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 statefunded 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, the Instructional Biotechnology Program opened an 8,000 square foot bio-manufacturing facility on the California State University at Channel Islands campus and The Moorpark Review – a student creative arts journal – debuted with the publication of original student writing and photography. Also in 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register for classes on-line 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 MoorparkCollege graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura County voters passed Measure S, a bond that will provide $356 million in construction financing for the Ventura County Community Colleges, of which $104 will be used to renovate/ expand Moorpark. Moorpark is poised to grow to 19,000 students by the year 2015 and bond monies will fund 23 new or renovated classroom buildings and related facilities.. Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 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 will open in Spring of 2007. 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 second in the state for transfer to the University of California and California State University systems. No local college does a better job preparing students for their future.  Moorpark College graduates are making meaningful contributions to both the public and private sectors in Ventura County, the state and the nation.

Since the College offers more than 1,500 classes in over 100 programs throughout the year, it is certain students will find courses to meet their needs. The myriad of options available are previewed below under “Educational Opportunities.” That section highlights the College’s specialized programs as well as specialized requirements involved with taking certain courses. In-person application, enrollment and registration takes place in Admissions and Records, located in the Administration Building. Enrollment and registration accessible online at www.moorparkcollege.edu/webstar. The information provided below verifies the rules, regulations and options that govern the processes involved with becoming a student. For more information, consider making an appointment with a counselor. It is a good idea to generate a multi-semester Student Education Plan to maximize time and effort. Students can schedule a counseling appointment by calling (805) 378-1428, or they can stop by Counseling in the Administration Building to see a “drop-by” counselor for quick questions. Educational Opportunities Scheduling Options To meet the varying needs of students, courses are offered in many different scheduling patterns. Most are the traditional full term courses, but many are condensed in time to better match busy schedules. Some classes start a few weeks later than the full term classes and meet for roughly 13-15 weeks; these options approximate public-school and four-year-school calendars. Other courses can be completed in shorter time frames, including one-day seminars. Courses are available mornings, afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday, as well as on Saturday. In response to student requests, some specialized courses are even available on Sunday. Most courses are offered on campus, but other locations are used as well, such as high schools and other community locations. Courses are also available through distance education (online and television) requiring minimal trips to campus. Moorpark College’s goal is to be responsive to the many scheduling needs of students as they juggle jobs and family obligations. To match specific scheduling needs with the course offerings, students can consult each semester’s Schedule of Classes. These schedules are available on campus about five weeks prior to each new semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Each course entry notes the length of the course, when it meets and where. The special enrollment and refund deadlines for full-semester classes are listed in each semester’s Schedule of Classes. However, the length of each course determines the deadline (enrollment, drop, refund, etc.). Schedules must be consulted for specific details on deadlines. Honors Program The Honors Program is a series of courses in different disciplines that invites students to explore topics in depth, often by working in a seminar-type class with other motivated students. Students can take an honors course or two in a favorite discipline, or they can graduate from the Honors Program after completing 15 units of honors courses in at least three different disciplines and fulfilling other exit requirements. Honors courses are clearly marked in each Schedule of Classes. UCLA/UC Irvine Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) This partnership with UCLA and UC Irvine provides Honors Program graduates with priority consideration for transfer and eligibility to apply for the “TAP Scholars” scholarship. For more information about the Moorpark College Honors Program, refer to the Moorpark College website. Interdisciplinary Courses and Learning Communities Interdisciplinary courses are designed to provide the student with credit meeting general education requirements in more than one area of study. Such courses are taught by two or more faculty presenting ideas from different points of view, as well as different disciplines’ perspectives. Learning Community classes have themes and connect to careers. Different combinations of courses are available for varying units of credit. Each semester’s Schedule of Classes provides particulars about these team-taught classes. The Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE) The Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE) is an academic program for learners who wish to complete an Associate Degree under an accelerated schedule. PACE’s flexible schedule is ideal for working adults or learners seeking to maximize their time for coursework. The program offers 8-week classes in a number of delivery modes, including traditional on-ground classroom experience, tele-video, and online. Classes are offered evenings and weekends. For the 2006- 2007 academic year, PACE offers associate degrees in Business Administration and Child Development. Both programs may be completed in 19 months. Contact the PACE Office at (805) 378-1402 www.moorparkcollege.edu/pace. Air Force ROTC Program Air Force ROTC is a college-level program designed to select and train highly qualified men and women to become commissioned Air Force officers. AFROTC offers two different programs, a four-year and a two-year program. To enter AFROTC, an individual must have at least two years of college remaining, which may include graduate study. In addition, the individual must be a United States citizen prior to entering the last two years of the program, be able to pass an Air Force medical exam, be of high moral character, and be in good academic standing in school.

The student meets with a faculty advisor who supervises the experience, visits the worksite, and awards the grade. These opportunities for on-the-job learning are advertised and coordinated through the Career Services Center. An existing position might be eligible for credit in the program, if it provides new or expanded learning for the student. The Career Services Center is located in the Campus Center. Call (805) 378- 1536 for more information. Course descriptions are listed in the Catalog under “Work Experience.” Independent Study The intent of an Independent Study is to enable students to further explore particular aspects of a subject by studying it in depth under the direction of an authorized instructor in that discipline. The student is expected to have completed a previous course in the subject matter. Students wishing to enroll in an Independent Study must be enrolled in at least three other units of course work at Moorpark College for the semester in which the Independent Study is to be taken. A student may be enrolled in no more than two independent studies in one semester and no more than one course in a discipline in a semester. A maximum of twelve total units of Independent Study course work may be taken at Moorpark College, with a maximum of six units in one discipline. Students wishing to complete an Independent Study should contact an instructor in the discipline in order to develop a program plan and to initiate the required paperwork by the appropriate deadline. Field Trips A field trip may be a required activity for a number of courses in the college curriculum. For any such courses, it is intended that the field trips be clearly identified in the College Catalog and in each semester’s Schedule of Classes. For other courses, a field trip may be an optional activity for the students enrolled. According to policy adopted by the District’s Governing Board, all persons making any type of field trip or excursion shall be deemed to have waived all claims for injury, accident, illness, or death occurring during or by reason of the field trip or excursion. Auditing Policy Auditing enables a student to attend a class without receiving a grade, taking an exam, or earning unit credit.

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 before enrolling in classes. Important Definitions PREREQUISITE: 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. 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. RECOMMENDED PREPARATION: 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: Note 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. 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 Admissions and 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. A “Petition to Challenge” Form is available from the Counseling Desk in the Administration Building. 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: 1. 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. 2. 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). 3. The prerequisite or corequisite is unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner (student documentation required). 4. The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite (student documentation required). Concurrent High School Student Admission In accordance with the California Education Code high school juniors and seniors are permitted to enroll in college courses as Special High School Admission students. This permission is required for each semester the student wishes to attend until the student graduates from high school or turns 18 years or age, whichever is sooner. High school students must register in person and are limited to a maximum of 11.0 units per semester. Course enrollment fees are waived for Special High School Admission students. All other fees apply. Moorpark College grants college credit only. Succeeding as a Student 1 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 In order to qualify and register for Special High School Admission, all high school students (seniors, juniors or younger) must have the written permission of a parent or guardian and their high school principal or counselor.

It must be postmarked by the refund deadline date appropriate for the classes involved. Refunds are not automatically credited back to a student’s credit card. For the refund to be processed back to a credit card, the student needs to provide the Business Office with the credit card number, expiration date and cardholder’s signature (in person or by mail).

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 the Dean of Student Learning in addition to the counselor’s approval. 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 specific 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 exclusion 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. 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, If dropped or excluded from class, a student may petition the instructor for reinstatement when just cause for the absence exists. If the reason for exclusion is more serious in nature (e.g., Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Discrimination) it would be better for students to start the process of review and intervention with the appropriate Division Dean. The matter may also be brought to the attention of the Executive Vice President of Student Learning at (805) 378-1403. Campus Life Moorpark College is aware of research suggesting that students achieve success more consistently, if they feel a connection to the campus where they attend classes. The friendships made and the activities participated in, therefore, contribute to each student’s future success. Moorpark College offers students various ways to be involved on campus.

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, less than satisfactory.............. 1 point per semester unit F................ Failing.................................................. 0 points per semester unit CR.............. Credit (at least satisfactory) .................. Units awarded not counted in GPA NC.............. No Credit (less than satisfactory, or failing) .................. Units not counted in Grade Point Average 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. The District Governing Board has authorized the use of only the non-evaluative 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 RD - Report Delayed The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the Registrar only. 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. Academic Policies and Standards 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 seventy-five 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. Credit/No Credit Grade Options Colleges of the Ventura County Community College District may offer courses in two Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) options: • Courses which are offered on a Credit/No Credit basis only, or • Courses in which students may elect the Credit/No Credit option. Credit/No Credit Only includes those courses in which all students in the course are evaluated on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis as indicated in the course description in this Catalog. This CR/NC grading option shall be used to the exclusion of all other grades in courses for which there is a single satisfactory standard of performance and for which unit credit is assigned. “Credit” shall be assigned for meeting that standard, and “No Credit” for failure to do so. The second category (Credit/No Credit 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 Credit/No Credit 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 Credit/No Credit basis and to file the appropriate form; otherwise a letter grade will be assigned. The petition for this purpose, “Request for Credit/No Credit,” is available at Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). All units earned on a Credit/No Credit 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 Credit/No Credit 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. Credit (CR) is used to denote “passed with credit” when no letter grade is given. Credit is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of “C” or better. Units earned on a Credit/No Credit basis shall not be used to calculate grade point averages. However, units attempted for which NC 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 Credit/No Credit basis, especially for satisfaction of requirements for the major. Academic Polies and Standards 18 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Availability of Semester Grades Grades for each semester are generally available approximately two weeks after the semester ends. Students have access to their grades online and in person. To access academic records online, go to the Moorpark College website at www. moorparkcollege.edu and click on the Webstar icon to enter the secured area to view grades. An unofficial transcript can be printed from the website. 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 may appeal the situation by following the basic procedure spelled out in the Student Grievance Policy in Student Rights & Responsibilities section. Cheating or Plagiarism Moorpark College takes academic honesty very seriously, since ethical behavior and integrity are vital components of ensuring mutual respect across campus. Instructors, accordingly, have the responsibility and authority for dealing with any cheating or plagiarism that may occur in their classes. Such activities could include stealing tests, using “cheat sheets,” copying off another’s test, or turning in someone else’s work as his/her own. It is the policy of the Ventura County Community College District and Moorpark College that the instructor may dismiss a student involved in such dishonest behavior from class with a grade of “F.” In addition, the faculty member may direct the matter to the Executive Vice President of Student Learning for further disciplinary action. Student Due Process If a problem or complaint arises, students have the right to have the matter or disciplinary action investigated as noted in the official Student Grievance Policy, see Student Rights and Responsibilities Section. Most problems of this type (question regarding grade, dropped for poor attendance, etc.) involve misunderstandings, human error or lack of information about established rules. To address such problems, it is often best to speak directly with the teacher or 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, then contact the Office of Student Learning for further review. The Office of Student Learning can be reached at (805) 378-1403. Grade Changes In any course of instruction in a college of the Ventura County Community College District for which grades are awarded, the instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be awarded each student in accordance with the grading system dealing with academic record symbols and grade point average. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetence. Procedures for the correction of a grade given in error shall include expunging the incorrect grade from the record. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to Change Grade,” is available to the teacher from Registration and Records. Course Repetition A course in which a grade of “C” or better has been earned may not be repeated except as identified in the catalog course description or as stated below. Courses taken at the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District in which a grade of “D,” “F,” “NC” or other substandard grade has been earned may be repeated for the purpose of improving a recorded grade. This policy may apply more than once to any particular course. A course taken at another institution, in which a substandard grade was earned, may be repeated at the colleges of the Ventura County Community District, subject to this policy. In order to identify acceptable equivalencies, course equivalency shall be determined chiefly by content, as defined in the catalog course description, and not by course title or units. Prior approval for course repetition shall be required. The “Petition for Course Repetition” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Upon completion of the repeated course, the previous grade earned shall be omitted from the computation of the cumulative grade point average and lined through on the Moorpark College permanent record. This permanent record shall be annotated in a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true complete academic history. Important Note: Students should understand that other colleges or universities may not accept credit for work which represents a repetition of high school 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 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. A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade point calculations and credits from selected portions of previous 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 is currently enrolled in at least one credit course in the College; 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; and 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. Academic Polies and Standards 19 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 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 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. 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, 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 individual counseling, including 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 Webstar 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 “NC” 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 “NC” 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 Webstar 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.). 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. Withdrawal from Class It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course. Forms for withdrawing from a class are available in Registration and Records in the Administration Building. 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, or between the first 30% of the course and the end of seventy-five percent (75%) of a class Academic Polies and Standards 2 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 less than a semester in length. Withdrawal shall be authorized after informing the appropriate faculty. 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 to Change Grade to Withdrawal,” is available in Registration and 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. Withdrawal from College/Dropping a Class It is the student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from all classes if he/she intends to withdraw from college. A student who withdraws after the end of the fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or after the end of the first thirty percent (30%) of a term for short-term or less than full-semester classes shall have an entry made on his or her permanent record in accordance with the regulations specified in the Withdrawal from Class policy. Appropriate forms are available in Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). Students may withdraw from college or drop a class in the following ways: By web, phone, fax, mail or in-person. Special Situations Regarding the Awarding of Credit College Board Advanced Placement Students who completed advanced placement exams while in high school and who have earned scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations will receive credit towards graduation at Moorpark College for such test completed. An official copy of the test scores must be submitted to the Registration and 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 appointment with a counselor 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. 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. 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 veterans benefits are subject to the rules and regulations of the external agencies involved. Academic Polies and Standards 21 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 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, CR, NC) 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 NC (no credit) 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: 1. 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. 2. 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.). 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 annotated 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 and PE activity courses. 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 Counseling 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 or Counseling Department. 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. Use of Listening or Recording Devices State law in California prohibits the use by anyone in a classroom of any electronic listening or recording device without prior consent of the teacher and school administration. Any student who has need 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. Accuracy of the College Catalog Moorpark College is committed to providing students the most accurate, 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 (805-378-1428) or to 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.

It reflects the conviction of the college that those who receive our degrees must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts and methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. The general education experience should enable individuals to use this knowledge when evaluating and appreciating the physical environment, arts, culture and the society in which they live. Most importantly, since education is a life-long process, general education should lead to better self-understanding and the capacity to adapt, respond and grow in a changing world. In its general education program, MC strives to create coherence and integration among the separate requirements (excerpt from Title 5). Associate Degree 2006-2007 General Education Approved A.

Graduation Application Procedures Students may apply for graduation by scheduling a counseling appointment to submit an application for graduation. The 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. However, formal graduation ceremonies are conducted only at the conclusion of each academic year. The deadline dates for submission of graduation applications are printed in the Moorpark College Schedule of Classes. Major Requirements under which a Student Graduates A student remaining in continuous attendance and pursuing the same major at MC may elect to meet the major in effect either at the time of his or her entering the major, or at the time of his or her graduation from MC. This policy applies only to the requirements for course in a major (Certificates of Achievement and designated Associated degrees) and does not apply to general education requirements. Variance in Major Requirements Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major requirements as specified in the MC catalog due to circumstances beyond control of the student. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may file a Petition for Substitution or Waiver to seek approval from the appropriate college officials to substitute courses in designed major or in general education. The petition forms are available in the Counseling Center. Guidelines for Additional Degree 1. A student who has earned an associate degree at any regionally accredited institution may earn an additional associate degree. 2. A student who holds a higher degree from any regionally accredited institution may earn an associate degree in a specific major (this excludes the Associate in Arts in general liberal arts and sciences). 3. General education requirements earned for one degree may be applied toward another degree. 4. A candidate for an additional degree must complete 12 or more units of credit, in residence at Moorpark College, concurrent with or after completion of requirements for the first associate degree. In addition, a candidate must be in attendance at MC in the semester during which graduation requirements for the additional degree are completed. 5. A student must complete all the required courses listed in the catalog for the specific majors. In the event that unmet requirements for a specific major do not total 12 units, a student must complete the remaining units from electives listed under the major or courses as approved by the appropriate division. 6. In the case of degree offering two or more options, a student may earn an additional degree within the same filed by completing the requirements for that option (the additional degree) and all other requirements specified herein. Appeals to the above policy may be submitted on a petition available in the Counseling Office for approval by the Executive Vice President of Student Learning. Waivers may be granted under extenuating circumstances or when there has not been sufficient opportunity to enroll in required courses. Certificates of Achievement A certificate of Achievement will be granted in specific vocational areas to any student who meets the following requirements: 1. Scholarship – A cumulative grade point average of not less than 2.0 in all college and university work attempted. 2. Major – Completion of all courses required in a curriculum specific in the college catalog 3. Residency – Completion of at least 12 semester units in residence at the college granting the certificate. Certificates of Completion Instructional divisions may award Certificate of Completing to students who have satisfactorily completed a course or a sequence of courses designed to lead them to specific types of employment or to an upgrading of skills..

The California State University (CSU) with 23 campuses, the University of California (UC) with 9 campuses and over 70 private, independent colleges in California provide a wide range of academic programs, physical and academic environments, and social climates. Moorpark College offers the equivalent of the first two years of these four-year college and university degrees. Students who are preparing to transfer are strongly encouraged to balance their studies by taking both general education courses and lower division major courses. Completing only general education courses, especially for high unit majors, such as business administration, natural sciences, math or engineering, may not be in a student’s best interest. Additional coursework may be completed as elective courses, to complement or supplement a major course of study. Academic counseling is available to all students on an appointment basis. Each counselor is a specialist in several academic areas, and you may wish to see a counselor according to the major you declare. All counselors have the expertise to assist you with courses selection, program planning, and questions concerning requirements for admission, majors, general education and transfer to a fouryear college or university. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor as early as possible to discuss their educational plan. Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA) What is a Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA)? A TAA is a formal, written agreement that outlines the courses a student must complete before transferring, states the grade-point average you must earn, (differs from college to college) and lists specific requirements for selective majors. Once it has been determined that a student is eligible to transfer to the University as a junior and that they meet the TAA criteria for their major, their Moorpark College counselor will start the process. A TAA is usually written after a student has completed 30 transferable units, normally up to one year prior to transfer. It is important that a student wishing to transfer under a Transfer Agreement begins working with a counselor in his/her major as soon as possible to carefully plan academic work. Moorpark College students can explore TAA/TAGs with the following Universities: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles (under the Transfer Achievement Program), UC Merced (in progress), UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, CSU Channel Islands, CSU Northridge, CSU San Bernardino, CSU Sonoma, California Lutheran University. Articulation with Four-Year Institution To assist the student with transfer to four-year institutions, articulation agreements have been established with most California State University, University of California campuses and some independent California colleges and out-of-state institutions. These agreements define the courses at MC that satisfy General Education and many lower division major requirements at four-year institutions. A list of general education and major preparation courses for most California public four-year institutions can be found on ASSIST. ASSIST Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) is a computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports of how course credits earned at one California college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California’s 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. Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP) The Lower-Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) project, sponsored by the California State University (CSU) and supported by the California Community Colleges, presents potential transfer students with the most direct path to a bachelor’s degree in the CSU system. Community college students who elect to follow the LDTP option will receive the highest priority for admission to a CSU campus. Students will be asked to complete successfully a specified set of general education courses and major courses that will be common to all CSU campuses offering that major, and they will be asked to complete successfully an additional set of courses identified by the particular CSU campus named in the LDTP agreement. For more information on the CSU LDTP, schedule an appointment with a Moorpark counselor at (805) 378-1428. CAN The California Articulation Number System (CAN) is a statewide numbering system independent from course numbers assigned by local colleges. A CAN number indicates that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by other campuses are equivalent in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses regardless of their unique titles or local identifying numbers. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course bearing a CAN number, students on one campus can be assured that it will be accepted “in lieu of” the comparable CAN course noted in the catalog or schedule of classes of another campus. For example, CAN ECON 2 on one campus will be accepted as meeting the requirement of the designated CAN ECON 2 course on other participating community college or university campuses. The CAN numbering system is useful for student attending more than one community college and is applied to many of the transferable, lower division courses students need as preparation for their intended major. Because these course requirements may change, however, and because courses are continually being redefined, qualified for or deleted from the CAN databases, students should always check with their campus’ counselors, or the articulation officer to determine how CAN designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer.

MATH M15 Intro to Statistics Transfer Admission Requirements to: University of California (UC) There are several ways to meet the University’s minimum admission requirements for transfer students, as described below. The path you use depends upon the degree to which you satisfy UC’s minimum eligibility requirements for freshmen at the time of graduation from high school. 1. If you were eligible for admission to the University when you graduated from high school, meaning you satisfied the Subject, Scholarship and Examination requirements, or were identified by the University during the senior year in high school as being eligible under the Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) program you are eligible to transfer if you have a C (2.0) average in your transferable college coursework. 2. Students who met the Scholarship Requirement but who did not complete all the Subject Requirements must take appropriate transferable college courses in the missing subjects and earn a C or better in each course as well as an overall C average (2.0) in transferable courses. 3. Students who were not eligible for the University of California from high school because they did not meet the Scholarship Requirement must: (a) Complete 60 transferable semester units with a grade point average of at least 2.8 for non-resident students, and (b) Complete the following course pattern, earning at least a C (2.0) or better in each course: - two transferable college courses in English Composition; and - one transferable college course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and - four transferable college courses (3 semester units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, the physical and biological sciences. All campuses require that students complete English composition and math by the end of the spring term prior to fall transfer. Some campuses also require that the 60 semester units minimum be completed no later than the spring semester. Students who satisfy the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) prior to transferring to UC will automatically satisfy option 3B above.

Career, Graduation and Transfer 3 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) – 2006-07 General education requirements are designed to give University undergraduates a broad background in all major academic disciplines. Each school and college at every UC campus has its own general education requirement. Students can also have the option of completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). The IGETC is a series of courses that community college students can use to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any CSU or UC campus. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum will permit a student to transfer without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus specific General Education requirements. The IGETC is not an admission 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. Students may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling CSU’s (campus specific) general education requirements or those of a particular UC campus. See your counselor for advice on your particular educational goal. 2006-07 IGETC Courses AREA 1 - ENGLISH COMMUNICATION CSU: 3 courses required, one from each group below.

Transfer credit may be limited by either UC or CSU or both. Please consult with a counselor for additional information. . Both courses must be taken for certification. (L) Designates courses with a laboratory. Grades for IGETC All courses in the IGETC must be completed with a “CR” (Credit) or grade of “C” or better. Full IGETC Certification For certification, IGETC must be completed prior to transfer. Certification of these units is not automatic and certification must be requested at the MC Counseling Office after the student completes all of the IGETC requirements. Certification will not be made when course are still in progress or before grades are known. Partial IGETC Certification It is expected that all students using IGETC as their general education pattern will have completed it prior to transfer. However, partial certification may be requested if severe hardship (MUST be documented) prevented the student from completing all required courses. Hardship may be determined to be: (1) accident or illness in the FINAL semester at MC; (2) work schedule changes in the FINAL semester at MC; (3) course cancellation by the college in the FINAL semester; (4) documented counselor error. Area 1 and Area 2 CANNOT be completed after transfer. If any of the above exceptions or situations applies to your academic record, please consult with a MC counselor for more information. Double-Counting Even though a course may be listed in more than one area on IGETC, a course may only be counted in one area. UC will allow requirements completed as preparation for the major to be used in the IGETC wherever they appear. In addition, courses use to satisfy the U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals requirements cannot be used to double count on the IGETC. Quarter Units vs. Semester Units Students with both quarter and semester unit course work may find it difficult to combine the two in order to complete the required number of units. Additional course work may be necessary in order to accumulate the required number of courses or units in certain IGETC areas. Please meet with a counselor for assistance. Courses Completed at Other Colleges Courses completed at any regionally accredited college can be used. However, the majority of courses used to complete IGETC requirements must be taken at a California community college. Course work from other California community colleges will be applied in the IGETC category listed from that campus. Courses must have been on that college’s IGETC list when the course was taken. Students transferring from other than a California community college may have course certified as equivalent to MC courses if an equivalent course is taught at MC. Such courses would be placed in the same IGETC category as the equivalent MC course. There are some restrictions about using courses from a CSU or UC to fulfill IGETC. Courses Taken at Foreign Institutions These courses will not be permitted for certification on the IGETC. AP Scores for IGETC certification AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 can be used to satisfy any IGETC subject area except the Critical Thinking/English Composition or the Oral Communication requirements (Area 1B & C). Each AP score can only be used as one course. The AP course must have been evaluated and approved by MC faculty. A list of facultyapproved Advanced Placement scores and equivalent courses is available from a Moorpark College counselor. California State University Transfer Requirements The CSU guarantees admission to the CSU system to all California community college (CCC) students who meet CSU upper division transfer admission requirements. Effective Fall 2005, students with fewer than 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units are considered lower division transfer students, and those with 60 or more transferable semester (90 quarter) units are considered upper division transfer. The CSU assigns the highest priority for admission to CCC transfer students who have completed 60 semester transferable units. Upper Division Transfer (60 to 70 semester units) Students may qualify for admission if they: • Completed 60 semester (90 quarter) units • Have completed or will complete prior to transfer at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units selected from courses in English, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, and a CSU GE approved mathematics course. • Have a college GPA of 2.0 or better (2.4 for non-California residents) in all transferable college units completed. 2006-07 CSU General Education Courses AREA A: COMMUNICATION / CRITICAL THINKING A minimum of nine semester or 12 qtr. units, with at least on course from each group (1, 2 and 3) and a grade of C or better in each course: Group 1: Oral Communication SPCH M01, M02 Group 2: Written Communication ENGL M01A, M01AH Group 3: Critical Thinking ENGL M01B, M01BH, M01C, M01CH; PHIL M05, M07, M09; SPCH M07, M25 AREA B: NATURAL SCIENCE A minimum of nine semester or 12 qtr. units, with at least one course from each group (1, 2, 3 and 4) to include one laboratory course (group 3).

Full Certification Completion of all five sections (A-E) of these requirements prior to transferring will permit MC 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. Certification is not automatic and must be requested by the student. Partial/Subject Area Certification It is possible to complete separately any of the areas or sections (A-E) at MC and receive partial certification in any or several of those 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. Course Restriction 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 and California Government. Courses approved to satisfy this requirement are specified in the appropriate areas and most may be doublecounted toward satisfying General Education Breadth requirements. 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. Advanced Placement Examinations in CSU General Education-Breadth Certification The following Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into certification of completion of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements. Students must have scored 3, 4, or 5 on an Advanced Placement examination listed below to receive the credit indicated. All CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown below toward fulfillment of the designated General Education-Breadth area if the examination is included in a full or subjectarea certification; individual CSU campuses may choose to accept more units than those specified below towards completion of General Education-Breadth requirements. The CSU campus to which the student is transferring determines the total number of units awarded for successful completion of an Advanced Placement examination to the graduation requirements.

Transfer credit: CSU Choosing Classes The basic requirements for achieving a Degree or Certificate in a specific discipline are noted in the following “List of Courses.” Some disciplines provide a sample course sequence that suggests how to schedule the classes to make the most of a student’s time on campus. For information about when each course is offered, consult the current semester’s Schedule of Classes, which is available on campus about five weeks prior to the start of each semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Occasionally there may be changes concerning course numbers, titles, units of credit, prerequisites, 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 prerequisites 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. If you have any questions, talk to a counselor or explore a range of online information available in the Transfer Center (Admin. Bldg., (805) 378-1551).

Degree in Archaeology Associate In Arts Degree To earn an Associate in Arts Degree with a major in Archaeology, students complete 37 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Archaeology offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in archaeology is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor’s Degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in archaeology. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment. This specialized program in Archaeology is NOT intended to be used as a license for independent unsupervised archaeological research. Rather it is designed to introduce students to archaeological research, providing opportunities to actively participate in supervised archaeological research.
