Moorpark College - College Information 2015-2016 MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENTS Welcome to Moorpark College! We opened in 1967, and we are very proud of our beautiful campus, our stellar faculty and staff, and our excellent programs. Whether you are a current or prospective student, or simply visiting our campus to attend one of our many cultural or intellectual events, I trust that you will be welcomed warmly and helpfully by all of our employees. Moorpark College is a member of the Ventura County Community College District, and is recognized as one of our nation..s ..nest community colleges. Many of our students attend Moorpark College in order to cultivate technical skills that lead to well-paid and secure careers, and a large number of our students transfer to highly respected public and private universities. But in addition to the subject-matter expertise our students acquire, we also teach by example the values we embrace. Those values include citizenship, responsibility, compassion, and collegiality. We take very seriously our responsibility to the communities we serve, and to maintain high standards of integrity, service, excellence, and continuous improvement. As the son of hard-working immigrants, I love this nation of freedom and opportunity, and it is my privilege to help our students ..nd, academically and professionally, their footing in life. It is our joy to hear the many success stories of former students who have gone on to spectacular success and achievement. We are even more moved by those who toil unheralded in the quiet service of their communities, or on the broader national and international stages, to help us address the many vexing challenges our world faces. Their work ensures that our children and grandchildren may continue to experience the “blessings of liberty” which we so gratefully enjoy here at Moorpark College. Luis P. Sanchez, JD, LLM President Welcome! The Faculty looks forward to working with you on your educational journey. We are very proud of our excellent academic programs, our student support, and fabulous career and technical programs including our nursing, EATM (Exotic Animal Training Management), and biotechnology programs. We encourage you to get involved not only in your class work, but the college as a whole. Join a club, athletics, student government, or the national award winning forensic team. Lets “Moorpark” it. Mary Rees Academic Senate President Moorpark College Foundation The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 and is a nonprofit, tax-exempt auxiliary organization which accepts and solicits gifts, donations, trusts, and bequests for college related use. It provides tax deductible advantages to the donor. It also provides a method for the college to interact with businesses, government, and other nonprofit agencies in the broader Southern California community. Though public funds provide support for most of the instructional and related activities and facilities at the college, donations, gifts and bequests provide a significant addition to institutional accomplishments. Private contributions are essential for the support of creative faculty efforts which extend beyond normal institutionally supported areas, including scholarships for incoming honor students and exiting transfer students, necessary physical facilities such as the Charles Temple Observatory, Griffin Stadium, and special instructor-created projects which enhance a student’s learning experience. For more information, call (805) 378-1550. Write Moorpark College Foundation, 7075 Campus Road, Moorpark, CA 93021. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. Website: www.moorparkcollege.edu/foundation. Moorpark College - College Information 2015-2016 HISTORY OF MOORPARK COLLEGE HISTORY OF MOORPARK COLLEGE 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 career technical 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. Also, graphics professor Ted Phillips created a 30th anniversary logo that featured cypress trees and the fountain. 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. Also, 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 County voters passed Measure S, a bond that provided $356 million in construction financing for the Ventura County Community Colleges, of which $104 million was used to renovate/expand Moorpark College. In July 2002, Dr. Eva Conrad became Moorpark’s eighth president replacing Dr. 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 May 2007, the college unveiled a new seal in preparation for adoption of a 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 other college purposes. In Fall 2007, the old library was renovated, renamed Fountain Hall and opened for classes. In July 2008, Dr. Pam Eddinger became Moorpark’s ninth president, replacing Dr. Conrad who retired. Fall 2008 enrollment grew to 15,800 and construction began on the Health Sciences Center, the Academic Center, and the Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) Building, all of which are now open for instruction. Dr. Bernard Luskin served as interim president from 2013-2014. In February 2015, Luis P. Sanchez, JD, LLM, became the 10th president of Moorpark College. 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. 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.

Special full-time admission students are required to complete at least 12 units in each primary term, and to maintain continuous enrollment until reaching the age of 18. Residency Requirements The determination of legal California residence is a complex matter. Students will be required to present various kinds of documentation for purposes of the final determination. All questions as to legal residence and the exceptions allowed under California law shall be directed to the Admissions & Records Office. The right of a student to attend any public community college in California is conditioned by certain residency qualifications set forth in the California Education Code. Residence determination is based on state and federal law, and is subject to change without prior notification. California Residents To qualify as a California resident, a student must have legally resided in California for one year and one day prior to the beginning of the semester he or she is planning to attend and must have taken actions that express intent to establish California residence. 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 non-resident classification for admission and tuition purposes. A list of acceptable documents is available on the college website and from the Admissions & Records Office. Non-citizens holding immigrant and non-immigrant visas (other than F1 or M1) may be eligible to establish California residency if allowed under the terms of his/her visa, and upon presentation of acceptable residency documentation. The student will initially be classified as a nonresident and required to present the following items at the Admissions & Records Office: • Visa • Documentation that verifies that the student has resided in California for one year and one day preceding the first day of the semester, and that the student has taken actions consistent with the intent to establish California residency. 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, or who is not eligible to establish residency. Students classified as nonresidents shall pay non-resident tuition fees in addition to mandatory enrollment and health fees. Conduct inconsistent with a claim for California residence includes but is not limited to: • being an actively registered voter in another state • petitioning for divorce as a resident of another state • attending an out-of-state educational institution as a resident of that state • declaring nonresident status for California state income tax purposes • maintaining a valid driver’s license or vehicle Legal intent to establish residency in California requires that the student take actions that carry an expression of intent to make California their primary and permanent state of residence. Intent can be manifested in many ways, including but not limited to filing California taxes as a resident, being a registered California voter, registering vehicles in California, buying residential property in California (and living here). Moorpark College - Admissions & Registration 2015-2016 U.S. citizens or permanent residents who previously held California residency and are returning to the state after an absence, and Non- citizens without lawful immigration status shall be classified as a nonresidents but may be exempted from payment of nonresident tuition pursuant to AB 540 provided they submit verifiable documentation to certify that they meet all of the following criteria: • Attendance at a California high school for three or more years; and • Graduation from a California high school or attainment of the equivalent thereof, (CHSPE, GED acceptable); and • Submission of the self-certifying affidavit required by the California Community Colleges’ Chancellor’s Office; and • Submission of additional verifying documentation as required by the college (e.g. high school transcripts). In accordance with Education Code Section 68075.5(c), a full exemption from the nonresident fee for all students verified to be “covered individuals” per the criteria listed below and that qualify to use Montgomery GI Bill- Active Duty or Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits (Chapters 30 and 33, respectively, of Title 38, U.S. Code) while living in California will be eligible for this exemption. A “covered individual” is defined in the VACA Act as: 1. A Veteran who lives in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more. 2. A spouse or child entitled to transferred education benefits who lives in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within 3 years of the transferor’s discharge from a period of active duty service of 90 days or more. 3. A spouse or child using benefits under the Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (provides Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to the children and surviving spouses of service members who died in the line of duty while on active duty) who lives in the state in which the institution of higher learning is located (regardless of his/her formal state of residence) and enrolls in the school within three years of the Servicemember’s death in the line of duty following a period of active duty service of 90 days or more. 4. After expiration of the three year period following discharge or death as described in 38 U.S.C. 3679(c), a student who initially qualifies under the applicable requirements above will maintain “covered individual” status as long as he or she remains continuously enrolled (other than during regularly scheduled breaks between courses, semesters or terms) at the institution, even if they enroll in multiple programs and shall continue to be exempt from paying nonresident tuition and other fees as described in the updated fee policy described below. Students eligible for VA education benefits must provide a “Certificate of Eligibility” (COE) by the VA that will confirm the approved education benefits for the veteran or eligible dependent (who is made eligible through the Transfer of Entitlement (TOE) to basic educational assistance under chapters 30 and 33 of title 38, U.S. Code). The DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, generally referred to as a "DD 214", may also need to be submitted to assist with confirming the “covered individual” status as it will show the effective date of the veteran’s discharge from active service. Reclassification of Residence Status Students who are admitted as nonresidents must petition for reclassification to California resident status. The petition process includes the completion of a Residence Reclassification Request form and the submission of acceptable documentation to support a claim that the student has met the requirements for physical presence and intent to establish legal residence in California. The physical presence requirement is one year of living in California. Students must show proof that California has been their primary state of residence, excluding vacations, for one year and one day prior to the beginning of the term for which reclassification is requested. Request for Reclassification may be denied if the student: • is in California solely for educational purposes. • possesses a driver’s license or vehicle registration or voter registration or selective service registration from a state other than California; such items constitute maintaining residence in another state. • is claimed as a dependent on out-of-state tax returns (e.g., by parents living in another state). Other regulations and restrictions apply that may affect the determination of residence status. Questions should be referred to the Admissions & Records Office. Military Personnel and Dependents A student who is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty (except a service member assigned for educational purposes to a state-supported institution of higher education), or a student who is a dependent (natural or adopted child, stepchild, or spouse) of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty is entitled to resident classification only for the purpose of determining the amount of tuition and fees. If that service member is subsequently transferred out of California on military orders but continues to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, or is subsequently retired from military service, neither the service member nor his or her dependent shall lose resident classification for tuition purposes so long as he or she remains continuously enrolled at the institution. MILITARY VETERANS Active duty military personnel and their dependents, military veterans and their dependents are subject to the same criteria and regulations regarding the establishment of California residency as other nonresident students. The information provided herein refers to the assignment of California residency based on active-duty or discharged veteran status solely for the purposes of determining the tuition and fees for eligible service members, former service members and their dependents. A student who was a member of the Armed Forces of the United States stationed in this state on active duty for more than one year immediately prior to being discharged shall be exempt from paying nonresident tuition for up to one year if he or she files an affidavit with the community college stating that he or she intends to establish residency in California as soon as possible. The one year exemption provided in paragraph (1) shall be used while the student lives in this state and within two years of being discharged. A former member of the Armed Forces of the United States who received a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge shall not be eligible for an exemption pursuant to this section.

Moorpark College - Admissions & Registration 2015-2016 Moorpark College Student Success and Support Program See APPENDIX XII for Details Student Success and Support Program assists all students in attaining academic success. It is a partnership between the College and the student for the purposes of defining and realizing the student’s educational goal. This agreement includes responsibilities for both the college and the individual student, who work together combining several activities and processes to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The SEP is a schedule of recommended courses that the student must take to achieve his/her educational goals. The following Student Success and Support Services activities must be completed before registration: • online and/or In-person orientation, • assessment testing for math and English prerequisite clearance and course placement recommendations, and • Student Educational Plan (SEP) Additional requirements and exceptions apply. Consult APPENDIX XII at the end of this catalog for full policy and procedures regarding Student Success and Support Services. Registration Procedures See APPENDIX XV for details on Enrollment Priority. Register online through the student portal (my.vcccd.edu) for the earliest and best opportunity to enroll in classes. Registration appointments are posted approximately one week before registration begins. Registration calendars may be viewed through the portal or the college website. Be aware that instructors may drop students who are registered or waitlisted but fail to attend the first day of class. New Students receive enrollment priority after completing orientation, assessment and a student educational plan. These may be accomplished in different ways including but not limited to completing the online orientation or attending an in-person session; taking the assessment tests, submitting transcripts of other college work completed and/or other test scores for evaluation; completing a one- or two-semester “abbreviated” educational plan, or developing a comprehensive educational plan that is approved by an academic counselor. Continuing Students receive enrollment priority based on the number of completed and in-progress degree-applicable units taken at any of the colleges in this district providing they have not been placed on academic or progress probation for two consecutive terms, and have an active educational plan based on an informed program of study. Transfer units are not used to calculate enrollment priority. Limitations • Continuing students who have earned more than 90 units will lose enrollment priority and will register during open registration unless they successfully petition for a waiver that reinstates them to the previous enrollment priority. The petition for reinstatement of enrollment priority is initiated through a counseling appointment. • Students may petition for reinstatement of registration priority if they are enrolled in a high-unit major or program of study, high- unit transfer major; or are registering for their last semester at the college. • Continuing students who are placed on academic or progress probation or more serious academic sanction for two consecutive terms will lose enrollment priority and will register during open registration. Students who lose their priority may appeal if they have verifiable extenuating circumstances as defined below; an approved appeal will result in the reinstatement of enrollment priority. The petition to appeal loss of enrollment priority is initiated through a counseling appointment. • Extenuating circumstances are defined as verifiable cases of accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. Appeals must be supported by verifiable documentation of circumstances. Returning Students who have not attended in at least one year, who have completed fewer than 90 units and have completed orientation assessment and an educational plan will have registration priority over returning students who do not meet these criteria. Special Admission Students register behind other groups as designated by state mandate. Where the district has an MOU with specific high schools that designate them as partners in a “middle college high school” agreement, the students from those high schools will be afforded priority over other special admission students. Special admission students who are concurrently enrolled in K-12 schools must register in person on the dates specified each term in the registration calendar. Early Priority Registration will be granted to students who are identified as foster youth or former foster youth (through age 24); eligible for services through the EOPS, ACCESS (DSPS) and/or CalWorks; students who are military veterans or active duty service members, providing that: • All students in these groups have completed orientation assessment and an educational plan (with the sole exception that a DSPS student may have enrollment priority expressly listed as an accommodation). • Continuing students who are EOPS, ACCESS (DSPS), CalWORKs and active duty or military veterans are in good academic standing, and have not earned more than 90 degree applicable units in the district. The California Community College Board of Governors have established system-wide enrollment priorities designed to ensure that classes are available for students seeking associate degrees, transfer or job training, and to reward students who make steady and efficient progress toward their edu+cational goals. Students who have earned 90.5 or more degree applicable units within the Ventura County Community College District or who are on academic or progress probation for a second consecutive term will lose their registration priority. These changes will affect all enrollment priorities including those in priority level 1 (except foster youth and former foster youth as established by statute).

Students must have completed the prerequisite course at this college with a grade of A, B, C or P, or be currently enrolled in the prerequisite class at one of the VCCCD colleges, or have had external transcripts evaluated in the Counseling Office and received prerequisite clearance.

Appeals Students who have lost registration priority due to having more than 90 earned degree-applicable units, or for being on probation for two consecutive semesters or dismissal, may appeal for reinstatement of their priority due to extenuating circumstance. The appeal must be supported by verifiable extenuating circumstances. See APPENDIX XV for more detailed information, or contact the Counseling Office. Registration appointments are determined by student status as a continuing, returning or new student; and for continuing students, by the total number of degree applicable completed and in-progress units within the VCCCD in addition to academic standing. The calculation of total units includes degree applicable units earned only at colleges within the Ventura County Community College District. The registration priority for students who have earned 90.5 or more degree applicable units at the colleges of the VCCCD will have their registration appointment set to the lowest continuing student registration level. This provision will not affect students who are identified as foster youth and former foster youth as established by statute. Students that have lost enrollment priority may appeal due to extenuating circumstances.

Instructors are required to drop all registered and waitlisted students who do not attend the first day of class and those who quit attending prior to the census date for each class. They may, but are not required to, drop registered students who quit attending after census but before the final drop deadline for each class. Students are responsible for dropping their classes and withdrawing from the college, and should initiate the drop themselves. All students admitted to the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District are expected to attend classes regularly, both because continuity of attendance is necessary to both individual and group progress in any class, and because financial support of the college is dependent upon student attendance. Absence for any reason does not relieve the student from the responsibility of completing all class requirements. It is also the responsibility of students, at the beginning of the semester, to become aware of the attendance and absence policies of the instructor for each class in which they are enrolled. 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 drop such student from the class and record a grade in accordance with the policy for dropping a course. Grading System and 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 Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) Board of Trustees. Units of Credit The Carnegie unit formula applies to all credit courses offered by the College, whether or not applicable to the associate degree. “One credit hour of community college work (one unit of credit) requires a minimum of 48 hours of lecture, study, or laboratory work at colleges operating on the semester system.” The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District bases its semester unit on one lecture class period of 50 minutes each week of a minimum 16-week semester. For practical purposes, the following terms are synonymous: unit, semester unit, semester hours, credit, credit hour. For purposes of sections dealing with standards for probation and dismissal, all units attempted means all units of credit for which the student was enrolled in any college or university, regardless of whether the student completed the courses or received any credit or grade. Letter Grading Scale Grades from a grading scale shall be averaged on the basis of the point equivalence to determine a student’s grade point average. The highest grade shall receive four points, and the lowest grade shall receive no point, using the following evaluative symbols: Evaluative Symbols A – Excellent (4 points per semester unit) B – Good (3 points per semester unit) C – Satisfactory (2 points per semester unit) D – Less than satisfactory (1 point per semester unit) F – Failing (0 point per semester unit) P – Pass, at least satisfactory (units awarded not counted in GPA. Replaced CR effective Fall 2009) Pass (“P”) is used to denote “passed with credit” when no letter grade is given. Credit is assigned for work of such quality equivalent to a letter grade of “C” or better. NP – No Pass, less than satisfactory, or failing (units not counted in GPA. Replaced NC effective Fall 2009) CRE – Credit by Exam (units awarded not counted in GPA prior to Fall 2015) 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. Non-Evaluative Symbols The District Governing Board has authorized the use of the non- evaluative symbols “I,” “IP,” “RD,” “W,” and “MW” 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. Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2015-2016 IP – In Progress The “IP” symbol shall be used only in those courses which extend beyond the normal end of an academic term. It indicates that work is “in progress,” but that assignment of an evaluative symbol (grade) must await its completion. The “IP” symbol shall remain on the student’s permanent record in order to satisfy enrollment documentation. The appropriate evaluative symbol (grade) and unit credit shall be assigned and appear on the student’s permanent record for the term in which the course is completed. The “IP” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. If a student enrolled in an “open-entry, open- exit” course is assigned an “IP” at the end of a term and does not re-enroll in that course during the subsequent attendance period, the appropriate faculty will assign an evaluative grade symbol in accordance with the academic record symbols to be recorded on the student’s permanent record for the course. 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. W - Withdrawal Withdrawing from semester-length classes: Students may withdraw from full semester-length classes through the end of the 14th week. A grade of “W” will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur between the class census date and the end of the 14th week. No grade will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur before the class census date. Students still enrolled after the end of the 14th week will receive a grade other than “W” on their academic record. Withdrawing from short-term classes: Students may withdraw from short-term classes through 75% of the total number of class meetings. A grade of “W” will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur between the class census date and the 75% deadline. No grade will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur before the class census date. Students still enrolled after 75% of class meetings will receive a grade other than “W” on their academic record. The census date for each class is determined by the length of the class and may vary. Consult the class syllabus or instructor for more information. MW - Military Withdrawal Military withdrawal occurs when students who are members of an active or reserve United States military service receive orders compelling withdrawal from classes. Upon verification of orders, the appropriate withdrawal symbol may be assigned at any time after the period established by the governing board during which no notation is made on the permanent academic record for withdrawals. Students requesting military withdrawal must present a petition for withdrawal and a copy of the military orders, or other acceptable documentation, which verifies the dates and location of military assignment that compelled or compels withdrawal from classes. Military withdrawal may be requested at any time upon the student’s return to college. A grade of MW shall be recorded on the permanent academic record upon approval of petition for military withdrawal that occurs after the third week of full-semester length classes or 16% of total meetings of short-term classes. MW grades shall not be counted as one of the three enrollment attempts allowed to achieve a standard (passing) grade of C/P or better, or in the calculation of a student’s academic progress for the determination of academic standing. Scholastic Standing and Achievement Scholastic standing is based on a student’s work measured quantitatively in semester units and qualitatively in letter grades. This relationship is expressed as a numerical grade point average. To illustrate the calculation of a grade point average, a student who earns a grade of A in three units, B in three units, C in three units, D in three units, F in two units, and CR in two units, would have a grade point average of 2.14. The computation is shown below: 3 units A x 4 = 12 grade points 3 units B x 3 = 9 grade points 3 units C x 2 = 6 grade points 3 units D x 1 = 3 grade points 2 units F x 0 = 0 grade point 2 units CR x 0 = 0 grade point 14 graded units 30 grade points (+2 CR) 30÷14 = 2.14 grade point average In calculating a student’s degree-applicable grade point average, grades earned in nondegree courses shall not be included. Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2015-2016 Pass/No Pass Grading Option (Formerly Credit/No Credit) Pass/No Pass replaced Credit/No Credit effective Fall 2009. Colleges of the Ventura County Community College District may offer courses in two pass/no pass (“P”/”NP”) options: (1) courses which are offered on a pass/no pass basis only, and (2) courses in which students may elect the pass/no pass option. Pass (“P”) 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. The first category includes those courses in which all students in the course are evaluated on a pass/no pass (“P”/”NP”) basis. This “P”/”NP” 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, no credit for failure to do so. The second category of Pass/No Pass options is comprised of courses designated by the college wherein each student may elect by no later than the end of the first 30 (16% for short-term courses) percent of the term or length of the class whether the basis of evaluation is to be Pass/No Pass or a letter grade. Once the 30 (16% for short term courses) percent deadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn. It is the student’s responsibility to file appropriate form by the 30% (16% for short-term courses) deadline; otherwise a letter grade will be assigned. The petition for this purpose, “Request for Pass/No Pass Grade” is available online at the college website and through the MyVCCCD student portal (see “college downloadable forms”). All units earned on a pass/no pass basis in accredited California institutions of higher education or equivalent out-of-state institutions shall be counted in satisfaction of community college curriculum requirements. A student may apply a maximum of 20 units of credit earned under the pass/no pass option to an A.A. or A.S. degree or Certificate of Achievement. Units earned on a Pass/No Pass basis shall not be used to calculate grade point averages. However, units attempted for which “NP” is recorded shall be considered in probation and dismissal procedures. Notice: Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may restrict the acceptance of courses taken on a pass/no pass basis, especially for general education major requirements; therefore, units of “Pass” should not be used to satisfy major requirements for AA, AS degrees or transfer. Remedial Coursework Limitations The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) offer courses which are defined as remedial. “Remedial coursework” refers to nondegree-applicable basic skills courses in reading, writing, computation, learning skills, study 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 proficiency awards, certificates of achievement, or associate degrees. 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. Students who exhaust the unit limitation shall be referred to appropriate adult non-credit educational services provided by adult schools or other appropriate local providers with which the colleges have an established referral agreement. Such a student may, upon successful completion of appropriate “remedial coursework,” or upon demonstration of skills levels which will reasonably assure success in college-level courses, request reinstatement to proceed with college-level coursework. Procedures relating to dismissal and reinstatement are specified in the College Catalog under policies governing Probation, Dismissal and Readmission. The petition for this purpose, Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission, is available in the Counseling Office. The following students are exempted from the limitation on remedial coursework: students enrolled in one or more courses of English as a Second Language and/or students identified by one of the colleges as having a learning disability. Any student who shows significant, measurable progress toward the development of skills appropriate to his or her enrollment in college- level courses may qualify for a waiver of the unit limitation. Petitions for waiver can only be given for specified periods of time or for a specified number of units. The petition for this purpose, the Student Educational Plan, is available in the Counseling Office. The Office of Student Learning shall maintain a list for each academic year of remedial courses limited by this policy. Students should be aware that this policy applies to all students enrolled in remedial coursework. Students receiving financial aid may have more restrictive limitations due to federal regulations. The federal rules specify a limitation of one year regardless of units, do not exempt learning skills, and do not provide for a waiver. Final Examinations Final examinations are given at the end of each semester. Students are required to take examinations for the classes in which they are enrolled. No examinations are administered prior to the regular schedule for examinations. Grade Changes Grades are determined and assigned as a result of academic assessment made by the instructor of record of a course. 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 removal or change of an incorrect grade from a student’s record shall only be done pursuant to California Education Code §76232, or by a compliant alternative method that ensures that each student shall be afforded an objective and reasonable review of the requested grade change. Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2015-2016 Grade change petitions must be submitted by the instructor of record or appropriate substitute, or by the Executive Vice President. Procedure requires that a 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 faculty member to substitute for the instructor of record. Grade changes shall be requested by the student no more than three (3) 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 by the instructor. Students may be required to provide documentation to support the requested 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 notice of the change. Pass/No Pass (P/NP), Credit/No Credit (C/NC) and Credit-by-Exam (CRE) grade designations, once applied to the transcript, cannot be changed to a letter grade. When grade changes are 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. Availability of Semester Grades Grades for each semester are generally available within 24 hours of each instructor submitting his/her grades. Students may access their grades through their portal at my.vcccd.edu. Students with outstanding fees and/or obligations will not be able to access their grades until they have cleared their fees/obligations. Auditing Classes Auditing enables a student to attend a class without taking exams, receiving a grade or earning unit credit. Students enrolled in ten units or more in Fall or Spring (or three or more unit in Summer) may, with instructor consent, be allowed to audit one lecture class per term without a fee. Students enrolled in less than ten units may, with instructor consent, audit one lecture class per term for a non-refundable fee of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per unit per semester. Audit students must also pay the health fee. Audit fees are nonrefundable. All fees are subject to change. Priority in class enrollment shall be given to students desiring to take the courses for credit toward a certificate, degree or transfer certification. Petitions to Audit are accepted on or after the last two days of program adjustment as specified in the registration calendar. Laboratory and activity classes are not normally eligible for audit. Students auditing a course shall not be permitted to change their enrollment in that course to receive credit for the course, nor are they permitted to challenge the course at a later date. Students auditing a course are not permitted to take exams in class, nor are they permitted to challenge the course by exam at a later date. Instructors are under no obligation to grade assignments of students auditing a course. Attendance requirements for students auditing courses are the same for all other students as stated in this Catalog. The Petition to Audit is available at the office of Admissions & Records. Withdrawal from Class Withdrawal from a class or from the college is primarily the responsibility of the student. Withdrawals may be done online or in person at the Admissions & Records Office. It is the student’s responsibility to understand how a withdrawal will affect their academic records, academic standing, ability to repeat the course, eligibility for financial aid, athletic participation veterans’ educational benefits and other programs, services or benefits. Instructors have a responsibility to drop students under certain circumstances as identified below. Deadline dates for withdrawing from a class may be found on the student’s Schedule/Bill and in the online searchable schedule of classes in the CRN notes – click on the CRN to view notes. Students who do not officially withdraw by the stated deadlines will receive an evaluative grade (A-F, P or NP). Withdrawal after the final deadline may be permitted if it is determined that extenuating circumstances prevented a student from completing and withdrawing from a course. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. Supporting documentation will be required. Students should contact a counselor or the Admissions & Records Office to initiate a Petition to Change a Grade to W. A graded course that has been used to satisfy degree, certificate or transfer requirements will not be changed to a W. Students who, due to a severe illness or injury are unable to attend classes for a substantial length of time, should contact the Student Health Center regarding their eligibility for medical withdrawal. Verifiable documentation of circumstances will be required. A grade of “W” is not calculated in the grade point average (GPA). Courses that receive “W” grades are counted as an enrollment attempt and will affect a student’s ability to repeat the class. Students will be blocked from repeating any course in which they have already received three W, D, F or NP grades in any combination. See APPENDIX XIV – Course Repetition Policy for details. “W” grades are also counted in the determination of a student’s academic standing, and excessive “W”s will be cause for placing students on progress probation. Students are encouraged to consult a counselor regarding the full impact of “W” grades. Instructor-initiated drops: Instructors are required to drop by the census date any student who has never attended class or who has quit attending class. They may drop students who do not attend the first class meeting. The census date for each class is determined by the length of the class and may vary. Instructors may but are not required to, drop students after the census date for excessive absences. Absence is generally considered excessive if a student misses 1/9 or more of the total number of classes (2 weeks of a full –semester class); however, the nature of the class may require a stricter absence policy. Consult the class syllabus or instructor for more information. Withdrawing from semester-length classes: Students may withdraw from full semester-length classes through the end of the 14th week. A grade of “W” will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur between the class census date and the end of the 14th week. No grade will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur before the class census date. Students still enrolled after the end of the 14th week will receive a grade other than “W” on their academic record. The census date for each class is determined by the length of the class and may vary. Consult the class syllabus or instructor for more information. Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2015-2016 Withdrawing from short-term classes: Students may withdraw from short-term classes through 75% of the total number of class meetings. A grade of “W” will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur between the class census date and the 75% deadline. No grade will be posted to the academic record for withdrawals that occur before the class census date. Students still enrolled after 75% of class meetings will receive a grade other than “W” on their academic record. The census date for each class is determined by the length of the class and may vary. Consult the class syllabus or instructor for more information. Military Withdrawal Military withdrawal occurs when students who are members of an active or reserve United States military service receive orders compelling withdrawal from classes. Upon verification of orders, the appropriate withdrawal symbol may be assigned at any time after the period established by the governing board during which no notation is made on the permanent academic record for withdrawals. Students requesting military withdrawal must present a petition for withdrawal and a copy of the military orders, or other acceptable documentation, which verifies the dates and location of military assignment that compelled or compels withdrawal from classes. Military withdrawal may be requested at any time upon the student’s return to college. A grade of MW shall be recorded on the permanent academic record upon approval of petition for military withdrawal that occurs after the third week of full-semester length classes or 16% of total meetings of short-term classes. MW grades shall not be counted as one of the three enrollment attempts allowed to achieve a standard (passing) grade of C/P or better, or in the calculation of a student’s academic progress for the determination of academic standing. Course Repetition: Limitation on Enrollments & Withdrawals See APPENDIX XIV for details. 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. Students are permitted a total of three enrollment attempts to achieve a standard grade (defined as a passing grade of A, B, C, P or CR). 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, the course may not be taken again under this section. However, repetition may be allowable under special circumstances as defined in the appendices. An enrollment attempt is defined as any enrollment in a course that results in an evaluative (A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, CR, NC) or non-evaluative (W) grade. All of these grades are counted as enrollment attempts when determining a student’s eligibility to repeat a course. Withdrawals may not exceed three (3) times in the same class. Students who have withdrawn from the same class the maximum number of times will be required to petition for a fourth enrollment attempt. The fourth attempt, if authorized, must reflect a grade other than W. Petitions for Course Repetition are available in the Counseling Office. Consult APPENDIX XIV of this catalog for full policy and procedure information regarding course repetition. Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition See APPENDIX XVI for details. Students may petition to have a portion (maximum of 24 semester units) of previous college work disregarded in meeting academic requirements in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) when that work is not considered to be reflective of the student’s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate the completion of requirements necessary for an academic degree, certificate, or transfer. Academic renewal many not be applied to any course that has been used to satisfy associate degrees, certificate of achievement, IGETC or CSU-GE transfer general education breadth requirements. Consult APPENDIX XVI of this catalog for full policy and procedure information regarding academic renewal. Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission See APPENDIX XIII for details. Probation, dismissal, and readmission policies and procedures are designed to assist students in making progress toward realistic academic, career, and personal goals. Students who choose to enroll should be encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to realize their full potential. Limitations regarding programs, courses, and unit loads are consistent with the philosophy of providing an opportunity to succeed. Consult APPENDIX XIII at the end of this catalog for full policy and procedures for Probation, Dismissal and Readmission practices. Continuing and returning students who have been on progress or academic probation for two consecutive terms, or are dismissed, will lose their registration priority. Students who lose their registration priority due to their academic standing may appeal for reinstatement of that priority if they can demonstrate extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances, for this purpose, are defined as: • Accident • Illness • Other circumstances beyond the control of the student Extenuating circumstances must be supported by verifiable documentation; examples of such documentation include statements from doctors or hospitals, police or insurance accident reports. Approval will result in reinstatement of registration priority. 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. Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2015-2016 Credit By Examination Students may petition to receive credit by exam for external test scores such as the College Board (AP), CLEP and International Baccalaureate exams; by taking a locally administered exam (also referred to as “challenging a course”), or through an articulation agreement between the student’s high school and this college. All petitions for credit by exam must be initiated with a college counselor. A fee of $46.00 per unit is charged for all credit awarded through the credit by exam process, except that no fee is charged for credit awarded through a High School to College articulation program. Consult Section 8 of this catalog for complete information, policy and procedures for requesting credit by exam. Dean’s List Special recognition is accorded to full-time students who complete a program of letter-graded coursework with a 3.50 grade point or higher during a semester. Pass/No Pass units are not considered in the full- time requirement. These students are placed on the Dean’s List and accorded appropriate recognition, including a letter of commendation for academic distinction. Graduation with Honors The honors designation is placed in the commencement program of the graduate who has achieved an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.5. 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 instructor and school administration. Any student who has need to use electronic aids must secure the consent of the instructor. Students who need to use recording devices as an authorized disability accommodation must receive verification through campus Accessibility Coordination Center & Educational Support Services (ACCESS) and must provide this verification to the instructor prior to use. Use of the Internet PURPOSE OF THE INTERNET: The Internet access provided by Moorpark College is to be used to support the instructional process of students who are actively enrolled in a designated course. Non-educational, recreational and commercial uses of the Internet are prohibited on the Moorpark College network. RULES FOR USING THE INTERNET: Each student is responsible for ensuring that he or she uses the College provided Internet access in an effective, efficient, ethical and lawful manner.

CalWORKs CalWORKs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) is a government-funded program which provides support for college students receiving TANF (public assistance) who are studying for a vocational certificate or a degree in a variety of high demand occupational fields.

Some of the services the CalWORKs program provides are: • academic and career counseling • coordination and advocacy with your county welfare department • help with college costs • employment services (on/off campus workstudy) CalWORKs Eligibility Criteria Eligibility is determined by contacting your local Human Services Agency. Requirements for CalWORKs: • parent(s) of minor children • limited income • commitment to a welfare to work program that combines 20-30 (35 for couples) hours a week of school, based on eligibility or other approved activities For additional information about CalWORKs at Moorpark College, call (805) 553-4055 or visit the website at: www.moorparkcollege.edu/apply_and_enroll/calworks/index.shtml. Units of Credit Our district, consistent with other districts across the state, adheres to the Carnegie Unit Model for time spent in class and for time a student is expected to spend out of class in order to conduct required reading and homework. • For every lecture hour that a student spends in class each week, the Carnegie Unit Model calls for a student to spend two hours outside of class reviewing the material from lecture, reviewing notes, reading, and/or completing required homework. • In courses that are “hands-on” and include lab time incorporated into the instruction, such as a word processing course or automotive repair course, there is very little homework involved. Because of the “hands on” nature of this type of instruction, the required weekly hours for such a course or program are typically on-site at the colleges. The scheduled hours are posted within the printed college schedule for the given semester. In addition, every course and program offered by the three colleges is described in each of the respective college catalogs. The course and program descriptions clearly specify whether a course/program is straight lecture or lab based. • In cases where you have a CalWORKs participant with learning or physical disabilities, extra time may be needed in order to accommodate the special student success needs of such students. College counselors and/or Educational Assistance Center (EAC) personnel at each of the colleges will advise and/or assist County case workers with estimation of weekly schedules for any student with special needs. The chart below serves to illustrate the various configurations and weekly schedules that a student, depending on the unit load, may be required to follow in order to succeed with their course of study. VCCCD Based on Carnegie Unit Model Total Weekly Number of Hours Based on Number of Lecture Units Being Pursued by a Student Academic Units for In-Class Lecture Time Two-to-One Ratio of Hours for Outside Class Study Time, i.e, Reading Time, Homework Total Number of Weekly Hours that a CalWORKs Student Will be Actively Dedicated to Educational Program 1 Unit 2 3 2 Units 4 6 3 Units 6 9 4 Units 8 12 5 Units 10 15 6 Units 12 18 7 Units 14 21 8 Units 16 24 9 Units 18 27 10 Units 20 30 11 Units 22 33 12 Units 24 36 13 Units 26 39 14 Units 28 42 15 Units 30 45 In-Class Lab Formula (i.e. "Hands-on Training" Programs) 20 Lab- based Instructional Hours *20 All Work Typically Performed by Student In-Class, Lab, Shop, Unless Required Otherwise by Instructor or Program 20 Weekly Hours NOTE: The weekly hourly schedule described above does not include any time that a CalWORKs participant may be required to conduct extracurricular activities (i.e. field trips), student services orientations outside of class, counseling sessions, tutoring sessions, or travel time to and from campus, etc. Credit for acceptable activities will have to be determined as such by County personnel who, ideally, will discuss any related concerns with appropriate college staff. *There are some training programs, such as Film Television Media at Moorpark College that utilize both the straight lecture formula and the lab-based formula to deliver their instruction to students.

Most are traditional full term courses, but many are condensed in time to better match busy schedules.

Other courses can be completed in shorter time frames, including first eight weeks, last eight weeks and one or two day seminars. Courses are available mornings, afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday, as well as on weekends.

To match specific scheduling needs with the course offerings, students can consult each semester’s online Schedule of Classes. These schedules are available at www.moorparkcollege.edu.

We all have unique interests and goals. You may be attending Moorpark College for any number of reasons. Moorpark College offers courses in an array of disciplines that can prepare you for skilled trades, specialized careers, job advancement, and transfer to a four-year college or university to further your education. Your goals should have a direct influence on the courses and programs you choose to complete while at Moorpark College. It is important to keep your goals in mind at all times when selecting classes and programs and to remain informed about requirements specific to your goals. Planning is Critical You may already know what you want to accomplish while enrolled at Moorpark College or you may be unaware of your options and what is necessary to reach your goals. Counseling at Moorpark College is available to help you identify your goals and to create an educational plan that will help you achieve those goals. Counselors can also assist undecided students in clarifying what their goals are. It is to the student’s advantage to develop an Educational Plan as soon as possible. You should use DegreeWorks, available on the portal, to put together your own "first semester" plan. Then meet with a counselor to develop a Comprehensive Plan to take you all the way through to your educational goals. Work with DegreeWorks and then schedule a counseling appointment to start exploring the possibilities. What do you want to accomplish at Moorpark College? • Prepare to transfer to a four-year college or university while earning an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT). • Earn an Associate Degree in a specific major or in General Studies with an area of emphasis. • Gain skills for a job placement or advancement through a Certificate of Achievement or Proficiency Award. Proof of Your Success Moorpark College offers four distinct types of awards showing educational achievement. If you are hoping to apply skills and knowledge to the job market once you are finished at Moorpark College, having proof of your accomplishments can be an asset. • Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) are Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degrees and are awarded to students who successfully complete 60 semester units of required general education (either the CSU GE or IGETC for CSU pattern) and specific set of lower division major preparation coursework. Students with an ADT are guaranteed admission into the CSU system to a program deemed similar to that of the degree and will have the opportunity to complete their Bachelor’s Degree upon completion of the additional 60 units. • Associate Degrees are awards that are broader in scope than certificates because they require coursework in an array of disciplines to broaden your learning experience and strengthen your critical thinking skills. This is referred to as General Education. See a counselor to help determine which pattern you should follow. • Certificates of Achievement require concentrated study in a specific skill or knowledge area. • Proficiency Awards show that you have successfully completed one or more courses in a targeted career or skills area. Moorpark College - Graduation Requirements 2015-2016 Choose an Educational Goal Which Educational Program is the Right Fit For You? The information below shows the different opportunities available at Moorpark College to prepare you for your chosen career and the type of recognition you will receive for completing these programs. Schedule an appointment with a counselor to help you choose your specific educational goals. A list of all courses, awards and degrees offered at Moorpark College can be found on page 49. Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) to the CSU System California Community Colleges (CCC) are now offering Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs) to the California State University (CSU). These may include Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degrees. These degrees are designed to provide students with a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree by completing 60 CSU transferable semester units at the community college and 60 units at the CSU campus. Moorpark College currently offers 23 ADTs. Please meet with a counselor to see if one of these ADTs is appropriate for you and meets your transfer educational goal. Transfer to a 4-Year Institution Moorpark College offers students the opportunity to complete their Associate degree while completing courses that are required for transfer and apply toward their Bachelor’s Degree, whether that is a University of California (UC), California State University (CSU), Independent or out-of-state institutions. Associate Degree In this economy, it is advantageous to have a college degree. Most Associate degree majors at the College are applicable to the local job market. An Associate degree requires the completion of 60 units including courses in general education and courses in the chosen major. Moorpark College also offers General Studies degrees that allows students to choose an area of emphasis from a group of disciplines rather than a specific major. See page 49 for a complete list of requirements for earning an Associate degree. Certificate of Achievement Certificates of Achievement require Proficiency Award concentrated study in specific skill or knowledge areas. Certificates require more units and generally prove more depth than a proficiency award. Completion of a Certificate of Achievement makes a student eligible to participate in the spring graduation ceremony and is reflected on the student’s transcript. See page 58 for a complete list of requirements for earning a Certificate of Achievement. Proficiency Awards are given to students who have satisfactorily completed a course or a sequence of courses designed to lead them to specific types of employment or to updating their skills. These awards are not recorded on student transcripts. See page 59 for a complete list of requirements for earning a Proficiency Award.

The degrees are the results of Senate Bill 1440, a transfer bill that required the California Community Colleges to offer associate degrees for transfer in many of the most popular majors, and for the CSU to provide priority admission to California Community College students who have earned an AA-T or AS-T degree. These degrees can be completed in 60 CSU transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units) and include coursework in general education, major preparation and electives (if needed). Students who have completed an AA-T or AS-T and are admitted to a CSU major that has been deemed similar are guaranteed admission at junior standing, and the opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree with 60 additional semester (or 90 quarter) units. AA-T and AS-T degrees are recognized by both the California Community College and CSU systems as a measure of preparation and readiness for transfer to upper-division course work at the CSU. To obtain an AA-T or AS-T, the students must complete the following: 1. Choose an Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degree. • AA-T or AS-T in a specific major.

Moorpark College - Graduation Requirements 2015-2016 OTHER GRADUATION INFORMATION Graduation Requirements As authorized by the California Code of Regulations, Title 5 (Education) section 55063, the Ventura County Community College District Governing Board confers the Associate in Arts degree, the Associate in Science degree, Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T), The Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) and Certificates of Achievement on students who provide the required transcripts, meet the respective requirements as listed in the catalog, and who file with the appropriate college office an application for a degree and/or certificates. Graduation requirements for the Associate Degree area listed on page 51 of this catalog. Graduation requirements for the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) are listed on page 50. Graduation requirements for Certificates of Achievement are listed on page 58. Student Responsibility While counselors are available for assistance, the college expects every student to be familiar with graduation requirements and to assume the responsibility for their completion. Graduation Application Steps • Students must file a petition for a degree, certificate, and/or proficiency award through the Counseling Office • District Colleges offer three graduation dates: fall semester, spring semester, and summer term. • Graduation ceremonies are conducted at the end of the spring semester, refer to the schedule of classes for specific date and time. • Graduation petition deadline dates are locally announced at each College. 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. 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 and prior to fall 2009; CR and NC) 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. Some agencies define continuous enrollment as remaining in attendance both fall and spring semesters. Some will not accept selected academic record symbols (such as Ws). Those affected by more restrictive guidelines include students receiving financial aid and alien students. 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. Unit Transferability While all California community colleges have transfer agreements with various educational institutions, it is important for students to understand there are limits on the number and type of course credits a student can transfer. Each college develops courses and curriculum based on the expertise of its faculty and District standards. Each course is assigned a number of units ranging from 0.5 to 16 depending upon the course content. While the majority of our courses are articulated to transfer to the UC system and/or CSU system, there is a possibility that not all units for every course will transfer in their entirety to every transfer institution due to the receiving institution unit limitations. Students need to connect with a community college academic counselor as soon as possible, visit the Career Transfer Center, and regularly check www.Assist.org to learn whether their specific courses are transferable to an institution of choice. Taking more credits than needed to transfer to another institution can also limit an eligible student’s financial aid opportunities. By working closely with academic counselors, the financial aid office, and a receiving institution's support services, eligible students can maintain maximum levels of financial aid resources and transfer of credits. Course Substitution for Major and/or General Education Requirements Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major and/or general education 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 one or more courses in designated major, an area of emphasis, and/or in general education. The petition forms are available in the Counseling Department. Reciprocity for Local General Education Requirements Colleges shall apply courses taken at other regionally accredited colleges or universities toward general education requirements in the areas where the student would have received credit at the institution where they were originally taken or in the area where the college granting the degree places or meets our GE criteria/description or would place a comparable course, whichever best facilitates the student’s degree completion. Reciprocity for CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC Requirements Students who are required to complete CSU GE-Breath or IGETC for their particular degree, such as General studies Pattern III or Associate Degree for Transfer, or Certificate of Achievement in CSU GE-Breath or IGETC, shall have their courses evaluated for reciprocity according to the rules set forth by either CSU GE-Breadth in Executive Order (EO) 1065 or in the most current version of the IGETC Standards.

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 individual 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.

A Bachelor’s degree, sometimes called a baccalaureate degree, generally requires 4-5 years of study at a university. A Bachelor’s degree requires completion of both lower and upper division courses. Community colleges offer lower division courses, providing students the opportunity to complete general education and lower division major or pre-major coursework prior to transferring to a university. Once a student transfers, they will complete mainly upper division coursework in their major at the university. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) are the common baccalaureate degrees. BA degrees are most often awarded in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. The BS is more likely to be awarded in the sciences, math, engineering and for professional or technical fields of study. However, there are no absolute universal differences between these degrees and policies their award vary from college to college. 1. Explore your major options at websites such as assist.org, collegeboard.org, mymajors.com, collegeview.com and look at related career prospects at sites like www.bls.gov/oco, and labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov 2.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 ASSIST.ORG The Key to Transferring to the UC and CSU What is ASSIST? ASSIST is a computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the World Wide Web at www.assist.org. 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. The ASSIST acronym stands for Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer. 1. Go to www.assist.org. From the homepage, first select the CSU or UC campus you are planning to transfer to from the drop-down menu and the year of the agreement (pick the most current academic year available): Selected institution and academic year: 15-16California State University, Northridge 2. Next, select the community college where you are taking or have taken courses in your major Agreements with Other Campuses: From: Moorpark College 3. You will be given a choice of selecting an articulation agreement by major or by department. You always want to choose the option “By Major.” Once you have selected a major from the drop-down menu, the most current articulation agreement that exists between the two institutions you have selected will appear. This agreement will list all lower-division major preparation courses required by the university and the courses at your community college that will be accepted in fulfillment of these requirements. Available substitutions and additional admission information that applies specifically to that major may also be listed here. For some university courses there will be no articulated courses. 4. If your course doesn’t fulfill a requirement in your major, it may still satisfy General Education or at least count as elective units towards admission and graduation requirements. This information may be found on the lists appearing at the bottom of the page. Moorpark College Courses Applicable for Transfer • CSU Transferable Courses • CSU GE-Breadth Certification Courses • CSU US History, Constitution, and American Ideals Courses • IGETC for UC and CSU • UC Transferable Courses • UC Transfer Admission Eligibility Courses • C-ID Designators Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 Associate in Arts for transfer (AA-T) and Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) are degrees that are designed specifically for transfer to the California State University system. The degrees are the results of the Senate Bill 1440 and 440 (codified in Education Code 66745-66749) known as the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (STAR Act), a transfer bill that required the California Community Colleges to offer Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) in many of the most popular majors, and for the CSU to provide priority admission to California Community College (CCC) students who have earned an AA-T or AS-T degree. These degrees can be completed in 60 CSU transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units) and include coursework in general education, major preparation and/or electives. Students who have completed an AA-T or AS-T and are admitted to a CSU major that has been deemed similar are guaranteed admission at junior standing, and the opportunity to complete a baccalaureate degree with 60 additional semester (or 90 quarter) units. AA-T and AS-T degrees are recognized by both the California Community College and CSU systems as a measure of preparation and readiness for transfer to upper-division course work at the CSU. Below is the list of Moorpark College Associate Degrees for Transfer and to find out which CSU campuses accept each degree, go to www.adegreewithaguarantee.com Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to review their options for transfer and to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs. At the time of catalog publication, a student may earn an AA-T or AS-T at Moorpark College in the following majors: 1. Administration of Justice (AS-T) 2. Anthropology (AA-T) 3. Art History (AA-T) 4. Business Administration (AS-T) 5. Communication Studies (AA-T) 6. Early Childhood Education (AS-T) 7. Economics (AA-T) 8. English (AA-T) 9. Geography (AA-T) 10. Geology (AS-T) 11. History (AA-T) 12.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 COURSE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERING SYSTEM (C-ID) The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide numbering system independent from the course numbers assigned by local California community colleges. A C-ID number attached to a course signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by other California community colleges are comparable in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of their unique titles or local course number. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course bearing a C-ID number, for example COMM M01, students at Moorpark College can be assured that it will be accepted in lieu of a course bearing the C-ID COMM 110 designation at another community college. In other words, the C-ID designation can be used to identify comparable courses at different community colleges. However, students should always go to www.assist.org to confirm how each college’s course will be accepted at a particular four-year college or university for transfer credit. The C-ID numbering system is useful for students attending more than one community college and is applied to many of the transferable courses students need as preparation for transfer. Because these course requirements may change and because courses may be modified and qualified for or deleted from the C-ID database, students should always check with a counselor to determine how C-ID designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer. Below is the list of Moorpark College courses that have been approved by the C-ID program and given a C-ID designation.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 TRANSFER TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (CSU) The California State University (CSU) is now the largest university system in the country with the most diverse college student population. With its 23 campuses across the state, the CSU offers more than 1,800 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in over 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 460,000 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 can complete lower division preparation at Moorpark College and transfer to the campus of their choice without loss of units. Information on the major transfer fields for which students may prepare at Moorpark College is available in the Counseling Office or Center Transfer Center and on assist.org. Additional CSU information is also available at calstate.edu and csumentor.edu. California State University System Abbreviations for these campus names, used elsewhere in the Catalog, follow each campus name in parentheses: • Cal Poly Pomona (POM) • Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO) • California Maritime Academy (MA) • CSU Bakersfield (BAK) • CSU Channel Islands (CI) • CSU Chico (CH) • CSU Dominguez Hills (DH) • CSU East Bay (EB) • CSU Fresno (FRE) • CSU Fullerton (FUL) • CSU Long Beach (LB) • CSU Los Angeles (LA) • CSU Monterey Bay (MB) • CSU Northridge (NOR) • CSU Sacramento (SAC) • CSU San Bernardino (SB) • CSU San Marcos (SM) • CSU Stanislaus (STA) • Humboldt State (HUM) • San Diego State (SD) • San Francisco State (SF) • San Jose State (SJ) • Sonoma State (SON) Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 CSU MINIMUM TRANSFER ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS All the campuses of the California State University welcome applications from transfer students. If you complete college units after the summer following graduation from high school, you are considered a transfer student. The number of units you have completed at the time you enter a CSU determines the admission standards that will apply to your application. It is important to identify which admission requirements apply to you. A Moorpark College student who is planning to transfer to one of the campuses of the California State University (except the Maritime Academy) can satisfy the minimum admission criteria by meeting the following requirements: 1. TRANSFERRING WITH AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER (ADT) Students who receive a newly designed California Community College Associate Degree for Transfer (SB 1440) and meet the CSU minimum admission requirements are guaranteed admission with junior standing and are given priority admission consideration over all other transfer students when applying to a local campus and program that been deemed similar to the student’s community college area of emphasis. Once admitted, the student will only be required to complete 60 additional prescribed units to qualify for the similar baccalaureate's degree. To obtain an AA-T/AS-T degree, students must: • Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: 1. Certified completion of the California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE Breadth) pattern or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) for CSU pattern 2. Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major as detailed in the Course and Program Descriptions. 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). Even though a "pass-no-pass" is allowed, it is recommended that students complete their major courses with a letter grade • Earn a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is deemed eligible for transfer into a CSU program, some majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult the assist.org website and/or with a counselor for more information. • Complete requirements in Residency. For students in the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD), a minimum of 12 units must be completed in residency at the college granting the degree. For up-to-date information on the transfer associate degree, visit www.adegreewithaguarantee.com or visit the Counseling Department. NOTE: SB 1440 does not guarantee a student admission for a specified major or campus, but requires the California State University to grant a student priority admission consideration to the local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar to the transfer AA degree as determined by the California State University. With this degree, students may be given a GPA bump when applying to an impacted campus outside their local area or an impacted major that is deemed similar. 2. UPPER DIVISION TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS: To be considered as an upper division transfer, you must have completed a minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable coursework. Your overall grade point average must be at least 2.0. The GPA is calculated using all transferrable coursework attempted. In case of campuses or programs with high demands, a GPA of 2.00 may not be sufficient to be admitted. Within the transferable courses, there must be 30 semester units or 45 quarter units of general education coursework which includes oral communication (Area A1 of the CSU GE-Breadth), written communication (Area A2 of the CSU GE-Breadth), critical thinking (Area A3 of CSU GE-Breadth) and mathematics (Area B4 of the CSU GE-Breadth). These four sections of general education must be completed with a grade of C or better for each course. In addition, students must be in good standing at the last college or university attended (i.e. eligible to re-enroll at that college or university). 3. LOWER DIVISION TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS: If, at the time you will enter the CSU, you have completed less than 60 semester or 90 quarter units you are a lower-division transfer. Please be aware that most CSU campuses do not admit lower-division transfer students. Be sure to check with the specific CSU campus if you are considering transferring as a lower-division student.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 PREPARING TO TRANSFER TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY Students planning to transfer to one of the California State Universities must keep the following requirements in mind when selecting courses: 1. COMPLETION AND CERTIFICATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION (GE) IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED: The CSU requires completion of 48 units of general education for graduation of which up to 39 units can be transferred and certified by a California Community College. It is strongly recommended that students complete the 39 units of GE-Breadth courses as part of their minimum 60 units requirement for transfer as an upper division student. Certification waives additional lower division general education requirements that otherwise each CSU campus requires. It is important that students request certification prior to transfer. Certification is not automatic. Students can complete their GE by either of the following: A. Complete CSU GE-Breadth (pg. 75) B. Complete IGETC (pg. 83) 3. AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS REQUIREMENT: while not a part of GE, it is a graduation requirement at the CSU. The colleges of the VCCCD allow courses used to fulfill the American Institutions requirement to also satisfy requirements in area D of the CSU GE-Breadth or Area 4 of IGETC. 4. PREREQUISITE COURSES FOR THE MAJOR: Some lower division courses in the student’s major must be taken prior to transfer in order for the student to be admitted into a particular major. Some majors may also require concentration courses or additional support courses. For a complete list of major and supporting requirements at your CSU destination campus and their comparable courses at Moorpark College, go to www. assist.org. 5. SUPPLEMENTARY ADMISSION CRITERIA/IMPACTED MAJORS: In the CSU, an undergraduate major or campus is designated as impacted when it receives more eligible applicants than either the campus or the major can accommodate. In such instances, the CSU campuses have been authorized to use supplemental admission criteria to screen applicants to these majors and/ or campuses. Students interested in an impacted major or campus must apply for admission during the initial admission application filing period (Oct. 1 - Nov. 30 for fall admission) and should strive to make themselves as competitive as possible, both in course preparation and GPA. Assist.org will provide information about required coursework in impacted majors. For the most up-to-date information on campus impaction and impacted programs, please go to www.calstate.edu/SAS/ impactioninfo.shtml 6. TRANSFERABILITY OF COURSES: Only courses considered as appropriate for baccalaureate credit are transferable. In the VCCCD, these courses are indicated in their course descriptions by the notation “Transfer credit: CSU” IMPORTANT NOTE: Final official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended and/or external credit documentation must be submitted prior to CSU enrollment to verify that the student is eligible for admission. CSU campuses may rescind admission, delay admission, or not permit registration or attendance until receipt of final transcripts and/or external credit documentation. Reference: The CSU Admissions Handbook 2015-2016; www.calstate.edu/SAS/impactioninfo.shtml NOTE: These admission requirements are subject to change. Students should consult a counselor and/or the csumentor.edu website for most up-to-date transfer requirements.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY (CSU) GENERAL EDUCATION-BREADTH CERTIFICATION INFORMATION It is recommended that students planning to transfer to a California State University (CSU) complete their lower division general education prior to transfer by following the CSU GE-Breadth plan. Counselors can help students select courses that fulfill lower-division major requirements as well as general education. Students who fully complete the CSU GE-Breadth for Moorpark College will also be eligible to apply for a Certificate of Achievement in California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth). CSU GE is not appropriate for every major/college within the CSU. Check on www.assist.org or with your counselor or the Transfer Center for updated information. CERTIFICATION – After students complete the CSU GE-Breadth pattern, they must meet with a counselor in the Counseling Office to request certification. Without this “certification”, students may have additional lower-division general education requirements to fulfill after transfer that vary from campus to campus in the CSU. Associate Degrees for Transfer(ADTs) require full certification. Certification of the CSU General Education Breadth requirements may include courses completed at Moorpark College and previously completed courses from other regionally accredited institutions as well. Courses completed at other CSU campuses or at California community colleges must be certified in accordance with their General Education Patterns. It is the student's responsibility to provide an official transcript(s) from external institutions. Courses that have been completed at a regionally accredited institution other than a California community college or CSU will be included only under the following circumstances: 1. The student provides an official transcript, catalog description(s) and, if required, dated course outline(s); 2. The course is determined to be equivalent to a course in Moorpark College's CSU General Education pattern through the pass-along process in accordance with California State University Executive Orders (EO), the Academic Senate of the California Community Colleges (ASCCC) Resolution on Reciprocity and VCCCD AP 4100. PARTIAL 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. COURSE RESTRICTIONS – No course may be counted in more than one area. SCHOLARSHIP – A grade of C or better is required for each course completed in the oral communication (A1), written communication (A2), critical thinking (A3), and mathematics or quantitative reasoning (B4) of the CSU GE-Breadth. A “pass” or “P” is allowed, if the college’s catalog states that it is equivalent to a C or better. Although a “P” is permissible, it is highly recommended that students complete each of these four (4) courses with a letter grade (A, B or C). 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 “P” (Pass) grade for major courses. Some CSU campuses allow applicants who submit full or partial certification to double count courses for general education and major requirements. Some majors are highly selective and require completion of some, or all, of the required major preparation coursework prior to transfer. Consult a counselor or assist.org for more information. 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, in addition to GE requirements for graduation. Courses approved to satisfy this requirement are specified in appropriate areas. CSU campuses may permit double counting of courses taken to meet this requirement and GE- Breadth if the student is partially or fully certified. EXTERNAL CREDITS OR CREDIT BY EXAMINATION - Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams will be included in the CSU certification of general education requirements in accordance with the CSU Chancellor's Office policy. Students wishing to use units awarded for AP, IB, or CLEP should check with a Counselor or refer to the Credit by Examination section of this catalog.

It offers more than 750 majors and 150 disciplines, with more academic departments ranked in the top 10 nationally than at any other public or private university. The UC has established 10 campuses throughout the state of California and enrolls more than 233,000 students and employ more than 190,000 faculty and staff. All campuses have uniform minimum 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 counselor the particular advantages each campus has to offer. For more information, see universityofcalifornia.edu.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 GENERAL EDUCATION AND IGETC INFORMATION 2015-2016 What is IGETC? NOTE: the UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) on a “Pass/No Pass” (Credit/No Credit) basis of the 60 transferable is a series of courses that prospective transfer students attending units required for admission.

A student may be IGETC certified if they have completed coursework at a California Community College(s) without regard to current enrollment status or number of units accrued at a CCC. 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.

Questions regarding the use of IGETC for a student who has recently been enrolled at a CSU should be directed to the specific Advantages of completing IGETC include more flexibility in class campus the student wishes to attend. selection at the university and timely progress to degree completion. All UC and CSU campuses will accept the completed IGETC to satisfy Which Type of Student Should Follow IGETC all lower-division general education requirements. However, individual IGETC is most helpful to students who want to keep their options colleges or majors within a CSU or UC campus may not accept IGETC open - specifically, those who know they want to transfer but haven't for meeting general education. A list of those UC colleges and majors is yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. found on the following website: http://admission.universityofcalifornia. edu/counselors/files/transfer-admission-matrix.pdf.

Is Completion of the IGETC an Admission Requirement? IGETC is not an admission requirement. Completing it does not guarantee admission to the campus or program of choice. However, completing the lower-division breadth/general education requirements — whether through IGETC or the campus-specific requirements — may be considered by the campus in selecting among qualified applicants. NOTE: UC Berkeley’s College of Letter and Sciences requires full completion of the IGETC pattern as selection criteria for admission into the College. Partial Certification of IGETC Students who do not complete IGETC before transferring will be required to satisfy the specific lower-division general education/ breadth requirements of the UC school they plan to attend. However, California community colleges (CCC) may grant partial certification of IGETC to students who are missing no more than two requirements. Students submitting partial IGETC certification should complete the missing requirements at either UC or a California community college as designated by their department. Students who have been granted partial IGETC certification should not return to the community college for a full certification. Minimum Grade Requirement NOTE: Deficiencies in IGETC Areas 1 and/or 2 may indicate a student IGETC courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. A grade does not meet minimum transfer admission requirements. of credit or pass may be used if the community college's policy states that it is equivalent to a grade of C or better. It is important to note that some UC and CSU campuses have limitations on the number of pass/no pass courses that may be used to meet degree requirements. Please see your counselor. 84 Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2015-2016 Who Certifies the 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. 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 Another California Community College 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 assist.org. Courses with an approval date of fall 1991 may be applied to the IGETC if completed prior to fall 1991. Courses approved after fall 1991 may only be applied if completed on or after the approval date. Non-California Community College Courses Appropriate non-CCC general education courses in the humanities, mathematics, social sciences, and natural sciences that are completed at United States regionally accredited institutions should be routinely included in IGETC. However, care should be taken to carefully scrutinize course outlines for content, prerequisites, texts, units, and IGETC Area Standards (See Section 10.0 for Standards). Particular care should be taken when evaluating non-CCC courses to fulfill IGETC Area 1B, Critical Thinking and Composition. Few non- CCC second semester English Composition courses offer a course in Critical Thinking/English Composition. Guidelines to determine if a course is appropriate can be found in Section 10.1.2b. Coursework from all Other United States Regionally Accredited Institutions 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. There is no limitation on the number of courses completed at other United States regionally accredited institutions that can be included in the IGETC certification. 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), these can be from non-United States institution. Students with a substantial amount of foreign coursework at a non- United States regionally accredited institution should be encouraged to follow the CSU or UC campus specific general education pattern. Online/Distance Education/Telecourses • CCC Courses 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). Hybrid-delivery courses may meet the area criteria - see IGETC standards 10.1.3a for criteria • Non-CCC Courses Non-CCC Institutions online/distance education/telecourses may be used on IGETC. The same scrutiny should be applied when reviewing these courses as when reviewing other non-CCC courses. (See Section 5.2 of IGETC Standards for guidelines). • Area 1C: Oral Communication (CSU Only) Strictly online Oral Communication courses may not be used on IGETC Area 1C (CSU Only). However, hybrid-delivery courses may meet the area criteria. Credit by External Exams Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) exams can provide IGETC credit as listed on the AP and IB GE charts included in this catalog. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) cannot be used on IGETC. There is no limit on the number of external exams that can be applied to IGETC and may be used regardless of when the exam was taken. However, students who have earned credit from an external exam (AP/IB) should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both. Advanced Placement (AP) UC grants credit for College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations on which a student scores 3 or higher. Elective units awarded may be applied to UC graduation requirement for specific subjects and/or for general education/breadth requirements, as determined by each campus. To see how AP credits are used for IGETC certification see AP Chart on pages 92-93. International Baccalaureate (IB) A score of 5 or higher on Higher Level is required to grant credit for IGETC certification. An acceptable IB score for IGETC equates to either 3 semester or 4 quarter units for certification purposes To see how IB credits are used for IGETC certification see IB Chart on page 94.

Rules for use of AP scores on IGETC, CSU GE-Breadth and MC GE: 1. A score of 3, 4, or 5 is required to grant credit for GE certification. An acceptable AP score for IGETC equates to either 3 semester or 4 quarter units for certification purposes. 2. Each AP exam may be applied to one GE area as satisfying one course requirement, with the exception of Language other than English (LOTE). (See Section 10.6.3 of IGETC Standards for more information). 3. 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. 4. There is no equivalent AP exam for Critical Thinking/Composition (IGETC 1A/CSU GE A3) requirement. 5. Students earning scores of 3, 4, or 5 in the physical and biological science AP examinations earn credit toward the lecture and meet the laboratory activity requirement. 6. For IGETC: 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. 7. Actual AP transfer credit awarded for these and other AP exams for admission is determined by the CSU and UC. The UC Policy for AP credit can be found at http://admission.universityofcalifornia. edu/counselors/files/ap-satisfy-admission-and-igetc- req.pdf and the IGETC Standards, Policies and Procedures, version 1.5 (2014). 8.

Those few that do Moorpark College - Course Information 2015-2016 COURSE INFORMATION COURSE INFORMATION Offering of Courses as Described in the Catalog 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, area of emphasis, general education, or elective credit requirements for approved degree, certificate, or proficiency programs. The College will make every effort to regularly offer each of the credit courses listed under the Course and Program Descriptions. “Regularly offered” shall mean a frequency of not less than once in two years. The student who plans to satisfy the requirements for a particular academic goal — such as a Certificate of Achievement, an Associate Degree, and/or the completion of courses necessary to prepare for transfer into a baccalaureate major — must carefully plan a program of study to complete all requirements in a timely fashion. The student may consult with appropriate instructional divisions to determine the frequency of course offerings. Offering of Courses as Listed in the Schedule of Classes The College reserves the right to cancel any course section scheduled for any term if enrollment is insufficient. Course Discipline Abbreviations Courses listed below are offered as a regular part of established curricula or when demand warrants. The current class schedule should be consulted to determine the availability of specific courses. In the course number designations, the following subject or departmental title abbreviations are used: SUBJECT TITLE ACCT Accounting ANAT Anatomy ANPH Anatomy and Physiology ANSC Animal Science ANTH Anthropology ART Art ARTH Art History AST Astronomy BIOL Biology BIOT Biotechnology BOT Botany BUS Business CD Child Development CHEM Chemistry CHIN Chinese CHST Chicano Studies CIS Computer Information Systems CJ Criminal Justice CNSE Computer Networking Systems Engineering COL College Strategies COMM Communication Studies COUN Counseling CS Computer Science DANC Dance SUBJECT TITLE EATM Exotic Animal Training Management ECON Economics EDU Education ENGL English ENGR Engineering ENSC Environmental Science ESL English as a Second Language FILM Film Studies FREN French FTVM Film Television Media GEOG Geography GEOL Geology GERM German GIS Geographic Information Systems GR Graphics HED Health Education HIST History HIM Health Information Management HS Health Science HUM Humanities ICA Intercollegiate Athletics ITAL Italian SUBJECT TITLE JAPN Japanese JOUR Journalism KIN Kinesiology LS Learning Skills MATH Mathematics MICR Microbiology MM Multimedia MUS Music NS Nursing Science NTS Nutrition PHIL Philosophy PHOT Photography PHSC Physical Science PHSO Physiology PHTC Commercial Photography PHYS Physics POLS Political Science PSY Psychology RADT Radiologic Technology SOC Sociology SPAN Spanish THA Theatre Arts TTHA Technical Theatre WEXP Work Experience ZOO Zoology For convenience, the course descriptions in this catalog are arranged alphabetically according to subject grouping. Moorpark College - Course Information 2015-2016 Course Identification Course identification is comprised of the course discipline name or abbreviated name (prefix) and course number (for example, CJ M01). All course numbers for Moorpark College will have a leading M (for Moorpark) preceding the actual course number. Courses numbered 1 (one) through 9 (nine) will also have a leading zero preceding the actual number. Sometimes an alphabetic character is appended to the course identification (for example, ART M12A). Courses requiring a year (two semesters) in which to complete the full offering may be designated by number and letter (for example, ACCT M01A-M01B). The A section of the course is usually offered in the fall semester with the B section following in the spring; however, some year-sequence courses begin in the spring semester. The alphabetical designation in the course identification may also be used to designate the related topics of a year-long course (for example, CHEM M01A-M01B); in this instance, the A course would not be a prerequisite to the B course and/or subsequent courses. Semester Unit Credit The semester unit credit of the course is shown by a number(s) following the title of the course. As defined by Title 5, section 55002.5, the semester unit is based on three hours of work study; one lecture hour with two attendant hours of preparation or three hours of laboratory activity requiring special facilities or equipment. Most courses have fixed units; few have variable units. The unit value of each variable-unit course will be specified in the Schedule of Classes each term. In certain instances, to best serve students in summer term and in evening classes, the hours of instruction in some variable courses may be reduced and credit reduced proportionately. Prerequisites, Corequisites, Recommended Preparation Prerequisites -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. The prerequisite ensures that students will achieve skills or knowledge necessary for success in a course or program. For example, a course might require completion of an English course (or placement into English at a specific level) before the student may enroll in a Philosophy course that requires high level reading and writing skills. For example, a student enrolling in general biology is likely to have serious difficulty without adequate preparation in intermediate algebra and introduction to chemistry. Some prerequisites are required by state statute or regulation. Prerequisites on transferable courses are often determined by four- year institutions which may require specific prerequisites in order to award credit for these courses. Corequisite -a condition of enrollment consisting of a course which a student is required to take simultaneously in order to enroll and succeed in another course. The student acquires the necessary skills, concepts, and/or information in the corequisite course that supports success in the target course. Since the corequisite course provides skills or knowledge necessary for successful completion of another course, it is highly unlikely that the student can achieve a satisfactory grade in the course for which the corequisite is being established without the skills and knowledge provided in the corequisite course. Recommended Preparation -a condition of enrollment that a student is advised, but not required, to meet before or in conjunction with enrollment in a course or educational program. While encouraged to do so, students are not required to satisfy recommended preparation guidelines to enroll in a course. Course prerequisites, corequisites or recommended preparation are specified within course descriptions announced in the Catalog and the Schedule of Classes. Students are expected to have completed the prerequisite course with a satisfactory grade of C or better or P (Pass) and if applicable be enrolled in the corequisite required of all courses in which they enroll. Limitations on Course Enrollment Limitations -Conditions of enrollment that a student must meet before enrollment in a course or educational program. The college will only restrict enrollment in a course when the restriction is specifically required by statute or legislation, by prerequisites and/or corequisites, or by health and safety considerations. Other limitations can include facility limitations, faculty availability, funding limitations or other constraints imposed by code, regulations or contracts. The college can provide special registration assistance to the disabled or disadvantaged student. And, the college can enroll students in accordance with a priority system adopted by the local Board of Trustees (e.g., CD M12. Requires proof of TB clearance.). Course Identification Numbering System C-ID The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide numbering system independent from the course numbers assigned by local California community colleges. A C-ID number next to a course signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by California community colleges are comparable in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of their unique titles or local course number. (e.g., CD M02 C-ID: CDEV: 100) For further information, please refer to C-ID information on page 70 and http://www.c-id.net. Courses Designated as Repeatable A statement following the course description noting the repeatability of a course will specify the number of times an active participatory course or courses can be repeated. Students shall be permitted to enroll in no more than four semesters in an active participatory course In physical education, visual arts or performing arts that are "related In content" to other courses (Title 5, §55000(I)) of the courses that are similar In content. Courses are related in content when the courses have "similar primary educational activities in which skill levels or variations are separated into distinct courses with different student learning outcomes for each level or variation." Moorpark College has defined courses related in content as a "family of courses" for the following disciplines: Art, Dance, Kinesiology, Music and Theatre Arts. For more information refer to APPENDIX XIII. Co-designated, Cross-listed, or Same as Courses The College offers some of its courses as co-designated, cross-listed, or same-as between two or more disciplines. Where this occurs, all aspects of the co-designated courses are identical, except the course identifier (course discipline abbreviation) and possibly the course numbers and/or alpha characters following the discipline abbreviation, which may be identical or may differ. All other aspects are the same (title, units, hours, description, repeat capability, transferability, etc.). These courses are identified in the Course and Program Descriptions section of the Catalog. Courses which are co-designated or cross- referenced are identified by the phrase “Same as . . .” Moorpark College - Course Information 2015-2016 Courses Offered on a Pass/No Pass Basis Only By far, most of the courses offered by the college are offered for a letter grade. Students enrolled in these courses have the right to petition to be evaluated on a pass/no pass (P/NP) basis; interested students should consult the Academic Policies section of this Catalog. For courses that are offered exclusively on a P/NP basis (letter grade not possible) are so noted following the course description. All other courses without this notation are offered for a letter grade unless the student successfully petitions otherwise. Courses Not Applicable For Degree Credit The majority of courses offered by the College are applicable for degree credit and is noted with “Applies to Associate Degree” following the course description. Courses that are not applicable for degree credit are also noted following the course description with the notation of “Does NOT apply to Associate Degree”. Students enrolled in these courses will receive unit credit and will be awarded an academic record symbol on transcripts as defined in the Academic Policies section of this Catalog. However, the units earned in courses will not apply toward Proficiency Awards, Certificates of Achievement, or Associate degrees. Transfer Course Identification Courses offered by Moorpark College provide a wide selection of curricula that meet the requirements for most university majors. To assist students in planning their programs of study, all credit courses offered by Moorpark College are classified as follows: 1. No notation of transfer credit following the course description indicates that the course is not designed to transfer to public (and most independent) four-year colleges or universities. 2. The notation of transfer credit after the course description is followed by the abbreviation CSU meaning that the course will transfer to any of the 23 campuses of the California State University (Channel Islands, Northridge, etc.) and/or is followed by the abbreviation UC meaning that the course will transfer to any of the 10 campuses of the University of California (Santa Barbara, UCLA, etc.) 3. The notation of transfer credit is defined to mean that the course is acceptable for unit credit for admissions purposes and for credit towards a baccalaureate degree only. Students interested in the applicability of particular courses for use in satisfaction of major preparation requirements and/or general education requirements are advised to consult the transfer information section of the Catalog and a Moorpark College counselor. 4. The notation of credit limitations following the transfer credit statement indicates that one or more public four- year institutions impose some kind of limitation on the course. In this case, consult your counselor concerning the transferability of the course. Additional transfer information is available from the Counseling Office or the www.assist.org website. Field Trips Field trips are required activities for a number of courses in the College curriculum. For any such courses, it is intended that they be clearly identified in the College Catalog and the Schedule of Classes. For other courses, a field trip or an off-campus activity may be optional for the students enrolled. According to policy adopted by the College 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 during, or by reason of, the field trip or excursion. The College assumes no liability for students’ personal property. This includes course or related College activities, on campus, at off-campus facilities, and college-sponsored field trips.

COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY SEE COURSES IN PHOTOGRAPHY Program Purpose: Students who complete Communication Studies classes will be able to organize and convey their ideas in oral, written, and/or performance settings. Communication and speech is one of the most fundamental skills any student can acquire. Oral communication competence is the most highly prized and sought after skill in the professional world, and an indispensable requirement for succeeding in all academic disciplines. The Communication Studies Department offers both theoretical and practical classes. The College’s award-winning Forensics Team puts these skills into action each semester. Communication Studies is specifically focused on the study of human communication within such contexts as interpersonal relationships, small groups, organizations, and cultures. Topics of study vary accordingly and include such areas as language and meaning, nonverbal communication, conflict management, leadership, problem solving, and interviewing. Students examine the role that communication plays in managing their interactions in both personal and professional contexts. While there is some specific communication skill development in the introductory courses, most courses focus on understanding and analyzing the nature of human communication within the given context. Because communication skills are always listed as the most desirable quality that employers are looking for in applicants, the number of possible career paths is almost limitless. Some general areas where Communication Studies graduates are often employed include human relations, personnel, training and development, corporate communication, sales, public relations, management, and event planning. Students also use their Communication Studies degree as a foundation for continued graduate education in such areas as law, public administration, business administration, and even communication studies.

Students who have met the success score requirement and a passing score established for the assessment/readiness test will be eligible for program enrollment. Students who do not meet the minimum scores on either the Success Score or the assessment/readiness test will be required to complete remediation courses with a grade of C or better prior to admission into the program. ENROLLMENT PROCESS • Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite Courses (Step 2) with a grade of C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better, students may submit an application to the Health Sciences Department from August 1 to August 31 or January 3 to January 31 of each year. All official College and High School transcripts and supporting documentation, if applicable must be submitted with the application. • Applicants may submit scores from the Test of Essential Academic Skills V (TEAS V) taken up to 12 months prior to application. If the TEAS V has not been taken, then only qualified applicants will be invited by e-mail to take the TEAS V exam. • The multi-criteria selection process will be utilized to select the most qualified candidates for admission. In addition, all applicants meeting the minimum requirements have the oppor tunity to be randomly selected for admission. There is no waitlist. If an applicant has not been selected for admission within two years of application the applicant will need to reapply. • There will be alternates selected for each admission class to serve on standby for admission. If not admitted, these alternates will be first admissions into the next class. • The Health Sciences Department will contact applicants regarding acceptance/admission. • Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely (example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits which place clients at risk. • A student who is accepted to the nursing program may defer entry one time for up to one year due to extenuating circumstances. Incomplete required remediation, a positive background or drug screen, or missing TEAS test scores are not considered to be extenuating circumstances, and deferral is not allowed for these reasons. All deferral requests must be in writing addressed to the Health Sciences Coordinator and the decision to grant deferral is made by the Admissions Committee.

They will identify and analyze issues that governments face in developing domestic, foreign, and economic policies in relationship to current domestic and global issues. The discipline of Political Science is the study of how people are governed and how they govern themselves. It examines the process by which scarce resources are allocated to an expanding population with ever-increasing demands. The discipline looks at American politics as an experience in “self-government” and highlights how our system is different from the political systems developed by other countries. The study of Political Science also includes the examination of how diversity impacts American government. The discipline also seeks to understand how nations deal with each other, what kinds of issues are likely to separate them, and how they resolve international conflict. Political Science courses help prepare students for a variety of careers, such as pre-law and various careers in government and non-government settings at the federal, state or local levels.

These internships are closely related to the completion of department-specified course work and are advised by a faculty member in the discipline. The student’s work experience is matched to interests and training needs. In total, students can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester. Requirements: The type of on-the-job learning being pursued determines how many total units can be earned in any given semester. Students must complete 60 hours of unpaid work or 75 hours of paid work for every unit earned. Students are matched to appropriate internships and faculty advisors through the Career Transfer Center. In total, students can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester. Support Courses: The primary goal of the Work Experience/Internship Program is to maximize on-the-job learning for participating students. However, to truly be effective in a chosen field, students also need to develop techniques and skills that will help them search for jobs most effectively and to get the jobs they seek. To address these ongoing needs, several short, half-unit courses have been developed focusing on job and career readiness and strategies for career success once the job is obtained.

You should be familiar with these key words, terms and phrases since you will read or hear them throughout your college experience. A counselor is also available to answer any questions. Abbreviated Educational Plan: A plan that identifies the courses a new student will take in their first one or two semesters. An abbreviated educational plan may be developed by a student with or without the help of an academic counselor, and is not approved by a counselor. Abbreviated educational plans are required for all new non-exempt students; however, a comprehensive educational plan will also satisfy this requirement. Academic Year: Fall and Spring semesters, beginning with the start of the Fall term in August through the end of the Spring term in mid-May. Add: Formally adding a class(es) by completing the appropriate forms online or at the Admissions Office. Add Authorization Code: Four-digit code received from an instructor that allows student to register in a closed class online using MyVCCCD student portal. Adding a Closed Class: Students seeking entry to classes that are closed at the time they register are referred to the instructor. Advanced Placement (AP): A program in the United States and Canada created by the College Board offering college-level curriculum and examinations to high school students. Colleges often grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores above a certain number on the examinations.

Advisory/Recommended Preparation: A condition of enrollment that a student is advised but not required to meet before or in conjunction with enrollment in a course or educational program. The recommendation is made by faculty and is intended to ensure that students are adequately prepared to successfully complete a particular course. Area of Emphasis: Required In General Studies programs of study, an area of emphasis consists of 18 units in an area of concentration, with 6 of the 18 units coming from a single discipline to give the student more depth in their study. Articulation: Contractual agreements between two or more schools. Articulation agreements between Moorpark College and universities list the courses that transfer and that satisfy certain requirements. Assessment/Placement Test: Test given prior to registration for classes. The results are used to help students select appropriate classes. ASSIST (www.assist.org): ASSIST stands for Articulation System Stimulating Inter-institutional Student Transfer. It is a website that shows how course credits earned at one public California 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 provides the most accurate and up-to-date information about student transfer in California. Associate Degree: An associate degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by community colleges, junior colleges, technical colleges, and some bachelor’s degree-granting colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study usually lasting two years. • Associate in Arts (A.A.) • Associate in Science (A.S.)

To see the list of CLEP that Moorpark College accepts toward the Associate Degree, see page 91 of the catalog or schedule an appointment with a counselor. Comprehensive (Active) Educational Plan: A plan that identifies the courses a student must take to complete their informed program of study and reach their educational goals. The comprehensive educational plan is long enough to identify everything a student must do to achieve their educational goal. Comprehensive educational plans are required for all students who have completed 15 units of college coursework, and must be approved by an academic counselor during a counseling appointment.

Eligibility Cap: A Pell Grant eligible student has 6 years (12 full-time semesters) of total Pell Grant lifetime eligibility. All the years each student has received federal Pell grant will be counted toward the 6 years, regardless of when the student began receiving aid. A student becomes ineligible to receive a Pell grant as soon as reaching 600% of their Pell or the equivalent of 6 full time years. A first-time Federal Subsidized Student Loan borrower is no longer eligible for the Subsidized Student Loan program if he or she exceeds 150% of the published length necessary to graduate. In addition, a borrower reaching the 150% limit becomes ineligible for the interest subsidy benefits on all Federal Subsidized Loans disbursed to the borrower on or after July 1, 2013.

C. Investigative Procedure The Sexual Harassment Intake Facilitator or Associate Vice Chancellor of Human Resources will initiate a sexual harassment investigation that shall include, but may not be limited to: 1. Interviews with the complainant, the alleged harasser; and any other persons the investigator has reason to believe have relevant knowledge concerning the complaint.; 2. Review of the factual information gathered during the investigation to determine whether the alleged conduct occurred and whether such conduct constitutes harassment under this policy, based on the totality of the circumstances, including the nature of the verbal, physical, visual or sexual conduct, and the context in which the alleged incident(s) occurred; 3. Using the District Reporting Form as a guide, the Intake Facilitator will prepare a written report setting forth the results of the investigation.

Final disposition shall be reported back to the complainant and the alleged harasser in a timely manner and will also be filed with the State Chancellor’s office in Sacramento. D. Remedial Action 1. If it has been determined that a violation of this policy has occurred, prompt and effective corrective action shall be taken. 2. Reasonable steps shall be taken to protect the complainant from further harassment and/or retaliation. E. 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: 1. submission to the conduct is explicitly or implicitly made a term or a condition of an individual’s employment, academic status, or progress; 2. submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the individual is used as the basis of employment or academic decisions affecting the individual; 3. 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; 4. 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.

Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 APPENDIX V 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: 1. Sex discrimination as prohibited by Title IX of the Higher Education Amendments of 1972. 2. Financial aid determinations made at the college or District level. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Violation of published District rules, Board Policies, and Administrative Procedures, except as set forth below. This procedure does not apply to: 1. 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 Student Learning. 2. 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. 3. Appeals for residency determination.

Police citations (i.e. "tickets"); complaints about citations must be directed to the Campus Police. 6. Evaluation of the professional competence, qualifications, or job performance of a District employee. 7. 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. Definitions College Grievance Officer – The administrator in charge of student discipline and/or grievances, appointed by the College President, 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 – Days during which the District is in session and primary term classes are in session, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 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 20 days of the incident on which the grievance is based, or 20 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, and shall be shared with the Grievant. 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, or designee, 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. The College President, or designee, 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. The Grievance Officer shall coordinate all scheduling of hearings, and shall serve to assist all parties and the Grievance Hearing Committee to facilitate a full, fair and efficient resolution of the grievance. A quorum shall consist of all three members of the Committee. Grievance Hearing Committee Chair – The College President, or designee, shall appoint one member of the Grievance Hearing Committee to serve as the chair. The decision of the Grievance Hearing Committee Chair shall be final on all matters relating to the conduct of the hearing unless there is a vote by both other members of the Grievance Hearing Committee to the contrary. Time Limits – Any times specified in these procedures may be shortened or lengthened if there is mutual concurrence by all parties in writing. Hearing Process – Within 10 days following receipt of the formal written statement of the grievance and request for hearing, the College President or designee shall appoint a Grievance Hearing Committee as described above. The names of the Grievance Hearing Committee shall be forwarded to the Grievant and the Respondent. They will each have 5 days to exercise the right to a preemptory challenge of a single committee member. After 5 days the right to challenge the committee composition will be deemed waived. Within 10 days of confirmation, the Grievance Hearing Committee and the Grievance Officer shall meet in private and without the parties present to determine whether the written statement of the grievance presents sufficient grounds for a hearing. The determination of whether the Statement of Grievance presents sufficient grounds for a hearing shall be based on the following considerations: • The statement satisfies the definition of a grievance as set forth above; the statement contains facts which, if true, would constitute a grievance under these procedures; • The statement contains facts which, if true, would constitute a grievance under these procedures; • The grievant is a student, which under certain circumstances includes applicants and former students, and meets the definition of “grievant” as set forth in these procedures; • The grievant is personally and directly affected by the alleged grievance; • The grievance seeks a remedy which is within the authority of the hearing panel to recommend or the college president to grant; • The grievance was filed in a timely manner; • The grievance is not clearly frivolous, clearly without foundation, or clearly filed for purposes of harassment. If the grievance does not meet all of the above requirements, the Grievance Hearing Committee Chair shall notify the student in writing of the rejection of the request for a grievance hearing, together with the specific reasons for the rejection and the procedures for appeal. This notice will be provided within 5 days of the date the decision is made by the Grievance Hearing Committee. The student may appeal the Grievance Hearing Committee’s determination that the statement of grievance does not present a grievance as defined in these procedures by presenting his/her appeal in writing to the College President within 5 days of the date the student received that decision. The College President shall review the statement of grievance in accordance with the requirements for a grievance provided in these procedures, but shall not consider any other matters, including any facts alleged in the appeal that were not alleged in the original grievance. The College President’s decision whether or not to grant a grievance hearing shall be made within 10 days and shall be final and not subject to further appeal. If the statement of the grievance satisfies each of the requirements, the College Grievance Officer shall schedule a grievance hearing to begin within 30 days following the decision to grant a Grievance Hearing. All parties to the grievance shall be given at least 10 days’ notice of the date, time and place of the hearing. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 Before the hearing commences, the members of the Grievance Hearing Committee shall be provided with a copy of the grievance, the written response provided by the Respondent, and all applicable policies and administrative procedures. The Grievance Hearing Committee may request other documents as needed. A time limit on the amount of time provided for each party to present its case, or any rebuttal, may be set by the Grievance Hearing Committee. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply. All witnesses shall be bound by the Student Code of Conduct and Professional Codes of Ethics to present truthful evidence. Any witnesses not so bound will testify under oath, subject to the penalty of perjury. Any relevant evidence may be admitted at the discretion of the Grievance Hearing Committee Chair, in consultation with the College Grievance Officer and Grievance Hearing Committee. Hearsay evidence and written statements will be admissible, but will be insufficient, alone, to establish the allegations. The Grievance Hearing Committee Chair, in consultation with the Grievance Hearing Officer and Grievance Hearing Committee, 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 Grievance Hearing Committee Chair, in consultation with the Grievance Hearing Committee, shall further be responsible for instructing and questioning witnesses on behalf of the Grievance Hearing Committee, and for dismissing any persons who are disruptive or who fail to follow instructions. The Grievance Hearing Committee Chair, in consultation with the College Grievance Officer, shall have the final decision on all procedural questions concerning the hearing. The Grievance Hearing Committee shall conduct the hearing in accordance with established standards of administrative procedure. Unless the Grievance Hearing Committee determines to proceed otherwise, each party to the grievance shall be permitted to make an opening statement. Thereafter, the grievant shall make the first presentation, followed by the respondent. The grievant may present rebuttal evidence after the respondent completes presentation of his or her evidence. The burden shall be on the grievant to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the facts alleged are true and that a grievance has been established as presented in the written statement of the complaint. Both parties shall have the right to present statements, testimony, evidence, and witnesses. Each party shall have the right to be accompanied by a single advocate. The Grievance Hearing Committee may request legal assistance for the Committee itself through the College President. Any legal advisor provided to the Grievance Hearing Committee may be present during all testimony and deliberations in an advisory capacity to provide legal counsel but shall not be a member of the panel or vote with it. The grievant shall, in consultation with the College Grievance Officer, have the right to be served by a translator or qualified interpreter to ensure his/her full participation in the proceedings. Hearings shall be closed and confidential. No other persons except the Grievant and his/her representative and/or translator/interpreter, the Respondent and his/her representative, scheduled single witnesses, the College Grievance Officer, the Grievance Hearing Committee members, and the Committee’s legal advisor, if any, shall be present. Witnesses shall not be present at the hearing when not testifying, unless all parties and the Grievance Hearing Committee agree to the contrary. The rule of confidentiality shall prevail at all stages of the hearing. Moreover, the Grievance Hearing Committee members shall ensure that all hearings, deliberation, 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. The hearing shall be recorded by the District by electronic means such as audiotape, videotape, or by court reporting service and shall be the only recording made. 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.

APPENDIX VI 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. 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: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 4. 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 Center 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.) 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 Health Services Coordinator will notify the parent, guardian, spouse, or friend, if appropriate, and with the consent of the victim. Upon consent of the victim, the Health Services Coordinator 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). 5. 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 Health Services Coordinator 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. 6. 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. 7. List of Campus Services and Personnel Available to Assist with Incidents of Sexual Assault • Campus Police, (805) 378-1455 • Campus Health Center, (805) 378-1413 • Evening Attendant, (805) 378-1406 • Sexual Assault Intake Facilitators, Patricia Ewins (805) 378-1408 and Julius Sokenu (805) 378-1572 8. 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 9. 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. 10. 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 Alternatives – 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.

Upon notification of the Hearing Panel’s composition, the student and the District shall each be allowed one peremptory challenge. The College President, or designee, shall substitute the challenged member or members and replace them with another member of the panel pool to achieve the appropriate Hearing Panel composition. In the event the pool names are exhausted in any one category, further designees shall be submitted by the College President the Academic Senate President, and/or the Associated Students President. The chairperson may, by giving written notice to both parties, reschedule the hearing as necessary pending the submission of alternate designees. A quorum shall consist of all three members of the committee. Hearing Panel Chair – The College President, or designee, shall appoint one member of the Hearing Panel to serve as the chair. The decision of the Hearing Panel Chair shall be final on all matters relating to the conduct of the hearing unless there is a vote by both other members of the Hearing Panel to the contrary. Hearing Process – Prior to commencement of the hearing, the members of the hearing panel shall be provided with a copy of the accusation against the student and any written response provided by the student, and all applicable student due process policies and administrative procedures. The facts supporting the accusation shall be presented by a college representative who shall be the CSSO or designee. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 After consultations with the parties, in the interests of justice, a time limit on the amount of time provided for each party to present its case, or any rebuttal, may be set by the hearing panel. 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. If either party refuses to adhere to the instructions of the Hearing ePanel Chair the right to the hearing will be deemed waived. The Hearing Panel Chair shall have the final decision on all procedural questions concerning the hearing. Unless the Hearing Panel determines to proceed otherwise, the college representative and the student shall each be permitted to make an opening statement. Thereafter, the college representative shall make the first presentation, followed by the student. The college representative may present rebuttal evidence after the student completes his or her evidence. The burden shall be on the college representative to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the facts alleged are true. The Hearing Panel may request legal assistance for the Panel itself through the College President. Any legal advisor provided to the Hearing Panel may be present during the hearing and in any deliberations in an advisory capacity to provide legal counsel but shall not be a member of the panel or vote with it.

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. The hearing shall be recorded by the District by electronic means such as audiotape, videotape, or by court reporting service and shall be the only recording made. 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. A witness who refuses to be recorded shall not be considered to be unavailable. The Hearing Panel Chair shall, on the record, at the beginning of the hearing, ask all persons present to identify themselves by name, and thereafter shall ask witnesses to identify themselves by name. The recording shall remain the property of the District and shall remain in the custody of the District at all times, unless released to a professional transcribing service. The student may request a copy of the recording; however, any transcript of the recording requested by the student shall be provided at the student’s own expense. Following the close of the hearing, the Hearing Panel shall deliberate in closed session. These deliberations shall not be electronically recorded and the proceedings shall be confidential. Within 5 days following the close of the hearing, the hearing panel shall prepare and send to the College President a written decision. The decision shall include specific factual findings regarding the accusation, and shall include specific conclusions regarding whether any specific section of the Student Code of Conduct was violated. The decision shall also include a specific recommendation regarding the disciplinary action to be imposed, if any. The decision shall be based only on the record of the hearing, and not on any matters outside of that record. The record consists of the original accusation, the written response, if any, of the student, and the oral and written evidence produced at the hearing. The District shall maintain records of all Disciplinary Hearings in a secure location on District premises for a period of 7 years. College President’s Decision Long-Term Suspension – Within 15 days following receipt of the hearing panel’s recommended decision, the College President shall render a final written decision. The College President may accept, modify or reject the findings, decisions and recommendations of the hearing panel.

Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 Board of Trustees Decision The Board of Trustees shall consider any recommendation from the Chancellor for expulsion at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board after receipt of the recommended decision. The Board shall consider an expulsion recommendation in closed session, unless the student has requested that the matter be considered in a public meeting in accordance with these procedures. [Education Code Section 72122.] The student (and the parent or guardian if the student is a minor) shall be notified in writing, by certified mail, by personal service, or by such method of delivery as will establish receipt, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting, of the date, time, and place of the Board’s meeting. The student may, within 48 hours after receipt of the notice, request that the hearing be held as a public meeting. Even if a student has requested that the Board consider an expulsion recommendation in a public meeting, the Board will hold in closed session any discussion that might be in conflict with the right to privacy of any student other than the student requesting the public meeting. The Board may accept, modify or reject the findings, decisions and recommendations of the Chancellor. If the Board modifies or rejects the Chancellor’s recommendation, the Board shall review the record of the hearing, and shall, within 30 days or by the next regular meeting of the Board, whichever is later, prepare a new written decision which contains its specific factual findings and conclusions. The decision of the Board shall be final. The final action of the Board on the expulsion shall be taken at a public meeting, and the result of the action shall be a public record of the District. APPENDIX VIII STUDENTS RIGHT-TO-KNOW In compliance with the federal Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of the Ventura County Community College District to make available to all current and prospective students its student profiles of completion and transfer rates and crime awareness statistics. Student Right-to-Know Completion and Transfer Rates for Fall 2009 Cohort In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of our college district to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in Fall 2009, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. Their completion and transfer rates are below. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at the College nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period. Based upon the cohort defined above, a Completer is a student who attained a certificate or degree or became ‘transfer prepared’ during a three year period, from Fall 2009 to Spring 2012. Students who have completed 60 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better are considered ‘transfer-prepared.’ Students who transferred to another post-secondary institution, prior to attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming ‘transfer-prepared’ during a five semester period, from Spring 2010 to Spring 2012, are transfer students. This information can be accessed through the following website: http://srtk.cccco.edu/index.asp. MC OC VC Completion Rate 37.32% 25.61% 29.45% Transfer Rate 15.93% 11.36% 10.38% Crime Awareness Statistics The security of all members of the campus community is of vital concern to Moorpark College. We ask anyone who witnesses or is a victim of a crime to immediately report it to Campus Police at (805) 378-1455. Also, we ask everyone to support crime prevention by reporting possible unsafe conditions, such as darkened areas or poor lighting where criminal activity can take place. In compliance with the Campus Safety Act, the Campus Police Services department compiles annual crime statistics and prepares an Annual Safety Report. This report is available online by going to http://www. vcccd.edu/departments/police/ and clicking on the link in the left- hand column; or in hard copy format at the Campus Police station on each campus. The Ventura County Community College District’s Police Office reported the crimes to the right on the Moorpark College campus in 2014 (see chart to the right).

In accordance with the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, the colleges have established the following Standards of Progress. While maintaining our responsibility as custodians of public funds, VCCCD’s objective is to establish a SAP standard that is consistent with institutional goals and philosophies and at the same time sensitive to the needs of students. These standards apply to all students receiving financial aid from the following programs: • Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW): BOGW is a form of financial aid that waives enrollment fees for eligible California students, AB 1899 and AB 540 students. • Federal Pell Grant: Pell Grant program is an entitlement program that is based on financial eligibility and enrollment. • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG): FSEOG is a grant available to students who qualify for a Pell Grant. FSEOG is a campus-based program (limited funds). Awards are contingent on availability of funds and awarded to students with the greatest financial need. • Federal Direct Loans for Undergraduate Students: Federal Direct Loan Program: Moorpark and Ventura College participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. The U.S. Department of Education is the lender for the Direct Loan Program. The Direct Loan program offers loans at a low interest rate with repayment terms designed with students in mind. In most cases, you will not have to start repaying your loans until six months after you graduate and/or enroll less than half time. Direct Loans include Subsidized and Unsubsidized Student Loans and Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Loans must be repaid with interest so it is important to understand your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. Students are advised to visit his/her campus website for specific loan procedures. At this time, Oxnard College does not participate in the direct loan program. • Federal Work Study (FWS): FWS is a campus-based program that provides part-time employment (generally on campus) to undergraduate students. Awards are based on need and contingent on availability of funds. • Cal Grant B and Cal Grant C: Cal Grant recipients are selected by the California Student Aid Commission. To apply for the Cal Grant Program, you must submit the FAFSA or California Dream Application if AB 540 and a Cal Grant GPA Verification form by March 2nd. If you do not meet the March 2nd priority filing deadline, you may have a second chance to compete for a Cal Grant by filing the FAFSA or California Dream Application and GPA Verification form by September 2nd. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 1. Cal Grant B: for students who are from disadvantaged and low income families. These awards can be used for tuition, fees, and access costs at qualifying California schools whose programs are at least one year in length. There are two types of Cal Grant B awards: Entitlement and Competitive. 2. Cal Grant C: helps pay for tuition and training costs in vocational/technical programs not to exceed two years. I. Student and Program Eligibility Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress (34 Code of Federal Regulations Section 668.34). Students receiving financial aid must be enrolled in an eligible program of study, at their primary college, leading to an associate degree, an eligible vocational certificate, or a transfer program to a four-year college or university. A list of eligible programs can be found on the financial aid website of the student’s assigned primary college. II. Application Verification VCCCD is required to verify certain information provided by a student/ parent on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Application. Applications requiring review are flagged by the US Department of Education and California Student Aid Commission. In addition, VCCCD is required to select and verify any FAFSA that contains incorrect or discrepant information. [34 CFR 668.54(a)(3)]; [34 CFR 668.16(f)] III. Default or Overpayment on Title IV Funds Students who are in default on a student loan or owe a Title IV program overpayment are not eligible for federal aid. If a student owes an overpayment, the debt must be cleared before any federal aid will be disbursed. In the case of a student loan default, financial aid may be reinstated once the student makes satisfactory repayment arrangements with the holder of the loan and proof of such arrangements are submitted to the Financial Aid Office. IV. Return to Title IV (R2T4) Federal financial aid is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws from all courses, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. If a recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds withdraws from VCCCD after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance earned by the student must be determined. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned. If the student receives less Federal Student Aid than the amount earned, VCCCD offers a disbursement of the earned aid that was not received. This is called a Post-withdrawal disbursement. Withdrawal Date The withdrawal date established by VCCCD is the date used by the Financial Aid Office to determine the point in time that the student is considered to have withdrawn so the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed by the student can be determined. The percentage of Title IV aid earned is equal to the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment completed. Process for Calculation of Amount of Title IV Aid Earned by Student The amount of Title IV aid earned by the student is determined by multiplying the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the total of Title IV program aid disbursed plus the Title IV aid that could have been disbursed to the student or on the student’s behalf. If the day the student withdrew occurs when or before the student completed 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, the percentage earned is equal to the percentage of the payment period or period of enrollment that was completed. If the day the student withdrew occurs after the student has completed more than 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, the percentage earned is 100%. When a student fails to earn a passing grade in any of the classes, VCCCD must assume, for Title IV purposes that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless VCCCD can document that the student completed the period. Title IV Aid to be Returned: VCCCD and Student If the student receives more Federal Student Aid than the amount earned, VCCCD, the student, or both must return the unearned funds in a specified order as follows: 1. Unsubsidized Direct Stafford loans (other than PLUS loans). 2. Subsidized Direct Stafford loans. 3. Direct PLUS loans. 4. Federal Pell Grants for which a return of funds is required. 5. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) for which a return of funds is required. When a Return of Title IV funds is due, VCCCD and the student may both have a responsibility for returning funds. Funds that are not the responsibility of VCCCD to return must be returned by the student. VCCCD exercises its option to collect from the student any funds VCCCD is obligated to return, and such funds required will become an obligation on the student’s account for which the student will be responsible. This obligation is not reported to the Department of Education and simply remains as an obligation on the student’s VCCCD account. Services such as registration and transcripts will be prohibited until this obligation is satisfied. Unpaid balance will be reported to COTOP and state return refunds or lottery winnings may be used to offset this obligation. If a recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds withdraws from a school after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance earned by the student will be determined within 30 days after the student withdraws. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned to the Department of Education within 45 days following the date of notification sent to the student. If the obligation is not resolved within the 45 days of the notification, the unearned funds, will be reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) as an overpayment and the student will be ineligible for Title IV funds (such as Pell, FSEOG, Direct Loans and other federal aid) at any institution until this overpayment is resolved. Although a student may be eligible for a refund of fees from VCCCD the student may still be required to repay all or part of their Title IV aid. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 V. High School Diploma or Equivalent In order to receive Federal/State financial aid, a student MUST have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. The Department of Education considers the following to be equivalent to a high school diploma: • A General Education Development (GED) certificate • Passing of the California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) • Homeschool Completion - Students must contact Admissions and Records for guidance in obtaining verification of high school completion. • Ability to Benefit- Students must have been enrolled in an eligible Program of Study prior to July 1, 2012. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you do not meet any of the above criteria. VI. Attending Hours VCCCD will disburse financial aid based on attending hours. Therefore, the start date of your classes will dictate how much you will receive in each of your disbursement(s). If you are registered and meet all financial aid eligibility requirements for your disbursement AND: • You are registered and ALL of your classes begin on the first day of the semester, your first disbursement is scheduled and the specific date that disbursement begins is available on your portal after all charges are paid. • Your enrollment includes a combination of classes that start on the first day of the semester AND classes that start later in the semester, you may receive a partial first disbursement* of financial aid, if eligible, the first week of the semester. The remainder of the first disbursement will disburse approximately 7-10 days after your next class(es) begins. • You are ONLY enrolled in late start classes (meaning those that start after the first day of the semester), your financial aid disbursement(s)* will occur approximately 7-10 days after each late start class begins. VII. Freeze Date The Freeze Date, in financial aid terms, is the date that the Financial Aid Office will freeze enrollment for all financial aid applicants. On the freeze date, the financial aid system will lock a student’s enrollment (units). A student’s award will increase or decrease according to their enrollment. VIII. Student Educational Plan (SEP) It is the student’s responsibility to enroll in courses that count toward his or her program of study. Students are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with an academic counselor to create a personalized Student Educational Plan (SEP). The Financial Aid Office may, at any time, require a student to meet with an academic counselor and create a SEP. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) The VCCCD Financial Aid Offices establish Standards of Academic Progress (SAP), (34 Code of Federal Regulations Section 668.34), in accordance with federal regulations. To be eligible for financial aid, student must meet or exceed these standards. The standards apply to all financial aid recipients and to all college coursework taken including coursework taken from outside colleges if that coursework has been submitted and appears on your VCCCD transcript. Failure to maintain these standards may result in loss of financial aid eligibility. STANDARD MINIMUM REQUIREMENT Qualitative Standard A 2.00 minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) in all coursework attempted. Quantitative Standard A 70% minimum course completion of all coursework attempted. Maximum Time Frame Attempted units may not exceed 150% of the number of units required to complete your educational objective. Grades In determining SAP, grades of A, B, C, D, CR (Credit), or CRE (Credit by exam) are considered completed coursework. Grades of F, I (Incomplete), IP (In Progress), W (Withdrawal), MW (Military Withdrawal), NP (No Pass), and RD (Report Delayed) are not considered completed coursework. All grades are considered attempted units. Educational Goal Units Required to Complete Goal* Maximum Attempted Units (150%)* AA/AS 60 units 90 units Transfer 60 units 90 units Certificate of Achievement * * Maximum Time Frame Attempted units may not exceed 150% of the number of units required to complete your educational objective. *Program lengths vary. See college catalog for program length. Enrollment A student’s enrollment will be verified prior to each financial aid payment to determine eligibility for financial aid. ENROLLMENT STATUS UNITS Full time 12 or more units Three-quarter time 9 to 11.5 units Half-time 6 to 8.5 units Less Than Half-time .5 to 5.5 units Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 Maximum Time Frame A student must complete his/her educational goal within 150% of the program length. All coursework appearing on his/her VCCCD academic transcript will count toward Maximum Time Frame. A student who has exceeded this time frame and/or cannot mathematically finish their program within this time frame, and/or has attained a BA/BS (for student loans only), MA/MS (for student loans only), or beyond (for student loans only), will be placed on Suspension and may be required to submit a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form for evaluation. Evaluation SAP will be evaluated at the conclusion of each payment period (semester). Calculation includes cumulative number of units complete/transferred to VCCCD divided by the cumulative number of units attempted/transferred to VCCCD. SAP is met if a student is achieving a 2.00 cumulative GPA or better and the pace is equal to 70% or higher and the student has not reached 150% of the units required for certificate, degree, or transfer program. Warning When a student fails to achieve a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA or better and/or his/her pace is not equal or higher than 70% he/she will be placed on Warning. If a student is placed on Financial Aid Warning, financial aid is available during that period. At the end of the Warning period, a student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 and must also complete a minimum of 70% of all attempted units. Suspension of Eligibility When a student fails to achieve a minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA or better and his/her pace is not equal or higher than 70% the student will be placed on Suspension. If a student is placed on Suspension, he/she will no longer be eligible to receive federal financial aid until he/she Reinstates or successfully appeals. Boards of Governor’s Fee Waivers are not affected. A student who is Suspended has two options: Appeal by completing a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form or attend at his/her own expense until the student raises his/her cumulative grade-point average (GPA) to 2.00 and attains a 70% minimum course completion rate. Reinstatement is not an option for students who have exceeded Maximum Time Frame. Reinstatement A student Suspended for failing to meet SAP may regain eligibility by successfully appealing to the Financial Aid Office. A student may also regain eligibility by attending without receiving financial aid and attain the minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 and minimum cumulative course completion rate of 70% of all attempted coursework. It is a student’s responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office in writing when he/she has reinstated him/herself. Reinstatement is not an option for students who have exceeded Maximum Time Frame. Probation A student who successfully appeals will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. Financial aid is available during this Probation period. However, SAP will be evaluated at the end of the Probation term. During the Probation term, a student must complete 100% of all attempted units with a term GPA of 2.00 or better and must be following his/her approved Academic Plan. Failure to follow the terms of the appeal will result in Suspension of financial aid. Academic Plan An Academic Plan is required for a student on Probation. The Academic Plan must be developed by counseling to ensure that a student will meet SAP standards by a specified point in time. Program of Study A student must declare an eligible program of study from their Primary College, which is the school granting their degree. Only one major change can be applied to an appeal once an Academic Plan has been approved with the Financial Aid Office. ESL Courses ESL coursework does not count against remedial units; however, the units do count toward Maximum Time Frame. Academic progress in ESL courses will be counted when assessing both a student’s overall GPA and completion rate. Remedial Courses Funding for remedial course work is limited to a maximum of 30 units as identified in the college catalog. Repeated Coursework Federal regulations prevent the financial aid office from paying for a course that has been passed and repeated more than one time. In order for a repeated course to be counted towards a student’s enrollment status for financial aid purposes, a student may only repeat a previously passed course once (a total of two attempts). If a student enrolls in a previously repeated and passed course for a third time, this course will not count towards your enrollment for financial aid purposes. Repeated courses may be included if the student received a withdrawal (W) or failing grade. Courses may be repeated consistent with district academic standards, as identified in the college catalog. All repeated courses do affect Satisfactory Academic Progress calculations. Grades of A, B, C, D, P, CR (Credit), or CRE (Credit by exam) are considered passing grades. Suspension and Extension Appeals cannot override the federal regulation. If a student is in a class that is not eligible for payment, but the class is part of his/her approved Academic Plan, he/she will not be penalized for repeating the class, but he/she cannot receive financial aid for that class. Appeal Process A Student who has had his/her financial aid Suspended has the right to appeal by submitting a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form. Appeals must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office within the semester the student is requesting aid. Deadline dates vary. Students must: Complete the Satisfactory Progress Appeal form and submit it to the Financial Aid Office. Submit a letter (preferably typewritten), along with acceptable documentation explaining the circumstances or reasons for appealing. For example, how were the circumstances beyond the students control or why the student has exceeded Maximum Time Frame. Students should attach copies of letters from doctors, counselors, divorce decree, medical information related to illness, death of immediate family member, birth of a child, etc. The student must also explain how the circumstances have changed and/or what steps the student has taken to alleviate any obstacles. For example, meeting with academic counselor, tutoring, testing, reducing unit load, etc. If the student is appealing because of Maximum Timeframe, the student must explain why they need additional time to complete his/her goal. Incomplete appeals (those with no explanation and/or no educational plan attached) will be automatically denied. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 IX. Fraud A student who attempts to obtain financial aid fraudulently may be suspended or expelled from VCCCD, and from all financial aid program eligibility, as a result of formal student disciplinary action taken by the college. VCCCD is required to report such instances to local law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General. Restitution will be required of any financial aid received under fraud. Applications that are unusual or vary from normal activity may be flagged for further review. VCCCD is required to resolve any discrepancies or conflicting information with a student’s application. Any combination of the following circumstances may be considered a flag for potential fraud. These circumstances do not indicate guilt or innocence but merely provide warning signs of potential financial aid fraud. • Out-of-district address • Distance Education courses only • Random course patterns/enrollment not consistent with declared educational objective • Failure to complete orientation and assessment • Failure to provide accurate information on admissions application regarding prior colleges attended APPENDIX X STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES The Governing Board hereby establishes a program of student health supervision and services. This action is taken pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Sections 54702 through 54742. The program provides for the operation of student health centers wherein enrolled students of the district’s colleges and other persons expressly authorized by the Governing Board may be diagnosed and treated. The Governing Board will annually determine the amount of the fee to be assessed for such services. A plan for Student Health Center in the Ventura County Community College District follows (in compliance with CAC, Title 5, Section 54710). This plan is facilitated on each campus through the Dean of Student Services and the coordinator of Student Health Center. The district may also employ health aides, physicians, and other health workers as provided by law, budget and need. Student Campus Accident Procedures College-related student accidents need to be reported within 72 hours of occurrence. It is the student’s responsibility to report the accident to an instructor, college trainer, or directly to Student Health Center. All student accident reports and insurance claims are processed through the Student Health Center. The Student Health Center will help students complete their accident report, initiate an insurance claim, and will answer any questions. For further information contact: Student Health Center at (805) 378-1413. Health Protection and Environmental Health & Safety The Health Coordinator works toward the prevention of illness, protects the college environment from diseases, and attempts to avoid costly remedial medical interventions. Health hazards as they appear on accident reports or by observation are reported for corrective action. Immunizations (e.g., tetanus, flu) are administered. Coordination with County Public Health Department is on a regular basis. TB testing is routinely done. Appraisal and Limited Treatment The Student Health Center provides quality on-campus outpatient services to all registered students and other persons expressly authorized by the Governing Board. Health education and health counseling is a constant theme which extends throughout the system. Referrals The Health Coordinator provides liaison between students, college, and community health resources and continually seeks to improve channels of communication. Health and Accident Insurance Plans The Student Health Fee provides for low-cost, yet significant, student accident insurance for all students at no cost to the district. The Health Center reports and maintains accident records of all student injuries and attempts to advise and eliminate casual conditions, whenever possible. APPENDIX XI ACADEMIC FREEDOM The primary purpose of a college is to promote the exploration of ideas and the discovery and dissemination of knowledge and understanding. The College is to be an open forum for ideas and issues to be raised, challenged, and tested. Academic freedom is the cornerstone of a college. Intellectual ferment is absolutely dependent upon academic and intellectual freedom. Freedom in teaching is fundamental for the protection of both faculty and students in teaching and learning. Freedom in research is fundamental to the advancement of knowledge. The 1940 American Association of University Professors (A.A.U.P.) Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure with 1970 Interpretative notes from the A.A.U.P. provide a nationally recognized definition of academic freedom, its protections and its responsibilities. (a) Academic employees are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be conscientious regarding teaching subject matter which has no relation to their subject. (b) Academic employees are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of results, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties, but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution. (c) Academic employees are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and institution by their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, should show respect for the opinions of others, and indicate that they are not speaking for the institution. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 It is the policy of Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) At a minimum the colleges and District shall provide students, that all academic employees, regardless of their employment status, as mandated and except as exempted, with of the following 3SP should enjoy the privileges and exercise the responsibilities inherent services: in academic freedom as defined by the AAUP statement. In addition, all VCCCD employees enjoy the same protection and responsibilities within the context of their obligations. Furthermore, faculty tenure constitutes the strongest procedural safeguard of academic freedom and individual responsibility, and as such, is essential for the maintenance of intellectual liberty and high standards in teaching and scholarship. Reference: BP 4030 Academic Freedom, Title 5, § 51023; Accreditation Standard II.A.7. The intent of this statement is not to discourage what is controversial. Controversy is at the heart of free academic inquiry which the entire statement is designed to focus. The passage serves to underscore the need for teachers to avoid persistently intruding material which has no relation to the subject. APPENDIX XII STUDENT SUCCESS AND SUPPORT PROGRAM RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Student Success and Support Program (3SP) in the Ventura County Community College District recognize that student success is the responsibility of the District’s three colleges and its students. The program creates a framework for the provision of core matriculation services, including orientation, assessment and placement, and counseling/advising/educational planning services that are intended to increase student access and academic success. 3SP services also include the provision of intervention and follow-up services to academically at-risk students such as those that are on academic or progress probation, or are otherwise identified as at-risk students. College and District Responsibilities The District and its colleges shall develop processes to ensure that information regarding its matriculation policies under the Student Success and Support Program are accessible and available to all students during or prior to enrollment, and are included in class schedules, catalogs or other appropriate communications describing student rights and responsibilities under the 3SP. The colleges shall make reasonable effort to avoid duplication of services that are funded through the 3SP or funded through other programs. Each of the District’s colleges shall develop internal processes for the delivery of 3SP services to students. Appropriate college and District staff shall collaborate in the development of such processes to ensure accurate data collection and MIS reporting. No 3SP process will subject a person to unlawful discrimination as prohibited by subchapter 5 (commencing with section 59300) of chapter 10. Failure of a nonexempt student to meet the requirements of the 3SP may result in a hold placed on registration or loss of registration priority. a. Orientation (via online or in-person delivery modes or a combination thereof); b. Assessment through placement tests, evaluation of external course work, evaluation of other colleges’ assessment test scores, evaluation of other types of test instruments and scores, and other multiple measures; c.

Other issues, policies, and procedures the college determines as necessary to provide a comprehensive orientation to students. Assessment (Title 5, Section 55522) Each college will provide assessment and placement services using multiple measures that include, but are no limited to: 1. Assessment test instruments for use in placing students in English, mathematics or English as a Second Language (ESL) courses that are approved by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office and appropriately validated for the college; 2. Self-assessment instruments; 3. Evaluation of college coursework, assessment scores and placement recommendations from other colleges and universities; 4. Evaluation of other test scores including but not limited to AP, SAT, IB tests and EAP results. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 No assessment test process shall be used in a manner or for a purpose other than that for which it was developed or has been otherwise validated; assessments tests including the TOEFL, in conjunction with multiple measures may be used to determine the admission of minors as special part-time or full-time students, and of international students. No assessment test, method, or procedure shall be used to exclude students from any particular course or educational program, except that districts may establish appropriate prerequisites pursuant to sections 55002 and 55003. The colleges may use an assessment test to select students for its nursing program, provided that: 1. They comply with all other provisions of this subchapter; 2. The assessment test or other measures are used in conjunction with other assessment tests, methods, or procedures to select students for enrollment in the nursing program; and 3. The Chancellor has determined that the assessment test predicts likelihood of success in nursing programs, has approved use of the assessment test for that purpose and has established statewide proficiency cut-off scores for that test pursuant to Education Code section 78261. Counseling, Advising and Other Educational Planning Services Each college shall provide counseling, advising and educational planning services which include, but are not limited to: 1. Assistance to students in the identification of an education and career goal and course of study, including, but not limited to, preparation for transfer, associate degrees, and career technical education certificates and licenses; 2.

Ensure that all nonexempt students who are enrolled in non-degreeapplicable basic skills courses participate in counseling, advising, or other education planning services. Notifications: Requirements of the Student Success and Support Program and Loss of Eigibility for the Board of Governors’ Fee Waiver The District and its colleges notify students who are at risk of losing their enrollment priority due to their academic standing or due to exceeding the maximum unit limit as established under Board Policy and Administrative Procedure 5055. The District and its colleges will, beginning spring 2015, notify students about the requirements of the Student Success and Support Program including notifying students who are at risk of losing Board of Governors Fee Waiver eligibility due to their being placed on academic or progress probation for two consecutive terms. The colleges will ensure that, within a reasonable time of receiving such notice, students shall have the opportunity to receive appropriate counseling, advising, or other educational planning services in order to provide students with an opportunity to maintain enrollment priority and fee waiver eligibility. Student Education Plan Each college shall provide students with an opportunity to develop student education plans that either: 1. Abbreviated. Abbreviated student education plans are one to two terms in length, designed to meet the immediate needs of entering students and those for whom a comprehensive plan is not appropriate; or 2. Comprehensive. The comprehensive student education plan is tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of the student and may include other elements to satisfy participation requirements for programs such as EOPS, DSPS, CalWORKS, veterans’ education benefits, athletics. It will address a student’s education goal and program of study requirements, applicable course prerequisites or co-requisites, assessment for placement results, potential transfer institutions, the need for basic skills, and the need for referral to other support and instructional services as appropriate; and will include the steps the student needs to take on their educational path to complete their identified course of study. The planning process will take into account a student’s interests, skills, and career goals. Each college shall develop processes to ensure that all continuing, nonexempt students have selected an educational goal, program of study and have developed a comprehensive student educational plan once they have completed 15 units of degree-applicable college coursework. The District and its colleges will ensure that comprehensive educational plans are accessible and recorded in electronic form, and will make a reasonable effort to not duplicate educational planning processes for students participating in special programs. If a student believes the District or college has failed to make good faith efforts to develop a plan, has failed to provide programs and services specified in the student education plan, or has otherwise violated the requirements of this section, the student may file a complaint pursuant to section 55534(a). See the section on Violations and Appeals further down in this document for complaint procedures. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 Accommodations a.

Completion of the challenge procedure shall be deemed to be an effort at information resolution of the complaint under section 59327. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 APPENDIX XIII PROBATION, DISMISSAL, AND READMISSION Probation, dismissal, and readmission policies and procedures are designed to assist students in making progress toward realistic academic, career, and personal goals. Students applying for Veteran’s educational benefits should refer to the Veteran’s section in this Catalog for information on unsatisfactory progress and eligibility to collect educational benefits, and see below. Students will lose registration priority who are on two consecutive semesters of academic or progress probation, or any combination of the two. Two consecutive semesters means two primary semesters, Fall and Spring, with no more than a one-semester stop-out between them. Effective Fall 2016 students will also lose their eligibility for a BOGW Fee Waiver who are on two consecutive semesters of academic or progress probation, or any combination of the two. Two consecutive semesters means two primary semesters, Fall and Spring, with no more than a one-semester stop-out between them. Students who lose registration priority and/or BOGW eligibility may appeal the loss based on documentable extenuating circumstances. See APPENDIX XV-Enrollment Priorities for more information. 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, NC, and NP are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). NOTE: probationary status is computed using courses taken since fall 1981. Courses taken prior to fall 1981 are not in the computer data file and may not be included in the calculation of probation. This may alter a student’s probationary status. Special note to students claiming veteran’s benefits – UNSATISFACTORY PROGRESS: For the purpose of certification for educational benefits, academic probation is defined as the failure to complete a minimum of 50% of the total units attempted, and/ or to maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average. Unsatisfactory progress occurs when a veteran has been placed on academic probation for two consecutive semesters. Unsatisfactory progress must be reported to the Veteran’s Administration, and the veteran may not be certified for future educational benefits. Any veteran placed on unsatisfactory progress must consult the campus Veteran’s Office and receive academic counseling before educational benefits can be reinstated. A student transferring to a college of the Ventura County Community College District is subject to the same probation and dismissal policies as students of this college district. NOTIFICATION OF PROBATION: Each college in this 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. The student grade report, available at my.vcccd.edu, specifies the student status for both academic and progress categories as either “good standing” or “probation.” A student placed on probation is, as a condition of continuing enrollment, to receive individual counseling, including the regulation of his or her academic program. Each student shall also receive any other support services available to help the student overcome any academic difficulties. 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, NC, 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, NC, and 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. 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. 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. APPENDIX XIV COURSE REPETITION POLICY A combination of withdrawals and graded attempts may not exceed three (3) times in the same course. General Guidelines for Repetition of Credit Courses Pursuant to Title 5, students are permitted three enrollment attempts to achieve a standard (passing) grade. Students may be permitted, under special circumstances, to repeat non-repeatable credit courses in which standard (passing) grades have been awarded. Students may also repeat credit courses that are designated as repeatable in the colleges’ catalogs providing the maximum number of allowed enrollments per course or set of courses is not exceeded. Moorpark College - Appendices 2015-2016 All enrollment attempts that result in an evaluative or non-evaluative grade on a student’s permanent record are counted for purposes of this administrative procedure and pursuant to Title 5, Section 55023. • Evaluative symbols are defined as standard passing grades of A, B, C or P/CR; and substandard grades of D, F and NP/NC. • Non-evaluative symbols are defined as W - Military withdrawals are not counted as an enrollment attempt for purposes of this administrative procedure. • 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 all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history. Students who have attempted the same course with any combination of withdrawals and graded attempts the maximum number of times may be eligible to petition a fourth enrollment attempt. The fourth attempt, if authorized, must reflect a grade other than W if the student has already received three W grades in the same class. The petition for this purpose, Petition for Course Repetition, is available in the Counseling Office and must be completed with a counselor. 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. The district may permit enrollment in credit courses beyond the limits set forth in BP 4225, AP 4225 and AP 4227 based upon an approved petition to repeat, and providing apportionment is not claimed for such additional enrollments. The district will develop and implement a mechanism for the proper monitoring of course repetitions. Course Repetition to Alleviate a Substandard Grade 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 (see AP 4227). Students are permitted a total of three enrollment attempts to achieve a standard (passing) 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. However, repetition may be allowable under special circumstances as defined below and in AP 4227. 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. The first two substandard grades will be excluded from the student’s grade point average calculations if the student enrolls in and completes the class two or more times. The student’s permanent record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. If a student repeats a repeatable course in which a substandard grade has been recorded, the substandard grade and credit may be disregarded provided that no additional repetitions are permitted beyond those limits specified in 55041(c)(6). No more than two substandard grades may be alleviated pursuant to this section. 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. Petitioning a Fourth Attempt: a student who has taken a class three times and received a substandard grade each time may petition to take the class again. The petition must state verifiable extenuating circumstances that affected the student’s past performance in the class and/or additional steps the student has taken to prepare to succeed in the petitioned course, and must be accompanied by verifiable documentation of circumstances. For purposes of this section, extenuating circumstances are verifiable cases of illness, accident or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. Course Repetition Due to Significant Lapse of Time Students may petition only one time to repeat a course in which a standard (passing) grade has already been awarded providing that the following conditions have been met: The course was successfully completed more than three years prior, and: a. the district has established a recency prerequisite for the course, or b. another institution of higher education to which the student seeks to transfer has established a recency requirement which the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating the course in question. A student may petition to repeat a course where less than 3 years has elapsed if documents show that repetition is necessary for the student’s transfer to the institution of higher education. If it is determined that a student needs to repeat an repeatable active participatory course in physical education/kinesiology or visual or performing arts, or an active participatory experience course that is related in content (defined as a “family” of courses”), that repetition shall count toward the maximum number of enrollments that are allowed, except that if the student has already exhausted the allowable course limitation, one additional repetition can be permitted due to lapse of time. When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, both grades and credits will be included in the calculations of the grade point average. All coursework will remain legible on the student’s permanent academic record. Course Repetition Due to Extenuating Circumstances Students may petition to repeat a course on the basis that the previous grade (whether substandard or passing) was, at least in part, the result of extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illness, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. 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 provided that no more than two substandard grades are excluded by course repetition. All coursework will remain legible on the student’s permanent academic record. Moorpark College - Index 2015-2016 Repetition of 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. All coursework will remain legible on the student’s permanent academic record. Course Repetition Allowed Absent Substandard Academic Work Under special circumstances, students may repeat courses in which a C/P or better grade was earned, or regardless of whether substandard academic work has been recorded, as noted below: Legally Mandated Training Requirement Students are allowed to repeat a course when repetition is necessary to enable that student to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of continued volunteer or paid employment. Students may repeat such courses any number of times, even if they received a grade of C/P or better; however, 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 certify the legally mandated training requirement for their continued 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. Significant Change in Industry or Licensure Standards Students may petition to repeat a course needed for employment or licensure because of a significant change in industry or licensure standards. Students may take these courses any number of times. The petition for this purpose is available in the Admissions and Records Office; petition will require substantiating verifiable documentation or independent verification. Courses Designated as Repeatable Courses that can be repeated will be so designated in the colleges’ catalogs. The three types of courses that may be designated as repeatable: 1. Repetition of a course Is necessary to meet the major requirements of a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) for completion of a bachelor’s degree (supporting documentation required). 2. Intercollegiate Athletics course. 3. Intercollegiate academic or vocational competition course. Courses designated as repeatable shall be identified in the course descriptions in the college catalog. The district will devise and implement a mechanism for the proper monitoring of such repetitions, including the determination and certification that each identified course meets the criteria specified in Title 5 Section 55041, 58161. Students may enroll in courses that have been designated as repeatable for not more than four semesters. For purposes of this administrative procedure, summer or other intersessions count toward the maximum number of repetitions allowed. For the purpose of this administrative procedure withdrawals count toward the maximum number of repetitions allowed. When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, the grade received each time will be included in the calculations of grade point average. Where the colleges establish levels of courses that are related in content (e.g. which families of courses that consist of similar primary educational activities in which skill levels or variations are separated into distinct courses with different student learning outcomes for each level or variation) enrollment is limited to a maximum of four times Inclusive of “W” grades. The attendance of students in credit activity courses may be claimed for apportionment for a maximum of four semester enrollments inclusive of summer and other intersessions. This limitation applies even if the student receives a substandard grade or “W” grade for one or more of the enrollments in such a course or petitions for repetition due to special circumstances as defined herein and by Title 5 Section 55045. Repetition of Special Classes for Students with Disabilities 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 achievement of that goal. Moorpark College - Index 2015-2016 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) and 55252. Occupational Work Experience and General Work Experience are Types of Cooperative Work Experience (§ 55252.) Occupational work experience “is supervised employment extending classroom occupational learning at an on-the-job learning station relating to the students’ educational or occupational goal.” (§ 55252(b).) General work experience, on the other hand, does not have to be related to the students’ education goals but is supervised employment that helps the student acquire “desirable work habits, attitudes and career awareness.” (§ 55252(a).) APPENDIX XV ENROLLMENT PRIORITIES The Ventura County Community College District assigns enrollment priority to all new, continuing, and returning students in accordance with the California Education Code and Title 5 Administrative Code. Enrollment priority is also known as registration priority. NEW STUDENTS rreceive enrollment priority after completing orientation, assessment and a student educational plan. These may be accomplished in different ways including, but not limited to, completing the online orientation or attending an in-person session; taking the assessment tests, submitting transcripts of other college work completed and/or other test scores for evaluation; completing a one or two-semester “abbreviated” educational plan, or developing a comprehensive educational plan that is approved by an academic counselor. • Exemption from a service: New students have the right to request an exemption from orientation, assessment, and educational planning activities based on criteria identified below; students who claim exemption will not be eligible for enrollment priority. The exemption criteria are as follows - Student has earned an Associate or higher degree. -Student is a Special Admission student (concurrently enrolled minor). - Student is enrolling solely to take a course that is legally mandated for employment or necessary in response to a significant change in industry or licensure standards. CONTINUING STUDENT: a student who has been enrolled in one or more of the two previous primary semesters. Only continuing students are eligible to apply for a high-unit waiver. Continuing students receive enrollment priority based on the number of completed and in-progress degree-applicable units taken at any of the colleges in this district providing they have not been placed on academic or progress probation or more serious academic sanction for two consecutive terms. Transfer units are not used to calculate enrollment priority. Limitations • Continuing students who have earned more than 90 units will lose enrollment priority and will register during open registration unless they successfully petition for a waiver that reinstates them to the previous enrollment priority. The petition for reinstatement of enrollment priority is initiated through a counseling appointment. • Students may petition for reinstatement of registration priority if they are enrolled in a high-unit major or program of study, high-unit transfer major; or are registering for their last semester at the college. • Continuing students who are placed on academic or progress probation or more serious academic sanction for two consecutive terms will lose enrollment priority and will register during open registration. Students who lose their priority may appeal if they have verifiable extenuating circumstances as defined below; an approved appeal will result in the reinstatement of enrollment priority. The petition to appeal loss of enrollment priority is initiated through a counseling appointment. • Extenuating circumstances are defined as verifiable cases of accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the student’s control. Appeals must be supported by verifiable documentation of circumstances. RETURNING STUDENT: a student who has been previously enrolled, but not enrolled for either of the previous two primary semesters. Returning students who have not attended in at least one year, who have completed fewer than 90 units, are in good academic standing in the Ventura County Community College District, and have completed orientation assessment and an educational plan will have registration priority over returning students who do not meet these criteria. SPECIAL ADMISSION STUDENT: a concurrently enrolled minor attending public, private or home school who is also taking classes at a college in the District. Special Admission students register behind other groups as designated by state mandate. Where the District has an MOU with specific high schools that designate them as partners in a “middle college high school” agreement, the students from those high schools will be afforded priority over other special admission students. Assignment of Enrollment Priorities in the VCCCD Pursuant to Title 5 Sections 58106, 58108; Education Code Section 66025.8 et. seq. within the Ventura County Community College District, priority registration appointments are assigned based on the following criteria and in the following order: 1. Priority as defined by statute for: • foster youth and former foster youth; all new students must have completed orientation, assessment, and an educational plan. Moorpark College - Index 2015-2016 • active military and military veterans, DSPS students, EOPS students, and CalWORKS students - all continuing and returning students in these groups must be in good academic standing; all new students in these groups must have completed orientation, assessment, and an educational plan. 2. Student athletes beyond their first semester as verified by a designated athletics counselor - all continuing students must be in good academic standing; students new to the college must have completed orientation, assessment, and an educational plan. 3. Continuing students with 76-90 units* who are in good academic standing. 4. Continuing students with 45-75 units* who are in good academic standing. 5. Continuing students with 30-44 units* who are in good academic standing. 6. Continuing students with 15-29 units* who are in good academic standing. 7. Continuing students with 1-14 units* who are in good academic standing. 8. a) New students who have completed orientation, assessment, and an educational plan b) Returning students who have not attended in at least one year, who have completed fewer than 90.5 units, are in good academic standing in the Ventura County Community College District, and have completed orientation, assessment, and an educational plan. 9. Open registration for all students (excluding Special Admission students), including: • All students that have been placed on academic or progress probation or more serious academic sanction for two consecutive terms unless they successfully appeal for reinstatement of enrollment priority based on verifiable extenuating circumstances. • New and returning students who choose to be exempt from participating in orientation, assessment, and/or the development of a student educational plan (see Exemption information above). 10. Special admission high school students and other concurrently enrolled minors. Definitions Abbreviated Educational Plan – A plan that identifies the courses a new student will take in their first one or two semesters. An abbreviated educational plan may be developed by a student with or without the help of an academic counselor, and is not approved by a counselor. Abbreviated educational plans are required for all new nonexempt students; however, a comprehensive educational plan will also satisfy this requirement. Comprehensive (Active) Educational Plan – A plan that identifies the courses a student must take to complete their informed program of study and reach their educational goals. The comprehensive educational plan is generally at least two semesters long, and ideally will be long enough to identify everything a student must due to achieve their educational goal. Comprehensive educational plans are required for all students who have completed 15 units of college coursework, and must approved by an academic counselor during a counseling appointment. Good Academic Standing– Defined solely for purposes of assigning enrollment priority as a student who has not been on academic or progress probation or dismissal for two consecutive terms. Students who are on probation for two consecutive terms will lose enrollment priority for the next term. Informed Program of Study – The degree, certificate or transfer program of study that a student declares upon completing 15 units of college coursework. The “informed program of study” is the basis for a student’s comprehensive educational plan. Primary Semesters – fall and spring APPENDIX XVI 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 VCCCD when that work is not considered to be reflective of the student’s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate the completion of requirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate, or transfer. Academic Renewal: A student may petition to disregard a maximum of 24 semester units of any courses with less than a “C” or equivalent grade. Academic renewal may not be applied to any course that has been used to satisfy associate degree, certificate of achievement, IGETC or CSU-GE transfer general education breadth requirements. A student may disregard a maximum of 24 or fewer semester units of any courses with less than a “C” or equivalent grade taken during any five terms maximum (summer is considered one term), not necessarily consecutively. Eligibility: To qualify for academic renewal, students must do all of the following: • Submit official transcripts of all college work. • Wait 12 months after the course work to be disregarded is completed. • Students must demonstrate recent academic success based on the coursework they have completed at any regionally accredited college after the coursework that is being petitioned for exclusion through academic renewal. Recent academic success may be demonstrated by one of the following: -Completing at least 12 semester units with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, or - - Completing at least 15 semester units with a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA, or -Completing at least 24 semester units with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. • The colleges of the VCCCD will honor similar actions by other regionally accredited colleges and universities in determining grade point averages and credits. Petition Process: The petition form for this purpose, “Petition for Academic Renewal” is initiated by the student through a Counseling appointment. Recording of Academic Renewal: Once the Petition for 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. Academic renewal actions are permanent and irreversible. The student should be aware that other colleges or universities may have different policies concerning Academic Renewal and may not honor this policy.

Moorpark College - Index 2015-2016 APPENDIX XXI USE OF STUDENT IMAGE, LIKENESS, OR VOICE The VCCCD college campuses often hosts events that are open to the public such as, but not limited to, graduation, athletic competitions, job fairs, speakers, and various activities held at the theatre. Those events are considered news events. Such an event may be photographed, video-taped or Webcast for purposes of archiving the event, educational use, or publicity. Students, staff and faculty who attend those events may have their image or voice captured on video, Webcast or photograph. Due to the nature of the events, the VCCCD college campuses has no means by which to prevent such photographs, videotaping or web castings from including a specific student’s image or voice. By attending the event, a person is granting the VCCCD college campuses the right to use any such still or motion images or voice recordings in future publicity or publications as needed and without compensation. No release shall be required by the VCCCD college campuses to utilize in an appropriate manner any images captured during a public event, even if the subject is a minor. APPENDIX XXII DISTANCE EDUCATION Definition Distance education means instruction in which the instructor and student are separated by distance and interact through the assistance of communication technology. This definition includes both hybrid and fully online courses. Course Approval Each proposed or existing course offered by distance education shall be reviewed and approved separately. Separate approval is mandatory if any portion of instruction in a course replaces faceto- face time, or if an entire section of a course, is designed to be provided through distance education. The review and approval of new and existing distance education courses shall follow the curriculum approval procedures outlined in Administrative Procedure 4020, Program and Curriculum Development. Distance education courses shall be approved under the same conditions and criteria as all other courses. Certification When approving distance education courses, the Curriculum Committee (CC) will certify the following: A. Course quality standards: The same standards of course quality are applied to distance educationcourses as are applied to traditional classroom courses. B. Course quality determinations: Determinations and judgments about the quality of distance education courses are made in accordance with all CC course approval criteria and procedures. C. Instructor contact: Each section of a course that is offered through distance education will include regulareffective contact between instructor and students. Distance Education includes the following specifications of instructor/student contact: 1. Instructor-initiated interaction: In hybrid or fully online courses, ensuring regular effective instructor/student contact guarantees the student receives the benefit of the instructor's presence in the learning environment both as a provider of instructional information and as a facilitator of student learning. In a face-to-face instructional format, instructors are present at each class meeting and interact via class announcements, lectures, activities, and discussions, which take a variety of forms. In hybrid and online instructional formats, instructors will regularly initiate interaction with students to assess if they are doing all of the following: a. Accessing and comprehending course material b. Participating regularly in course activities Faculty office hours are not included as fulfilling the regular effective contact requirement and are a separate requirement. Providing students with an open-ended question forum although appropriate, does not constitute theentirety of effective instructor-initiated interaction. Instructor-initiated interaction will create an environment of academic integrity that discourages fraud in the form of student misrepresentation and constitutes a means for the following: a. Monitoring satisfactory progress, defined as earning grades consistent with a final course grade of a "C" or "Pass" b. Tracking student attendance c. Determining the last day of attendance for students who drop the course via the following methods: • Prior to the first census date, the instructor will initiate an activity that requires student participation. • The instructor will include various robust assessments and assignments on a frequent basis throughout the semester 2. Frequency of interaction: Distance education courses are considered the virtual equivalent of traditional classroom courses; thus, the frequency of instructor/student interaction in a distance education course will be at least the same as would be established in its face-to-face counterpart. At the very least, the number of instructor contact hours per week that would be available for face-to-face students will also be available, in asynchronous and/or synchronous mode, with students in the distance education format (based on the Carnegie unit). Given the nature of asynchronous instructional methodologies, contact shall be distributed in a manner that ensures regular instructor/student contact is maintained over the course of a week and the duration of the term and should occur as often as is appropriate for the course. 3. Establishing expectations and managing unexpected instructor absence: An instructor and/or department established policy describing the frequency and timeliness of instructor- initiated contact and instructor feedback will be posted in the syllabus and/or other course documents made available to students when the course officially opens each semester. This information will also refer students to the section in the college catalog on student rights and responsibilities. Moorpark College - Index 2015-2016 During the course, instructors will notify students and the Department Chair when they must be out of contact beyond what is described in the course documents as mentioned above. This notification will include when students can expect regular effective contact to resume. 4. Quality of contact: Regarding the type of contact that will exist in all Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) distance education courses, instructors will use a variety of means to initiate contact with students, such as the following: a. Threaded discussion forums (with appropriate instructor participation) b. "Questions for the instructor" forums c. General email d. Weekly announcements e. Timely and frequent feedback for student work f. Instructor prepared electronic lectures or introductions in the form of electronic lectures to any publisher created materials (written, recorded, broadcast, etc.) that, combined with other course materials, create the virtual equivalent of the face-toface class. In addition, instructors shall enable effective instructor/student interaction in distance education course by doing all of the following: a. Allocating sufficient hours per week for contact. This may include informing students of the option to meet on a face-toface basis or via web conferencing or via telephone. b. Conducting student/instructor interaction with similar care and attention to students as that which occurs during face-to-face office hours and meetings. c. Responding to student emails, postings, phone calls, etc., in a timely manner. d. Duration of approval: All distance education courses approved under this procedure will continue to be in effect unless substantive changes are made to their official course outlines of record. Verification of Student Identity Consistent with federal regulations pertaining to federal financial aid eligibility, the District must authenticate or verify that the student who registers in a distance education or correspondence education course is the same student who participates in and completes the course or program and receives the academic credit. The District will provide to each student at the time of registration a statement of the process in place to protect student privacy and estimated additional student charges associated with verification of student identity, if any. The Chief Instruction Officer shall ensure the institution utilizes one or more of these methods to authenticate or verify student identity: A. Secure login and password to enable authenticated access to student information and course management system. B. Proctored examinations. C. New or other technologies and practices that are effective in verifying student identification. Student Support Services The Colleges will assure that distance learners have reasonable access to student support services that are comparable to those services provided to on-campus learners.
