History Moorpark College was established in 1963 by the Governing Board of the Ventura County Community College District. Soon after, a 134-acre site on Moorpark’s eastern city boundary was secured in a combination donation/purchase from the Strathearns, a local ranching family. In 1965, taxpayers passed an $8 million bond to build the first phase of the district’s second community college. Construction of the Administration, Library, Science, Technology, Campus Center, Gymnasium and Maintenance buildings began in 1966. With the paint barely dry and remnants of construction rubble still evident, Moorpark College opened on September 11, 1967. Dr. John Collins, the College’s first president, greeted nearly 1,400 students and 50 new faculty members on that day. Enrollment doubled in the first few years as the College added vocational education to its role of preparing students for transfer to four-year schools. Dr. Robert Lombardi became the College’s second president in 1971. Dr. Ray Hearon held the longest term as president, serving from 1974-1989. The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 to spearhead construction of an athletic stadium, amphitheater and observatory. In 1985, the 4,000-seat stadium was named for Paul Griffin, Jr., a local developer and major benefactor. In 1987, the Carlsberg Amphitheater and Charles Temple observatory were dedicated as part of the College’s 20th anniversary celebration. During the 1980s, several other buildings were completed: Applied Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities/Social Science, Music, and Student Services. In 1989, the Center for Learning Assistance Services opened for service. Dr. Stanley Bowers served as president from 1989-1991, followed by Roger Boedecker, who served from 1991-1992. Dr. James Walker became president in 1992, but was called away to serve as Interim Chancellor in 1995. Dr. Darlene Pacheco served as interim president during Walker’s absence from 1995-1996. Fiscal constraint, brought about by the state’s economic downturn, stalled growth at the College in the early 1990s. Despite hard times, the College completed state- funded construction of the Communications Building (1991) and the Performing Arts Center (1995). The forensics team maintained national ranking while the athletic teams continued to dominate the Western State Conference. In 1997, the Child Development Center and Disabled Students Center were expanded. In 1998, two new conference rooms were built in the Campus Center and an acoustic shell was installed on the Main Stage of the Performing Arts Center. In 1999, the 27,000 square foot Fred Kavli Science Center opened, housing the math, science and computer studies programs. This facility also provides student access to a 50-station computer lab. In 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register for classes on-line at: www.moorparkcollege.edu. In 2000, a high school for high potential juniors and seniors opened on the Moor- park College campus. In 2001 the first High School at Moorpark College graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura County voters passed Measure S, a bond that 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 17,000 students by the year 2015 and bond monies will fund 23 new or renovated classroom buildings and related facilities.. In July, 2002, Dr. Eva Conrad became Moorpark’s eighth president replacing Walker who retired. Fall 2002 enrollment swelled to 15,400 and work began on a new Library and Learning Resources Center. In 2004 the college’s first bond project was completed, a parking lot renovation that added 600 spaces. In 2005, the second bond project was completed, the installation Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 4 wELCOME TO MOORPARK COLLEGE of an all-weather track and artificial turf playing field. In September 2005, the new Library/Learning Resources building opened. A new child development center opened in January of 2007. February 2007 marked the beginning of an endangered butterfly species captive rearing program at America’s Teaching Zoo. The Palos Verdes blue Butterfly’s primary rearing site is in San Pedro on government land. In May, 2007, the college unveiled an updated seal in preparation for adoption of a whole new logo. The college had used the seal since it opened in 1967 as its only logo. over the years college staff that didn’t want to use the seal created their own logo for their documents. In 1997, graphics professor Ted Phillips created a 30th anniversary logo that featured cypress trees and the fountain. In 1998, college officials adopted this logo for business cards and stationary. In 2006, the college chose Ventura-based BBM&D to update the seal as well as design a new logo that can be used on stationery, in all printed outreach materials and on the web. The new logo will be adopted at the start of the college’s 40th year in August. Then, the college will use the seal for ceremonial purposes and official transcript documents and will use the new logo for all corporate identity and marketing projects. The old library was renamed Fountain Hall and opened for classes in Fall, 2007. The 2008-2009 Academic year is dedicated to college wide study on the Democracy. Through its continued attention to quality and innovation, Moorpark College has become one of the top community colleges in the nation. Based on enrollment Moorpark ranks first in the state for transfer to the University of California and California State University systems. No local college does a better job preparing students for their future. Moorpark College graduates are making meaningful contributions to both the public and private sectors in Ventura County, the state and the nation.

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 Registration and Records, located in the Administration Building. Enrollment and registration is 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 an “express” 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 aims: • To provide a learning experience that encourages independent and creative thought; • To promote critical reading, writing and thinking as necessary tools for continued academic success; and • To prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions. The Honors Program offers 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, making at least one formal scholarly presentation before a body of their peers, attending two extracurricular activities per year and maintaining an overall GPA of 3.0. Entrance into the Honors Program is based on a high school GPA of 3.25 or college GPA of 3.0 with 12 units of transferable college-level courses. 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.

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 PREREQUISITES: A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must possess prior to enrollment and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed in the course or program. It is a condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in a course or educational program. For example, a student enrolling in general chemistry will have difficulty without adequate preparation in algebra. Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of “C” or better prior to registration in a specific course. 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 Registration 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. Thestudenthastheknowledgeorabilitytosucceedinthecoursedespite 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, 9.0 units in summer. Course enrollment fees are waived for Special High School Admission students. All other fees apply. Moorpark College grants college credit only.

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, drop the student from the class. 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 absence or 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. intercollegiate Athletics Moorpark College offers a wide variety of programs for men and women interested in competing at an intercollegiate level. The Raiders field the following teams for women: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, track and field, and volleyball.

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 Education- approved 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. Student Services The policy of the Ventura County Community College District is in compliance with the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1998, emphasizing that no financial aid applicant will be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, marital status, age, sex, or physical impairment. For some programs, financial aid eligibility requires a minimum of six (6) units of enrollment each semester. Continued eligibility requires successful completion of 70% of total units attempted with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. Refer to the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard located in the Financial Aid office. Students interested in applying for financial aid should visit the Financial Aid office to obtain an application and detailed instructions.

Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 24 Academic Policies and Standards Academic Policies and Standards Course Credit and Grades Grading Practices Work in all courses acceptable in fulfillment of the requirements for associate degrees, certificates, diplomas, licenses, or baccalaureate-level work shall be graded in accordance with the provisions adopted by the District Governing Board for the following sections which relate to the letter grading scale, the Credit/No Credit options, or Credit by Examination. Grading System The quality of a student’s work will be measured by the following letter grades: Symbol Definition Grade Points/Unit A.......Excellent ........................................4 points per semester unit B ......Good...............................................3 points per semester unit C ......Satisfactory.....................................2 points per semester unit D......Passing, 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 numeri cal 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 averages. Course Credit and Grades................................................ 25 Course Repetition............................................................ 27 Withdrawal from Class.................................................... 28Credit by Exam, Transfer Credit...................................... 29Academic Policies andStandards 25 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Academic Policies and Standards RD - Report Delayed The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the Registrar only. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanent symbol as soon as possible. “RD” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. W - Withdrawal 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 Note: Credit/No Credit will be changed to Pass/No Pass beginning 2009/2010. 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 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/NoCredit option) is comprised of coursesdesignated 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 CR/NC 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 CR/NC 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 CR/NC 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 CR/ NC 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 CR/NC 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 CR/NC basis, especially for satisfaction of requirements for the major. 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 and Responsibilities section. Academic Dishonesty 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 instancesofcheating orplagiarismthatmayoccur intheir 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. Further, instructors have the responsibility to report instances of cheating to their Deans in that cheating in any form is a violation of the Moorpark College Student Code of Conduct and as such is subject to investigation, charges of misconduct, and disciplinary consequences.. 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 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 inthe 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 instructor from Registration and Records. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 26 Academic Policies and Standards 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. Remedial Course Limit The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) offer courses which are defined as remedial: “remedial coursework” refers to pre- collegiate basic skills courses in reading, writing, computation, learning skills, study skills and English as a Second Language which are designated by the college district as not applicable to the Associate Degree. Students enrolled in remedial courses will receive unit credit and will be awarded an academic record symbol on transcripts as defined under other academic policies. However, the units earned in these remedial courses do not apply toward certificates of achievement or associate degrees. These courses are designated by the letter “N” on the student transcript. No students shall receive more than 30 semester units of credit for remedial coursework. This limitation of 30 units applies to all remedial coursework completed at any of the campuses of the college district (Moorpark, oxnard and Ventura Colleges). It does not apply to remedial coursework completed at colleges outside the District. Students transferring from other educational institutions outside VCCCD shall be permitted to begin with a “clean slate” with regard to the remedial limitation. The 30-unit limit applies to all remedial coursework attempted; however, in the event that some of these 30 units are substandard and a student successfully repeats one or more courses in which substandard grades were earned, then the 30-unit limit would be modified by the application of the Course Repetition Policy. The office of Student Learning shall maintain a list for each academic year of remedial courses. Students should be aware that this policy applies to all students enrolled in remedial coursework. However, students receiving financial aid have more restrictive limitations imposed upon them by the federal government. Students are advised to contact the Financial Aid office for details. 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 theofficial academic record shallbeplaced onprogress probation when thepercentage of all units in which the student has enrolledand 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 27 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Academic Policies and Standards 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.moor parkcollege.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.). Studentsmayviewtheirownacademicrecordsonlinebyvisiting 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 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. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 28 Academic Policies and Standards 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 Moor- park 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 Servicerecommended 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 EducationSupport(DANTES)ortheUnitedStatesArmed 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. 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 29 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Academic Policies and Standards 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 byexamination 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.). A $20.00 per unit non-refundable fee will be assessed to students petitioning for Credit by Exam. Approved petitions must be on file with the administering instructor by Friday of the tenth week of the full-length semester. The examination is to be administered prior to the last day of the final examination period. Credit (CRE) is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of “C” orbetter. Transcript entries shall distinguish creditsobtained 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, World Languages, 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.

Keep records to track dates, places, times, witnesses, and the nature of the harassment. A Final Precaution Consensual sexual relationships between faculty and student, or between supervisor and employee, while not expressly forbidden, are generally deemed unwise.

Purpose Students are encouraged to pursue academic studies and other college sponsored 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 complaining 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 of Student Learning or designee. 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. 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 of Student Learning or designee 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 of Student Learning or designee 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 of Student Learning or designee 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.) withinfiveworkingdays and request a responseinwriting from theperson 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. 35 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Students’ Right to Know d. Both parties shall have the right to present statements, testimony, evidence and witnesses. Each party shall havethe 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 representative. 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.

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.

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 campusesfreefromconditionswhichincreasetheriskofcrime. Crimesof 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. 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 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 36 Students’ Right to Know Code, as applicable. Even if prosecution does not take place, the campus may pursue disciplinary action. The Board of Trustees is also committed to provide prompt, compassionate services to those individuals who are sexually assaulted and to provide follow-up services as needed. IV. Guidelines, Procedures and Personnel Responsible for Responding to a Sexual Assault Incident The individual initially notified about the sexual assault will provide a secure setting for the victim. (This could be an unoccupied office or classroom, a well-lighted area or, ideally, the Student Health Services office.) The CAMPUS PoLICE oFFICE and the Health Services Coordinator should be notified, if possible. The involved college personnel should then: 1. Listen to the victim’s needs. 2. Assess the situation. Determine the seriousness of the victim’s injuries; call 911 if injuries are severe and transportation is needed by ambulance to a hospital. 3. Ask the victim what she/he wants to do. A consent form (available in English or Spanish) may be completed by the victim for any of the following options: a) Does the victim want to be taken to a hospital or private doctor’s office? Does the victim want to contact a friend or family member? If the victim does not want to contact anyone, a campus police officer may take the victim to the hospital. If possible, a female should accompany the victim if the officer is male. b) Does the victim want to have the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence contacted? The mission of the Coalition is to coordinate and implement services to the victim of sexual assault. c) Does the victim want to report the incident to police? NoTE: If the victim is younger than 18, the sexual assault must be reported to the police. If the victim is 18 years or older, it is the victim’s decision whether or not to involve the police. (California law requires hospitals to report injuries by criminal act to a law enforcement agency.) If the victim of a sexual assault decides to involve the police, the CAMPUS PoLICE LIEUTENANT will notify the appropriate police department and may request an officer of like gender of the victim for the report. The officer will take a police report, transport, accompany or meet the victim at an appropriate medical facility for the evidentiary examination, may conduct a follow-up interview, and may transport the victim home with consent. The CooRDINAToR oF HEALTH SERVICES will notify the parent, guardian, spouse, or friend, if appropriate, and with the consent of the victim. Upon consent of the victim, the CooRDINAToR oF HEALTH SERVICES may arrange for college personnel or a community Rape and Sexual Assault Counselor to accompany the victim, if appropriate, through hospital procedures and encounters with law enforcement agencies. The CAMPUS PoLICE LIEUTENANT will complete a confidential incident report and keep records of the incident for statistical purposes. As early as possible in the process outlined above, the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING or the administrator on duty at the college should be notified. That individual should go to the victim’s location and assist in the administration of these procedures, as well as notifying other campus and/or District officials, as appropriate. IN THE EVENT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT INCIDENT oCCURS WHEN THE CAMPUS IS NoT oPEN (“AFTER HoURS”), THE INDIVIDUAL INITIALLY NoTIFIED about the sexual assault will notify the campus police by calling on any campus phone (ext 1455); the CAMPUS PoLICE LIEUTENANT will follow the same procedures as described above. IN THE EVENT THE SEXUAL ASSAULT INCIDENT oCCURS AT AN oFF- CAMPUS EVENT and it is not possible to contact the CAMPUS PoLICE, then the INDIVIDUAL INITIALLY NoTIFIED will contact the LoCAL LAW ENFoRCEMENT AUTHoRITY if the victim is under 18 years old (if 18 or over, if the victim wishes). Follow Up Procedures By College Staff: The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING and CAMPUS PoLICE LIEUTENANT will do a follow-up interview with the victim to inform her/him of the legal options available for filing a civil suit or a criminal action. If she/he wants to pursue criminal action, the appropriate police department will conduct the follow-up criminal investigation. The CooRDINAToR oF HEALTH SERVICES will provide the victim with information on the treatment and counseling for sexual assault and provide referrals for appropriate assistance such as the CoLLEGE PSYCHoLo- GIST, CoLLEGE PHYSICIAN or alternative Community Resources. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENToF STUDENT LEARNING will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available. The ASSoCIATE VICE CHANCELLoR oF HUMAN RESoURCES, if appropriate, will explain disciplinary procedures and actions available in cases involving faculty or staff. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING will be responsible for ensuring that all follow-up procedures are completed. V. Legal Reporting Requirements and Procedures The reporting of rape and other forms of sexual assault follows the same procedures as the reporting of any crime. No special information is required, but the report needs to include certain standard information such as where the incident occurred, to whom (identified by name and age) and exactly what happened. once a victim of sexual assault has chosen to notify authorities about the assault and chooses to pursue prosecution, a medical legal examination should be performed as soon after the assault as possible and within hours for evidence. VI. List of Campus Services and Personnel Available to Assist with Incidents of Sexual Assault. Campus Police, ext 1455; Campus Health Center, ext 1413; Extended Campus office, ext 1406; Sexual Assault Intake Facilitator, ext 1408. 37 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Students’ Right to Know VII. Procedures for Ongoing Case Management With the victim’s consent, follow-up intervention may be provided, as needed, by the CoLLEGE PSYCHoLoGIST for psychological counseling. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING will track the victim’s academic progress and will assist, when requested, by arranging academic counseling, tutoring, and other services deemed appropriate. The EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING or the ASSoCIATE VICE CHANCELLoR oF HUMAN RESoURCES will initiate disciplinary procedures and inform the victim of the status of any disciplinary actions and the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING will keep the CoLLEGE PRESIDENT informed. The following individuals may also be contacted, as appropriate, on a need-to-know basis by the aforementioned administrators: ACCESS Director, Division Deans, Instructors, Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Personnel Services or Public Information officer. VIII. Procedures to Guarantee Confidentiality In all associations with the public, the media, family and friends of the victim, and in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act and the Buckley Amendment, the name of the victim and/or specific details of the assault will be released only when essential to the health and safety of the individual assaulted or that of other members of the campus community. The PUBLIC INFoRMATIoN oFFICER will be kept informed and will interface with the media, general public, students and staff. other campus personnel dealing with the incident should refer any inquiries to the public information office. In addition, and in full accordance with Chapter 593 of the Education Code, no person, persons, agency or organization permitted access to student records (including security records about incidents involving the college’s students) shall permit access to any information obtained from those records by any other person, persons, agency or organization WITHoUT THE WRITTEN CoNSENT oF THE STUDENTS INVoLVED. The victim of any sexual assault which is the basis of any disciplinary action taken by the community college shall be permitted access to that information in compliance with the Buckley Amendment. Access to this information shall consist of a notice of the results of any disciplinary action taken by the college and the results of any appeal. This information shall be provided to the victim within three days following the said disciplinary action or appeal. IX. Information Regarding Other Options Criminal Actions: once an incident of sexual assault has been reported to the appropriate police department by college personnel, it is up to the police department to collect information, including the legal/medical exam, and to investigate the matter. The information is then turned over to the District Attorney’s office to determine if criminal prosecution is appropriate. The District Attorney’s office has the ultimate responsibility to determine whether the incident is a criminal offense and to bring it before the courts for punitive action against the assailant. Punitive consequences can include fines, probation and incarceration. If there is not sufficient evidence for the case to be passed on to the District Attorney, the police may decide to initiate an investigation to gather the necessary information which could lead to a prosecution. Civil Actions: If the victim of the sexual assault decides that she/he wants to pursue a civil action for damages against the perpetrator, then the victim should consult with an attorney for the civil legal action. The District Attorney’s office is reluctant to refer to any particular civil attorney, but the Ventura County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence has a complete referral list of local attorneys with whom they have had experience. In addition, the names of attorneys may be obtained through the Ventura County Bar Association. Disciplinary Process through the College: Various forms of discipline may be imposed on a student who is guilty of misconduct ranging from reprimand, probation, and suspension to expulsion. The student disciplinary procedures of the college are described in this catalog. They are initiated by the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING. Faculty and staff are subject to the college’s disciplinary action policies. Mediation Services: Mediation between any of the “specific population” involved in a sexual assault incident at the college is available and may be arranged through the EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT oF STUDENT LEARNING. Academic Assistance 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 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. Like members of the academic community, the students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the standards of the college that are designed to perpetuate its educational purposes. Students shall respect and obey civil and criminal law, and shall be subject to legal penalties for violation of laws of the city, county, state, and nation. 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 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 38 Students’ Right to Know Executive Vice President of Student Learning or his/her designee shall have the power to impose suspension and to recommend expulsion. Students are subject to charges of misconduct for any of the following acts on college owned or controlled property or at a college sponsored activity: 1. Willful disobedience to directions of college officials acting in performance of their duties. 2. Violation of collegerules and regulations includingthose concerning student organizations, the use of college facilities, or the time, place and manner of public expression or distribution of materials. 3. Dishonesty, such as cheating, or knowingly furnishing false information to the college. 4. Unauthorized entry to or use of the college facilities. 5. Forgery, alteration, or misuse of college documents, records or identification. 6. obstruction or disruption of classes, administration, disciplinary procedures, or authorized college activities. 7.

Disorderly, lewd, indecent, or offensive conduct. 9. obscene, libelous or slanderous expression, or expression which so incites students as to create a clear and present danger of the commission of unlawful acts on the college’s campus, the violation of lawful college regulations or the substantial disruption of the college’s orderly operation. 10. Assault or battery, abuse, or any threat of force or violence directed toward any member of the college community or campus visitor engaged in authorized activities. 11. Use, possession, distribution of alcoholic beverages, narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, or other dangerous drugs, or presence on campus while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, narcotics, hallucinogenic drugs, marijuana, or other dangerous drugs, except as expressly permitted by law. 12. Possession, while on the college campus or at an on or off campus college sponsored function, of any of the following weapons (except persons given permission by the college President or his/her designated representatives or members of the law enforcement agencies such as police officers); any instrument or weapon of any kind commonly known as blackjack, sling shot, fire bomb, billy club, sand club, sandbag, metal knuckles; any dirk, dagger, fire-arm (loaded or unloaded), such as pistol, revolver, rifle, etc.; any knife having a blade longer than five inches, any switch-blade longer than two inches, any razor with an unguarded blade; any metal pipe or bar used or intended to be used as a club; or any item used to threaten bodily harm. 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 determine 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 conduct 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 reason 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 compensate 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 student 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 of 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. 39 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Students’ Right to Know Student Conduct: Due Process A.

Academic Freedom - the faculty are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the authorities of the institution. The faculty are 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. College or university faculty are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When faculty speak or write as citizens, he or she should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but this special position in the community imposes special obligations. As persons of learning and educational officers, faculty should remember that the public may judge the teaching profession and the institution by his or her utterances. Hence faculty should, at all times, be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should respect others’ opinions, and should make every effort to indicate that he or she is not an institutional spokesman. 41 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 Career, Graduation andtransferPlanning Your Education................................................ 43 List of Degrees and Certificates........................................ 44 Degrees............................................................................. 48GE Requirements............................................................. 55 Graduation Information................................................. 56 Transfer Information....................................................... 59Career, Graduation andtransferPlanning Your Education................................................ 43 List of Degrees and Certificates........................................ 44 Degrees............................................................................. 48GE Requirements............................................................. 55 Graduation Information................................................. 56 Transfer Information....................................................... 59 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 42 PLAnninG YOuR EDuCAtiOn COunSELinG SERviCES COunSELinG FACuLtY Patricia Ewins Corey Wendt (Department Chair) Dean of Student Learning Denice Avila Mike Johnson Performing Arts & Student Life Frank Bianchino Pam Kennedy-Luna (805) 378-1408 Chuck Brinkman Letrisha Mai (Articulation Officer) Anitra Evans Candace Peyton inSTRuCTiOnAL PROGRAM Traci Franks Donna Proske-Allyn Counseling (COUN) Judi Gould Danita Redd Edna Ingram Ofelia Romero-Motlagh Diane Sukiennik Make Educational Choices to Support Your Goals Why are you attending Moorpark College?

The governing board may make exceptions to the residency requirements in any instance in which it is determined that an injustice or hardship would otherwise be placed upon an individual student. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 48 Moorpark College General Education Philosophy Statement An Associate Degree signifies more than an accumulation of units; it signifies the successful completion of a pattern of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities and insights that lead to the fulfillment of individual human potential. Therefore, in addition to the Basic Requirements for graduation relating to units, residency, and competency in reading, written expression, and mathematics, students must also satisfy General Education requirements as required by Title 5 of the California Education Code and by Ventura County Community College District Governing Board Policy. The philosophy underlying “general education” is that no discipline is an isolated endeavor; instead, each relies upon and contributes to a common body of knowledge, ideas, intellectual processes, cultural traditions, and modes of perception. one’s understanding of a specific subject area is greatly enhanced and enriched by knowledge in and experience with other disciplines. Thus, the General Education requirements are designed to introduce students to the variety of means through which people comprehend the modern world and fulfill their potential and, in so doing, serve family, community, and society. The General Education requirements reflect the conviction that those who receive a degree must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts, and methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. College-educated persons must be able to use their knowledge to evaluate and appreciate the physical environment, the culture, and the society in which they live. In addition, they must have a good self-understanding and the capacity to adapt to an ever-changing and global environment through an ongoing intellectual curiosity and commitment to life-long learning. Upon successful completion of all of the General Education requirements, students will be able to: • Understand the modes of inquiry and critique used in the natural, social, and behavioral sciences and the humanities • Understand and appreciate the role of culture and the arts in society and in one’s personal life • Think logically and communicate effectively • Understand and adopt the concepts of personal health and fitness to enhance the quality of life • Recognize the multitude of diversities in the physical and human environments and how these diversities impact individuals and society • Understand the connections among the various disciplines • Use a variety of means to find information, examine it critically, and apply it appropriately • Work ethically and effectively with others • Apply the skills necessary for successful living in an ever-changing and global environment • Become productive workers and life-long learners to meet the objectives of general education A. Natural Sciences – Courses in the natural sciences are those which examine the physical universe, its life forms, and its natural phenomena. To satisfy the General Education requirement in natural sciences, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an appreciation and understanding of the scientific methods, and encourage an understanding of the relationships between science and other human activities. This category would include introductory or integrative courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, general physical science, geology, meteorology, oceanography, physical geography, physical anthropology, physics, or other scientific disciplines. B. Social and Behavioral Sciences – Courses in the social and behavioral sciences are those which focus on people as members of society. To satisfy the general education requirement in social and behavioral sciences, a course shall be designed to develop an awareness of the method of inquiry used by the social and behavioral sciences. It shall be designed to stimulate critical thinking about the ways people act and have acted in response to their societies and should promote appreciation of how societies and social subgroups operate. This category would include introductory or integrative survey courses in cultural anthropology, cultural geography, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, or related disciplines. C. Humanities - Courses in the humanities are those which study the cultural activities and artistic expressions of human beings. To satisfy the general education requirement in the humanities, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures have responded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student develop aesthetic understanding and an ability to make value judgments. Such courses could include introductory or integrative courses in the arts, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, and religion. 49 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 D. Language and Rationality - Courses in language and rationality are those which develop for the student the principles and applications of language toward logical thought, clear and precise expression and critical evaluation of communication in whatever symbol system the student uses. 1. English Composition – Courses fulfilling the written composition requirement shall be designed to include both expository and argumentative writing. 2. Communication and Analytical Thinking – Courses fulfilling the communication and analytical thinking requirement include oral communication, mathematics, logic, statistics, computer languages and programming, and related disciplines. E. Health/Physical Education - Courses in health and physical education should help students develop the understanding and the skills necessary to maintain a healthful life. F. Ethnic/Women’s Studies - Courses in ethnic and women’s studies should help students develop an awareness of the diverse historical roots and an appreciation of the cultural contributions of minorities and women; lead to an understanding of the causes and consequences of socio-economic inequality based on race, sex or ethnicity; and explore ways of eliminating such inequities. Additionally, Division A – Natural Sciences is sub-divided into (1) Biological Science and (2) Physical Science; Division B – Social and Behavioral Sciences into (1) American History/Institutions and (2) Other Social Science; and Division C – Humanities into (1) Fine or Performing Arts and (2) Other Humanities.

NOTE: + Effective beginning Spring 2007 ^ Effective beginning Fall 2003 55 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 OTHER GRADuAtiOn inFORMAtiOn 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 the spring semesters. 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 Moorpark College 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 Moorpark College. Variance in Major Requirements occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major requirements as specified in the Moorpark College catalog due to circumstances 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 designated major or in general education. The petition forms are available in the Counseling Center. Catalog Rights/Continuous Enrollment A student remaining in continuous enrollment in regular sessions at one or more of the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) or at any other regionally accredited college or university, may meet the VCCCD graduation requirements in effect at the time of his or her entering or at any time thereafter. This applies only to graduation requirements and not to policies, procedures, or other regulations. Catalog rights/continuous enrollment are defined as attendance in at least one term each calendar year. Any academic record symbol entered on a transcript (A-F, CR, NC, P, NP, I, IP, RD, W) shall constitute enroll ment or attendance. A student who has not maintained continuous enrollment is considered to be under new requirements when returning unless the student is granted a petition/waiver for extenuating circumstances. This petition must be initiated by the student through a college counselor and approved by the appropriate dean or designee. Students must be aware that other governing agencies impose more restrictive limitations concern the definitions of continuous enrollment or continuous attendance. Guidelines for Additional Degree Any college in the Ventura County Community College District will award an additional associate degree under the following conditions: 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 General Studies Associate in Arts degree). 3. General education requirements earned for one degree may be applied toward another degree. 4. Candidate for an additional degree must complete 12 or more units of credit, in residence, at Moorpark College concurrent with or after the completion of requirements for the first associate degree. In addition, a candidate must be in attendance at Moor- park College 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 field by completing the requirements for that option (the additional degree) and all other major or courses as approved by the appropriate division. Appeals to the above policy may be submitted to the Dean of Student Services. Waivers may be granted under extenuating circumstances or when there has not been sufficient opportunity to enroll in required courses. Double Counting While a course might satisfy more than one general education requirement, it may not be counted more than once for these purposes. A course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a major or area of emphasis requirement.

Certification of General EducationAfter completing the IGETC or CSU GE patterns, you will need to see a counselor to request that your transfer pattern coursework be certified by the Records office. Students eligible for certification canalsoapplyforaCertificateofAchievement*.GeneralEducation certification means that your transfer pattern coursework at the college is officially recognized by the transfer institution as fulfill- ment of their lower division general education requirements for the bachelor’s degree. If you do not have your college coursework certified, you can be held accountable for the selected transferinstitution’s general education requirements once you begin your study at that institution. Partial certification in individual areas is also possible. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 58 COLLEGE/uniVERSitY PREPARAtiOn PAtHWAY General transfer information transfer of Credits Moorpark College is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is generally accredited throughout the country by reciprocal agreements with state departments of public instruction and other accrediting agencies. Students should keep in mind that recognition by a regional accrediting agency only supports the standing of the college and does not assure acceptance of all transfer students from that college. Students transfer on the basis of their individual records and according to the specific requirements of the institution to which they transfer. The need for careful planning of courses and the maintenance of high scholastic standards becomes imperative for all students who intend to transfer to other colleges and universities. The counseling office maintains a variety of transfer agreements with all public and selected private four-year colleges and universities in the state. This information is also available on the Web at www.assist.org Responsibility for Meeting transfer Requirements Academic counseling is available to students on an appointment basis. Counselors are a valuable resource in exploring options or defining the requirements in a particular field of study. They have the expertise to assist you with course selection, program planning, and questions concerning requirements for admission, majors, general education and transfer to a four-year college or university. However, it is each student’s responsibility to satisfy requirements for admission, preparation in the major and general education. To ensure academic success, schedule an appointment with a counselor on a regular basis. Amount of transfer Credit Granted While Moorpark College is accredited, there can be considerable variation in the total amount of credit granted by four-year colleges and universities for work done at this College. Further, there are some courses offered at Moorpark College that are not accepted for transfer credit at some four- year institutions. Students should become familiar with the maximum limits on transfer credit at the institution of their choice, as well as the transferability of individual courses they have chosen. Quality of Work Required In the evaluation of credits, colleges and universities often emphasize the quality of a student’s work rather than the quantity. A few schools having limited and selective enrollment will consider for admission only those transfer students with relatively high scholastic rank. Further, a department within the college or university may have established specific academic guidelines for prerequisites and other coursework in a given major. Students who plan to transfer should become familiar with the scholastic requirements of the transfer institution, as well as the specific requirements within their major. Preparation for transfer Most students attending Moorpark College can complete necessary transfer requirements for admission to four-year colleges or universities, including courses required in preparation for their selected major and general education requirements. The College has written contracts with four-year colleges and universities regarding transfer requirements which specify lower division requirements which may be completed at Moorpark College. Moorpark College courses have been carefully articulated as comparable to or acceptable in lieu of the required lower division major courses specified in the catalogs of the transfer institutions. These are known as “articulation agreements”. Articulation agreements for the California public four-year institution is available on the ASSIST website (see ASSIST below). Some majors, notably those requiring mathematics and/or natural sciences, demand adequate high school preparation to enable a student to transfer in a timely fashion. In addition to major requirements, Moorpark College students can satisfy general education or breadth requirements, as defined by the four-year college or university, in preparation for transfer. These requirements are listed in the Moorpark College Catalog for selected institutions. With careful planning, students who attend Moorpark College can satisfy all requirements for admission to baccalaureate degree-granting institu tions. Universities uniformly prioritize the importance of these several requirements. In order of importance, a student prepares for transfer by completing the following: 1. ADMISSIONS - Complete all three admissions requirements: a. Units (minimum number of units which transfer to school of choice). b. Scholarship (GPA in transfer courses). c. Subject area (a-g requirements of both CSU and UC). 2. SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSIONS - Consult your counselor concerning additional requirements which apply to selected universities and colleges and to selected majors. These requirements can affect your eligibility for admission. 3. MAJOR PREPARATION - Complete the lower division courses required for the major selected. This is particularly important for high- unit majors with sequential courses based on prerequisites. 4. GENERAL EDUCATION - Complete general education/breadth requirements. 59 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 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 public college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official repository of articulation for California’s public colleges and universities and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about student transfer in California. ASSIST is available at www.assist.org. 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. *NOTE: CAN has been discontinued by the California Community College System Office. Students currently enrolled in CAN courses will be able to finish their work as planned. The program will remain in effect for students currently participating in the process until 2009. Please check with the Counseling Department for additional information. transfer Admission Agreements The Transfer Admission Agreement is a contract of understanding between a community college, a participating four-year university and the student guaranteeing that upon completion of the conditions of the agreement, the student will be admitted to the university for the agreed term of enrollment. Interested students should see a counselor to determine eligibility and begin the Transfer Admission Agreement process. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 60 TRAnSFER TO THE CSu California State university The California State University’s (CSU) 23 campuses offer more than 1,800 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in 240 subject areas. The CSU provides the majority of the skilled professional workers that are critical to the state’s knowledge-based industries such as agriculture, engineering, business, technology, media, and computer science. In addition, the CSU is the state’s leading provider of graduates in services that are critical to the state, providing more than 80 percent of the college degrees in criminal justice, education, social work and public administration. over 450,000 students are enrolled at the CSU each year with more than 66% of CSU Bachelor’s degrees awarded to community college transfers. With proper program planning, students may complete lower division preparation at Moorpark College and transfer to the campus of their choice. • Humbolt • Chico • Maritime Academy • Sacramento • Sonoma • East Bay• San Jose • Monterey Bay• FresnoSan Fransico •• Stanislaus • San Luis Obispo • Bakersfield Channel islands • northridgeDominguez HillsLong BeachLos Angeles • • PomonaFullerton• San Bernardino• San Marcos• San Diego 61 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 CSu ADMiSSiOnRequirementsCSu ADMiSSiOnRequirements A Moorpark College student who is planning to transfer to one of the campuses of the California State University (except the Maritime Academy) can qualify for admission by meeting the following requirements: 1. UPPER-DIVISION TRANSFERS: The majority of students transfer as upper division students. Upper division transfers may qualify for admission if they have completed 60 or more transferable semester units (70 units maximum) and have completed the appropriate college courses with a grade of C or better to satisfy subject area requirements. Applicants must have a 2.0 (2.4 for California nonresidents) overall grade point average in all transferable college units completed and be in good standing at the last college or university attended. 2. LOWER DIVISION TRANSFERS: Students who have completed 59 or fewer semester of transferable units by the time they enter a CSU, are considered a lower division applicant. The CSU, with few exceptions, will no longer accept lower division transfer students. For eligibility as lower division transfer student, visit www.csumentor.edu (search lower division transfers) for complete details. 3. SUBJECT AREA REQUIREMENTS: This admission requirement can be satisfied by completing 30 semester units of general education courses with a grade of C or better in each course, to include Communication in the English Language and Critical Thinking (all of Area A) and Mathematics/Quantitative Reasoning (Area B4). Note: These admission requirements are subject to change. Students should consult with a counselor or visit www.csumentor.edu to receive the most current transfer information. General Education Requirements for upper-Division transfers For most students who transfer to the CSU, completing general education classes should be a priority along with premajor coursework. The CSU provides California Community College transfers with two systemwide options for fulfilling CSU lower-division general education requirements. The two options are 1. CSU General Education-Breadth (CSU GE). Refer to this section of the catalog for the list of approved courses. 2. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC). Refer to this section of the catalog for the list of approved courses. Most CSU campuses require students to complete a minimum of 30 transferable semester units of the CSU GE or the IGETC. Within either pattern, the highest-priority classes are the three courses in the English language -oral communications, English composition and critical thinking - along with a general education course in mathematics. Completion of general education courses prior to transfer is usually the most efficient path. Upon completion of either the CSU GE-Breadth or IGETC at Moorpark College, you should obtain certification of your general education requirements before transferring to a CSU. If you are pursuing a high-unit major such as engineering, some math-based fields, science, or other technical majors, you will need to work closely with a counselor to plan which classes you should take for upper-division transfer. CSU campuses do allow high-unit majors to take fewer general education courses before transfer. Just remember, ultimately you will need to meet the general education requirements in order to graduate from CSU. Good planning with your counselor is essential if you enroll in a high-unit major.

Campuses known for this are: FRE, FUL, HUM, LB, MB, PoM, SAC, SD, SF, SJ, SLo, SM, and SoN. Certified Courses Moorpark College will also certify courses completed at other regionally accredited institutions in partial satisfaction of GE requirements provided that such courses are baccalaureate level and would be certified by the institution offering them. Students who have completed courses at other colleges and universities should consult the Counseling office regarding “pass along” certification. Scholarship Most campuses require a grade of C or better for each course and an overall C average (2.0 GPA) for all courses used to satisfy GE requirements. Also, some campuses require letter grades for all GE courses and do not permit credit/no credit or pass/no pass grades. Campuses known to impose limitations on courses graded as credit are: DH, EB, FUL, SB, and SoN. Course Restrictions While a course may satisfy more than one general education group and/ or area requirement, it shall not be counted more than once and any excess units in one area shall not apply to another area. u.S. History, Constitution and American ideals Requirements All campuses require students to complete college-level coursework in U.S. History, American Government and California Government, often in addition to GE requirements. Courses approved to satisfy this requirement are specified in appropriate areas. All campuses allow double counting of courses taken to meet this requirement and GE-Breadth. use of Major Courses Most campuses require a grade of C or better for each course required in preparation for a student’s major; most do not allow a “Credit” (CR) or “Pass” (P) for major courses. Some CSU campuses allow applicants who submit full or area certifications to double count courses for general education and major requirements. Foreign Language and Second Semester English Some campuses require foreign language and/or second semester of English for graduation. In some cases, students certified in Areas A and C are exempt from these requirements. Also, some campuses require completion of these courses for certain majors. See the catalog of your campus choice for these requirements, especially if you are interested in these campuses: BAK, CI, EB, LA, MA, MB, SAC, SF, SJ, and SM. Multicultural/Ethnic Studies Requirement CSU campuses require all candidates for the bachelor’s degree to complete at least one course in multicultural/ethnic studies as a condition of graduation. Selected campuses will not permit this requirement to be met prior to transfer; for most of these campuses, the course must be upper division: CI, DH, FRE, LB, MB, SB, SD, SF, SJ, and SM. Other Requirements You are advised to consult your counselor and the catalog of the state university which you plan to attend for requirements unique to that school. Campuses that may impose additional graduation requirements are: BAK, CI, CHI, EB, FUL, HUM, LA, LB, MB, NoR, SAC, SLo, SM and SoN. 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. transcripts You must make a written request of the Registration and Records office to forward your transcript. You must request transcripts of work completed at any other colleges (outside of this college district) to be sent to the transfer institution. Your Application for Certification is not a request for a transcript. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 64 TRAnSFER TO THE uC university of CaliforniaTRAnSFER TO THE uC university of California the university of California System The campuses of the University of California (UC) provide exciting environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities and generate a wide range of benefits and services that touch the lives of Californians throughout the state. The UC has established campuses throughout the state of California and enrolls more than 220,000 students. All campuses have uniform entrance requirements and certain other features in common. However, each campus is distinctive and not all majors are offered on all campuses. Students should study the list of undergraduate colleges, schools, and majors available on each campus to determine which campuses will best satisfy their educational needs. Students are encouraged to discuss with their counselors the particular advantages each campus has to offer. • uC Davis • uC Berkeley • uC San Francisco • uC Santa Cruz the university of California has 10 campuses: • Berkeley (UCB) • Davis (UCD) • Irvine (UCI) • Los Angeles (UCLA) • Merced (UCM) • Riverside (UCR) • San Diego (UCSD) • San Francisco (UCSF) • Santa Barbara (UCSB) and • Santa Cruz (UCSC). • uC Merced •uC Santa Barbara•uC Los Angeles•uC Riverside•uC irvine •uC San Diego 65 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 uC ADMiSSiOnRequirementsuC ADMiSSiOnRequirements More and more students are discovering the transfer path to the UC. In 2004-2005, more than 13,000 students transferred from California community colleges to UC, and close to a third of all UC bachelor’s degrees were awarded to students who started out at community colleges. The University considers you a transfer applicant if you enrolled in a regular session at another college or university, except while in high school or summer session immediately following high school. (You can’t disregard your college record and apply as a freshman.) Junior-Level transfer The vast majority of transfer students come to the University at the junior level from California community colleges. To be eligible for admission to UC as a junior-level transfer student, you must fulfill both of the following criteria: 1. Complete 60 semester units (70 units maximum) of transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for California nonresidents). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken pass/no pass or credit/no credit. 2. Complete the following course pattern requirements, earning a grade of C or better in eachcourse: Two transferable college courses in English composition; one transferable college course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; four transferable college courses chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, and the physical and biological sciences. NOTE: Each course must be worth at least 3 semester units. Lower-Division transfer It is highly recommended that students transfer at the junior level. However, the University of California admits some transfer students before they reach junior standing if they have met specific requirements. 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 your senior year as eligible in the local context and completed the Subject and Examination Requirements in the senior year - you are eligible for transfer if you have a C (2.0) average in your transferable college coursework. If you met the Scholarship Requirement in high school but did not satisfy the 15-course Subject Requirement, you must take transferable college courses in the missing subjects, earn a C or better in each required course and have an overall C (2.0) average in all transferable coursework to be eligible to transfer. For more information about the Subject, Scholarship, and Examination requirements, see www.universityofcalifornia. edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/ freshman/state/eligibility.html Major Preparation Requirements Major preparation requirements specify the courses you must take during your first two years of college to prepare for advanced study in your major. They may be required as part of the major, they may be prerequisites for other courses that are required as part of the major or they may be required to gain admission to the major. Transfer applicants are evaluated, in part, on the basis of their performance in major preparation coursework, so it is important that you investigate the requirements for your intended major as soon as possible. If your major requires mathematics and science, it is especially important that you complete those prerequisites before you transfer. Lack of preparatory coursework may affect your admission to your major, particularly if there are many applicants and a limited number of spaces. You should begin coursework in your major as soon as you have selected one. If you are applying for fall admission, the campus may require you to complete certain major preparation requirements by the end of the preceding spring term. Visit www.universityofcalifornia.edu for more details. General Education Requirements General education requirements are designed to give University undergraduates a broad background in all major academic disciplines-natural sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, humanities and fine arts. The general education requirement, sometimes called the breadth requirement, lists the specific courses you must take or number of credit hours you must earn in each discipline. Students planning to transfer to one of the University of California (UC) have two options for completing their lower division general education requirements: Option 1: The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) Pattern. Refer to this section of the catalog for a complete listing of approved courses. Option 2: The campus-specific General Education breadth requirements. Lists of approved courses which may be used to satisfy breadth requirements are available at www.assist.org. Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 66 iGETC intersegmental General Education transfer Curriculum The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) is a general educationprogram that community college transfer students can use to fulfill lower division general education/breadth requirements for either the California State University (CSU) or the University of California (UC) systems without the need, after transfer, to take additional lower division general education courses. Completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower division general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. Some students may be better served by taking courses which fulfill the CSU General Education- Breadth requirements or those of the UC campus or college to which they plan to transfer. Students pursuing majors that require extensive lower division major preparation (“high-unit majors”) may not find the IGETC option to be advantageous. Students should also be aware that selected schools and colleges at all undergraduate campuses of UC have requirements which render the use of IGETC either inappropriate or not permitted (see IGETC Considerations below). The IGETC is most useful for students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular CSU or UC campus. iGEtC Considerations Students with a substantial amount of coursework from institutions outside the United States should consult with a community college counselor to determine whether they should complete IGETC or the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at the campus they plan to attend. In addition, some colleges or majors prefer that transfer students follow a more prescribed lower division curriculum, as described here: Berkeley: IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science, and it is highly recommended. The Haas School of Business and the Colleges of Engineering, Environmental Design and Chemistry have extensive, prescribed major prerequisites. In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges. Although IGETC satisfies breadth requirements for most majors in the College of Natural Resources, specific lower division major requirements must still be satisfied; check with the college or visit the ASSIST website for more information. Davis: Anyone preparing for a bachelor of science degree is advised not to pursue IGETC, and instead to concentrate on major-specific preparatory work. Irvine: All schools accept IGETC. However, selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major. Los Angeles: The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does not accept IGETC. Merced: The School of Engineering and the School of Natural Sciences do not recommend IGETC. Riverside: The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences do not accept IGETC, although any courses taken to satisfy IGETC may be applied toward the college’s breadth pattern. The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences accepts IGETC San Diego: IGETC is accepted by John Muir, Earl Warren, Sixth and Thurgood Marshall Colleges only. Students completing IGETC are welcomed at Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges; however, they must fulfill the specific general education requirements of those colleges. At UCSD, all majors are available to students in each college, so students who choose IGETC will not be restricted in their choice of major as a result. Santa Barbara: Transfers into the College of Letters and Science and the College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. Transfers into the College of Engineering may also use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. In addition to general education, all students in the College of Engineering are required to complete a depth requirement. Students who wish to satisfy the depth requirement prior to transfer must complete a yearlong sequence in the history of world civilization, history of Western civilization, history of the United States, history of Western philosophy or history of Western art. Students may want to choose courses for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth requirement with upper division coursework after transferring. Note that students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science or the biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower division major prerequisites to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress through the major. Santa Cruz: IGETC is not appropriate preparation for any major in the Jack Baskin School of Engineering or the Division of Physical and Biological Sciences. This is because IGETC does not provide students with enough mathematics and science courses to complete their majors in two years after transferring. 67 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 2008-2009 intersegmental General Education transfer Curriculum (iGEtC) AREA 1 - ENGLISH COMMUNICATION CSU: 3 courses required, one from each group below.

Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 68 Additional iGEtC information Certification All UC and CSU campuses will accept full certification (completion of requirements in every area) of the IGETC as meeting all of the lower division GE requirements for the baccalaureate degree. Moorpark College can also provide partial certification (maximum of two courses missing to be completed after transfer). Coursework completed at regionally accredited institutions may be included among the courses to certify under the following conditions: Courses taken at other California Community College (CCC) will be placed in the IGETC area identified by the offering college the term the course was taken. Courses taken at other colleges or universities (other than CCC) may be used on IGETC as long as the courses are determined to meet IGETC course standards. In addition, credit awarded for Advanced Placement exams can be used to meet IGETC requirements. Students should consult a counselor to determine the applicability of coursework and AP exam scores to IGETC subject area requirements. Except for courses from other CCC’s IGETC, coursework from other institutions generally will not be used to fulfill the critical thinking/ English composition requirement (Area 1B). Also, foreign coursework cannot be part of a student’s IGETC certification. u.S. History, Constitution and American ideals Requirements Although not part of IGETC, MC may certify completion of the CSU graduation requirement in U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals. Courses used to meet this requirement may also be used to satisfy other IGETC Subject area requirements. However, CSU campuses have the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy the CSU U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals (AI) graduation requirement to count in both IGETC and to meet the AI graduation requirement. In the absence of specific knowledge of a CSU campus policy for double-counting, MC will certify IGETC using the courses in Area 4 (4C/4D/4F/4H) and the CSU AI graduation requirement. Consult a counselor for further information about this requirement. Scholarship Courses used for IGETC certification must be completed with a minimum grade of C (C- is not acceptable). A “Credit” (CR) or “Pass” (P) is acceptable, providing it is equivalent to a grade of C or higher at the institution where the course was taken. It is important to keep in mind that some CSU and UC campuses may have limitations on the number of credit/no credit courses that may be used to meet degree requirements. Major Courses -Most campuses require a grade of C or better for each course required in preparation for a student’s major; most do not allow a “Credit” (CR) or “Pass” (P) for major courses. Also, UC will allow IGETC courses to count toward major requirements. CSU will allow double counting only if the student is fully or partially (by area) certified for GE-B. Course Restrictions A single course may count only once; it cannot be used to fulfill GE requirements in two areas simultaneously. transfer Limitations All transfer limitations applying to courses taken at Moorpark College also apply to these general education requirements. Consult your counselor concerning these limitations. 69 Moorpark College Catalog 2008/09 TRAnSFER TO PRivATE and Out-OF-StAtE Students who are planning to enter one of California’s many private four-year schools or an out-of-state public or private school should carefully check the transfer requirements for that particular school and consult a counselor to determine the coursework needed to meet GE and transfer requirements at that institution.

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 Career Transfer Center (805) 378-1536, located in the Administration Building.

Applications are available online at http://moorparkcollege.edu/htdocs/hsi/nursing_admission.html. Moorpark College uses a prerequisite system and an assessment/readiness test, recommended by California Chancellor’s Office, to determine program remediation and admission. The prerequisite system is based on a formula that takes into consideration – overall GPA, GPA in core biological sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Microbiology), number of repeats in the core biological sciences, and English GPA. The composite of these factors generates a Success Score. The assessment/readiness test will be administered to students who meet and exceed a minimum Success Score. The cost of administering the assessment/readiness test to the pre-selected group will be borne by the college. Students who have met the passing score established for the assessment/readiness test will be eligible for program enrollment. Students who do not meet the minimum scores on either the Success Score or the assessment/readiness test will be given a waiting list number but are required to complete remediation courses with a grade of C or better prior to admission into the program. Enrollment Process •Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite 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 to submitted with the application. •Because the program is impacted, there will be a random selection of qualified applicants, a number will be assigned to each applicant, and the applicant’s name will be placed on a waiting list: Each student’s number will indicate his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admit ted 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 acceptance/ admission. •Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely (example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits which place clients at risk.

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.

Transfer credit: CSU Work Experience & Internships The Moorpark College Career Transfer Center coordinates the Work Experience and Internship Program, offering students two basic routes for receiving credit for on-the-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 Transfer Center with any questions or to apply: (805) 378-1536. Dean Patricia Ewins, Phone (805) 378-1408 Counselors Danita Redd, Judi Gould 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*. 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: 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 Transfer 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.

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

Moorpark College Foundation The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 and is a nonprofit, tax- exempt auxiliary organization which accepts and solicits gifts, donations, trusts, and bequests for college related use. It provides tax deductible advantages to the donor. It also provides a method for the college to interact with businesses, government, and other nonprofit agencies in the broader Southern California community. Though public funds provide support for most of the instructional and related activities and facilities at the college, donations, gifts and bequests provide a significant addition to institutional accomplishments. Private contributions are essential for the support of creative faculty efforts which extend beyond normal institutionally supported areas, including scholarships for incoming honor students and exiting transfer students, necessary physical facilities such as the Charles Temple Observatory, Griffin Stadium, and special instructor-created projects which enhance a student’s learning experience. For more information, call (805) 378-1431. Write Moorpark College Foundation, 7075 Campus Road, Moorpark, CA 93021. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. Website: www. moorparkcollege.edu/foundation.
