Moorpark College opened in fall 1967 with 2,500 students and 50 employees. Today, Moorpark College has more than 15,000 students and more than 400 faculty and staff. Thanks to the foundation laid by the founders and the dedication of everyone at the College to teaching and learning, our students are highly successful in transfer, well- prepared to enter careers, and are engaged in life and work of their communities. I welcome you to our community of learners, and wish you every success in achieving your educational goals at Moorpark College. Pam Eddinger, PhD President A college education lasts a lifetime, and Moorpark College is an excellent place to start. Moorpark�s faculty have developed and nurtured programs from the Exotic Animal Training and Management program to our nationally recognized Forensics team; from our Health and Science programs to our Visual and Performing Arts programs and a phenomenal array of Behavioral and Social Science courses. It�s the work of both students and faculty that make these programs special. Welcome to Moorpark College. Riley Dwyer 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) 378-1431. 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. Moorpark College - College Information 2012 - 2013 HISTORY OF MOORPARK COLLEGE 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 vocational education to its role of preparing students for transfer to four-year schools. Dr. Robert Lombardi became the College�s second president in 1971. Dr. Ray Hearon held the longest term as president, serving from 1974-1989. The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 to spearhead construction of an athletic stadium, amphitheater and observatory. In 1985, the 4,000-seat stadium was named for Paul Griffin, Jr., a local developer and major benefactor. In 1987, the Carlsberg Amphitheater and Charles Temple Observatory were dedicated as part of the College�s 20th anniversary celebration. During the 1980s, several other buildings were completed: Applied Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities/ Social Science, Music, and Student Services. In 1989, the Center for Learning Assistance Services opened for service. Dr. Stanley Bowers served as president from 1989-1991, followed by Roger Boedecker, who served from 1991-1992. Dr. James Walker became president in 1992, but was called away to serve as Interim Chancellor in 1995. Dr. Darlene Pacheco served as interim president during Walker�s absence from 1995-1996. Fiscal constraint, brought about by the state�s economic downturn, stalled growth at the College in the early 1990s. Despite hard times, the College completed state-funded construction of the Communications Building (1991) and the Performing Arts Center (1995). The forensics team maintained national ranking while the athletic teams continued to dominate the Western State Conference. In 1997, the Child Development Center and Disabled Students� Center were expanded. In 1998, two new conference rooms were built in the Campus Center and an acoustic shell was installed on the Main Stage of the Performing Arts Center. In 1999, the 27,000 square foot Fred Kavli Science Center opened, housing the math, science and computer studies programs. This facility also provides student access to a 50-station computer lab. In 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register for classes online at: www.moorparkcollege.edu. In 2000, a high school for high potential juniors and seniors opened on the Moorpark College campus. In 2001 the first High School at Moorpark College graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura 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 Walker who retired. Fall 2002 enrollment swelled to 15,400 and work began on a new Library and Learning Resources Center. In 2004 the college�s first bond project was completed: a parking lot renovation that added 600 spaces. In 2005, the second bond project was completed: the installation of an all-weather track and artificial turf playing field. In September 2005, the new Library/ Learning Resources building opened. A new child development center opened in January of 2007. February 2007 marked the beginning of an endangered butterfly species captive rearing program at America�s Teaching Zoo. The Palos Verdes blue butterfly�s primary rearing site is in San Pedro on government land. In 1997, graphics professor Ted Phillips created a 30th anniversary logo that featured cypress trees and the fountain. In 1998, college officials adopted this logo for business cards and stationary. In 2006, the college chose Ventura-based BBM&D to update the seal as well as design a new logo that can be used on stationery, on all printed outreach materials and on the web. In May 2007, the college unveiled the new seal in preparation for adoption of a whole new logo. The new logo was adopted at the start of the college�s 40th year in August 2007. The college uses the seal for ceremonial purposes and official transcript documents and the logo for all corporate identity and marketing projects. The old library was renamed Fountain Hall and opened for classes in Fall 2007. In July 2008, Dr. Pam Eddinger became Moorpark�s ninth president, replacing Dr. Conrad who retired. Fall 2008 enrollment swelled to 15,800 and construction began on the Health Sciences Center, the Academic Center, and the Exotic Animal Training and Management (EATM) Building, all of which are now open for instruction. 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 Moorpark College - College Information 2012 - 2013 IMPORTANT CAMPUS PHONE NUMBERS IMPORTANT CAMPUS PHONE NUMBERS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES President ..................................................................... 378-1407 MAIN CAMPUS NUMBER .....................................

All questions as to legal residence and the exceptions allowed under California law shall be directed to the 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.

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 proof documents is available from Records Office. Students who are former residents of California and have been absent from the State, but who attended a California high school for three years and graduated from a California high school may be eligible for exemption from the requirement to pay non-resident tuition fees while they reestablish their legal residence in the State.

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).

Eligibility for the exemption does not mean the individual is classified as a California resident. Persons eligible for the exemption may not be eligible for certain types of financial aid or assistance.

The College is not required to keep external transcripts. Therefore, students should be aware that records are periodically purged and external transcripts are destroyed. Acceptance of Transfer Coursework FROM REGIONALLY ACCREDITED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: Coursework presented on official transcripts from regionally accredited colleges and universities will normally be granted lower division credit by Moorpark College. Exceptions may apply, see a counselor. All transcripts submitted become the property of the College, and copies cannot be forwarded elsewhere or released to the student. These transfer records may be used by authorized College personnel only. FROM OTHER ACCREDITED INSTITUTIONS: Coursework presented on official transcripts from nationally or professionally accredited colleges and universities may be eligible for lower division credit from Moorpark College based on an approved Petition for Variance, recommendations for lower division baccalaureate credit by the American Council on Education, or other evaluative alternatives utilized by College counselors. All transfer coursework is evaluated based upon the current information and practices specified in the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education by the American Council on Education. Students transferring to colleges of the Ventura County Community College District are required to declare all previous college attendance. Failure to provide complete information may result in dismissal from the Ventura County Community Colleges. FROM FOREIGN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES: Students transferring to the Ventura County Community Colleges from foreign colleges or universities must have their transcripts translated and evaluated by a qualified translation and evaluation agency. Contact the Moorpark College International Student Office or Admissions and Records Office for more information regarding credential evaluation criteria. Students must submit official transcripts to a qualified agency and request that the agency forward the official evaluation to the College. Completed coursework will be considered for lower division unit credit only. However, foreign coursework cannot be applied to IGETC (except Area 6) unless the foreign institution has U.S. regional accreditation; and, international or foreign coursework cannot be used in CSU GE certification. The individual CSU campus may opt to give students credit for foreign coursework, but community colleges do not have that prerogative. Requests for equivalent Moorpark College course credit are evaluated on an individual basis by a counselor. This review is based upon the recommendations of the transcript evaluation service and by the appropriate college discipline. Credit for Military Service The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will recognize and grant credit to service personnel for formal educational training completed in the United States armed forces provided such credit is not a duplication of work taken previously. Service personnel may be allowed credit for formal service school courses offered by the United States military service recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the armed services of the American Council on Education. The credit allowed will be based upon the recommendations specified in the Guide. The maximum amount of credit which may be allowed toward satisfaction of college requirements shall be 12 units. Service personnel may be allowed full advanced standing credit for college level courses completed under the auspices of the Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) or the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. Such credit will be treated in the same manner and under the same policies as allowing credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Any work completed at a regionally accredited college or university by service personnel while in military service and for which the college or university issues a regular transcript showing the credits allowable toward its own degrees, will be allowed advanced standing credit toward the associate degree in the same manner as if the student had pursued the courses as a civilian. Service personnel should be aware that other colleges and universities may have different policies concerning credit for military educational training. There is no assurance that the granting of these units by the colleges of this district will be accepted by other institutions of higher education. Students must submit an official transcript of military course work to the Admissions and Records Office for evaluation. Contact the Admissions and Records Office for more information.

For more information, please refer to �Privacy Rights Regarding Student Records� in this catalog. Educational Work Load A student�s educational work load generally consists of fifteen (15) units of work per semester in order to make normal progress towards the AA/AS degree and/or transfer requirements. Students desiring to take an overload of more than 19.5 units but less than twenty-two (22) must have a counselor�s approval. Students desiring to take twenty-two (22) units or more must have the approval of the appropriate Dean in addition to the counselor�s approval.

Academic Policies 2012 - 2013 ACADEMIC POLICIES ACADEMIC POLICIES Attendance 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 District 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 � Passing, 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) 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) 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. 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 Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2012 - 2013 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. wITHDRAwAL: A student may withdraw from a class through the last day of the first seventy-five percent (75%) of a class (see calendar in Schedule of Classes). The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this time limit must reflect a grade other than a W. No notation (W or other) shall be made on the academic record of a student who withdraws during the first four weeks or thirty percent (30%) of a term, whichever is less. Withdrawal between the end of the fourth week and the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction for full-semester classes or through seventy-five percent (75%) of a class less than a semester in length shall be recorded as W on the student�s record. LIMITATIONS ON WITHDRAWAL EXIST. See section on "Withdrawal from Class" in this catalog. MILITARY wITHDRAwAL: This option is intended to accommodate students who are recalled to active military duty at any time during a semester. A student may petition for military withdrawal by submitting a written request and copy of military orders to the Admissions and Records Office. Military withdrawal will result in a W notation on the transcript unless the drop occurs within the first 30% of class meetings. The notation will not be counted in evaluation of satisfactory progress for purposes of determining academic standing, probation or dismissal. 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. Pass/No Pass grading Option (formerly Credit/No Credit) Pass/No Pass replace 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. 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 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 percent deadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn. It is the student�s responsibility to file appropriate form by the 30% 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. 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. 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. 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 Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2012 - 2013 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. 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, Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2012 - 2013 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 Registration and Records. Withdrawal from Class It is a student�s responsibility to withdraw from a class when the withdrawal is voluntary and desired on the part of the student. Withdrawals must be initiated by the student, and processed online through their portal (my.vcccd.edu), by mail, via fax, or in person at the Records Office. Mailed and faxed withdrawal requests must be accompanied by a legible copy of the student�s picture ID. Deadlines apply, and students should consult the registration calendar to determine if a class can be dropped. Students who withdraw by the end of the third week of a full-semester length class or by 16% of the total meetings in a short-term class will not receive a notation on their permanent academic record. Students who withdraw after the third week of a full-semester length class or 16% of a short term class shall receive a W on their permanent academic records. W grades will be counted as one of the three enrollment attempts that students are allowed in order to achieve a standard (passing) grade of C/P or better in a course (see Course Repetition in this section). They will also be counted in the calculation of a student�s academic progress to determine academic standing (e.g. good standing, probation or dismissal). Withdrawal from a class after the fourteenth week or seventy-five percent (75%) deadline may be considered if a student provides documentation of verifiable extenuating circumstances. For purposes of this section, extenuating circumstances are generally defined as cases of accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the student�s control. The petition for this purpose, Petition to Change a Grade to W, may be downloaded through the College website, and must be accompanied by supporting documentation. Students who, due to a severe illness or injury are unable to attend classes for a substantial length of time, should contact the Records Office regarding their eligibility for medical withdrawal. Verifiable documentation of circumstances will be required. EXCEPTIoN: A graded course that has been used to satisfy degree, certificate or transfer requirements will not be changed to a W. The W grade does not impact grade point average, but shall be counted as an enrollment attempt when determining whether a student may repeat a course, and as a factor in determining a student�s academic standing. Excessive Ws will result in a student being placed on progress probation. Consult the appendices at the end of this catalog for full information regarding Probation, Dismissal and Readmission. 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. Withdrawal from College It is the student�s responsibility to formally withdraw from all classes, if he or she withdraws from college. A student who withdraws after the end of the first thirty percent (30%) of a class shall have an entry made on his or her permanent record in accordance with the regulations specified in the withdrawal from class policy Course Repetition: limitation on enrollments & Withdrawals Consult the Appendices of this catalog for full policy and procedure information regarding course repetition. 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 Moorpark College - Academic Policies 2012 - 2013 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.

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. Most courses are offered on campus but courses are also available through distance education (online and partially online) requiring minimal trips to campus.

Major for which this GE plan is an option: � GeneralStudiesPatternII Moorpark College - General Education 2012 - 2013 Moorpark College general education Philosophy Statement An Associate Degree signifies more than an accumulation of units; it signifies the successful completion of a pattern of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities and insights that lead to the fulfillment of individual human potential. Therefore, in addition to the Basic Requirements for graduation relating to units, residency, and competency in reading, written expression, and mathematics, students must also satisfy General Education requirements as required by Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations and by Ventura County Community College District Governing Board Policy. The philosophy underlying �general education� is that no discipline is an isolated endeavor; instead, each relies upon and contributes to a common body of knowledge, ideas, intellectual processes, cultural traditions, and modes of perception. One�s understanding of a specific subject area is greatly enhanced and enriched by knowledge in and experience with other disciplines. Thus, the General Education requirements are designed to introduce students to the variety of means through which people comprehend the modern world and fulfill their potential and, in so doing, serve family, community, and society. The General Education requirements reflect the conviction that those who receive a degree must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts, and methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. College-educated persons must be able to use their knowledge to evaluate and appreciate the physical environment, the culture, and the society in which they live. In addition, they must have a good self-understanding and the capacity to adapt to an ever-changing and global environment through an ongoing intellectual curiosity and commitment to life-long learning. Upon successful completion of all of the General Education requirements, students will be able to: � Understand the modes of inquiry and critique used in the natural, social, and behavioral sciences and the humanities � Understand and appreciate the role of culture and the arts in society and in one�s personal life � Think logically and communicate effectively � Understand and adopt the concepts of personal health and fitness to enhance the quality of life � Recognize the multitude of diversities in the physical and human environments and how these diversities impact 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 Moorpark College general education Student learning Outcomes 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.

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, collgeview.com and look at related career prospects at sites like www.bls.gov/oco, and labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov 2) Explore Transfer Opportunities: * California State University (CSU): 23 campuses see csumentor.edu and page 64 in this catalog * University of California (UC): 9 campuses see universityofcalifornia.edu and page 69 in this catalog. * Independent/Private Colleges and Universities: see californiacolleges.edu, and college websites. * Out-of-State Colleges and Universities: see collegboard.org, Petersons.com , and college websites. 3) Schedule an appointment with a counselor in the Counseling Office (805-378-1428) to develop a Transfer plan. 4) Talk to a university representative either in the Career and Transfer Center, at the university campus, or by phone or email to refine your educational plan and/or get up to date information regarding your major, housing, and campus support services. 5) Schedule a visit and campus tour by calling the university�s admission or outreach/recruitment office. 6) Stay on-track: Continue to follow your transfer plan, meeting with your counselor each semester to make adjustments as necessary. Updated major requirements can be found at assist.org for the UC and CSU. 7) Apply to the institutions you selected by their posted deadlines. The UC system accepts fall applications from Nov. 1st �Nov. 30th only. The CSU system accepts fall applications from Oct. 1st through Nov. 30th. Independent and out-of-state colleges have their own deadlines. Check with their admission offices and on their websites. 8) Apply for financial aid online at fafsa.ed.gov after January 1st and prior to March 2nd to be eligible for the Cal Grant and begin searching for outside scholarship opportunities online (examples: hsf.web.com, vccf.org, fastweb.com) and through community organizations 9) Receive your acceptance letters (and from some colleges you will also receive your financial aid award offers shortly after). Choose the campus that best suits your needs and commit to that campus by signing a letter of intent and paying any necessary deposits. Notify the other campuses that you will not be attending so that they may make room for other students. Student Intent to Register - SIR - deadline is typically May 1st. 10) Get Certified: Make an appointment in the Counseling Office to have your IGETC or CSU-GE certified and apply for your Certificate of Achievement in IGETC or CSU-GE. Universities will only consider your lower division GE complete if you have your community college certification completed and sent. Due to impaction, some universities will not admit students without GE certification? 11) Don�t Forget to Send Final Official Transcripts after you have completed all coursework to the university. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough. You may have your admission revoked if you do not provide complete official transcripts by their deadline.

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: 2. Next, select the community college where you are taking or have taken courses in your major Agreements with Other Campuses: From: Moorpark College Selected institution and academic y California State University, Northridge 11-12 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 �CSUTransferableCourses�CSUGE-BreadthCertificationCourses�CSUUSHistory,Constitution,andAmericanIdealsCourses�IGETCforUCandCSU�UCTransferableCourses�UCTransferAdmissionEligibilityCourses Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 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 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 MO1, 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. MC Course C-ID Designation 1. ART M11 ARTH 110 2. ART M20 ARTS 100 3.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 Transfer to the CSU California State University 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 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 427,000 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 2012 - 2013 CSU Minimum Transfer Admission Requirements 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. LOWER DIVISION TRANSFERS: An applicant who completes fewer than 60 semester (90 quarter) units of college credit is considered a lower division student. Due to enrollment pressures, most CSU campuses do not admit lower-division transfer students. 2. UPPER DIVISION TRANSFERS: To qualify for admission as an upper division transfer, applicants must have met the following requirements: � Completed 60 or more transferable semester units (or 90 quarter units) � Completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units of general education courses with a grade of �C� or better in each course including all general education requirements in: o Oral Communication (Area A1 of the CSU GE-Breadth) o Written Communication (Area A2 of the CSU GE-Breadth) o Critical Thinking (Area A3 of the CSU GE-Breadth) o Mathematics (Area B4 of the CSU GE-Breadth) � Have a grade point average of 2.0 or better (2.40 for non-California residents) in all transferable college units attempted. � Are in good standing at the last college or university attended (i.e. eligible to re-enroll at that college or university) 3. TRANSFERING WITH AN ASSOCIATE IN ARTS/SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER DEGREE Students who receive a newly designed California Community College associate degree for transfer (SB 1440/STAR Act) are eligible for admission with junior standing into the California State University (CSU) system. A California Community College student who has the Associates in Arts degree for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science degree for Transfer (AS-T) will be given priority admission consideration to the local CSU into a similar baccalaureate (BA) degree program with a guarantee of junior standing as long as the student meets all prescribed admission requirements. Once admitted, the student will only be required to complete 60 additional prescribed units to qualify for the similar baccalaureate degree. To obtain an AA-T/AS-T degree, students must: � Complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of coursework that would be eligible for transfer to the California State University, including General Education: -IGETC (for CSU) or CSU GE Breadth � Complete at least 18 units of coursework in a major or area of emphasis as defined by the CCC � Earn a minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework For up-to-date information on the transfer associate degree, visit http:// www.calstate.edu/transfer/degrees/associatedegreefortransfer. shtml 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. The best way to apply to the CSU is to go online to the CSUMentor website: www.csumentor.edu. In addition to the online application, CSUMentor has preadmission, financial aid, and admission information as well as campus-specific supplemental information. Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 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 (page 67) B. Complete IGETC (page 74, 75) 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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/impactioninfo.shtml 5. 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 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 admission eligibility has been verified. * Reference: The CSU Admissions Handbook 2012-2013; www. calstate.edu Note: These admission requirements are subject to change. Students should consult csumentor.edu to receive the most current transfer information. Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 California State University (CSU) 2012-2013 General Education-Breadth Certification Courses 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 below. Counselors can help students select courses that fulfill lower-division major requirements as well as general education. After students complete the CSU GE-Breadth pattern, they must meet with a counselor in the Counseling Office. Certification is not automatic. 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. 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 your counselor for updated information.

Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 � UC Davis � UC Berkeley � UC San Francisco � UC Santa Cruz � UC Davis � UC Berkeley � UC San Francisco � UC Santa Cruz � UC Merced � UC Riverside � UC Irvine � UC San Diego UC Transfer Information The University of California System The University of California (UC) is one of the finest research universities in the world. Its academic offerings span 150 disciplines, with more 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 220,000 students. All campuses have uniform entrance requirements and certain other features in common. However, each campus is distinctive and not all majors are offered on all campuses. Students should study the list of undergraduate colleges, schools, and majors available on each campus to determine which campuses will best satisfy their educational needs. Students are encouraged to discuss with their counselor the particular advantages each campus has to offer. For more information, see universityofcalifornia.edu. The Campuses of the University of California University of California, San Francisco (Health Sciences) (UCSF) � UC Santa Barbara University of California, Berkeley (UCB or Cal) University of California, Davis (UCD) University of California, Irvine (UCI) University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) University of California, Merced (UCM) University of California, Riverside (UCR) University of California, San Diego (UCSD) University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) � UC Los Angeles Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 UC Transfer Information Community college students can become eligible for admission to UC by meeting specific requirements. The requirements described below represent the minimum academic standards students must attain to be eligible for admission to the University. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the University nor does it guarantee admission to a particular campus. Admission to the campus and program of choice often requires students to meet more demanding standards. (see Transfer Selection by Campus below). A transfer student, according to the University, is a student who has enrolled in a regular (fall, winter, or spring) session at a college or university following high school. A student who meets this definition cannot disregard his or her college record and apply as a freshman. A student who attends a college summer program immediately after graduating from high school or who has completed college work while in high school is still considered a freshman applicant. Junior-level Transfer The vast majority of transfer students come to the University at the junior level from California community colleges. To be eligible for admission as a junior transfer student, a student must fulfill both of the following criteria: 1. Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of UC transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for nonresidents). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken Pass/No Pass. Note: In order to insure that all units are UC transferable, students should check the Transfer Course Agreement in this catalog and on assist.org to make sure their courses are listed. 2. Complete either: a. IGETC OR b. the following course pattern requirements, earning a grade of C or better in each course and each course must be worth at least 3 semester units: �TwoUCtransferablecollegecourses(3semesteror 4-5 quarter units each) in English composition. �OneUCtransferablecollegecourse(3semesteror 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; �Fourtransferablecollegecourses(3semesteror4-5 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and the physical and biological sciences. Lower-division Transfer The University admits some transfer students before they reach junior standing if they have met specific requirements. Refer to the open/closed major status report at http://www.universityofcalifornia. edu/admissions/how-to-apply/check-majors/index.html to see which campuses will accept lower-division transfers for a particular term. Other Transfers: from four-year or out-of-state two-year institutions or Intercampus transfers The UC gives highest priority in transfer admission to California community college students. However, each year about 10 percent of all transfers enter UC from a four-year college or university. For admission requirements, visit http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ admissions/transfer/requirements/other/index.html. Preparation for Transfer To transfer to the University, a student must take three steps: 1. Meet eligibility for admission (see Admission Requirements listed above). 2. Prepare for upper-division study in the chosen major � transfer students should select a major and take courses that meet major requirements. In most cases, completing at least a portion of the major requirements is essential to gain admission to the major. Transfer Preparation Paths: The Transfer Preparation Paths, available at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ admissions/transfer/preparation-paths/index.html, outline the major preparation requirements at each UC campus for the most popular majors. They are particularly useful in helping students identify major-preparation coursework that will prepare them for multiple UC campuses and are intended to be used in conjunction with major preparation information in www.assist.org and with a counselor. 3. Complete an appropriate set of general education course requirements and electives. Transfer students have two options for fulfilling GE preparation for the UC, depending on the campus and major selected: �IGETC�acceptedbyboththeUCandCSU,ismost helpful for students who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as engineering and many of the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that the college screens for to determine eligibility for admission. See IGETC considerations. OR �Campus-specificgeneraleducationrequirementsofthecollege or campus they plan to attend. (see assist.org) Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 Transfer Selection by Campus Many colleges, schools, or majors within the UC system are highly selective. This means that either the number of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the spaces available and/or the minimum GPA in UC transferable courses is expected to be higher than the minimum criteria for admission. Students are advised to make themselves as competitive as possible when applying for admission both in GPA and course preparation.

By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework. For more information, visit http:// www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/ index.html or/and your counselor in the Counseling Department. UC Credit Limitations In order to receive transfer credit, a course must be approved by the UC and be listed on the Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) available in this catalog and on assist.org. 1. The University of California will award graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college, meaning those units will be counted toward completion of the Bachelor�s degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester units will not receive unit credit, but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy University subject requirements. 2. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded Pass/No Pass. 3. Variable topics courses are reviewed after transfer by the enrolling institution and credit is given only after a review of the scope and content of the course and may require recommendations by faculty. This applies to courses in Independent Studies, Special Topics, and Field Work as well. Credit is not guaranteed. UC does not grant credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology) or Library Departments because of credit restrictions in these areas. 4. Internships may be presented for review after transfer but credit for internships rarely transfers to UC. 5. Honors courses: Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will only be awarded to the first course completed with a grade of C or better. 6. A maximum of 4 units of physical education activity (including intercollegiate athletics) will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 7. A maximum of 8 units of physical education theory courses will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 8. English as a Second Language Courses (ESL): A maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units will earn transfer credit. Course Sequences When requirements are stated as a full-year sequence, students should be encouraged to complete the entire course series before transferring to avoid duplicating coursework. Also, the topics covered in a particular semester or quarter of the sequence at a community college may not be the same as at a UC campus. Reference: www.universityofcalifornia.edu, 2012 Transfer Selection by Campus Many colleges, schools, or majors within the UC system are highly selective. This means that either the number of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the spaces available and/or the minimum GPA in UC transferable courses is expected to be higher than the minimum criteria for admission. Students are advised to make themselves as competitive as possible when applying for admission both in GPA and course preparation.

By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework. For more information, visit http:// www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/ index.html or/and your counselor in the Counseling Department. UC Credit Limitations In order to receive transfer credit, a course must be approved by the UC and be listed on the Transfer Course Agreement (TCA) available in this catalog and on assist.org. 1. The University of California will award graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college, meaning those units will be counted toward completion of the Bachelor�s degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester units will not receive unit credit, but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy University subject requirements. 2. The UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded Pass/No Pass. 3. Variable topics courses are reviewed after transfer by the enrolling institution and credit is given only after a review of the scope and content of the course and may require recommendations by faculty. This applies to courses in Independent Studies, Special Topics, and Field Work as well. Credit is not guaranteed. UC does not grant credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology) or Library Departments because of credit restrictions in these areas. 4. Internships may be presented for review after transfer but credit for internships rarely transfers to UC. 5. Honors courses: Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will only be awarded to the first course completed with a grade of C or better. 6. A maximum of 4 units of physical education activity (including intercollegiate athletics) will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 7. A maximum of 8 units of physical education theory courses will count towards degree or transfer unit requirements. 8. English as a Second Language Courses (ESL): A maximum of 8 semester (12 quarter) units will earn transfer credit. Course Sequences When requirements are stated as a full-year sequence, students should be encouraged to complete the entire course series before transferring to avoid duplicating coursework. Also, the topics covered in a particular semester or quarter of the sequence at a community college may not be the same as at a UC campus.

How courses are applied may vary from campus to campus. Students are encouraged to go to www.assist.org and research their intended major. New courses added to the TCA after this catalog was published can also be found on www.assist.org. Courses that fulfill General Education requirements at all UC campuses can be found on the IGETC Certification Plan on page 76 and 77.

Who May Use IgeTC? Partial IgeTC Certification Completion of the IGETC will permit a student to transfer from a California Community College to a California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) campus generally without the need, Partial certification is defined as completing all but two (2) courses on the IGETC pattern. Each UC or CSU campus will inform a student that has submitted a partial certification of IGETC of the specific after transfer, to take additional lower-division, general education courses to satisfy campus general education requirements. It is strongly recommended that students complete IGETC prior to transfer. Advantages of completing IGETC include more flexibility in class selection at the university and timely progress to degree completion. All UC and CSU campuses will accept the completed IGETC to satisfy all lower division general education requirements. However, individual colleges or majors within a CSU or UC campus may not accept IGETC for meeting general education. Refer to IGETC timelines and courses needed to complete the IGETC. The UC or CSU is responsible for verifying that the missing IGETC course(s) has been completed. Students may complete the missing course(s) at a California Community College or other U.S. regionally accredited institution approved by the CSU or UC campus of attendance either during the summer or while concurrently enrolled depending on the concurrent enrollment rules at their CSU or UC campus. Note: Deficiencies in IGETC Areas 1 and/or 2 may indicate a student does not meet minimum transfer admission requirements. Considerations (page 78) section of the catalog for more information. Who Certifies the IgeTC? Note: Students transferring to a CSU with a completed IGETC will still need to complete 9 semester units of upper division general education and may be held to other campus specific graduation requirements outside of general education and major coursework 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 Which type of student should follow IgeTC quarter schools) prior to transfer. If a student requests certification from a California Community College that is not the last school IGETC is most helpful to students who want to keep their options of attendance, it is at the discretion of that community college to open - specifically, those who know they want to transfer but haven't certify. IGETC certification will be processed without regard to current yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. enrollment status or number of units accrued at a particular CCC.

NoTE: the UC system allows a maximum of 14 semester units graded on a �Pass/No Pass� (Credit/No Credit) basis of the 60 transferable units required for admission. In addition, some UC or CSU campuses may have limitations on Pass/No pass courses that may be used to meet degree requirements. Moorpark College - Transfer Information 2012 - 2013 75 Minimum Unit Value A course must have a minimum unit value of 3 semester or 4 quarter units to meet the requirements for IGETC. It is not acceptable to take three 1 unit courses to fulfill a 3 unit requirement because of the lack of depth or rigor. Exception: 3-quarter unit Math and English courses that satisfy IGETC Area/s 1A or 2 may be applied if they are a part of a sequence, and at least two of the 3-quarter unit sequence courses have each been completed with �C� grade (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher. The course sequence must meet the rigor of IGETC. CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals Requirement The CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement is not part of IGETC. Courses used to satisfy this requirement may also be listed in IGETC Subject Areas 3B and/or 4. CSU campuses have the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy the CSU U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals graduation requirement to also count in Areas 3B/4. Coursework from Other Institutions Coursework completed at another California Community College should be applied to the subject area in which it is listed by the institution where the work was completed. In addition, the course must have been IGETC approved in the area it was taken at the time it was taken. Approval dates can be verified by consulting the website assist.org. Coursework from all other United States regionally accredited institutions should be deemed by the CCC faculty in the discipline or their designee to be comparable to coursework on that community college�s approved IGETC course list before it is allowed to fulfill IGETC requirements. The course should then be used in the same subject areas as those for the community college completing the certification. Upper division work may also be used in limited circumstances. See IGETC standards 5.2.2 for criteria. Foreign Coursework Foreign coursework may be applied to IGETC if the foreign institution has United States regional accreditation. All other foreign coursework cannot be applied to IGETC with the exception of Area 6, Language Other Than English (LOTE). Online/Distance Education/Telecourses California Community Colleges may use online/distance education/ telecourses for IGETC provided that the courses have been approved by the CSU and UC during the IGETC review process. Strictly online Oral Communication courses may not be used on IGETC Area 1C (CSU only). Hybrid-delivery courses may meet the area criteria see IGETC standards 10.1.3a for criteria. Credit by External Exams There is no limit on the number of external exams that can be applied to IGETC. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate exams can provide IGETC credit as listed on the AP and IB GE charts included in this catalog. CLEP (College Level Examination Program) cannot be used on IGETC. Students who have earned credit from an external exam should not take a comparable college course because transfer credit will not be granted for both. Credit by exam is acceptable provided that a United States regionally accredited college or university transcript specifies the course title, unit value, and grade. A �Credit/Pass� designation is acceptable provided that the institution�s policy states that a �Credit/Pass� designation is equivalent to a �C� grade (2.0 grade points on a 4.0 grade scale) or better. The course must be deemed comparable by the CCC faculty in the discipline or its designee as defined in IGETC standards Section 5.2.

All courses taken for IGETC must be completed with a grade of �C� or better (or score of 3 or higher on AP tests). Grades of �C-� are not acceptable. Once a student has completed the IGETC, they must make an appointment with a Moorpark College counselor to request certification; it is not automatic. Pre-major course may also be completed prior to transfer and may count towards IGETC, counselors can help students choose appropriate courses for their major and transfer goals. Students wishing to use courses to meet an IGETC requirement must be sure that the course is on the IGETC list during the academic year when it is taken. IGETC is not appropriate preparation for some colleges/ majors within the UC/CSU systems.

However, selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major. that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth requirement with upper-division coursework after transferring. Los Angeles: The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does not accept IGETC. Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science or biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower-division major prerequisites Merced: The schools of Engineering and Natural Sciences accept to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress IGETC but do not recommend it. through their major.

California�s independent colleges and universities are an excellent choice for many students. There are over 75 nonprofit, independent colleges and universities in the state. The most important criteria for selecting a college or university is how well it fits with your personality, values, and goals. Because every nonprofit, independent college and university has a unique character, there will be at least one that fits your needs. Unlike the University of California or the California State University systems, each California nonprofit, independent college and university has its own Governing Board. This independence allows for a diverse set of college opportunities in California. Many independent colleges belong to the AICCU (Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities). You can explore these colleges and majors available at www.aiccu. edu and compare and contrast CSU/UC/Independent colleges at www.californiacolleges.edu. For assistance in planning a transfer program to an independent institution or an out-of-state college, students should schedule an appointment with a counselor in the Counseling Department. Articulation agreements for some local universities can be found at www.aiccu.edu.

Moorpark College - Course Information 2012 - 2013 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: ACCT Accounting EDU Education MUS Music ANAT Anatomy ENGL English NS Nursing Science ANPH Anatomy and Physiology ENGR Engineering NTS Nutrition ANTH Anthropology ENSC Environmental Science PDEV Professional Development ART Art ESL English as a Second Language PHIL Philosophy AST Astronomy FILM Film Studies PHOT Photography BIOL Biology FREN French PHSC Physical Science BIOT Biotechnology FTVM Film Television Media PHSO Physiology BOT Botany GEOG Geography PHTC Commercial Photography BUS Business GEOL Geology PHYS Physics CD Child Development GERM German POLS Political Science CHEM Chemistry GIS Geographic Information Systems PSY Psychology CHIN Chinese GR Graphics RADT Radiologic Technology CHST Chicano Studies HED Health Education RT Radio Television (see FTVM) CIS Computer Information Systems HIST History SOC Sociology CJ Criminal Justice HS Health Science SPAN Spanish CNSE Computer Networking System Engineering HUM Humanities THA Theatre Arts COL College Strategies ITAL Italian WEXP Work Experience COMM Communication Studies JAPN Japanese ZOO Zoology COUN Counseling JOUR Journalism CS Computer Science KIN Kinesiology For convenience, the course descriptions in this catalog are arranged alphabetically according DANC Dance LS Learning Skills to subject grouping. DRFT Drafting MATH Mathematics EATM Exotic Animal Training Management MICR Microbiology ECON Economics MM Multimedia Moorpark College - Course Information 2012 - 2013 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 courses may be reduced and credit reduced proportionately. Prerequisites, Corequisites and 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. Course Repetition A statement following the course description noting the repeat capability of a course will specify the maximum credit permitted for the designated course. The repeat capability will be expressed in maximum units and/ or in total times the course may be taken. The absence of a repeat capability statement is always intended to designate a course which may be taken one time only. 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 . . .� 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. Moorpark College - Course Information 2012 - 2013 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 COMMUNICATION STUDIES (formerly Speech) 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 playsin 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 will be able to locate features on the surface of the earth, explain why they are located where they are, and describe how places are similar and/or different. Students will also examine human interactions with the environment and describe how physical and cultural landscapes change through time. Students completing physical geography courses will be able to describe the processes that drive earth�s climate, create landforms, and govern the distribution of plants and animals. Students completing human geography will analyze and describe cultural phenomenon such as population, development, agriculture, language and religion. Geography is a dynamic discipline that it is concerned with where things are located on the surface of the earth, why they are located where they are, and how places are similar and/or different. Geographers further examine our interactions with the environment and how physical and cultural landscapes change through time. There are two main branches of geography: physical geography, which focuses on the processes that drive earth�s climate, create landforms, and govern the distribution of plants and animals; and human geography, which focuses on cultural phenomenon such as population, development, agriculture, language and religion. Geography students are trained to examine the spatial organization of physical features and human activities at a variety of spatial scales from local to global. A background in geography is a necessity for careers involving business, economics, planning, education, history, international relations, cartography, conservation, GIS, demography, transportation, tourism and others.

These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Mathematics offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in mathematics is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor�s Degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in mathematics. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment. In addition to General Education degree requirements, complete the following: Required Courses Units CS M10A Introduction to Computer Programming Using Structured C++ 4.0 MATH M25A Calculus with Analytic Geometry I 5.0 MATH M25B Calculus with Analytic Geometry II 5.0 MATH M25C Calculus with Analytic Geometry III 5.0 MATH M31 Introduction to Linear Algebra 3.0 MATH M35 Applied Differential Equations 3.0 PHYS M20A Mechanics of Solids and Fluids 4.0 PHYS M20AL.

Moorpark College - Announcement of Courses 2012 - 2013 Moorpark College has adopted a multi-criteria selection process for admission combined with a random selection process, due to changes in legislation and the Education Code (Section 78261.5). The multi-criteria selection process will be utilized to select the most qualified candidates for admission. In addition, all applicants meeting the minimum requirements based on a Prerequisites system and an assessment/readiness test; recommended by California Chancellor�s Office, to determine program remediation and admission; will have the opportunity to be randomly selected for admission. The Prerequisites system is based on a formula that takes into consideration � overall GPA, GPA in core biological sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Microbiology), number of repeats in the core biological sciences, and English GPA. The composite of these factors generates a Success Score. In addition, all students must take the assessment/readiness test. 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 Prerequisites Courses (Step 2) with a 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 opportunity 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.

Transfer credit: CSU PHYSIOLOGY See Courses in Biological Sciences POLITICAL SCIENCE Program Purpose: Students who complete Political Science courses will acquire a basic understanding of the nuances of the structure of government and will apply primary theories to analyze politics and governance at home and abroad. 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 �selfgovernment� 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.

The Center helps connect students to work experience opportunities made available through local business and industry. Contact the Career Transfer Center with any questions or to apply: (805) 378-1536. DEAN Patricia Ewins, Phone (805) 378-1408 COUNSELORS Judi Gould, Danita Redd BASIC DEFINITIONS AND GUIDELINES Occupational Work Experience connects actual classroom learning to targeted work experience opportunities in a field related to a student�s stated educational major or career goal. Typically, students would sign-up for an internship to receive credit for this occupational work experience. Some programs (Child Development, EATM, Multimedia, for examples) have developed specialized relationships with area businesses, so coordinate Internships under the M80 course designation. 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 identified 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 (in an internship) 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 jobs and faculty supervisors 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 and 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 career trends, resume writing, and interviewing strategies.

College or university faculty are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When faculty speak or write as citizens, he or she should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but this special position in the community imposes special obligations. As persons of learning and educational officers of the college, faculty should remember that the public may judge the teaching profession and the institution by his or her utterances. Hence faculty should, at all times, be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should respect others� opinions, and should make every effort to indicate that he or she is not an institutional spokesman. The faculty are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution.

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 Chief Student Services Officer (CSSO) � A college�s Executive Vice President or Vice President of Student Services, or designee.

Day � A calendar day unless otherwise specified in this procedure. If the final day to take any action required by this procedure falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the administrative offices of the District are closed, the date for such action shall be extended to the next business day. Similarly, if the final day to take any action required by this procedure occurs during summer session or during an intersession, but the basis for the grievance arose prior to that summer or intersession, the final day to take any required action shall be extended to the first business day of the next academic term. Grievant � Any student currently enrolled in the college, a person who has filed an application for admission to the college, or a former student. A grievance by an applicant shall be limited to a complaint regarding denial of admission. Former students shall be limited to grievances relating to course grades to the extent permitted by Education Code Section 76224(a). Respondent � Any person claimed by a Grievant to be responsible for the alleged grievance. Informal Resolution Informal meetings and discussion between persons directly involved in a grievance are essential at the outset of a dispute. A student who has a grievance shall make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter on an informal basis prior to filing a formal grievance, and shall attempt to solve the problem with the person with whom the student has the grievance or dispute. If a student cannot resolve a grievance informally with the Respondent, then the student will request a meeting with the Respondent�s administrator, manager, or division chairperson, who shall meet with the student in an attempt to resolve the issue and may meet with the student and Respondent either jointly or separately. An equitable solution should be sought before persons directly involved in the case have stated official or public positions that might tend to polarize the dispute and render a solution more difficult. At any time, the student may request the assistance of the College Grievance Officer in understanding or arranging the informal resolution process. At no time shall any of the persons directly or indirectly involved in the case use the fact of such informal discussion, the fact that a grievance has been filed, or the character of the informal discussion for the purpose of strengthening the case for or against persons directly involved in the dispute or for any purpose other than the settlement of the grievance. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Formal Resolution In the event an informal resolution is not reached, the grievant shall submit a preliminary written statement of the grievance to the College Grievance Officer within 90 days of the incident on which the grievance is based, or 90 days after the student knew or with reasonable diligence should have known of the basis for the grievance, whichever is later. Within 10 days following receipt of the preliminary written statement of the grievance, the College Grievance Officer shall advise the student of his or her rights and responsibilities under these procedures, and assist the student, if necessary, in the final preparation of the formal written statement of the grievance. The submission of this formal signed and dated written description of the complaint signals the beginning of the formal resolution, serves as the request for a hearing, and shall serve as the dated start of the hearing timeline. The College Grievance Officer will submit a copy of the formal written grievance to the Respondent. The Respondent will be given an opportunity to submit a written response to the allegations to the College Grievance Officer. This response must be received within 10 days.

A quorum shall consist of all three members of the Committee. Grievance Hearing Committee Chair � The College President 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 14 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 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 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 7 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 7 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 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. 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.

All witnesses shall be bound by the student code of conduct Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 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.

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 to the grievance may represent him or herself, and may be represented by a person of his or her choice, except that neither party shall be represented by an attorney. 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.

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 within the meaning of the rules of evidence, and therefore an exception to the hearsay rule for unavailability shall not apply to such witness. At the beginning of the hearing, on the record, the Grievance Hearing Committee Chair shall 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. Any party to the grievance may request a copy of the recording. Any transcript of the hearing requested by a party shall be produced at the requesting party�s expense. Following the close of the hearing, the Grievance Hearing Committee shall deliberate in closed session. These deliberations shall not be electronically recorded and the proceedings shall be confidential for all purposes. Within 30 days following the close of the hearing, the Grievance Hearing Committee shall prepare and send a written decision to the College Grievance Officer to be forwarded to College President. The decision shall include specific factual findings regarding the grievance, and shall include specific conclusions regarding whether a grievance has been established as defined in these procedures. The decision shall also include a specific recommendation regarding the relief to be afforded the Grievant, 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 grievance, any written response, and the oral and written evidence produced at the hearing, and additional information or documentation related to the hearing that is requested by the Grievance Hearing Committee. The District shall maintain records of all Grievance Hearings in a secure location on District premises for a period of 7 years. College President�s decision The College President, at his/her discretion, may accept, reject, or modify the findings, decision, and recommendations of the Grievance Hearing Committee.

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 2012 - 2013 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 Services Office.) The Campus Police Office and the Health Services Coordinator should be notified, if possible. The involved college personnel should then: 1. listen to the victim�s needs; 2. assess the situation. Determine the seriousness of the victim�s injuries; call 911 if injuries are severe and transportation is needed by ambulance to a hospital; 3. ask the victim what she/he wants to do. A consent form (available in English or Spanish) may be completed by the victim for any of the following options: a) does the victim want to be taken to a hospital or private doctor�s office? Does the victim want to contact a friend or family member? If the victim does not want to contact anyone, a campus police officer may take the victim to the hospital. If possible, a female should accompany the victim if the officer is male. b) does the victim want to have the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence contacted? The mission of the Coalition is to coordinate and implement services to the victim of sexual assault. c) does the victim want to report the incident to police? NOTE: If the victim is younger than 18, the sexual assault must be reported to the police. If the victim is 18 years or older, it is the victim�s decision whether or not to involve the police. (California law requires hospitals to report injuries by criminal act to a law enforcement agency.) If the victim of a sexual assault decides to involve the police, the Campus Police Lieutenant will notify the appropriate police department and may request an officer of like gender of the victim for the report. The officer will take a police report, transport, accompany or meet the victim at an appropriate medical facility for the evidentiary examination, may conduct a follow-up interview, and may transport the victim home with consent. The Coordinator Of Health Services will notify the parent, guardian, spouse, or friend, if appropriate, and with the consent of the victim. Upon consent of the victim, the Coordinator Of Health Services may arrange for college personnel or a community Rape and Sexual Assault Counselor to accompany the victim, if appropriate, through hospital procedures and encounters with law enforcement agencies. The Campus Police Lieutenant will complete a confidential incident report and keep records of the incident for statistical purposes. As early as possible in the process outlined above, the Executive Vice President Of Student Learning or the administrator on duty at the college should be notified. That individual should go to the victim�s location and assist in the administration of these procedures, as well as notifying other campus and/or District officials, as appropriate. In the event the sexual assault incident occurs when the campus is not open (�after hours�), the individual initially notified about the sexual assault will notify the campus police by calling on any campus phone (ext 1455); the Campus Police Lieutenant will follow the same procedures as described above. In the event the sexual assault incident occurs at an off-campus event and it is not possible to contact the campus police, then the individual initially notified will contact the local law enforcement authority if the victim is under 18 years old (if 18 or over, if the victim wishes). 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 Coordinator Of Health Services will provide the victim with information on the treatment and counseling for sexual assault and provide referrals for appropriate assistance such as the College Psychologist, College Physician or alternative Community Resources. The Executive Vice President Of Student Learning will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available. The Associate Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, if appropriate, will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available in cases involving faculty or staff. The Executive Vice President Of Student Learning will be responsible for ensuring that all follow-up procedures are completed. 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, ext 1455 � Campus Health Center, ext 1413 � Extended Campus Office, ext 1406 � Sexual Assault Intake Facilitator, ext 1408 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 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. 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. 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.

Procedures for disciplinary Actions (listed in order of severity) Any times specified in these procedures may be shortened or lengthened if there is mutual written concurrence by all parties. Warning � The CSSO or designee, upon recommendation from an instructor or other District or college employee, shall review the report of alleged misconduct. If it is determined that there has been a violation of the Student Code of Conduct or the Education Code, the CSSO or designee will notify the student that the continuation and/or repetition of misconduct may result in more serious disciplinary action. This notification may be delivered orally or in writing. Documentation of the misconduct and/or the notice given to the student shall be retained in the district discipline files for two complete academic years. Warnings may be appealed directly to the College President. Students may not request a student conduct hearing to appeal a warning. [Cf.

If the instructor or the student makes the request, the CSSO or designee shall attend the meeting. The student is not allowed to return to the class for the day of removal and the next class meeting without the concurrence of the instructor. Nothing herein will prevent the CSSO or designee from recommending further disciplinary action in accordance with these procedures based on the facts that led to the removal. [Education Code Section 76032.] Suspensions and Expulsions � Before any disciplinary action to suspend or expel is taken against a student, the following procedures will apply: NoTICE: The CSSO or designee will provide the student with written notice of the conduct warranting the discipline, stating the facts on which the proposed discipline is based, and providing any evidence on which the college may rely in the imposition of discipline. Evidence which may identify other students or which would result in the revelation of test questions or answers need not be provided in advance, and if feasible may be presented under circumstances which maintain the anonymity of other students, or assures the security of test questions or answers. The notice shall be deemed delivered if it is personally served on the student, or the student�s parent or guardian if the student is a minor, or deposited in U.S. mail to the student�s most recent address on file with the college. The notice will include the following: � the specific section of the Standards of Student Conduct or Education Code that the student is accused of violating. � a specific statement of the facts supporting the proposed discipline. � any evidence on which the college may rely in the imposition of discipline. Evidence that may identify other students or which would result in the revelation of test questions or answers need not be provided in advance. Testimony relating to students not subject to discipline may be presented in a manner that protects the anonymity or safety of the third party student. If such testimony is needed, it may be presented under circumstances that protect the safety of such students or maintains the anonymity of other students, as the hearing officer may determine to be in the interests of justice. Similarly, evidence relating to test questions or answers may be presented, if possible, only in a manner that maintains the security of test questions or answers. � the right of the student to meet with the CSSO or designee to discuss the accusation, or to respond in writing, or both. � the level of the discipline that is being proposed.

Upon notification of the Hearing Panel�s composition, the student and the District shall each be allowed one peremptory challenge. The College President 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 Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 by the College President (for administrators), the President of the Academic Senate (for faculty), or the Associated Student President (for students). 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 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. 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. 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. Both parties shall have the right to present statements, testimony, evidence, and witnesses. Each party shall have the right to be represented by a single advisor but not a licensed attorney. The student shall, in consultation with the Hearing Panel, have the right to be served by a translator or qualified interpreter to ensure the student�s full participation in the proceedings. Hearings shall be closed and confidential. No other persons except the student and, the college representative and their non- attorney representatives and/or translators/interpreters, if any, a court reporter, if any, individual witnesses, the Hearing Panel members, and the Hearing Panel�s legal counsel, if any, shall be present. 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 within the meaning of the rules of evidence, and therefore no exception to the hearsay rule for unavailability shall apply to such witness. 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.

Within 7 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 14 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. If the College President modifies or rejects the hearing panel�s decision, the College President shall review the record of the hearing, and shall prepare a new written decision that contains specific factual findings and conclusions. The decision of the College President shall be final, and shall be reported to the District Chancellor. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Expulsion - Within 14 days following receipt of the hearing panel�s recommended decision, the College President shall render a written recommended decision to the Chancellor. The College President may accept, modify or reject the findings, decisions and recommendations of the hearing panel. If the College President modifies or rejects the hearing panel�s decision, he or she shall review the record of the hearing, and shall prepare a new written decision which contains specific factual findings and conclusions. The College President�s decision shall be forwarded to the Chancellor as a recommendation to the Board of Trustees. 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.

Student Right-to-Know Completion and Transfer Rates for Fall 2008 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 2008, 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 colleges 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 2008 to Spring 2011. 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 2009 to Spring 2011, are transfer students. This information can be accessed through the following website: srtk.cccco.edu/index.asp. MC oC VC Completion Rate 32.79% 21.74% 26.90% Transfer Rate 16.31% 9.64% 12.76% Crime Awareness Statistics The security of all members of the campus community is of vital concern to Moorpark College. Very few crimes take place on campus, a fact that makes us feel much more safe and secure. 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 a burned out light bulb in a dark area. The Ventura County Community College District�s Police Office reported the following crimes on the Moorpark College campus in 2011: Appendix IX Financial Aid Programs Board of Governors fee waiver (BoGw): BOGW is a form of financial aid that waives enrollment fees for eligible California students. Grants are funds that do not have to be repaid and are usually based on need. Students must meet Federal/State eligibility criteria to qualify. 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 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 Grants: Cal Grant recipients are selected by the California Student Aid Commission. To apply for the Cal Grant Program, you must submit the FAFSA 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 and GPA Verification form by September 2nd. There are two types of Cal Grant B awards: Entitlement and Competitive. 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. Cal Grant C: helps pay for tuition and training costs in vocational/ technical programs not to exceed two years. william D. ford federal Direct Loans: Moorpark and Ventura College participate in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (at this time, Oxnard College does not participate in the 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. All borrowers are required to complete Loan Entrance/Exit Counseling available online. Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP): Federal regulations require that the Financial Aid Office establish a Satisfactory Academic Progress policy that measures a student's academic progress toward their goal. These standards include both qualitative and quantitative measures. Students must enroll in and be making Satisfactory Academic Progress toward an eligible program in order to maintain eligibility for financial aid. These standards apply to all financial aid applicants and the evaluation of progress applies to all college coursework taken including coursework taken from outside colleges if that coursework has been evaluated and appears on your Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) transcript. A copy of the Standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress is available online and in the Financial Aid Office. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Return to Title Iv (R2T4) Federal financial aid (�Title IV funds�) 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, 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. Post-Withdrawal disbursement 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. Title IV grant funds from a post-withdrawal disbursement are credited to a student�s account to pay for tuition and fees for the term for which the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement or are disbursed directly to the student. VCCCD must obtain a student�s authorization to credit a student�s account with Title IV grant funds for charges other than current charges and must notify the student no later than 30 calendar days after the date that VCCCD determines the student withdrew. VCCCD notifies students by letter that they are eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement and that the student has a deadline of 14 days to respond to the request for authorization. In the notification, VCCCD states that VCCCD is not required to make the post-withdrawal disbursement if the student does not respond by the deadline. 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. Pell grant lifetime eligibility The U.S. Department of Education recently established new regulations which reduce the duration of a student�s eligibility to receive a Federal Pell Grant from 18 full-time semesters (or its equivalent) to 12 full-time semesters (or its equivalent). This provision applies to all Federal Pell Grant eligible students effective 2012-2013. What does this Mean to You? Beginning with Fall 2012, a student has 6 years (12 full-time semesters) of total Pell Grant lifetime eligibility. (This includes all years Pell was received prior to Fall 2012.) 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. Students who have exceeded their Pell Lifetime Eligibility (600%) will no longer be eligible for Federal Pell Grant. Students may continue qualifying for other federal grants or loans in addition to the Board of Governor�s Fee waiver (BOGW) if they meet the eligibility criteria for these programs. Suspension and Extension Appeals cannot override this federal regulation. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Tracking Your lifetime eligibility Used on NSldS You can find your Lifetime Eligibility Used for the Federal Pell Grant by going to the Web site www.nslds.ed.gov and creating a student account. NSLDS, the National Student Loan Data System, tracks your lifetime Pell Grants, loan usage and overpayment status. If you have loans, you may view how much you owe and to whom. ATB Notice Effective for students who first enroll in a program of study on or after July 1, 2012, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74) eliminated the provisions under �484(d) (1), (2), and (4) of the HEA. Under those provisions, a student who did not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent could establish eligibility for Title IV student financial assistance by passing an independently administered examination approved by the U. S. Department of Education (an �approved Ability-To-Benefit (ATB) test�) or by successfully completing six college degree units. Students who do not have a high school diploma or its equivalent and are beyond the age of compulsory education (18 in California) are not eligible to receive financial aid. Please contact our office if you were enrolled in a program of study prior to July 1, 2012 and took and passed an approved Ability-To-Benefit Examination or successfully completed a minimum of 6 college degree-applicable units. Repeated Courses The U.S. Department of Education recently published new regulations which affect students who repeat courses. These regulations may impact your financial aid eligibility and awards, including Federal Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, Direct Loans, and Federal Work Study. Beginning with the Fall 2011 semester, 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 your enrollment status for financial aid purposes, you may only repeat a previously passed course once (a total of two attempts). If you enroll in a previously repeated and passed course for a third time, this course will not count towards your enrollment for financial aid purposes. Examples of repeated courses: 1. Allowable: Repeated courses may be included if the student received an unsatisfactory or failing grade. There is no limit on the number of attempts allowable if the student does not receive a passing grade. Grades of A, B, C, D, P, CR (Credit), or CRE (Credit by Exam) are considered passing grades. 2. Allowable: Student is enrolled in 15 credit hours which include 3 credits repeating a previously passed course. Because the student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits which are not repeats, the student's financial aid eligibility is not impacted by the repeat. 3. Not Permissible: Student receives a D in a course and decides to repeat the course to improve his/her GPA. The student may repeat this passed course one time, but if the student wants to repeat it a second time, the second repeat would not count for financial aid eligibility. In this example, the student is enrolled in 12 credits, including the 3 credit second repeat, so only 9 credits will count for financial aid eligibility. details of the New Regulations � Repeated enrollment that is not aid eligible will be excluded from the student's enrollment status for the term. � Federal Title IV financial aid will be recalculated based on the student's adjusted enrollment status. � This recalculation will be applied regardless of whether a student received aid for previous course enrollments. � Some courses are repeatable per college policy and are not restricted by these regulations. � Waitlisted courses do not count toward official enrollment status for financial aid purposes. � All repeated courses do affect financial aid satisfactory academic progress calculations. A repeated course along with the original attempt must be counted as attempted credits. � Suspension and Extension Appeals cannot override this federal regulation. If you are in a class that is not eligible for payment, but the class is part of your approved educational plan, you will not be penalized for repeating the class, but you cannot receive financial aid for that class. 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 services 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 Services. The district may also employ health aides, physicians, and other health workers as provided by law, budget and need. Student Campus Accident Procedures If you have an accident on campus, it is your responsibility to fill out an Accident Report immediately. This report is available in the Health Center, Campus Police Office, and the Evening Program Office in the mailroom. The Health Center has to be notified that you have had an accident so that we can inform you about your Student Accident Policy. In the event of an accident that requires you to seek outside medical attention, there is a $50 deductible per accident. There is a $100 deductible for athletes per accident. To have all of you additional medical expenses covered you need to see a Health Care Provider that is on the list. This list can be obtained in the Health Center.

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 Matriculation Rights and Responsibilities The primary goal of Matriculation is to assist all students in attaining academic success. It is a partnership which results in an agreement 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 which work together combining several activities and processes to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The SEP is a schedule of recommended courses for two semesters. Within the Matriculation process both college and student responsibilities are defined. College Responsibilities Include: Admissions & Records - provide a process that will enable the college to collect State required information on students. Assessment -provide an assessment process using multiple measures to determine students� academic readiness in English, Reading, Math, and English as a Second Language. Orientation - provide an orientation process designed to acquaint students with College programs, services, facilities and grounds, academic expectations, and college policies and procedures. Counseling/Advisement - provide counseling services to assist students in course selection, development of an individual student educational plan, and use of campus support services; provide additional advisement and counseling to assist students who have not declared an educational goal, are enrolled in basic skill courses, are on academic probation/ dismissal, or have been identified as high-risk. Follow-Up - establish an Early Alert process to monitor a student�s progress and provide necessary assistance toward meeting educational goals; provide students with (or direct them to) written district procedures for challenging matriculation regulatory provisions. NoTE: Alternative services for the matriculation process are provided for ethnic and language minority students and students with disabilities. Student Responsibilities Include: 1. Submit official transcripts from high schools and colleges attended 2. Read the College catalog, class schedules, handouts, and other student materials which detail college policies and procedures. 3. Indicate at least a broad educational goal upon admission. 4. Declare a specific educational goal after completing a minimum of 15 units. 5. Participate in orientation, assessment, advisement groups and other follow-up support services deemed necessary by the college in order for students to complete their stated educational goals. 6. Attend all classes and complete all course assignments. 7. Complete courses and maintain progress toward their educational goals. Matriculation Exemption Policy* *College Math, English, and Reading courses require assessment prior to registration. A comprehensive assessment process is required for all non-exempt students. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in all components of the Matriculation process, i.e. orientation, assessment, counseling, and follow-up. You may be exempt from participating in the Matriculation process if you meet any one of the criteria listed below: 1. Students who have already earned an AA/AS degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution and CAN DEMONSTRATE THIS WITH DOCUMENTATION. 2. Students who have completed a basic skills assessment or prerequisite courses at other colleges and CAN DEMONSTRATE THIS WITH DOCUMENTATION. 3. Students who are concurrently enrolled at another college in the district, or a four-year college or university, and who have completed fewer than 16 units of college credit and CAN DEMONSTRATE THIS WITH DOCUMENTATION. 4. Students who have completed fewer than 16 units and whose educational goals are among the following: a. Updating or advancement of job skills. b. Maintenance of a certificate (e.g., nursing or real estate). c. Educational development. d. Personal Interest. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Appendix XII 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. 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 XIII 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. 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 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 one of the following conditions has been met: 1. The course was successfully completed more than three years prior, and: a) is required as a part of the student�s designated educational goal and/or b) is in a sequence of courses based on prerequisites, or 2. 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. If it is determined that an allowable course needs to be repeated pursuant to this section, the 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 that is not designated as a repeatable course based on a finding that the student�s 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. 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. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 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. Courses designated as Repeatable Courses that can be repeated will be so designated in the colleges� catalogs. Courses that are designated as repeatable include: A course may be designated as repeatable if it meets the following criteria: � The course content differs each time it is offered, or � The course may qualify as an activity course where the student meets course objectives by repeating a similar primary educational activity and gains an expanded educational experience each time the course is repeated because: a) Skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods; or b) Active participatory experience in individual study or group assignments is the basic means by which learning objectives are obtained. � Activity courses which may qualify as repeatable courses meeting the requirements of paragraph (2)(B) of this subdivision include, but are not limited to the following: a) Physical education courses; or b) Visual or performing arts courses in music, fine arts, theater or dance. Courses designated as repeatable shall be identified 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 55041c. 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. 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 several levels of courses which consist of similar educational activities, repetition limitations applicable to this section apply to all levels of such courses. (Example: PE 1A, PE 1B and PE 1C may be taken in any combination a maximum of four times.) Visual and performing arts courses in music, fine arts, theater or dance which are part of a sequence of transfer courses are not subject to this limitation. 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 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. 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). Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Appendix XIV Enrollment Priorities Pursuant to Title 5 Section 58106, Education Code Section 66025.8 et.seq., within the Ventura County Community College District, and effective Fall 2012, registration appointments are given in the following order: 1. EOPS students, SDSPS students, CalWorks students, military veterans, and former foster youth as defined by statute 2. Continuing students with 45 � 75* units (waivers for majors exceeding 75 units may be requested through the Counseling Department) 3. Continuing students with 30 � 44* units 4. Continuing students with 15 � 29 units* 5. Continuing students with 1 � 14 units* 6. Newly matriculated students and returning student with less than 76 units 7. New students who have not gone through matriculation 8. Open registration for all students (except �9.� below), including students with 76+ units (unless granted a waiver under item 2 above 9. Special admission high school students *Completed and in progress VCCCD units. Basic skills and non-degree applicable units shall not be counted. Continuing Student: a student who has been enrolled in one or more of the two previous primary semesters. Returning Student: a student who has been previously enrolled, but not enrolled for either of the previous two primary semesters. Primary Semesters: Fall and Spring. Appendix XV Academic Renewal without Course Repetition Students may petition only one time to have a portion of previous college work disregarded in meeting academic requirements in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District. Academic renewal is intended to facilitate the completion of requirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate. A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade point calculations and credits from selected portions of previous substandard college work which is not reflective of the student�s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. Substandard work is defined as coursework graded D, F, NC, or NP. The student may petition for academic renewal to disregard previous substandard college work by selecting one of the following options: 1. Disregard a maximum of fifteen (15) or fewer semester units of any courses with less than a C or equivalent grade taken during any one or two terms (maximum two terms), not necessarily consecutively; or 2. Disregard all courses from two consecutive terms (one summer or intersession may be regarded as equivalent to one semester at the student�s discretion). Courses and units taken at any institution may be disregarded. Academic renewal may be granted only to a student who has completed at least twelve (12) units in residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; has submitted transcripts of all college work; has waited two years since the coursework to be disregarded was completed; and has subsequently completed at least thirty (30) semester units with a minimum 2.4 grade point average. A graded course that has been used to satisfy degree, certificate or transfer requirements cannot be academically renewed. The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will honor similar actions by other accredited colleges and universities in determining grade point averages and credits. The petition for this purpose, Petition for Academic Renewal, is available in the Counseling Office. Upon approval of the Petition for Academic Renewal, the student�s permanent record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. The student should be aware that other colleges and universities may have different policies concerning academic renewal and may not honor this policy. Moorpark College - Appendices 2012 - 2013 Appendix XvI drug-Free district Policy The District shall be free from all illegal drugs and from the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in all facilities under the control and use of the District.
