of these several requirements. In order of importance, a student prepares for transfer by completing the following: 1. ADMISSIONS - Complete all three admissions requirements: a. Units (minimum number of units that transfer to school of choice). b. Scholarship (GPA in transfer courses). c. Subject area (a-g requirements of both CSU and UC). 2. MAJOR PREPARATION - Complete the lower division courses required for the major selected. This is particularly important for high-unit majors with sequential courses based on prerequisites. 3. GENERAL EDUCATION - Complete general education/breadth requirements. 4. SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSIONS - Consult your counselor concerning additional requirements that apply to selected universities and colleges and to selected majors. These requirements can affect your eligibility for admission. ASSIST Articulation System Stimulating Inter-institutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) is a computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the Web. It displays reports of how course credits earned at one California public college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California�s public colleges and universities and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California. ASSIST is available at www.assist.org. Transfer Admission Agreements The Transfer Admission Agreement is a contract of understanding between a community college, a participating four-year university and the student guaranteeing that upon completion of the conditions of the agreement, the student will be admitted to the university for the agreed term of enrollment. Interested students should see a counselor to determine eligibility and begin the Transfer Admission Agreement process. College/University Prepa rat ion Pat hway Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 79 Planning your Education Planning Your Education Transfe r to the CSU California State University The California State University�s (CSU) is now the largest, most diverse university system in the country, with 412,000 students and 43,000 faculty and staff members of 23 campuses. The CSU system offers more than 1,800 bachelor�s and master�s degree programs in 375 subject areas as well as teaching credential programs. The CSU provides the majority of the skilled professional workers that are critical to the state�s knowledge-based industries such as agriculture, engineering, business, technology, media, and computer science. In addition, the CSU is the state�s leading provider of graduates in services that are critical to the state, providing more than 80 percent of the college degrees in criminal justice, education, social work and public administration. Over 412,000 students are enrolled at the CSU each year with more than half of CSU Bachelor�s degrees awarded to students who transferred to the CSU from community college. With proper program planning, students may complete lower division preparation at Moorpark College and transfer to the campus of their choice without loss of units. Information on the transfer coursework for which students may prepare at Moorpark College is available in the Counseling Department or Career and Transfer Center and on www.assist.org. Additional CSU information is available at www.calstate.edu and www.csumentor.edu.

Lower Division Transfers: Due to enrollment demands, most campuses restrict or prohibit the admission of lower division transfer students who have completed fewer than 60 transferable units (90 quarter units). Please see a counselor or visit www.csumentor.edu website for more information. 2. Upper Division Transfers: The majority of students transfer as upper division students. Upper division transfers may qualify for admission if they; � have completed at least 60 transferable semester units � have a 2.0 (2.4 for California nonresidents) overall grade point average in all transferable college units completed � are in good standing at the last college or university attended. Within the transferable courses, there must be 30 units of general education work. In addition, general education courses in the written communication, oral communication, critical thinking and mathematics sections of general education must be completed with a grade of C or better for each course. These are minimum requirements and in the case of high-demand majors and campuses, a 2.0 GPA may not be high enough to be admitted. Note: These admission requirements are subject to change. Students should consult with a counselor and visit www.csumentor.edu to receive the most current transfer opportunity and information. General Education Requirements for Upper-Division Transfers For most students who transfer to the CSU, completing general education classes should be a priority along with premajor coursework. The CSU provides California Community College transfers with two systemwide options for fulfilling CSU lower division general education requirements. The two options are: 1. CSU General Education-Breadth (CSU GE). Refer to the appropriate section of the catalog for the list of approved courses. 2. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). Refer to the appropriate section of the catalog for the list of approved courses. Most CSU campuses require students to complete a minimum of 30 transferable semester units of the CSU GE or the IGETC. Within either pattern, the highest priority classes are the three courses in the English Language Communication and Critical Thinking (area A) along with a general education course in mathematics (area B4). Completion of general education courses prior to transfer is usually the most efficient path. Upon completion of either the CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC at Moorpark College, you should obtain certification of your general education requirements before transferring to a CSU by scheduling an appointment with a counselor through the Counseling Department at (805) 378-1428.

Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 83 Planning your Education Planning Your Education NOTES for AP, IB and CLEP: 1. These units count toward eligibility for admission. The units may not all apply toward certification of the corresponding GE-Breadth area. See Executive Orders 1033 and 1036 for details 2. Areas of GE-Breadth (A1 through E) are defined In Executive Order 1033. Areas of American Institutions (US-1 through US-3) are set forth in Section IA and IB of EO 405 and at www.assist.org 3. Students seeking certification in GE Breadth prior to transfer must have passed the test before this date. 4. If a student passes more than one AP exam in calculus or computer science, only one examination may be applied to the baccalaureate. 5. Students who pass AP Environmental Science earn 4 units of credit. Tests prior to Fall 2009 may apply to either B1 + B3 or B2 + B3 of GE Breadth. Fall of 2009 or later, those credits may only apply to B1 + B3. 6. If a student passes more than one AP exam in physics, only six units of credit may be applied to the baccalaureate, and only four units of credit may be applied to a certification in GE Breadth. 7. If a student passes more than one CLEP test in the same language other than English (e.g., two exams In French), then only one examination may be applied to the baccalaureate. For each test in a language other than English, a passing score of 50 is considered �Level I� and earns six units of baccalaureate credit; the higher score listed for each test is considered �Level II� and earns additional units of credit and placement in Area C2 of GE Breadth, as noted. 8. The IB curriculum offers language at various levels for native and non-native speakers. Language B courses are offered at the intermediate level for non-natives. Language A1 and A2 are advanced courses in literature for native and non-native speakers, respectively.

Planning your Education 84 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education Consideration of Summer coursework for Fall Admission Some campuses restrict the use of summer coursework to satisfy some fall admission requirements. Campuses known for this are: CI, FUL, LB, MB, POM, SAC, SD, SF, SJ, SLO, SM, and SON. Full Certification Completion of all five sections of these requirements prior to transferring will permit Moorpark College to certify to each of the CSU campuses that you have fulfilled the basic 39-unit minimum lower division requirement in general education. Each of the campuses of CSU requires an additional nine units of upper division GE work in residence; some campuses may require more than the 48-unit minimum. Students should make an appointment in the Counseling Office prior to transfer to apply for CSU GE certification. Subject Area Certification It is possible to complete separately any of the areas or sections (A-E) at Moorpark College and receive partial certification in any or several of these areas; if you are not fully certified, it will be necessary for you to complete the remaining areas (and perhaps other areas) after transferring as defined by the catalog of the transfer school. Certified Courses Moorpark College will certify courses completed at other regionally accredited institutions in satisfaction of GE requirements provided that such courses are baccalaureate level and would be certified by the institution offering them. Students who have completed courses at other colleges and universities should consult the Counseling Office regarding �pass along� certification. Scholarship Most campuses require a grade of C or better for most courses and an overall C average (2.0 GPA) for all courses used to satisfy GE requirements. Also, most campuses require letter grades for all GE courses and do not permit pass/no pass grades. Campuses known to impose limitations on courses graded as credit (pass/no pass) are: DH, FUL, SB, and SON. Course Restrictions While a course may satisfy more than one general education group and/or area requirement, it shall not be counted more than once and any excess units in one area shall not apply to another area. U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals Requirements All campuses require students to complete college-level coursework in U.S. History, American Government and California Government, often in addition to GE requirements. Courses approved to satisfy this requirement are specified in appropriate areas. Most campuses permit double counting of courses taken to meet this requirement and GE-Breadth if the student is partially or fully certified. Use of Major Courses Most campuses require a grade of C or better for each course required in preparation for a student�s major; most do not allow a �Pass� (P) for major courses. Most CSU campuses allow applicants who submit full or partial area certifications to double count courses for general education and major requirements. Foreign Language and Second Semester English Some campuses require foreign language and/or second semester of English Composition for graduation. In some cases, students certified in Areas A and C are exempt from these requirements. Also, some campuses require completion of these courses for certain majors. See the catalog of your campus choice for these requirements. Multicultural/Ethnic Studies Requirement CSU campuses require all candidates for the bachelor�s degree to complete at least one course in multicultural/ethnic studies as a condition of graduation. Selected campuses will not permit this requirement to be met prior to transfer; for most of these campuses, the course must be upper division. See the catalog of your campus choice for these requirements. Other Requirements You are advised to consult your counselor and the catalog of the state university that you plan to attend for requirements unique to that school. Sequential Courses Most institutions recommend that students complete sequential courses at the college where the series was started. This is especially recommended for a sequence of two or more courses which require the preceding course(s) as a prerequisite to advancement. Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IG ETC) Students planning to transfer to either a CSU or UC campus may elect to use the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) in satisfaction of GE requirements. Consult a Moorpark College counselor for additional information or csumentor.edu or uctransfer.univerisityofcalifornia.edu Transcripts You must make a written request of the Registration and Records Office to forward your transcript. You must request transcripts of work completed at any other colleges (outside of this college district) to be sent to the transfer institution. Your Application for Certification is not a request for a transcript. Additional CSU Information Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 85 Planning your Education Planning Your Education � UC Davis � UC Berkeley � UC San Francisco � UC Santa Cruz � UC Merced � UC Santa Barbara � UC Los Angeles � UC Riverside � UC Irvine � UC San Diego Transfe r to the UC University of California The University of California System The campuses of the University of California (UC) provide exciting environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities and generate a wide range of benefits and services that touch the lives of Californians throughout the state. The UC has established campuses throughout the state of California and enrolls more than 222,000 students. All campuses have uniform entrance requirements and certain other features in common. However, each campus is distinctive and not all majors are offered on all campuses. Students should study the list of undergraduate colleges, schools, and majors available on each campus to determine which campuses will best satisfy their educational needs. Students are encouraged to discuss with their counselors the particular advantages each campus has to offer. The University of California has 10 campuses: � Berkeley (UCB) � Davis (UCD) � Irvine (UCI) � Los Angeles (UCLA) � Merced (UCM) � Riverside (UCR) � San Diego (UCSD) � San Francisco (UCSF) � Santa Barbara (UCSB) � Santa Cruz (UCSC) Planning your Education 86 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education Lower-division Transfer The University admits some transfer students before they reach junior standing if they have met specific requirements. Refer to the open/closed major status report at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/openmajors to see which campuses will accept lower-division transfers for a particular term. Upper-division or Junior-Level Transfer A transfer applicant, according to the University, is a student who has enrolled in a fall, winter, or spring session at another college or university after high school. A student who meets this definition cannot disregard his or her college record and apply as freshman. The requirement described below represent the minimum academic standards students must attain to be eligibility for admission to the University. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the University nor does it guarantee admission to a particular campus. Admission to the campus and program of choice often requires students to meet more demanding standards. The vast majority of transfer students come to the University at the junior level from California community colleges. To be eligible for admission to UC as a junior level transfer student, a student must fulfill both of the following criteria: 1. Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for nonresident). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken Pass/No Pass; and 2. Complete either: a. IGETC OR b. complete the following course pattern � Two UC transferable courses in English composition; � One UC transferable course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and � Four UC transferable courses from at least two of the following subject areas: o Arts and humanities o Social and behavioral sciences o Physical and biological sciences NOTE: Each course must be worth at least 3 semester (4-5 quarter) units and you must earn a grade of C or better in each course. For information about which Moorpark College courses are UC transferable and which are approved for UC Transfer Admissions Eligibility, visit ASSIST. - Meeting the minimum transfer admissions eligibility requirements does not guarantee that you will be admitted to the major and campus of your choice. In cases where there are more eligible applicants than transfer openings, applicants with the strongest academic preparation will be given priority. Preparation for Transfer 1. Admission Criteria (see requirements listed above). 2. General Education preparation: Students have two options for fulfilling GE preparation for the UC, depending on the campus and major selected: � IGETC � accepted by both the UC and CSU, is most helpful for students who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as engineering and many of the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing major prerequisites. Or � Specific general education requirements of the college or campus they plan to attend. (see assist.org) 3. Major preparation requirements specify the courses you must take during your first two years of college to prepare for advanced study in your major. They may be required as part of the major, they may be prerequisites for other courses that are required as part of the major or they may be required to gain admission to the major. Transfer applicants are evaluated, in part, on the basis of their performance in major preparation coursework, so it is important that you investigate the requirements for your intended major as soon as possible. If your major requires mathematics and science, it is especially important that you complete those prerequisites before you transfer. Lack of preparatory coursework may affect your admission to your major, particularly if there are many applicants and a limited number of spaces. The Major Preparation Paths, available at www. universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/preparation which outline the major-preparation requirements at each UC campus for the most popular majors. Major preparation information is also available at www.assist.org. Selection Criteria Many colleges, schools, or majors within the UC system are highly selective. This means that either the number of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the spaces available and/or the minimum GPA in UC transferable courses is expected to be higher than the minimum criteria for admission. Students are advised to make themselves as competitive as possible when applying for admission both in GPA and course preparation. TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) Seven UC campuses offer guaranteed admission to California Community College students who meet specific requirements. By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework. For more information, see www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/ transfer/guarantee and your counselor. UC ADMISSION Requirements Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 87 Planning your Education Planning Your Education UC Credit Limitations In order to receive transfer credit, a course must be approved by the UC and be listed on the Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) available in this catalog and on www.assist.org 1. The University of California will award graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college, meaning those units will be counted toward completion of your degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester units will not receive unit credit, but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy University subject requirements. 2. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded Pass/No Pass. 3. Variable topics courses are reviewed after transfer by the enrolling institution and credit is given only after a review of the scope and content of the course and may require recommendations by faculty. This applies to courses in Independent Studies, Special Studies, Special Topics, Internships, etc. Credit is not guaranteed. UC does not grant credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology) or Library Departments because of credit restrictions in these areas. 4. Honors courses: Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will only be awarded to the first course completed with a grade of C or better. 5. A maximum of 4 units of physical education activity courses will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 6. A maximum of 8 units of physical education theory courses will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 7. English as a Second Language Courses (ESL): A maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units will earn transfer credit. 8. Students may take one series in Physics; duplication of topics will result in deduction of credit. 9. One course is allowed for credit in the areas of Health, First Aid, Business Law, College Success and Library Studies. Course Sequences When requirements are stated as full-year sequence, students should be encouraged to complete the entire course series before transferring to avoid duplicating coursework. Also, the topics covered in a particular semester or quarter of the sequence at a community college may not be the same as at a UC campus. Planning your Education 88 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a general education program that community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower division general education/breadth requirements for either the California State University (CSU) or the University of California (UC) systems without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower division general education courses. Completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower division general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. Some students may be better served by taking courses which fulfill the CSU General Education-Breadth requirements or those of the UC campus or college to which they plan to transfer. Students pursuing majors that require extensive lower division major preparation (�high-unit majors�) may not find the IGETC option to be advantageous. Students should also be aware that selected schools and colleges at all undergraduate campuses of UC have requirements which render the use of IGETC either inappropriate or not permitted (see IGETC Considerations below). The IGETC is most useful for students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular CSU or UC campus. IG ETC Considerations Students with a substantial amount of coursework from institutions outside the United States should consult with a community college counselor to determine whether they should complete IGETC or the lower-division breadth/ general education requirements at the campus they plan to attend. In addition, some colleges or majors prefer that transfer students follow a more prescribed lower-division curriculum, as described here: � Berkeley: IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science, the Haas School of Business and the colleges of Engineering, Environmental Design and Chemistry have extensive, prescribed major prerequisites. In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges. Although IGETC satisfies breadth requirements for most majors in the College of Natural Resources, specific lower-division major requirements must still be satisfied. For more information, check with the college or visit the www.assist.org website for more information. � Davis: IGETC works well for students planning for Bachelor of Arts majors with few units of lower-division preparation. Bachelor of Science degrees and high-unit majors often have many courses of lower-divisions preparation. In these cases, the UC Davis GE pattern is the best choice. Students in the College of Engineering who have satisfied IGETC are stilled required to complete two upper-division general education courses at UC Davis. � Irvine: All schools accept IGETC. However, selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major. � Los Angeles: The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does not accept IGETC. IG ETC Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum � Merced: The School of Engineering and the School of Natural Sciences accept but do not recommend IGETC. � Riverside: The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE) accepts completion of IGETC as satisfying the majority of the college�s breadth requirement for transfer students. Some additional breadth coursework may be required after enrollment applicants are strongly encouraged to focus instead of preparatory coursework for their desired major, such as mathematics, science and other technical preparatory coursework, rather than on IGETC completion. Strong technical preparation is essential for success in the admission process and, subsequently, in all coursework at Bourns. � The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences does not accept IGETC, although courses taken to satisfy IGETC may be applied toward the college�s breadth pattern. The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Science and the School of Business Administration accept IGETC. � San Diego: IGETC is accepted by John Muir, Earl Warren, Sixth and Thurgood Marshall Colleges only. Students completing IGETC are welcomed at Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges; however, they must also fulfill the specific general education requirements of those colleges. At UCSD, all majors are available to students in each college, so students who choose IGETC will not be restricted in their choice of major as a result. � Santa Barbara: Students who transfer into the College of Letters and Science and the College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. Students transferring into the College of Engineering are encouraged to focus on the preparation for their major rather than general education courses, but may also use IGETC to substitute for most general education requirements. As part of their general education, all students In the College of Engineering are required to complete a depth requirement. Students who wish to satisfy the depth requirement prior to transfer must complete a yearlong sequence in the history of world civilization, history of Western civilization, history of the United States, history of Western philosophy or history of Western art. Students may want to choose courses for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth requirement with upper-division coursework after transferring. Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major In engineering, computer science or the biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower division major prerequisites to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress through the major. � Santa Cruz: Transfer students intending to pursue any major in the physical and biological sciences or the Jack Baskin School of Engineering should not follow IGETC because it will not provide them with enough lower-division preparation for their majors.

Please consult with a counselor for additional information. 2011-2012 Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IG ETC) Planning your Education 90 Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 Planning Your Education Additional IG ETC Information Certification It is the student�s responsibility to request IGETC Certification in the Counseling Office. It is strongly recommended that students complete IGETC prior to transfer. Advantages of completing IGETC include more flexibility in class selection at the university and timely progress to degree completion. Partial IG ETC Certification Partial certification is defined as completing all but two (2) courses on the IGETC pattern. Each UC or CSU campus will inform a student that has submitted a partial certification of IGETC of the specific timelines and courses needed to complete the IGETC. The UC or CSU is responsible for verifying that the missing IGETC course(s) has been completed. Students may complete the missing course(s) at a California Community College or other U.S. regionally accredited institution approved by the CSU or UC campus of attendance either during the summer or while concurrently enrolled depending on the concurrent enrollment rules at their CSU or UC campus. Note: Deficiencies in IGETC Areas 1 and/or 2 may indicate a student does not meet minimum transfer admission requirements. Who Certifies the IG ETC? Only California community colleges may certify completion of IGETC. Students who have completed coursework at more than one California Community College (CCC) should have their coursework certified by the last California Community College they attended for a regular term (fall or spring for semester schools; fall, winter, or spring for quarter schools) prior to transfer. If a student requests certification from a California Community College that is not the last school of attendance, it is at the discretion of that community college to certify. IGETC certification will be processed without regard to current enrollment status or number of units accrued at a particular CCC. Minimum Grade Requirements A minimum �C� grade is required in each college course for IGETC. A �C� is defined as a minimum of 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale. Courses in which a student receives a �Pass/Credit� grade may be certified for IGETC if the community college�s policy states that a �Pass/Credit� designation is equivalent to a �C� grade or better at the institution where the course was taken. NOTE: the UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded on a �Pass/No Pass� (Credit/No Credit) basis of the 60 transferable units required for admission. In addition, some UC or CSU campuses may have limitations on Pass/No pass courses that may be used to meet degree requirements. Minimum Unit Value A course must have a minimum unit value of 3 semester or 4 quarter units to meet the requirements for IGETC. It is not acceptable to take three 1 unit courses to fulfill a 3 unit requirement because of the lack of depth or rigor. Exception: 3-quarter unit Math and English courses that satisfy IGETC Area/s 1A or 2 may be applied if they are a part of a sequence, and at least two of the 3-quarter unit sequence courses have each been completed with �C� grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher. The course sequence must meet the rigor of IGETC Standards. CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals Requirement The CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement is not part of IGETC. Courses used to satisfy this requirement may also be listed in IGETC Subject Areas 3B and/or 4. CSU campuses have the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy the CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement to also count in Areas 3B/4. Coursework from Other Institutions Coursework completed at another California Community College should be applied to the subject area in which it is listed by the institution where the work was completed. In addition, the course must have been IGETC approved in the area it was taken at the time it was taken. Approval dates can be verified by consulting the website www.assist.org. Coursework from all other United States regionally accredited institutions should be deemed by the CCC faculty in the discipline or their designee to be comparable to coursework on that community college�s approved IGETC course list before it is allowed to fulfill IGETC requirements. The course should then be used in the same subject areas as those for the community college completing the certification. Upper division work may also be used in limited circumstances. See IGETC standards 5.2.2 for criteria. Foreign Coursework Foreign coursework may be applied to IGETC if the foreign institution has United States regional accreditation. All other foreign coursework cannot be applied to IGETC with the exception of Area 6, Language Other Than English (LOTE). Online/Distance Education/Telecourses California Community Colleges may use online/distance education/telecourses for IGETC provided that the courses have been approved by the CSU and UC during the IGETC review process. Strictly online Oral Communication courses may not be used on IGETC Area 1C (CSU only). Credit by External Exams There is no limit on the number of external exams that can be applied to IGETC. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams can provide IGETC credit as listed on the AP and IB GE charts included in this catalog or visit www.ccctransfer.org/igetc/main-page. Courses and exams may be used only once to satisfy one IGETC subject area, even if they are listed in more than one subject area. Courses may be used to satisfy both IGETC and major requirements. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) cannot be used on IGETC. Students who have earned credit from an external exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both. Credit by exam is acceptable provided that a United States regionally accredited college or university transcript specifies the course title, unit value, and grade. A �Credit/Pass� designation is acceptable provided that the institution�s policy states that a �Credit/Pass� designation is equivalent to a �C� grade (2.0 grade points on a 4.0 grade scale) or better. Moorpark College Catalog 2011/12 91 Planning your Education Planning Your Education External Examinations credit for IG ETC Certification Using Advanced Placement (AP) Credit for IG ETC Certification The following rules apply when applying Advanced Placement (AP) credit toward IGETC Certification: 1. There is no limit on the number of external exams that can be applied to IGETC 2. A score of 3, 4, or 5 is required to grant credit for IGETC certification. An acceptable AP score for IGETC equates to either 3 semester or 4 quarter units for certification purposes. 3. Each AP exam may be applied to one IGETC area as satisfying one course requirement, with the exception of Language other Than English (LOTE). 4. Students who have earned credit from an AP exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both. 5. There is no equivalent AP exam for Area 1B - Critical Thinking/Composition requirement. 6. Students earning scores of 3, 4, or 5 in the physical and biological science AP examinations earn credit toward IGETC Area 5 and meet the IGETC laboratory activity requirement. 7. AP exams in Biology, Chemistry or Physics B allow CCC campuses to apply 4 semester or 5 quarter units to IGETC certification. For Environmental Science, Physics C:Mechanics and Physics C: Electricity/Magnetism, 3 semester or 4 quarter units are applied for IGETC certification; therefore, students who complete these exams will be required to complete at least 4 semester or 5 quarter units to satisfy the minimum required units for Area 5.

For information about when each course is offered, consult the current semester�s Schedule of Classes, which is available online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Occasionally there may be changes concerning course numbers, titles, units of credit, requisites, hours, or course descriptions made after publication of the catalog. Efforts will be made through the Schedules of Classes, public media, and at the time of registration, to notify students of any changes other than as described in the catalog. All degree applicable courses listed in the catalog meet major, general education, or elective credit requirements for approved degree or certificate programs. Understanding the Course Descriptions The following �List of Courses� provides a variety of information about each specific class: the unit value of the course, the number of hours the course meets, the requisites and corequisites, and the transfer status. Transfer Details: Each course description explains the course�s specific transfer status to the California State University (CSU) and/or the University of California (UC) systems. The course may be accepted for credit by the CSU system only, by both the CSU and UC systems, or by neither system. If no transfer status information follows a course description, that course is not acceptable for credit at any of the California public four-year institutions and is probably not accepted at private or out-of-state institutions either. For some courses, the UC system grants limited credit, and an explanation of that limitation is provided.

Students completing human geography will analyze and describe cultural phenomenon such as population, development, agriculture, language and religion. Geography is a dynamic discipline that it is concerned with where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, and how places are similar and/or different. Geographers further examine our interactions with the environment and how physical and cultural landscapes change through time. There are two main branches of geography: physical geography, which focuses on the processes that drive earth�s climate, create landforms, and govern the distribution of plants and animals; and human geography, which focuses on cultural phenomenon such as population, development, agriculture, language and religion. Geography students are trained to examine the spatial organization of physical features and human activities at a variety of spatial scales from local to global. A background in geography is a necessity for careers involving business, economics, planning, education, history, international relations, cartography, conservation, GIS, demography, transportation, tourism and others.
