History Moorpark College was established in 1963 by the Governing Board of the Ventura County Community College District. Soon after, a 134-acre site on Moorpark’s eastern city boundary was secured in a combination donation/purchase from the Strathearns, a local ranching family. In 1965, taxpayers passed an $8 million bond to build the first phase of the district’s second community college. Construction of the Administration, Library, Science, Technology, Campus Center, Gymnasium and Maintenance buildings began in 1966. With the paint barely dry and remnants of construction rubble still evident, Moorpark College opened on September 11, 1967. Dr. John Collins, the College’s first president, greeted nearly 1,400 students and 50 new faculty members on that day. Enrollment doubled in the first few years as the College added vocational education to its role of preparing students for transfer to four-year schools. Dr. Robert Lombardi became the College’s second president in 1971. Dr. Ray Hearon held the longest term as president, serving from 1974-1989. The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 to spearhead construction of an athletic stadium, amphitheater and observatory. In 1985, the 4,000-seat stadium was named for Paul Griffin, Jr., a local developer and major benefactor. In 1987, the Carlsberg Amphitheater and Charles Temple Observatory were dedicated as part of the College’s 20th anniversary celebration. During the 1980s, several other buildings were completed: Applied Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities/Social Science, Music, and Student Services. In 1989, the Center for Learning Assistance Services opened for service. Dr. Stanley Bowers served as president from 1989-1991, followed by Roger Boedecker, who served from 1991-1992. Dr. James Walker became president in 1992, but was called away to serve as Interim Chancellor in 1995. Dr. Darlene Pacheco served as interim president during Walker’s absence from 1995-1996. Fiscal constraint, brought about by the state’s economic downturn, stalled growth at the College in the early 1990s. Despite hard times, the College completed statefunded construction of the Communications Building (1991) and the Performing Arts Center (1995). The forensics team maintained national ranking while the athletic teams continued to dominate the Western State Conference. In 1997, the Child Development Center and Disabled Students Center were expanded. In 1998, two new conference rooms were built in the Campus Center and an acoustic shell was installed on the Main Stage of the Performing Arts Center. In 1999, the 27,000 square foot Fred Kavli Science Center opened, housing the math, science and computer studies programs. This facility also provides student access to a 50-station computer lab. In 1999, the Instructional Biotechnology Program opened an 8,000 square foot bio-manufacturing facility on the California State University at Channel Islands campus and The Moorpark Review – a student creative arts journal – debuted with the publication of original student writing and photography. Also in 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register for classes on-line at: www.moorparkcollege.edu. In 2000, a high school for high potential juniors and seniors opened on the Moorpark College campus. In 2001 the first High School at MoorparkCollege graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura County voters passed Measure S, a bond that will provide $356 million in construction financing for the Ventura County Community Colleges, of which $104 will be used to renovate/ expand Moorpark. Moorpark is poised to grow to 19,000 students by the year 2015 and bond monies will fund 23 new or renovated classroom buildings and related facilities.. Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 In July, 2002, Dr. Eva Conrad became Moorpark’s eighth president replacing Walker who retired. Fall 2002 enrollment swelled to 15,400 and work began on a new Library and Learning Resources Center. In 2004 the college’s first bond project was completed, a parking lot renovation that added 600 spaces. In 2005, the second bond project was completed, the installation of an all-weather track and artificial turf playing field. In September 2005, the new Library/Learning Resources building opened. A new child development center will open in Spring of 2007. Through its continued attention to quality and innovation, Moorpark College has become one of the top community colleges in the nation.  Based on enrollment Moorpark ranks second in the state for transfer to the University of California and California State University systems. No local college does a better job preparing students for their future.  Moorpark College graduates are making meaningful contributions to both the public and private sectors in Ventura County, the state and the nation.

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

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

These programs require special admissions procedures that are detailed within the “List of Courses.” Prerequisites and Corequisites Moorpark College is fully committed to providing educational opportunities to all students and fostering student success. Some courses require specialized training or preparation to ensure success. Such criteria or “prerequisites” have been established as a means of notifying students of the skills and abilities needed to succeed in a specific course. Students should carefully review prerequisites and corequisites before enrolling in classes. Important Definitions PREREQUISITE: A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must possess prior to enrollment and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed in the course or program. It is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in a course or educational program. For example, a student enrolling in general chemistry will have difficulty without adequate preparation in algebra. Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of “C” or better prior to registration in a specific course. COREQUISITE: A corequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must acquire through concurrent enrollment in another course and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed. It is a condition of enrollment consisting of a course that a student is required to simultaneously take in order to enroll in another course. RECOMMENDED PREPARATION: Specifies the preparation suggested by faculty that is expected to help students successfully complete a particular course. While encouraged to do so, students do not have to satisfy recommended preparation guidelines to enroll in a course. LIMITATIONS ON ENROLLMENT: Note other restrictions that must be met in order for a student to register for a specific class. For example, a child development course might state the following: “Proof of negative TB clearance is required.” Course prerequisites, corequisites or recommended preparation/other limitations are specified within course descriptions provided in “The List of Courses” that is presented in the center section of this catalog. They are also specified in each semester’s Schedule of Classes. A course has no prerequisites or corequisites unless so designated. Students must satisfy the prerequisite or corequisite requirements for all courses in which they enroll. Prerequisite Equivalency Students who have completed course work at the high school level or at another college that could be seen as equivalent to a course’s stated prerequisite need to have official transcripts sent to the Moorpark College Counseling Department, so the equivalency can be verified and recorded. Students may hand carry official (unopened) transcripts to the Counseling Office prior to registration to expedite the review process. The counselors will review the transcripts and determine how the previous courses meet the stated prerequisites. Additional documentation may be required to make the determination. Once it has been determined by a counselor that previous course work does indeed meet stated prerequisites, then a “Prerequisite for Course Equivalency Form” can be completed, signed, and submitted to Admissions and Records, so the student can proceed with course registration. Challenging a Prerequisite or Corequisite It is recognized that students may have preparation equivalent to the stated prerequisites or corequisites or may wish to challenge a prerequisite or corequisite as allowed by state law. The petition for challenging a prerequisite or corequisite is available in the Counseling Office. The student shall bear the initial burden of showing that grounds exist for the challenge. A “Petition to Challenge” Form is available from the Counseling Desk in the Administration Building. If you have any questions or need help, make an appointment with a counselor by calling (805) 378-1428. The following lists the grounds in which a challenge may be pursued: 1. The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal of his/her educational plan because the prerequisite or corequisite course has not been made reasonably available. 2. The prerequisite or corequisite is not valid because it is not necessary for success in the course for which it is required (student documentation required). 3. The prerequisite or corequisite is unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner (student documentation required). 4. The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite (student documentation required). Concurrent High School Student Admission In accordance with the California Education Code high school juniors and seniors are permitted to enroll in college courses as Special High School Admission students. This permission is required for each semester the student wishes to attend until the student graduates from high school or turns 18 years or age, whichever is sooner. High school students must register in person and are limited to a maximum of 11.0 units per semester. Course enrollment fees are waived for Special High School Admission students. All other fees apply. Moorpark College grants college credit only. Succeeding as a Student 1 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 In order to qualify and register for Special High School Admission, all high school students (seniors, juniors or younger) must have the written permission of a parent or guardian and their high school principal or counselor.

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

Educational Workload A student’s educational workload generally consists of fifteen (15) units of course work per semester in order to make normal progress toward an Associate Degree, a Certificate of Achievement or timely transfer to a four-year institution. Students desiring to take an overload – more than nineteen and a half (19.5) units but less than twenty-two (22) – must have a counselor’s approval. Students desiring to take twenty-two (22) units or more must have the approval of the Dean of Student Learning in addition to the counselor’s approval. To make a counseling appointment, call (805) 378-1428. A Realistic Course Load A major consideration for students, particularly first time students or those returning to college after a lengthy absence, is a determination of an appropriate load. While the number of courses one can handle during a semester varies among individuals, experience indicates that for most students, typical lecture courses require two hours of outside preparation time for each hour in class. Thus, a 12-unit course load, for example, represents a weekly commitment of 36 hours. For a four-unit class that meets for eight weeks, the time commitment would be eight hours in class and 16 hours of preparation each week, totaling 24 hours a week. Moorpark College wants students to succeed so advises establishing a realistic course load, given specific work, class and family commitments. Class Attendance Failure of a student to be present at the first scheduled meeting of a class may result in exclusion from that class, especially if other eligible students are present and seeking admission to the class. It is the responsibility of students, at the beginning of the semester, to become aware of the attendance policies of the instructor for each class in which they are enrolled. Students are responsible for maintaining regular class attendance. When a student’s absence exceeds in number 1/9 of the total class contact hours for the session (e.g., absence from a semester-long class equal to twice the number of hours the class meets in one week), the instructor may, after due warning, If dropped or excluded from class, a student may petition the instructor for reinstatement when just cause for the absence exists. If the reason for exclusion is more serious in nature (e.g., Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Discrimination) it would be better for students to start the process of review and intervention with the appropriate Division Dean. The matter may also be brought to the attention of the Executive Vice President of Student Learning at (805) 378-1403. Campus Life Moorpark College is aware of research suggesting that students achieve success more consistently, if they feel a connection to the campus where they attend classes. The friendships made and the activities participated in, therefore, contribute to each student’s future success. Moorpark College offers students various ways to be involved on campus.

Grading System The quality of a student’s work will be measured by the following letter grades: Symbol Definition Grade Points/Unit A................ Excellent............................................... 4 points per semester unit B................ Good..................................................... 3 points per semester unit C................ Satisfactory........................................... 2 points per semester unit D................ Passing, less than satisfactory.............. 1 point per semester unit F................ Failing.................................................. 0 points per semester unit CR.............. Credit (at least satisfactory) .................. Units awarded not counted in GPA NC.............. No Credit (less than satisfactory, or failing) .................. Units not counted in Grade Point Average Grades from the letter grading scale shall be averaged on the basis of the numerical grade point equivalencies to determine a student’s grade point average. The District Governing Board has authorized the use of only the non-evaluative symbols “I,” “RD” and “W,” which are defined as follows: I - Incomplete Students who are at the end of a term and have failed to complete the required academic work of a course because of unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable reasons may receive a symbol “I” (Incomplete) on their records. The conditions for receiving a letter grade and for the removal of the “I” must be stated by the instructor in a written record which must also state the grade to be assigned in lieu of the removal of the “I.” This record must be given to the student and a copy is to be placed on file with the Registrar until the conditions are met (the “I” is made up) or the time limit is passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed. The “I” may be made up no later than one year following the end of the term for which it was assigned. The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted or for grade point RD - Report Delayed The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the Registrar only. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanent symbol as soon as possible. “RD” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. Academic Policies and Standards W - Withdrawal A student may withdraw from a class through the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction for full-semester classes or through seventy-five percent (75%) of a class less than a semester in length. The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this time limit must reflect a grade other than a “W.” No notation (“W” or other) shall be made on the academic record of the student who withdraws during the first four weeks of a full-semester length class or thirty percent (30%) of a short-term course. Withdrawal between this no-notation deadline (roughly 30% of a course) and the drop deadline (roughly 75% of the course) shall be recorded as a “W” on the student’s record. Credit/No Credit Grade Options Colleges of the Ventura County Community College District may offer courses in two Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) options: • Courses which are offered on a Credit/No Credit basis only, or • Courses in which students may elect the Credit/No Credit option. Credit/No Credit Only includes those courses in which all students in the course are evaluated on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis as indicated in the course description in this Catalog. This CR/NC grading option shall be used to the exclusion of all other grades in courses for which there is a single satisfactory standard of performance and for which unit credit is assigned. “Credit” shall be assigned for meeting that standard, and “No Credit” for failure to do so. The second category (Credit/No Credit Option) is comprised of courses designated by the college wherein each student may elect by no later than the end of the first thirty percent (30%) of the term or length of the class whether the basis of evaluation is to be Credit/No Credit or a letter grade. Once the thirty percent (30%) deadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn and the student becomes ineligible to petition to change a grade. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of his/her intent to be graded on a Credit/No Credit basis and to file the appropriate form; otherwise a letter grade will be assigned. The petition for this purpose, “Request for Credit/No Credit,” is available at Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). All units earned on a Credit/No Credit basis from accredited California institutions of higher education or equivalent out-of-state institutions shall be counted toward satisfactory completion of community college curriculum requirements. A student may apply a maximum of 20 units of credit earned under the Credit/No Credit option to an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. Exceptions to this unit limitation will be granted only to students enrolled in the designated occupational programs specified in the Credit by Examination statement later in this section. Credit (CR) is used to denote “passed with credit” when no letter grade is given. Credit is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of “C” or better. Units earned on a Credit/No Credit basis shall not be used to calculate grade point averages. However, units attempted for which NC is recorded shall be considered when determining probation and dismissal status. Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may restrict the acceptance of courses taken on a Credit/No Credit basis, especially for satisfaction of requirements for the major. Academic Polies and Standards 18 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Availability of Semester Grades Grades for each semester are generally available approximately two weeks after the semester ends. Students have access to their grades online and in person. To access academic records online, go to the Moorpark College website at www. moorparkcollege.edu and click on the Webstar icon to enter the secured area to view grades. An unofficial transcript can be printed from the website. Students with outstanding fees and/or obligations will not be able to access their grades until they have cleared their fees/obligations. If a student thinks the reported grade is in error, the first course of action is to contact the teacher for verification and/or to make an informal appeal. If a satisfactory resolution does not occur, the student may appeal the situation by following the basic procedure spelled out in the Student Grievance Policy in Student Rights & Responsibilities section. Cheating or Plagiarism Moorpark College takes academic honesty very seriously, since ethical behavior and integrity are vital components of ensuring mutual respect across campus. Instructors, accordingly, have the responsibility and authority for dealing with any cheating or plagiarism that may occur in their classes. Such activities could include stealing tests, using “cheat sheets,” copying off another’s test, or turning in someone else’s work as his/her own. It is the policy of the Ventura County Community College District and Moorpark College that the instructor may dismiss a student involved in such dishonest behavior from class with a grade of “F.” In addition, the faculty member may direct the matter to the Executive Vice President of Student Learning for further disciplinary action. Student Due Process If a problem or complaint arises, students have the right to have the matter or disciplinary action investigated as noted in the official Student Grievance Policy, see Student Rights and Responsibilities Section. Most problems of this type (question regarding grade, dropped for poor attendance, etc.) involve misunderstandings, human error or lack of information about established rules. To address such problems, it is often best to speak directly with the teacher or staff member involved. If the matter is not clarified or resolved, it may be useful to talk next with the responsible Division Dean. If the concern still persists, then contact the Office of Student Learning for further review. The Office of Student Learning can be reached at (805) 378-1403. Grade Changes In any course of instruction in a college of the Ventura County Community College District for which grades are awarded, the instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be awarded each student in accordance with the grading system dealing with academic record symbols and grade point average. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetence. Procedures for the correction of a grade given in error shall include expunging the incorrect grade from the record. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to Change Grade,” is available to the teacher from Registration and Records. Course Repetition A course in which a grade of “C” or better has been earned may not be repeated except as identified in the catalog course description or as stated below. Courses taken at the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District in which a grade of “D,” “F,” “NC” or other substandard grade has been earned may be repeated for the purpose of improving a recorded grade. This policy may apply more than once to any particular course. A course taken at another institution, in which a substandard grade was earned, may be repeated at the colleges of the Ventura County Community District, subject to this policy. In order to identify acceptable equivalencies, course equivalency shall be determined chiefly by content, as defined in the catalog course description, and not by course title or units. Prior approval for course repetition shall be required. The “Petition for Course Repetition” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Upon completion of the repeated course, the previous grade earned shall be omitted from the computation of the cumulative grade point average and lined through on the Moorpark College permanent record. This permanent record shall be annotated in a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true complete academic history. Important Note: Students should understand that other colleges or universities may not accept credit for work which represents a repetition of high school work. In addition, there is no assurance that repeated courses resulting in an improvement in grade will be accepted by other colleges or universities. Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition Students may petition to have a portion of previous college work disregarded in meeting academic requirements in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate the completion of requirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate. A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade point calculations and credits from selected portions of previous college work which is not reflective of the student’s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. The student may petition for Academic Renewal to disregard previous substandard college work by selecting one of the following options: • Disregard a maximum of 15 or fewer semester units of any courses with less than a “C” or equivalent grade taken during any one or two terms (maximum two terms), not necessarily consecutively; or • Disregard all courses from two consecutive terms (one summer or intersession may be regarded as equivalent to one semester at the student’s discretion). Courses and units taken at any institution may be disregarded. Academic renewal may be granted only to a student who is currently enrolled in at least one credit course in the College; has completed at least 12 units in residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; has submitted transcripts of all college work; has waited two years since the course work to be disregarded was completed; and has subsequently completed at least 30 semester units with a minimum 2.40 GPA. The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will honor similar actions by other accredited colleges and universities in determining grade point averages and credits. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Academic Renewal,” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Once the Petition of Academic Renewal is granted, the student’s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history. The student should be aware that other colleges or universities may have different policies concerning Academic Renewal and may not honor this policy. Academic Polies and Standards 19 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Probation, Dismissal, and Readmission of Students Probation, dismissal, and readmission policies and procedures are designed to assist students in making progress toward realistic academic, career, and personal goals. Standards for Probation A student who has attempted at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on academic probation if the student has earned a grade point average below 2.0 in all units which were graded on the basis of the grading scale established by the Ventura County Community College District. A student who has enrolled in a total of at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the official academic record shall be placed on progress probation when the percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled and for which entries of “W,” “I,” and “NC” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). A student transferring to a college of the Ventura County Community College District from another college is subject to the same probation and dismissal policies as students of this college district. Special Note to Students Claiming Veterans Benefits: A veteran is placed on academic probation when less than 50% of units attempted are completed, less than 2.0 semester grade point average was earned, or less than 2.0 cumulative grade point average is earned. Unsatisfactory progress is defined as being on academic probation for two consecutive semesters. The school will report unsatisfactory progress to the V.A., resulting in termination of benefits. The veteran must receive academic counseling before benefits will be reinstated. Notification of Probation Each college in this Ventura County Community College District shall notify a student who is placed on probation at or near the beginning of the semester in which it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall semester. Moorpark College mails a letter indicating either academic or progress probation to the home address indicated in the student’s records. In addition, each enrolled student’s probation status is recorded at the end of each term as part of the student’s academic record; the notation specifies the student’s status for both academic and progress categories as either “in good standing” or “on probation.” A student placed on probation must, as a condition of continuing enrollment, receive individual counseling, including the regulation of his/her academic program. Each probationary student shall also receive any other support services needed to help overcome the perceived academic difficulties. Students may view their own academic records online by visiting www.moorparkcollege. edu and clicking on the Webstar icon. Removal from Probation A student on academic probation for a grade point deficiency shall be removed from probation when the student’s cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or higher. A student on progress probation because of an excess of units for which entries of “W,” “I” and “NC” are recorded shall be removed from probation when the percentage of units in this category drops below fifty percent (50%). Standards for Dismissal A student who is on academic probation shall be dismissed if the student earned a cumulative grade point average of less than 1.75 in all units attempted in each of three consecutive semesters. A student who has been placed on progress probation shall be subject to dismissal if the percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled and for which entries of “W,” “I” and “NC” are recorded in at least three consecutive semesters reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%). Notification of Dismissal Each college in the Ventura County Community College District shall notify a student who is dismissed at or near the beginning of the semester in which it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall semester. Moorpark College mails a letter indicating “academic dismissal” to the home address indicated in the student’s records. In addition, each enrolled student’s probation status is recorded at the end of each term as part of the student’s academic record; the notation specifies the student’s status for both academic and progress categories as either “in good standing” or “dismissed.” A student who is dismissed has the right of appeal. An exception to academic dismissal may be made only in the event of extreme and unusual medical and/or legal circumstances that can be supported by evidence provided by the student, or in the event of improved scholarship. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission,” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Students may view their own academic records online by visiting www.moorparkcollege.edu and clicking on the Webstar icon. Continued Enrollment or Readmission A student applying for continued enrollment or readmission must submit a petition to explain what circumstances or conditions would justify continued enrollment or readmission. A student applying for readmission shall not be reinstated until a minimum of one semester has elapsed after academic dismissal. A student who is petitioning shall receive counseling to assess his or her academic and career goals and must have counselor approval of his or her educational program prior to registration. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission,” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Counseling Services Counseling services will be provided for students on academic or progress probation or subject to dismissal. Students on probation and subject to dismissal may have units limited and courses or an educational plan prescribed subject to the professional judgment of the counselor. Students subject to academic dismissal shall be required to meet with a counselor prior to registration. Withdrawal from Class It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course. Forms for withdrawing from a class are available in Registration and Records in the Administration Building. Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal through the end of the fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or during the first thirty percent (30%) of a class less than a semester in length. This action results in no record of the dropped classes appearing on student’s academic records (transcript). Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal between the end of the fourth week and the last day of the fourteenth week for full-semester classes, or between the first 30% of the course and the end of seventy-five percent (75%) of a class Academic Polies and Standards 2 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 less than a semester in length. Withdrawal shall be authorized after informing the appropriate faculty. This action shall be recorded as a “W” on the student’s academic records. The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this 75% drop deadline must reflect a grading symbol other than “W.” The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive “Ws” shall be used as factors in probation and dismissal procedures. Withdrawal from a class may only be authorized after the designated time limit by petition and only then under extenuating circumstances of verified cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond control of the student. Approved petitions shall result in a “W” being recorded on a student’s academic record. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to Change Grade to Withdrawal,” is available in Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). When this grade change is made, the student’s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. Withdrawal from College/Dropping a Class It is the student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from all classes if he/she intends to withdraw from college. A student who withdraws after the end of the fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or after the end of the first thirty percent (30%) of a term for short-term or less than full-semester classes shall have an entry made on his or her permanent record in accordance with the regulations specified in the Withdrawal from Class policy. Appropriate forms are available in Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). Students may withdraw from college or drop a class in the following ways: By web, phone, fax, mail or in-person. Special Situations Regarding the Awarding of Credit College Board Advanced Placement Students who completed advanced placement exams while in high school and who have earned scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations will receive credit towards graduation at Moorpark College for such test completed. An official copy of the test scores must be submitted to the Registration and Records Office. Students granted credit for AP exams will not earn credit towards a Moorpark College degree for duplicated college courses. Students should schedule a counseling appointment with a counselor before taking courses which appear to duplicate AP exams and to discuss the specific unit value assigned to each examination and the applicability of this credit to the college’s general education requirements. Other colleges or universities have different policies concerning AP and may grant a different number of units or consider different courses as comparable courses. It is possible that other colleges and universities may not honor Moorpark College transcript entries which award AP credit for particular exams. Students planning to transfer should discuss the use of AP scores for meeting transfer requirements with their counselor. Repetition of General Education Credit Lower-division credit units previously earned by a student to fulfill general education requirements for a baccalaureate degree may be accepted to fulfill general education requirements for a designated associate degree only. Extension Course Credit Normally credit is not granted for extension course work, including correspondence courses. The acceptance of such units for credit by the college will depend on the treatment of the particular course by the institution that offered the course. A petition for acceptance of such course work should be accompanied by material that explains the course content and indicates the kind of credit given by the offering institution. In cases where the granting of credit for extension or correspondence courses is petitioned, it may be required that the student’s competency in such course work be validated according to credit-by-examination procedures, as explained elsewhere in this section. Credit for Military Service The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will recognize and grant credit to service personnel for formal educational training completed in the United States armed forces provided such credit is not a duplication of work taken previously. Service personnel may be allowed credit for formal service school courses offered by the United States Military Service recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. The credit allowed will be based upon the recommendations specified in the Guide. The maximum amount of credit which may be allowed toward satisfaction of college requirements shall be 12 units. Service personnel will be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level courses completed under the auspices of the Defense Activity for Nontraditional Education Support (DANTES) or the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. Service personnel will be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level courses completed at the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) at Port Hueneme based upon the recommendations of the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education of the American Council of Education. Such credit will be treated in the same manner and under the same policies as allowing credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Any work taken by service personnel while in military service at a regionally accredited college or university and for which the college or university issues a regular transcript showing the credits allowable towards its own degrees, will be allowed advanced standing credit toward the Associate Degree in the same manner as if the student had pursued the courses as a civilian. Credit by Examination Granting unit credit for a course by examination is based on the principle that previous experience, training, or instruction is the equivalent of a specific course taught by the college. If an examination indicates that the student possesses adequate equivalency and mastery of the subject, credit may be granted. All courses shall be open to credit by examination unless specifically exempted. Each division of the college shall determine the courses for which credit by examination may be granted and the Office of Instruction shall maintain a current list of courses excluded from this policy. For the purpose of this policy, a course shall mean an organized area of instruction as described in the college catalog. A student should be advised that the use of units given by credit by exam to establish eligibility for athletics, financial aid, and veterans benefits are subject to the rules and regulations of the external agencies involved. Academic Polies and Standards 21 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Exceptions to the above may be made when necessary to meet provisions of California state law or the rules and regulations of state agencies governing programs of the California Community Colleges. Credit by examination may be granted only to a student who is currently enrolled in at least one course in the college; has completed at least 12 units in residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; is not on academic probation; has submitted transcripts of all previous course work; has not earned college credit in more advanced subject matter; and, has not received a grade (A, B, C, D, F, CR, NC) or equivalent, in the course for which he or she is seeking credit by examination at this or any other educational institutions. A student seeking credit by examination will receive a CRE (credit) if he or she satisfactorily passes the examination; no other grade will be recorded. Students who are unsuccessful in an attempt to challenge by examination will not receive a NC (no credit) and no record of the attempt for credit by examination will appear on a student’s transcript. However, students may challenge a course only once. A student may challenge no more than 12 units (or 4 courses) under the Credit by Examination policy towards an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. The amount of unit credit granted by examination to an individual shall not count towards the minimum 12 units required for residency. Credit by examination may be granted in only one course in a sequence of courses, as determined by prerequisites and may not be granted for a course which is prerequisite to the one in which the student is currently enrolled. Exceptions to the proposed statement are permitted for each college in those occupational programs where curriculum makes this necessary. The exceptions are as follows: 1. The 12-unit residency requirement is suspended, permitting students to petition for Credit by Examination prior to completion of that requirement; when the residency requirement has been met, the course(s) successfully challenged shall be added to the student’s record. 2. Credit by Examination may be granted for more than one course in a sequence of required courses, when approved by the administrator responsible for vocational programs. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Credit by Examination,” is initiated in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Approved petitions must be on file with the administering instructor by Friday of the tenth week of the full-length semester. The examination is to be administered prior to the last day of the final examination period. Credit (CRE) is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of “C” or better. Transcript entries shall distinguish credits obtained by examination from credits obtained as a result of regular course enrollment. The student’s academic record shall be clearly annotated to reflect that credit was earned by examination. Students should be aware that other colleges may not accept credit by examination for transfer purposes. The following courses may not be taken under the “Credit by Examination” option: ANTH M05, HIST M60T, NS M49, PHOT M04, PHOT M09, RADT M49, and all Dance and PE activity courses. Transfer Credit from Regionally Accredited Colleges and Universities Students transferring to the Ventura County Community Colleges from colleges accredited by the recognized regional accrediting associations will normally be granted lower-division credit for courses entered on officially certified transcripts. These transcripts must be sent to Moorpark College Counseling office. They will be evaluated based upon the current practices specified in the accredited institutions postsecondary education by the American Council on Education. Students transferring to the Ventura County Community College District from other regionally accredited colleges and universities, are required to declare all previous college work. Failure to provide complete information may result in dismissal from the Ventura County Community Colleges. Transfer Credit from Foreign Colleges and Universities Students wishing to receive credit for previous course work from foreign colleges or universities must have their transcripts evaluated by an approved credential evaluation service. Students may receive information regarding the credential evaluation service from the Moorpark College International Student Office or Counseling Department. Course work attempted will normally receive lower-division unit credit only. Requests for equivalent course credit are evaluated on an individual basis, based upon the recommendations of the transcript evaluation service and by the appropriate college discipline. Use of Listening or Recording Devices State law in California prohibits the use by anyone in a classroom of any electronic listening or recording device without prior consent of the teacher and school administration. Any student who has need to use electronic aids must secure the consent of the instructor. If the instructor agrees to the request, the notice of consent will be filed with the Executive Vice President, Student Learning. Accuracy of the College Catalog Moorpark College is committed to providing students the most accurate, current information available regarding the College’s programs, courses, regulations and policies. However, there may be times when course changes concerning prerequisites, content, hours, or units of credit are determined after publication of the catalog or when district policy or state regulation dictates a change in current practice. When such a circumstance arises, every effort will be made through the class schedules, public media, and at time of registration to notify students of any changes in the course descriptions or college policies as presented herein. Students with questions or concerns about a specific course need to talk to a counselor (805-378-1428) or to call the appropriate division office. Questions or concerns regarding standard practice and process can be directed to the Office of Student Learning at (805) 378-1403.

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

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

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

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

Career, Graduation and Transfer 3 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 0 Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) – 2006-07 General education requirements are designed to give University undergraduates a broad background in all major academic disciplines. Each school and college at every UC campus has its own general education requirement. Students can also have the option of completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). The IGETC is a series of courses that community college students can use to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any CSU or UC campus. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum will permit a student to transfer without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus specific General Education requirements. The IGETC is not an admission requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements of the CSU or UC. Students may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling CSU’s (campus specific) general education requirements or those of a particular UC campus. See your counselor for advice on your particular educational goal. 2006-07 IGETC Courses AREA 1 - ENGLISH COMMUNICATION CSU: 3 courses required, one from each group below.

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

Full Certification Completion of all five sections (A-E) of these requirements prior to transferring will permit MC to certify to each of the CSU campuses that you have fulfilled the basic 39-unit minimum lower division requirement in general education. Each of the campuses of CSU requires an additional nine units of upper division GE work in residence; some campuses may require more than the 48-unit minimum. Certification is not automatic and must be requested by the student. Partial/Subject Area Certification It is possible to complete separately any of the areas or sections (A-E) at MC and receive partial certification in any or several of those areas if you are not fully certified, it will be necessary for you to complete the remaining areas (and perhaps other areas) after transferring as defined by the catalog of the transfer school. Course Restriction While a course may satisfy more than one general education group and/or area requirement, it shall not be counted more than once and any excess units in one area shall not apply to another area. U.S History, Constitution and American Ideals Requirements All campuses require students to complete college-level coursework in U.S. History, American and California Government. Courses approved to satisfy this requirement are specified in the appropriate areas and most may be doublecounted toward satisfying General Education Breadth requirements. Sequential Courses Most institutions recommend that students complete sequential courses at the college where the series was started. This is especially recommended for a sequence of two or more courses which require the preceding course(s) as a prerequisite to advancement. Advanced Placement Examinations in CSU General Education-Breadth Certification The following Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into certification of completion of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements. Students must have scored 3, 4, or 5 on an Advanced Placement examination listed below to receive the credit indicated. All CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown below toward fulfillment of the designated General Education-Breadth area if the examination is included in a full or subjectarea certification; individual CSU campuses may choose to accept more units than those specified below towards completion of General Education-Breadth requirements. The CSU campus to which the student is transferring determines the total number of units awarded for successful completion of an Advanced Placement examination to the graduation requirements.

Transfer credit: CSU Choosing Classes The basic requirements for achieving a Degree or Certificate in a specific discipline are noted in the following “List of Courses.” Some disciplines provide a sample course sequence that suggests how to schedule the classes to make the most of a student’s time on campus. For information about when each course is offered, consult the current semester’s Schedule of Classes, which is available on campus about five weeks prior to the start of each semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Occasionally there may be changes concerning course numbers, titles, units of credit, prerequisites, hours, or course descriptions made after publication of the Catalog. Efforts will be made through the Schedules of Classes, public media, and at the time of registration, to notify students of any changes other than as described in the Catalog. All degree applicable courses listed in the Catalog meet major, general education, or elective credit requirements for approved degree or certificate programs. Understanding the Course Descriptions The following “List of Courses” provides a variety of information about each specific class: the unit value of the course, the number of hours the course meets, the prerequisites and corequisites, and the transfer status. Transfer Details: Each course description explains the course’s specific transfer status to the California State University (CSU) and/or the University of California (UC) systems. The course may be accepted for credit by the CSU system only, by both the CSU and UC systems, or by neither system. If no transfer status information follows a course description, that course is not acceptable for credit at any of the California public four-year institutions and is probably not accepted at private or out-of-state institutions either. For some courses, the UC system grants limited credit, and an explanation of that limitation is provided. If you have any questions, talk to a counselor or explore a range of online information available in the Transfer Center (Admin. Bldg., (805) 378-1551).

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

Moorpark College Nursing Program is studying a prerequisite system 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 cut score which will need to be obtained to be admitted into the nursing program. The program is in the process of determining the cut score and anticipate it will be published on the Moorpark College Health Sciences Nursing website Fall 2006 (www.moorparkcollege.edu) with expected implementation in Fall 2007. If there are any questions regarding this prerequisite system contact Kim Hoffmans, Coordinator of Health Sciences, (805) 378-1400 ext. 1706. Enrollment Process • Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite Science Courses (Step 3) with a C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better, students may submit an application to a Nursing Counselor from September 1 to October 15 or February 15 to March 15 of each year. All official College and High School transcripts must be submitted with the application. • After a random selection of qualified applicants (meeting the minimum prerequisite score), a number will be assigned to each applicant, and the applicant’s name will be placed on a waiting list: Each applicant’s number will indicate his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admitted to the nursing program by number order. • There will be alternates selected for each admission class to serve on standby for admission until the end of the first week of class. If not admitted, these alternates will be first admissions into the next class. • The Health Science Department will contact applicants regarding program enrollment a semester prior. • 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.

Dean Victoria Bortolussi, Phone (805) 378-1459 Full-time Faculty Balazs Becht, Clinton Harper, Ron Wallingford Counselors Donna Proske Allyn, Edna Ingram, Danita Redd Degree Options in Physics To earn an Associate in Art Degree with a major in Physics, students complete 45-50 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Physics offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in physics 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 physics. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment.

Transfer credit: CSU Physiology See Courses in Biological Sciences Political Science The study of government and politics is the study of how people are governed and how they govern themselves. We examine the process by which scarce resources are allocated to an expanding population with ever-increasing demands. We look at American politics as an experience in “self-government” and realize that our system is quite different from the political systems developed by other countries. The study of politics includes the examination of how diversity impacts American politics. Our discipline also seeks to understand how nations deal with each other and what kinds of issues are likely to separate them – and how they resolve international conflict. A number of political science courses help prepare students for specific careers. For example, political science is often used as a pre-law major or for other related professions, such as careers in government at the federal, state or local levels. Our discipline is also appropriate for a number of other non-government professions and our faculty invite your questions about such opportunities Dean Al Nordquist, Phone (805) 378-1445 Full-time Faculty Gerald Bridgeman, Ron Dyste, Jack Miller, Steven Pfeffer Counselors Anitra Evans, Michael Johnson, Pam Kennedy-Luna Transfer Information Students planning to transfer need to consult with a counselor, prepare a Student Education Plan, and take advantage of support services available in the Transfer Center (Admin.

This course satisfies Title V Constitution requirement and the California state and local government requirement. Work Experience and Internships The Moorpark College Career Services Center coordinates the Work Experience and Internship Program, offering students two basic routes for receiving credit for onthe- job learning: General and Occupational Work Experience. These opportunities are provided in compliance with Title V Cooperative Work Experience Education regulations to ensure an effective learning experience for the students involved. The Center helps connect students to work experience opportunities made available through local business and industry, but students can also turn an existing job into a part of the program, if the work experience involves new or expanded learning. Contact the Career Services Center (located in Campus Center) with any questions or to apply: (805) 378-1536. Dean Patricia Ewins, Phone (805) 378-1512 Basic Definitions and Guidelines General Work Experience provides on-the-job learning that develops effective work habits, attitudes, and behaviors that are applicable in most work environments. This emphasis builds on core competencies needed for career success and advancement that were initially identified in the Secretary’s Commission on Acquiring Necessary Skills (SCANS) for the workplace and encourages the exploration of establishing an effective career/educational goal. Students sign-up for WEXP M10 to receive credit for their work, earning up to 6 units, with a 3-unit maximum enrollment per semester*. Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 178 Work Experience/Internships Work Experience/Internships 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 WEXP M20 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. With either option, 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: To take advantage of the Work Experience and Internship Program, a student needs to be enrolled in at least seven units each semester, but that total can include the work experience course itself. The type of on-the-job learning being pursued (general, occupational, 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 Services Center. In total, students can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester*. *An Exception for One Semester: Over the summer (or over any one semester), students can earn more than the maximum units of work experience typically allowed any given semester. This exception requires that the student has completed at least seven units of college credit, is enrolled for the next semester of classes, and is taking no more than one class in addition to the work experience course during the current semester. If those special requirements are met, a student can earn a maximum of 6 units of general work experience or 8 units of occupational work experience in one semester. The same hours of unpaid vs. paid work is required to earn a unit. 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. Work Experience Courses WEXP M10 -- 1 to 6 Units General Work Experience Prerequisites: None Class Hours: 3-25, Other Provides on-the-job learning to develop effective work habits, attitudes, and career awareness in paid or unpaid jobs that need not be related to student’s major or career goals.

If students succeed, we succeed. One of our main objectives in this partnership is to provide access to all the rules and regulations regarding course work as well as to all the special services that can help students do the best they can in their classes. To meet this objective, there are many Campus Services available. Moorpark College encourages all students to take advantage of all we have to offer. Matriculation The primary goal of Matriculation is to assist all students in attaining academic success. The college and each individual student work together combining several activities and processes to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The SEP is a schedule of recommended courses. Within the Matriculation process both college and student responsibilities are defined. College responsibilities include: 1. Admissions and Records – provide an admissions and records process that will enable the college to collect state required information on students. 2. Assessment – provide an assessment process using multiple measures to determine students’ academic readiness in English, Math, and English as a Second Language. www.moorparkcollege.edu/access 3. Orientation – provide an orientation process designed to acquaint students with college programs, services, facilities and grounds, academic expectations, and college policies and procedures. www.moorparkcollege.edu/orient 4. 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 and educational goal, are enrolled in basic skill courses, are on academic probation/dismissal, or have been identified as high-risk. 5. Follow-up – establish an Early Alert process to monitor a student’s progress and provide 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. Acquire and 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 followup 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. Campus Services Exemption Policy New, returning, or transfer students who may be exempted from the matriculation process are students who: • Already have an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree • Are attending Moorpark College for personal enrichment • Are enrolled only in non-credit community education courses • Are taking classes only to upgrade job skills • Are enrolled in apprenticeship or other special vocational education programs • Are concurrently enrolled in another college or university Exempt students are not required to participate in the matriculation process, but are encouraged to see a counselor. Counseling Services Counseling services are available on a day and evening basis to Moorpark College students. Through a coordinated guidance program, counselors assist students with academic planning and also in career and personal matters. Although any counselor can help any student, students often develop a working relationship with a particular counselor, since consistent contact and follow-up can maximize the counseling efforts. In addition, most counselors have a specified connection to specific majors. For more specific information log on-line at www.moorparkcollege.edu/counsel. Academic Counseling Accurate information about program requirements and course prerequisites is essential for planning courses of study. Counselors serve as valuable resource people in helping select appropriate classes, since they stay aware of any changes that may affect completion of majors, general education and/or transfer requirements. Counselors can help students select the best combination of courses to meet the lower division transfer requirements at the eventual transfer institution. Meeting regularly with a counselor helps ensure progress toward achieving an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. If a student has not selected a major field of study, they are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan and to identify a major. Students may arrange for academic advising by making an appointment at the Counseling Office in the Administration Building or by phoning 378-1428. There is usually a counselor available at the counseling desk to help those students who stop by for immediate help. Career Counseling The Career Development program offers a variety of services and resources designed to aid students in the process of choosing, changing or confirming career goals and life planning. In addition, the college library maintains current written and audio-visual materials on local, state, and national job markets. Students are encouraged to use the career resources in the Transfer/Career Center for computerized career assessments and research. Career Workshops, résumé assistance, and special events are also available. Individualized career counseling is available by appointment. Call: (805) 378-1536. Personal Counseling Getting the maximum benefit out of going to college sometimes involves complications that influence all aspects of life, not just the academic arena. Students are encouraged to come to the counseling area where a professional counselor will be able to assist with any such non-academic concerns.

Financial Aid Moorpark College believes that no student should be denied access to the educational experience because of lack of funds. Financial Aid’s basic goal is to make funds available to students in need in an equitable manner, following closely regulated state and federal laws. Eligibility Eligibility for financial aid is determined by a Department of Educationapproved system which calculates the difference between the ability of students and their families to provide for their financial needs and the amount required to meet educational expenses while attending college. The policy of the Ventura County Community College District is in compliance with the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1998, emphasizing that no financial aid applicant will be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, marital status, age, sex, or physical impairment. For some programs, financial aid eligibility requires a minimum of six (6) units of enrollment each semester. Continued eligibility requires successful completion of contracted units with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. Refer to the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard located in the Financial Aid Office.

A FINAL PRECAUTION Consensual sexual relationships between faculty and student, or between supervisor and employee, while not expressly forbidden, are generally deemed unwise. Although such relationships may be appropriate in other settings, they are not appropriate when they occur between members of the teaching staff and students or between a supervisor and an employee.

Purpose Students are encouraged to pursue academic studies and other collegesponsored activities in order to promote intellectual growth and personal development. In seeking these ends, students should be free from improper interference by other members of the college community. A grievance may be initiated by a student whenever the student believes that she or he has been subject to unjust actions or denied normal rights as stipulated in college regulations and in the State Education and Administrative Codes. A grievance may be initiated by a student against any other student or employee of the college. II. Definition A grievance is an allegation of unjust action or denial of student rights. A grievance exists only when a specific educational wrong has occurred to a single student. This wrong must involve an unjust action or denial of student rights as defined in a specified college, college district or superior legal covenant or judgment. A grievance exists only when such an error or offense has some demonstrably correctable result. The outcome of a grievance must produce a tangible benefit to the student complain-ing or an actual redress of the wrong rather than a punishment for the person or persons found in error. III. Procedures A. Informal Processes When a student believes that a personal injustice has been sustained, an attempt should first be made to resolve the concern by informal means. Consultation should be made with the student, faculty member, administrator or classified person involved in order to seek direct resolution. If this process fails or, for some reason, cannot be accomplished, the aggrieved student should confer with the direct supervisor of the person allegedly causing the problem. If both of these steps are unsuccessful, the aggrieved student should discuss the problem with the Executive Vice President, Student Learning (for all other college programs and services). B. Formal Processes If the aggrieved student believes that the informal consultation processes mentioned in III.A. have failed, the procedures and rules described below must be followed by both the student and the college. This process represents the formal grievance procedure of the college. However, the entire formal grievance process shall be discontinued at any time the parties can informally agree on a mutually satisfactory result. All formal records will be destroyed in this instance. Student Rights and Responsibilities Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 192 Resolution of grievances may not abrogate state or federal laws and applicable Governing Board rules and policies. 1. A college Grievance Committee shall be established by the College President at the opening of each academic year. This committee shall be composed of one faculty member, one enrolled student and one administrator. The chairperson will be designated by the President. Committee members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the President. If, in the judgment of either participant in a formal grievance or the President, a conflict of interest or bias exists with any committee member, that member will be excused and a substitute appointed for the case in question only. A formal grievance must be filed with the Executive Vice President, Student Learning within 90 calendar days of the final event in a sequence of events if any. The 90-day period shall commence on the day of the event or on the day of first knowledge of the event by the complaining party. Proof of the latter delayed date is the responsibility of the complaining party. 2. A formal grievance exists when the Executive Vice President, Student Learning receives a signed written charge specifying the time, place and nature of the injury from the aggrieved student. This written charge should be dated and must be on behalf of an individual student only. Group or class action grievances are not permitted. This charge must also clearly specify the informal consultation attempts made and described in Section A. 3. The Executive Vice President, Student Learning will verify the completeness of the written charge and present the charge to the Grievance Committee within ten working days of receipt. 4. The Grievance Committee will review the charges made (Section B.2.) within five working days and request a response in writing from the person accused. This person must reply within ten working days. Upon receipt of this response, the committee shall meet and recommend to the President that (a) the case be dismissed or (b) the reasonable cause for a hearing exists. This action must take place within five working days. 5. The President will then either dismiss the case with the reasons set out in writing to both parties or request that the Grievance Committee hold a formal hearing. The President must take this action within five working days of receipt from the committee (Section B.4.). 6. Formal hearing procedures: a. A hearing will be called by the chairperson within fifteen working days of receipt of the President’s request (Section B.5.). b. Both parties will be asked to attend the hearing and will be given sufficient notice in writing as to the time and place. Notice shall be given by certified mail at least five working days prior to the hearing date. c. At the time of the hearing, the chairperson shall state the charge. The committee shall hear testimony, examine witnesses and receive all evidence pertaining to the charge. d. 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. e. The accused person and/or representative may be present as well as the aggrieved person and/or his/her rep-resentative. No other persons except scheduled single witnesses and the Grievance Committee members shall be present. f. The person making the charge shall assume the burden of proof. The rule of confidentiality shall prevail at all stages of the hearing. g. The committee shall judge the relevancy and weight of testimony and evidence. It shall make its findings on fact and limit investigation to the formal charge. It shall also make a recommendation for disposition of the charge to the college President. Actions in this procedure shall be completed within five working days. h. The committee shall submit its findings of fact and recommend action to both parties and to the President of the college. Upon receipt of the findings and recommendations, the President of the college shall: (1) concur with the committee’s recommendation. (2) not concur with the committee’s recommendation. (3) take alternative action. (4) state in writing the reasons for the action taken on the committee’s recom-mendation. The President shall act within ten working days. i. If either party does not agree with the decision of the college president at this time, an appeal may be made to the Chancellor of the Ventura County Community College District. j. If he/she is still dissatisfied with the decision, an appeal may be made to the Governing Board who shall render the final decision. k. Records of all proceedings shall be maintained by the college President in accordance with rules of confidentiality and board/statefederal laws, rules, regulations and contracts. Insertion of information regarding a case in employee’s personnel records will only be made in compliance with board/state/federal laws, rules, regulations and contracts. 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 I. Introduction Education Code Section 67385 requires that the governing board of each community college district adopt and implement clear, consistent, and written procedures to ensure that specific victims of sexual assault which occurred on campus property or during college sponsored events shall receive information regarding available treatment options and services, both on and off campus, as well as to ensure that the colleges will promptly respond to the option selected by the victim. Student Rights and Responsibilities 193 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 II. Definitions For the purpose of the legislation, the following definitions are offered: 1. “Specific population” and “specific victim” include students, faculty and staff. 2. “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. 3. “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. 4. “Official college sponsored events” include, but are not limited to, all classes off campus, field trips, or any event on the college calendar. 5. “Victim” of sexual assault is generally referred to here as being female, but could also include a male. III. College Policy Moorpark College exercises care to keep the campus free from conditions which increase the risk of crime. Crimes of rape and other forms of sexual assault will not be tolerated on campus. The Ventura County Community College District Code of Student 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 Code of Student 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 followup services as needed. IV. Guidelines, Procedures and Personnel Responsible for Responding to a Sexual Assault Incident The INDIVIDUAL INITIALLY NOTIFIED about the sexual assault will provide a secure setting for the victim. (This could be an unoccupied office or classroom, a well-lighted area or, ideally, the Student Health Services Office.) The Campus Police Office and the HEALTH SERVICES COORDINATOR should be notified, if possible. The involved college personnel should then: 1. Listen to the victim’s needs. 2. Assess the situation. Determine the seriousness of the victim’s injuries; call “911” if injuries are severe and transportation is needed by ambulance to a hospital. 3. Ask the victim what she/he wants to do. A consent form (available in English or Spanish) may be completed by the victim for any of the following options: a) Does the victim want to be taken to a hospital or private doctor’s office? Does the victim want to contact a friend or family member? If the victim does not want to contact anyone, a campus police officer may take the victim to the hospital. If possible, a female should accompany the victim if the officer is male. b) Does the victim want to have the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence contacted? The mission of the Coalition is to coordinate and implement services to the victim of sexual assault. c) Does the victim want to report the incident to police? NOTE: If the victim is younger than 18, the sexual assault must be reported to the police. If the victim is 18 years or older, it is the victim’s decision whether or not to involve the police. (California law requires hospitals to report injuries by criminal act to a law enforcement agency.) 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 RASAC advocate 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 OFFCAMPUS EVENT and it is not possible to contact the CAMPUS POLICE, then the INDIVIDUAL INITIALLY NOTIFIED will contact the LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY if the victim is under 18 years old (if 18 or over, if the victim wishes). FOLLOW UP PROCEDURES BY COLLEGE STAFF: The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING and CAMPUS POLICE LIEUTENANT will do a follow-up interview with the victim to inform her/him of the legal options available for filing a civil suit or a criminal action. If she/he wants to pursue criminal action, the appropriate police department will conduct the follow-up criminal investigation. Student Rights and Responsibilities Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 194 The COORDINATOR OF HEALTH SERVICES will provide the victim with information on the treatment and counseling of sexual assault and provide referrals for appropriate assistance such as the COLLEGE PSYCHOLOGIST (or alternative counseling services) and the COLLEGE PHYSICIAN. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available. The ASSOCIATE VICE CHANCELLOR OF PERSONNEL SERVICES, 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. V. Legal Reporting Requirements and Procedures The reporting of rape and other forms of sexual assault follows the same procedures as the reporting of any crime. No special information is required, but the report needs to include certain standard information such as where the incident occurred, to whom (identified by name and age) and exactly what happened. Once a victim of sexual assault has chosen to notify authorities about the assault and chooses to pursue prosecution, a medical-legal examination should be performed as soon after the assault as possible and within hours for evidence. VI. List of Campus Services and Personnel Available to Assist with Incidents of Sexual Assault. Campus Police, ext 1455; Campus Health Center, ext 1413; Extended Campus Office, ext 1406. VII. Procedures for Ongoing Case Management Follow-up intervention may be provided with the victim’s consent and 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. ACADEMIC COUNSELORS may assist with developing an education plan. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING or VICE CHANCELLOR OF PERSONNEL SERVICES will initiate disciplinary procedures and inform the victim of the status of any disciplinary actions and the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING will keep the COLLEGE PRESIDENT informed. The following individuals may also be contacted, as appropriate, on a needto- know basis by the aforementioned administrators: Coordinator, Disabled Student Services, Division Directors, Instructors, Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Personnel Services, Public Information Officer. VIII. Procedures to Guarantee Confidentiality In all associations with the public, the media, family and friends of the victim, and in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and the Buckley Amendment, the name of the victim and/or specific details of the assault will be released only when essential to the health and safety of the individual assaulted or that of other members of the campus community. The PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER will be kept informed and will interface with the media, general public, students and staff. Other campus personnel dealing with the incident should refer any inquiries to the public information office. In addition, and in full accordance with Chapter 593 of the Education Code, no person, persons, agency or organization permitted access to student records (including security records about incidents involving the college’s students) shall permit access to any information obtained from those records by any other person, persons, agency or organization WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE STUDENTS INVOLVED. However, the victim of any sexual assault which is the basis of any disciplinary action taken by the community college shall be permitted access to that information in compliance with the Buckley Amendment. Access to this information shall consist of a notice of the results of any disciplinary action taken by the college and the results of any appeal. This information shall be provided to the victim within three days following the said disciplinary action or appeal. IX. Information Regarding Other Options Criminal Actions: Once an incident of sexual assault has been reported to the appropriate police department by college personnel, it is up to the police department to collect information, including the legal/medical exam, and to investigate the matter. The information is then turned over to the District Attorney’s office to determine if criminal prosecution is appropriate. The District Attorney’s office has the ultimate responsibility to determine whether the incident is a criminal offense and to bring it before the courts for punitive action against the assailant. Punitive consequences can include fines, probation and incarceration. If there is not sufficient evidence for the case to be passed on to the District Attorney, the police may decide to initiate an investigation to gather the necessary information which could lead to a prosecution. Civil Actions: If the victim of the sexual assault decides that she/he wants to pursue a civil action for damages against the perpetrator, then the victim should consult with an attorney for the civil legal action. The District Attorney’s office is reluctant to refer to any particular civil attorney, but the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence has a complete referral list of local attorneys with whom they have had experience. In addition, the names of attorneys may be obtained through the Ventura County Bar Association. Disciplinary Process through the College: Various forms of discipline may be imposed on a student who is guilty of misconduct ranging from reprimand, probation, and suspension, to expulsion. The student disciplinary procedures of the college are described in this catalog. They are initiated by the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING. Faculty and staff are subject to the college’s disciplinary action policies. Mediation Services: Mediation between any of the “specific population” involved in a sexual assault incident at the college is available and may be arranged through the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT LEARNING. Academic Assistance 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. Student Rights and Responsibilities 195 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Student Conduct Code Standards of Student Conduct (E.C.S. 66300) In joining the academic community, the student enjoys the right and shares the responsibility in exercising the freedom to learn.

A charge of misconduct may be imposed upon a student for violating provisions of college regulations and the State Education and Administrative Codes. Where a student is subject to a charge of misconduct, such charge shall be processed in accordance with the following policy and procedure. Disciplinary action may be imposed upon a student by an instructor, an administrator or the Governing Board for proven misconduct or actual violation of specified college rules and state regulations. Instructors and administrators may place students on probation or temporary exclusion with respect to actions in a classroom, on campus or at a college-sponsored activity within the procedures specified in this document. The Executive Vice President, Student Learning shall have the power to impose suspension and to recommend expulsion.

Student Conduct: Disciplinary Action Student conduct must conform to the Student Rules of Conduct established by the Governing Board of the Ventura County Community College District in collaboration with college administrators and students. Violations of such rules are subject to the following types of disciplinary actions which are to be administered by appropriate college authorities against students who stand in violation. The Ventura County Community College District has established due process for the administration of the penalties enumerated here. Penalties are listed in degree of severity. College authorities will de-termine the appropriate penalty(ies): 1. WARNING* -- Notice to the student that continuation or repetition of specified conduct may be cause for other disciplinary action. 2. REPRIMAND* -- Written reprimand for violation of specified rules. A reprimand serves to place on record that a student’s conduct in a specific instance does not meet the standards expected at the college. A person receiving a reprimand is notified that this is a warning that continued conduct of the type described in the reprimand may result in a formal action against the student. *Note: Warnings and reprimands may be appealed directly to the President. They are not subject to a student con-duct hearing. 3. DISCIPLINARY PROBATION -- Exclusion from participation in privileges or extracurricular college activities set forth in the notice of disciplinary probation involves notification in writing of the rea-son for disciplinary probation to the student(s) or president of the student organization involved. 4. RESTITUTION -- Reimbursement for damage or for misappropriation of property. Reimbursement may take the form of appropriate service to repair or otherwise com-pensate for damage. 5. SUMMARY SUSPENSION -- A summary suspension is for the purposes of investigation. It is a means of relieving the tension of the student body or individual class due to a serious infraction of student behavior standards, removing a threat to the well-being of the students, or removing for the good order of the college a stu-dent or students whose presence would prevent the continued normal conduct of the academic community. Summary suspension is limited to that period of time necessary to ensure that the purpose of the summary suspension is accomplished and in any case, no more than a maximum of five school days. Summary suspension is a type of suspension other than that ordinarily invoked by the instructor for disciplinary reasons in the classroom. The college President, Executive Vice President, Student Learning, or other staff member designated by the President may summarily suspend a student when he or she deems it necessary for the safety and welfare of the college. 6. DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION -- Disciplinary suspension follows a hearing based on due process. It shall be invoked by the college President, appropriate administrator, or other staff member designated by the President, upon the student for misconduct when other corrective measures have failed or when the seriousness of the situation warrants such action. 7. EXPULSION -- An expulsion is a long term or permanent denial of all campus privileges including class attendance. The Governing Board may expel a student who has been convicted of a crime arising out of a campus disturbance, or after a hearing by a campus body, and has been found to have willfully disrupted the orderly operation of the campus.

Drug Free Campus Policy Standards of Conduct A student enrolling in Moorpark College assumes an obligation to conduct him/herself in a manner compatible with the college’s function as an educational institution. Student conduct at Moorpark College must conform to established rules and regulations. Violations of such rules and regulations, for which students are subject to disciplinary action, include, but are not limited to the following: Possession, use or distribution of alcoholic beverages, narcotics, or other dangerous drugs on campus or at any off-campus sponsored college activity (except for legally prescribed for personal use). Any act, defined as a felony or misdemeanor under the laws of the State of California or which violates adopted college rules or regulations. Section 10603 of the Education Code provides: “The governing board of any school district may make and enforce all rules and regulations needful for the government and discipline of the schools under its charge. Any governing board shall enforce the provisions of this section by suspending, or if necessary, expelling a pupil who refuses or neglects to obey any such rules or regulations.” The Dangers of Drug Use Drug and alcohol use produces a range of negative effects, ranging from decreased performance and poor judgment to serious conditions, including damage to the development of an unborn fetus. Physical and psychological addiction to these substances is a very real risk. For more specific information, visit the Student Health Center (Admin. Bldg., 805-378-1413) to pick up a wealth of pamphlets, or to make an appointment with a health professional. Student Rights and Responsibilities If you or someone you know has a problem with drug or alcohol use, confidential and non-punitive help is available through the Student Health Center (Admin. Bldg., 805-378-1413), including referrals to the College Psychologist and/or to community resources. Moorpark College can provide the information and assistance needed to help students make healthy, positive decisions. Penalties for Campus Drug Use Warning The College is required by federal law to take disciplinary action up to and including suspension or expulsion from school for students convicted of a campus drug offense. Students who have been convicted of certain drug-related Federal or State offenses may have their eligibility for Federal benefits, including financial aid, suspended. Students with three or more drug-related convictions may permanently lose eligibility for Federal financial aid. State and Federal penalties apply to anyone convicted of the manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of controlled sub-stances Misdemeanor convictions for campus drug use can result in a fine and incarceration of up to a year in a County jail. Relatively few drug-related infractions may be considered misdemeanor offenses, however. Most drug use convictions are defined as felony acts. Felony convictions for campus drug use can result in a substantial fine and a lengthy jail sentence in state prison. Convictions for manufacturing or possession for sale or use of substances are felony offenses. Moorpark College is committed to being a drug-free campus. Remember confidential and non-punitive help is also available in the Student Health Center.

Academic Freedom The teacher is 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. The teacher is entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing his or her subject, but should be careful not to introduce into the teaching controversial matter which has no relation to the subject. The college or university teacher is a citizen, a member of a learned profession, and an officer of an educational institution. When a teacher speaks or writes as a citizen, he or she should be free from institutional Censorship or discipline, but this special position in the community imposes special obligations. As a person of learning and an educational officer, a teacher should remember that the public may judge the teaching profession and the institution by his or her utterances. Hence a teacher 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 and institutional spokesman.

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.

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.
