OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 General Information History of the College Historically, the need for a community college serving theOxnard Plain was recognized by the Oxnard, Camarillo, andPort Hueneme communities and the governing board andadministration of the Ventura County Community CollegeDistrict (VCCCD) since the district was formed in 1962. Founded on the understanding established in those earlyyears, the 118-acre college site was purchased in 1968. In1969, the first classes offered under an Oxnard Center concept were offered at Ramona School in Oxnard. The Oxnard Center program expanded in the fall of 1973 withthe opening of the Oxnard Educational Center at 9th and BStreets in Oxnard, under the direction of Ventura College; inFebruary, 1974, a Camarillo Center opened under the auspices of Moorpark College. The 2000 AD Educational Master Plan and strong supportfrom the Oxnard-Port Hueneme area focused attention on the need for a third college in the spring of 1974, and the Board ofTrustees officially voted to build Oxnard College (OC) onMarch 26, 1974. The college opened its doors in June 1975 for its first summersession, utilizing the Oxnard and Camarillo centers begun bythe other two colleges in the district, and adding classes at avariety of sites throughout the Oxnard Plain. By mid-fall1975 Oxnard College had more than 4,400 students enrolledand during the spring semester that number was even higher, in all likelihood a record enrollment for first-year communitycolleges in this state. In fall, 1979, the first two permanent buildings were occupiedon the campus: Liberal Arts Building housing 20 classroomsplus science and business laboratories and faculty officewings, and a Library/Learning Resources Center consistingof the College Library, Learning Center, general classrooms, and administrative and student services offices. The more recently constructed Occupational Education Building houses the college’s information processing, air conditioning and refrigeration, hotel and restaurant management, electronics, and word processing programs. A new Child Development Center opened in early 1992, anda new Physical Education Complex with basketball and racquetball courts, showers and lockers, dance room and weighttraining facilities officially opened in the fall of 1994. TheLetters and Science Building was completed and occupied in1997. A Community and Student Services Center was completed in Spring, 2003. Other campus buildings include tworelocatable classroom buildings, a vocational shop building, a student services center, student activities center, and a food services facility. The Ventura County Community College District and Oxnard College entered into an agreement in 1999 with theCounty of Ventura to house a Job and Career Center on campus. The Center provides local residents with careertraining and supportive social services necessary to achievetheir career goals. The Center also housed the Oxnard College Economic Development Center. County offices aswell as the Oxnard College Economic Development Center, EOPS and Student Services Offices moved into the Community & Student Services building in Spring, 2003. Several new buildings and major renovation projects arescheduled to be completed within the next 10 years, due to thepassage of Measure S, a $356 million bond issue for construction projects District-wide. At Oxnard College, new projectsinclude a long-awaited Performing Arts Center including atheater, a Fine Arts Building, a "one-stop" Student ServicesComplex with new bookstore and food services facilities, general classroom buildings, a Health Sciences Center, and awarehouse on campus. At the District's Camarillo Airportproperty, a High Tech Center and Fire Technology facilitieswill be constructed for OC use. Major remodeling projects oncampus will include the Learning Resources Center, expansion of the Child Development Center, and renovation andexpansion of athletic facilities. Oxnard College continues to be committed to developing acomprehensive educational program as well as a comprehensive campus environment for the students of its service area. The goal of completing the campus's physical plant hasbecome achievable thanks to the willingness of Ventura countycitizens to support the bond issue projects.

OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 OXNARD COLLEGE STUDENT RIGHT-TO-KNOW 1999 FACT SHEET In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know (SRTK) and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101542), it is the policy of the Ventura County Community College District and Oxnard College to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. In Fall 1999, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students is identified and tracked over a three-year period. SRTK rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at Oxnard College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three- year tracking period. The completion rate is the percentage of students in the cohort who earned a degree or certificate, or could be considered “transferable” to a four-year institution (completed 56 or more transferable units with at least 2.0 GPA). The transfer rate is the percentage of students in the cohort who have been identified as having transferred to another California Community College or a four-year institution, but did not meet the criteria above to be classified as a “completer.” Federal law prohibits a student from being counted in more than one category; therefore, those students who are “completers” and have transferred to a four-year institution are only counted once as “completers,” and not as “transfers.” The tables below present the SRTK rates for Oxnard College and statewide for 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 Oxnard 23.7 28.2 28.9 30.3 27.4 Statewide 34.3 32.0 32.7 30.6 34.8 Completion Rates Transfer Rates 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 Oxnard 26.3 32.9 25.8 31.1 19.2 Statewide 23.1 25.1 25.5 27.0 23.6 From 1995 through 1997, the completion rates at Oxnard were lower than those seen statewide until in 1998, when the gap was closed. However, in 1999, Oxnard’s rate again dropped below the statewide rate. The transfer rates at Oxnard College were consistently higher than the statewide rates from 1995 through 1998, however, the rate dropped significantly in 1999 to a level below that seen statewide. It should be noted that the cohort used for SRTK represents a very small proportion of the students at Oxnard College. The 1999 SRTK cohort of 146 students is only 2 percent of the entire enrolled student population of 7,332 students, and only 10 percent of the 1,437 first-time students enrolled that term. Many students attend Oxnard College with goals other than earning a degree or certificate or preparing to transfer to a four-year institution. In addition, the majority of Oxnard students attend on a part-time basis, thus excluding them from the SRTK cohort. The chart below presents a more comprehensive, informative and representative picture of outcomes for Oxnard College students. Outcomes for 1999 SRTK Cohort Still Enrolled 14% Left in Good Standing Transfers 39% 19% Left in Poor Completers Standing 28% 0% The chart above indicates that 100 percent of students achieved some level of success at Oxnard: 47 percent either completed a degree or certificate, became transfer- prepared, or transferred to another institution; 39 percent left the college in good academic standing; and 14 percent are still enrolled. None of students in this cohort left the college in poor academic standing. For additional copies contact Conni Lund, Research Assistant at clund@vcccd.net.

OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 13 Academic Policies Attendance All students admitted to Oxnard College are expected toattend classes regularly, both because continuity of attendance is necessary to both individual and group progress inany class, and because financial support of the college isdependent upon student attendance. Absence for any reason does not relieve the student from theresponsibility of completing all class requirements. It is also the responsibility of students, at the beginning of thesemester, to become aware of the attendance and absence policies of the instructor for each class in which they areenrolled. When a student’s absence exceeds in number 1/9 ofthe total class contact hours for the session (e.g., absence froma semester-long class equal to twice the number of hours theclass meets in one week), the instructor may, request that theAdmissions & Records Office drop such student from theclass and that a grade be recorded in accordance with thepolicy for dropping a course. 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 accordancewith the provisions adopted by the District Board of Trusteesfor the following sections which relate to the letter gradingscale, the credit/no credit options, or credit by examination. Grading System Letter Grading Scale Grades from a grading scale shall be averaged on the basis ofthe point equivalencies to determine a student’s grade pointaverage. The highest grade shall receive four points, and thelowest grade shall receive zero, using the following evaluative symbols: Grade Symbol Points A = Excellent 4 B = Good 3 C = Satisfactory 2 D = Passing, less than satisfactory 1 F = Failing 0 CR = Credit NC = No credit Courses taken on a credit/no credit basis are disregarded incalculating grade point average. However, units earned on acredit basis shall be counted toward satisfaction of curriculum requirements. “CR” is used to denote “passed with credit” when no letter grade is given. “CR” is assigned for work ofsuch quality as to warrant a letter grade of “C” or better. “NC” is used to denote “no credit” when no letter grade is given. SeeCredit/No Credit Options section. Non-Evaluative Symbols The District Governing Board has authorized the use of onlythe non-evaluative symbols “I,” “IP,” “RD,” "W," and “MW,” which are defined in the following paragraphs: I = Incomplete Incomplete academic work for unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable reasons at the end of the term may result in an“I” symbol being entered in the student’s record. The conditions for removal of the “I” shall be stated by the instructor ina written record. This record shall contain the condition for the removal of the “I” and the grade assigned in lieu of itsremoval. This record must be given to the student with a copyon file with the registrar until the “I” is made up or the timelimit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when thework stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or whenthe time limit for completing the work is passed. This timelimit can be less than one year. However, the “I” may be madeup no later than one year following the end of the term inwhich it was assigned. A district-wide process shall be provided whereby a studentmay petition for a time extension due to unusual circumstances. The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for grade points. IP = In Progress The “IP” symbol shall be used to denote that the class extendsbeyond the normal end of an academic term. It indicates thatwork is “in progress,” but that assignment of a substantivegrade must await its completion. The “IP” symbol shallremain on the student’s permanent record in order to satisfyenrollment documentation. The appropriate evaluative gradeand unit credit shall be assigned and shall appear on thestudent’s record for the term in which the course is completed. The “IP” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. RD = Report Delayed The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the registrar only. It isto be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of astudent due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a permanentsymbol 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 ofthe fourteenth week of instruction for full semester classes, or through 75 percent 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 academicrecord of the student who withdraws during the first fourweeks of a term or 30 percent of a term, whichever is less. Withdrawal between the end of the fourth week and the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction for full semesterclasses or through 75 percent of a class less than a semester inlength shall be recorded as “W” on the student’s record. MW = Military Withdrawal Occurs when a student who is a member of an active or reserve U.S. military service receives orders compelling awithdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such orders, awithdrawal symbol may be assigned of "MW." Military withdrawals shall not be counted in progress probation or dismissal calculations. 14 OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 Credit/No Credit Options Colleges of the Ventura County Community College Districtmay offer courses in two credit/no credit (“CR”/”NC”) options: (1) courses which are offered on a credit/no credit basisonly, and (2) courses in which students may elect the credit/nocredit option. The first category includes those courses in which all studentsin the course are evaluated on a credit/no credit (“CR”/”NC”) basis. This “CR”/”NC” grading option shall be used to theexclusion of all other grades in courses for which there is asingle satisfactory standard of performance and for whichunit credit is assigned. Credit shall be assigned for meetingthat standard, no credit for failure to do so. The second category of credit/no credit options is comprisedof courses designated by the college wherein each studentmay elect by no later than the end of the first 30 percent of theterm or length of the class whether the basis of evaluation is tobe credit/no credit or a letter grade. Once the 30 percentdeadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn. It is thestudent’s responsibility to notify the instructor of his or herintent to be graded on a Credit/No Credit basis and to file theappropriate form; otherwise a letter grade will be assigned. The petition for this purpose, “Request for Credit/No Credit,” is available in the Admissions & Records Office. All units earned on a credit/no credit basis in accreditedCalifornia institutions of higher education or equivalent outof- state institutions shall be counted in satisfaction of community college curriculum requirements. A student may apply a maximum of 20 units of credit earnedunder the credit/no credit option to an A.A. or A.S. degree orCertificate of Achievement. Credit (“CR”) is used to denote“passed with credit” when no letter grade is given. Credit isassigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter gradeof “C” or better. Units of “Credit” should not be used to satisfy major requirements. Units earned on a credit/no credit basis shall not be used tocalculate grade point averages. However, units attempted forwhich “NC” is recorded shall be considered in probation anddismissal procedures. Students should be aware that other colleges and universitiesmay restrict the acceptance of courses taken on a credit/nocredit basis, especially for general education major requirements; therefore, units of “Credit” should not be used to satisfy major requirements for AA, AS degrees or transfer. Grade Changes In any course of instruction in a college of the Ventura CountyCommunity College District for which grades are awarded, the instructor of the course shall determine the grade to beawarded each student in accordance with the Grading Systemdealing with academic grade symbols and grade point average. The determination of the student’s grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetency. Procedures for the correction of a grade givenin error shall include expunging the incorrect grade from therecord. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to ChangeGrade,” is available in the Office of Student Learning. When grade changes are made, the student’s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and complete academic history. Final Examinations Final examinations are given at the end of each semester. Summer-session final examinations are typically given on thelast day of class. Students are required to take examinationsfor the classes in which they are enrolled. No examinationsare administered prior to the regular schedule for examinations. Exceptions to this rule in emergency situations willrequire the approval of the instructor of record and the Executive Vice President of Student Learning. All student requestsfor examinations to be administered at a later date must be filed on the proper petition form in the Office of StudentLearning. Petitions for late examinations will not be considered if the student leaves prior to the last three weeks of the semester. Auditing Classes Students enrolled in classes to receive ten or more semester units shall be allowed to audit three or fewer semester units without a fee. Students enrolled in fewer than ten semester credit units may audit three or fewer units with a fee forauditing of $15 per unit (plus a $13 health fee during theregular semester or a $10 health fee during Summer session).

Instructors are under no obligation to grade assignments of students auditing a course. Attendance requirementsfor students auditing courses are the same as for all otherstudents as stated in the college catalogs. Withdrawal from Class It is a student's responsibility to initiate a withdrawalif they so desire. Students may withdraw online atwww.vcccd.net/webstar. Students may alsowithdraw in person at the Admissions Office whereforms for this purpose are available. A withdrawal initiated through the end of the fourth week ofinstruction for full-semester classes, or during the first 30percent of a class meeting less than a semester in length, results in no record of dropped classes on students’ academicrecords (transcript). A withdrawal initiated after the fourth week, but prior to the last day of the fourteenth week for full- semester classes, or through the first 75 percent of a class lessthan a semester in length, shall be recorded as “W” onstudents’ academic records (transcript). The academic record of a student who remains in a class beyond this time must reflect a grading symbol other than“W.” The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive “W’s” shall be used as factors in probation and dismissal procedures. OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 15 Withdrawal from College It is the student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from allclasses if he or she intends to withdraw from college(www.vcccd.net). A student who withdraws after the end ofthe fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes, or after the end of the first 30 percent of a term for short-term orless than full-semester classes, shall have an entry made onhis or her permanent record in accordance with the regulations specified in the Withdrawal from Class policy. Formsfor this purpose are available in the Admissions & RecordsOffice. Course Repetition A course in which a grade of “C” or better has been earnedmay not be repeated except as identified in the catalog coursedescription or as noted under the following special circumstances. Courses taken at any college in which a grade of “D,” “F,” “NC,” or other substandard grade has been earned maybe repeated once for the purpose of improving a recordedgrade. A course taken at another institution, in which asubstandard grade was earned, may be repeated at the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District, subject to this policy. In order to identify acceptable equivalencies, course equivalency shall be determined chiefly bycontent, as defined in the catalog course description, and notby title or units. Upon completion of the repeated course, the previous gradeearned shall be omitted from the computation of the cumulative grade point average, an "E" appears on the permanentrecord. The permanent record shall be annotated in such amanner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true andcomplete academic history. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Course Repetition,” is available in the Counseling Office. Under special circumstances, any course completed morethan three years ago which is required as a part of a student’sdesignated educational goal and which is in a sequence ofcourses based on prerequisites may be repeated regardless ofgrade. Upon completion of the repeated course under thesespecial circumstances, the grade earned in the repeated courseshall not be counted in calculating a student’s grade pointaverage (this means that the first grade will stand and willremain calculated in the student’s GPA). Another special circumstance includes students with disabilities. Special classes can be repeated above and beyondordinary course repetition standards for credit courses. For more information, contact the Educational Assistance Center, (805) 986-5830. Students should understand that other colleges or universitiesmay not accept credit for work which represents a repetitionof high school work. In addition, there is no assurance thatrepeated courses resulting in an improvement in grade will beaccepted by other colleges or universities. Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition Students may petition to have a portion of previous collegework disregarded in meeting academic requirements in thecolleges of the Ventura County Community College District. Academic renewal is intended to facilitate the completion ofrequirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate. A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade pointcalculations and credits from selected portions of previouscollege work which is not reflective of the student’s presentdemonstrated ability and level of performance. The studentmay petition for academic renewal to disregard previoussubstandard college work by selecting one of the followingoptions: (1) disregard a maximum of 15 or fewer semesterunits of any courses with less than a “C” or equivalent gradetaken during any one or two terms, not necessarily consecutively; or (2) disregard all courses from two consecutiveterms (one summer or intersession may be regarded as equivalent to one semester at the student’s discretion). Courses andunits taken at any institution may be disregarded. Academic renewal may be granted only to a student who iscurrently enrolled in at least one credit course in the college; has completed at least 12 units in residence in the colleges ofthe Ventura County Community College District; has submitted transcripts of all college work; has waited two years sincethe course work to be disregarded was completed; and hassubsequently completed at least 30 semester units with aminimum 2.40 GPA.

The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Academic Renewal,” is available in the Counseling Office. Upongranting the Petition for Academic Renewal, the student’spermanent academic record shall be annotated in such amanner that all work remains legible, insuring a true andcomplete academic history. The student should be aware that other colleges or universities may have different policies concerning academic renewaland may not honor this policy. Credit by Examination Granting unit credit for a course by examination is based onthe principle that previous experience, training, or instructionis the equivalent of a specific course taught in the college. Ifan examination indicates that the student possesses adequateequivalency and mastery of the subject, including particularskills where appropriate, credit may be granted. All coursesshall be open to credit by examination unless specificallyexempted. Each division of the college shall determine thecourses for which credit by examination may be granted andthe Office of Student Learning shall maintain a current list ofcourses excluded from this policy. For the purpose of thispolicy, a course shall mean an organized area of instruction asdescribed in the college catalog. A student should be advisedthat the use of units given by credit by exam to establisheligibility for athletics, financial aid, and veterans benefits aresubject to the rules and regulations of the external agenciesinvolved. Exceptions to the above may be made when necessary to meetprovisions of California state law or the rules and regulationsof state agencies governing programs of the California Community Colleges.

A student seeking credit by examination will receive a “CR” (credit) if he or she satisfactorilypasses the examination that has been developed for the coursebeing challenged; no other grade will be recorded. Studentswho are unsuccessful in an attempt to challenge by examination will not receive a “NC” (no credit) and no record of theattempt for credit by examination will appear on a student’stranscript. However, students may challenge a course onlyonce. A student may challenge no more than 12 units (or fourcourses) under the Credit by Examination policy toward anAssociate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. The amountof unit credit granted by examination to an individual shallnot count towards the minimum 12 units requirement forresidency. Credit by examination may be granted in only onecourse 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 this policy are permitted for each college inthose occupational programs where curriculum makes thisnecessary. The exceptions are as follows: The 12-unit residency requirement is suspended, permitting students to petition for credit by examination prior to completion of thatrequirement; when the residency requirement has been met, the course(s) successfully challenged shall be added to thestudent’s record. Credit by examination may be granted formore than one course in a sequence of required courses, whenapproved by the administrator responsible for vocational programs.

De acuerdo con el entendimiento establecido en esos primeros años, en 1968 se adquirieron 118 acres. En 1969, se ofrecieron las primerasclases bajo el concepto de Centro de Oxnard, en la escuela Ramonaen Oxnard. En el otoño de 1973, el programa del Centro de Oxnard se extendiócon la apertura del Centro Educativo de Oxnard, ubicado entre la calle9a. y “B” de Oxnard, bajo la dirección del Colegio de Ventura.

Ausencia por cualquier razón no excusa al estudiante de susresponsabilidades de completar todos los requisitos de sus clases. Es la responsabilidad del estudiante de informarse cada semestre delos reglamentos de asistencia y ausencia que cada maestro tiene encada clase en que esté inscrito. Cuando la ausencia del estudiante esmás de 18% del total de horas de contacto para cada sesión (ej., laausencia en una clase semestral que iguale o doble el número de horasque reúna una clase en una semana), el profesor(a), después de unaadvertencia al estudiante, puede pedir a la Oficina de Admisiones yRegistros que anule al estudiante de la lista oficial y que se asigne lacalificación de acuerdo con el reglamento para dejar una clase. Calificaciones Trabajo en todos los cursos aceptables como los requisitos para “Associate Degrees,” certificados, diplomas, licencias, o trabajo al nivelde bachillerato será evaluado de acuerdo a las reglas adaptadas por laMesa Directiva del Distrito para las siguientes secciones que serelacionan a la escala de grados de letra, la opción de crédito o no créditopor examinación. Sistema de Calificaciones Escala de Grados de Letra La escala de calificaciones se basará en la equivalencia de puntos paradeterminar el promedio de calificación del estudiante. La calificaciónmás alta recibirá 4 puntos y la más baja recibirá 0, usando los siguientessímbolos evaluativos: Símbolo Puntos de Calificación A = Excelente 4 B = Bueno 3 C = Satisfactorio 2 D = Pasa, menos que satisfactorio 1 F = Reprobado 0 CR = Crédito NC = No Crédito Cursos tomados a base de crédito/no crédito no se tomarán en cuentaal calcular el promedio de calificación. Unidades ganadas a base decrédito contarán satisfactoriamente para requisitos del programa deestudios. “CR” se usa para significar “pasar con crédito” cuando nose da calificación de letra. “CR” se asigna para trabajo que se mereceuna calificación de “C” o mejor. “NC” se usa para significar “NoCrédito” cuando no se da calificación de letra. Símbolos No-evaluativos La Mesa Gubernamental del Distrito ha autorizado el uso de los siguientes símbolos no-evaluativos:”I”,”IP”,”RD”, y “W”, que sedefinen en los párrafos siguientes: I=Incompleto Trabajo académico incompleto por imprevisibles emergencias yrazones justificadas al término del semestre, puede resultar en elsímbolo “I” en el record del estudiante. Las condiciones para removerdicha “I” deben ser anotadas por el instructor por escrito. Estaanotación debe contener las condiciones para remover la “I” y tambiénla calificación asignada en su lugar. Esta debe darse al estudianteconservando una copia en archivo hasta que se haga el cambio de la“I” o el límite de tiempo haya pasado. Una calificación final seráasignada cuando el trabajo estipulado haya sido terminado y evaluado, o cuando el límite de tiempo para hacer dicho trabajo haya pasado. La“I” podrá ser cambiada, a más tardar, un año después de terminado elperíodo de clases durante el cual fue asignada. El símbolo “I” no seusará en calcular unidades ni tampoco puntos para calificación. Encualquiera de los Colegios del Distrito, en circunstancias especiales, el estudiante podrá formular una petición para que este límite de tiemposea extendido. IP=En Progreso El símbolo “IP” se usará para indicar que la clase se extenderá másallá del límite fijado para el final del período de clases. Indica que eltrabajo está “en progreso,” pero que la calificación será asignada hastaque dicho trabajo se complete. El símbolo “IP” permanecerá en elrecord permanente del estudiante para tener completa sudocumentación. La calificación evaluativa apropiada y crédito deunidades serán asignados y aparecerán en el record del estudiante porel término en el cual el curso se complete. La “IP” no se usará paracalcular el promedio de calificación. RD=Reporte Atrasado El símbolo “RD” puede ser asignado únicamente por el registrador. Se usa cuando hay un retraso en el reporte de la calificación delestudiante debido a circunstancias fuera del control de éste. Es una anotación temporal que será reemplazada por un símbolo permanentetan pronto como sea posible. “RD” no se usará para calcular unpromedio de calificaciones. OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 31 W=Withdrawal (Dejar una clase) El estudiante puede dejar una clase hasta el último día de la catorceavasemana de instrucción en las clases de semestre, o hasta terminar el 75 por ciento de una clase que sea menos de un semestre en duración. El record del estudiante que permanece en una clase por más tiempoque éste, deberá mostrar una calificación que no sea una “W”. Cuandoel estudiante deja una clase dentro de las primeras cuatro semanas delcurso o dentro de 30% del mismo, (lo que ocurra primero) ningunaanotación deberá aparecer en su record (ni “W” ni otra). Si el estudiantedeja una clase entre el fin de la cuarta semana y el último día de lacatorceava semana de un semestre o el 75% del mismo, una “W” deberá aparecer en su record. Opciones de Crédito/No Crédito Los colegios del Distrito de Colegios de la Comunidad del Condadode Ventura ofrecen cursos con dos opciones: Crédito, No Crédito: (1) cursos que se ofrecen sobre una base de Crédito/No Crédito solamente, y (2) cursos en los cuales los estudiantes pueden escoger la opción deCrédito/No Crédito. La primera categoría incluye aquellos cursos en que todos losestudiantes del grupo son evaluados a base de Crédito/No Crédito(“CR””NC”). Esta opción de calificación de Crédito/No Crédito seusará al excluirse todas las otras calificaciones en cursos por los cualeshay un solo promedio satisfactorio por el cual se asigna el crédito. Estecrédito será asignado al alcanzar tal promedio. Si no se logra elpromedio, no se dará el crédito. La segunda categoría de cursos con la opción de Crédito/No Créditoincluye cursos designados por el colegio donde cada estudiante puedeelegir, antes del fin del primer 30 porciento del periódo de clases, si laevaluación ha de hacerse a base de Crédito/No Crédito o calificación. Una vez que el primer 30 porciento de la duración del curso hayapasado, la petición no se puede cambiar. Es la responsabilidad delestudiante notificar al instructor de su intento de ser calificado a base de Crédito/No Crédito y de llenar la forma apropiada; de otra manerase le asignará una letra de calificación. Todas las unidades que se adquieran a base de Crédito/No Crédito eninstituciones acreditadas de California o de estudios avanzados o instituciones equivalentes fuera del estado, se contarán de acuerdo conel curriculum de requerimientos de colegios de la comunidad. Un estudiante puede solicitar el máximo de 20 unidades de créditobasadas en la opción de Crédito/No Crédito para un título de A.A. oA.S, o un Certificado Vocacional.

Crédito se asigna cuando el trabajo tiene la calidad suficiente como para obteneruna calificación de “C” o mejor. Unidades de “Crédito” no pueden usarse para requisitos deespecialización o requisitos de curso generales. Así que unidades de“crédito” no deberían usarse para cumplir con los requisitos para losdiplomas de AA, AS o para transferir. Las unidades que se adquieren a base de Crédito/No Crédito no seusarán para calcular promedio de calificación. Sin embargo, lasunidades que traten de obtenerse y por las cuales se hace una anotaciónde NC se tomarán en cuenta en casos de prueba condicional oprocedimientos de expulsión. El estudiante debe estar consciente de que otros colegios ouniversidades pueden restringir la aceptación de cursos que se hantomado a base de Crédito/No Crédito, especialmente para satisfacerrequisitos de especialización.

Si un examen indica que el estudiante posee laequivalencia y la maestría adecuada de la materia, el crédito se otorga. Todos los cursos estarán abiertos para crédito por examinación a menosque estén especificamente exentos. Cada división del colegiodeterminará los cursos por los cuales se puede otorgar crédito porexamen y la Oficina de Instrucción mantendrá una lista al día de loscursos excluídos de este reglamento. Para el propósito de estereglamento, un curso significará un área organizada de instruccióncomo se describe en el catálogo del colegio.

El estudiante que solicita crédito por examen recibirá un grado de “CR” (crédito) si él o ella pasa el examen satisfactoriamente; ningún otrogrado se anotará en su archivo. Los estudiantes que no aprueban elexamen para obtener crédito, no recibirán un grado de “NC” (nocrédito) ni aparecerá en su archivo el examen que hicieron sin éxito. Sin embargo, el estudiante podrá hacer el intento de obtener créditopor examen por un curso sólo una vez. Lo máximo que un estudiantepuede obtener bajo este reglamento cuando está estudiando paraobtener un “Associate Degree” o Certifiicado Vocacional son 12unidades o cuatro clases.

El crédito por examen puededarse solamente en un curso, de una secuencia de cursos, tal como está determinado por los prerequisitos. No será concedido en un cursoque es requisito para la clase en la que el estudiante está actualmenteinscrito. Excepciones a esta regla se permiten en cada colegio en esos programastécnicos-vocacionales dónde el plan de estudios lo hace necesario. Las excepciones son las siguientes: El requisito de residencia de 12unidades se suspende, permitiendo a los estudiantes hacer una peticiónpara crédito por examinación antes de completar este requisito; alcumplir con el requisito de residencia, el curso que se retó se añadiráal archivo escolar del estudiante.

Programs, Degrees, and Transfer Information GENERAL EDUCATION STATEMENT of PHILOSOPHY & RATIONALE (Adopted 3/17/99) OPENING STATEMENT General Education is an essential part of the curriculum atOxnard College. A rich variety of general education coursesis arranged under the headings of Natural Sciences, Socialand Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, Language and Rationality, Physical Education and Health, and Ethnic/Women’sStudies. Each of these areas of study represents a distinctiveprocess of learning developed by scholars using theirdiscipline’s accepted methods of research. Completion of thegeneral education requirements listed under the ApprovedGeneral Education Course List for A.A. and A.S. DesignatedDegrees is required for graduation from Oxnard College The framework of general education is based upon Title Vrequirements in the California Education Code and corresponds to the general education patterns of the University ofCalifornia, California State University, and other four yearcolleges and universities throughout the nation. Several general education patterns including the IGETC format are listedin this Catalog. Students seeking to transfer to any four yearschool are advised to complete their general education beforethey transfer. Counseling assistance in planning general education choices is available. The rationale for general education requirements is ancientand deeply rooted in a positive affirmation of human potential. Developing this potential has been linked to the study of theimaginatively-rich and culturally-diverse heritage of humanity. The academies of Greece and Rome and the early universitiesof Europe (Bologna, Paris, Salamanca, Oxford) and theuniversities established in the Americas (Mexico, San Marcos, Harvard) required their students to complete a liberal artscurriculum which is remarkably similar to present-day patternsof general education. The expectation then and now was thatby completing a curriculum that included language arts, fineand performing arts, natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics, logic, analytical philosophy and physicaleducation, a student would develop an honest, insightful, sensitive and moral capacity to think, communicate and live afully human life. A well-educated human being wouldunderstand the value of participating in the civic life of thecommunity and contributing to the well being of others. These goals of general education are promoted and keptrelevant by an on-going revision and expansion of the contentof general education courses. In this way new research andvital perspectives on all the cultures evident in world historyand human experience are included in the curriculum. To simply regard general education as a set of burdensomerequirements and limit one’s own exploration of the generaleducation curriculum is to short-change one’s educationalopportunities at Oxnard College. Students are advised tochoose their general education courses with an imaginativesense of their own authentic interests and well-being. Aliberal arts education can help a student develop an innercapacity for both thoughtful contentment and flexible perseverance in living through the changing cycles of human experience. Through the assimilation of general educationsubjects and methods of inquiry, students can become wiser, more creative, more tolerant, happier, and more responsibleparticipants in human history. SPECIFIC AIMS To promote a rich and effective general education program, the following aims have been defined by the faculty of Oxnard College: GENERAL To introduce students to several areas of academic discourse and the methods of inquiry developed in each area. To illustrate the depth, breadth, and diversity of knowledgeinherited from centuries of human effort to learn. To offer universal access to a broad range of interesting andacademically sound college-level courses to all members ofthe community, including those with specialized educationneeds. To demonstrate the connections between ideas and historical reality and between ethical values and social experience. To educate broad-minded and insightful students who arecapable of reasoned and responsible decisions in many arenasof life. TRANSFER EDUCATION To enable students to complete, in an accessible, affordableand achievable way, the general education courses needed fortransfer to a four-year institution. To prepare students for the academic rigors of higher levelsof education including professional schools. To provide a diverse and well-rounded education for alltransfer students as a foundation and supplement to theirtechnical or specialized course work. INDIVIDUAL GROWTH & CAREER DEVELOPMENT To develop in students an awareness of their potential forlearning and intellectual understanding based upon the skillsand insights they can develop within themselves. To awaken creativity, sensitivity, and communication skillsin each student. This includes a capacity for confident accessto all modes of information technology. To enable students to make an informed judgment about thepurpose and requirements for continuing their college education. To encourage students to actively pursue life-long learningabove and beyond the requirements of career education. To develop in students the learning skills and the broad baseof knowledge that will promote success in their chosen careeror profession. To enable students to participate both competitively andcooperatively in the work place and global economy of the21st century. To help students see the interdependence between theirindividual efforts to earn a living and the macro-dynamics ofthe global economy. OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 39 CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS To teach students how to recognize clear and defensiblemodes of reasoning as distinguished from fallacies and rationalizations.

A student who has earned an associate degree at anyregionally accredited institution may earn an additionalassociate degree. B. A student who holds a higher degree from any regionally accredited institution may earn an additionalassociate degree in a specific major. C. General Education requirements earned for one degreemay be applied toward another degree. D. A candidate for an additional degree must complete 12or more units of credit, in residence, concurrent with or after completion of requirements for the first associatedegree. In addition, a candidate must be in attendance inthe semester during which graduation requirements forthe additional degree are completed. E. A student must complete all the required courses listedin the catalog for the specific majors. In the event thatunmet requirements for a specific major do not total 12units, a student must complete the remaining units fromelectives listed under the major or courses as approvedby the appropriate division. F. In the case of degrees offering two or more options, astudent may earn an additional degree within the samefield by completing the requirements for that option (theadditional degree) and all other requirements specifiedherein. Appeals to the above policy may be submitted on a petitionavailable in the Counseling Office for approval by the Executive Vice President of Student Learning. Waivers may begranted under extenuating circumstances or when there hasnot been sufficient opportunity to enroll in required courses. NOTE: Verification of extenuating circumstances, e.g., medical, should be attached to the petition. Continuous Enrollment A student remaining in continuous enrollment in regularsessions (fall and spring semesters; summer session notcounted), at one or more of the colleges of the VenturaCounty Community College District, or at any other regionally accredited college or university, may meet the VCCCDgraduation requirements in effect at the time of his or herentering or at any time thereafter. This applies only to graduation requirements and to remedial coursework. Continuous enrollment is defined as attendance in at least one semester each calendar year. Any academic record symbolentered on a transcript (A through F, CR, NC, I, IP, RD, W) shall constitute enrollment or attendance. A student who has not maintained continuous enrollment is considered to be under new requirements unless the student isgranted a petition/waiver for extenuating circumstances. Thispetition must be initiated by the student through a collegecounselor and approved by the appropriate dean or designee. Students must be aware that other governing agencies imposemore restrictive limitations concerning the definitions of continuous enrollment or continuous attendance. Some agenciesdefine continuous enrollment as remaining in attendance bothfall and spring semesters. Some will not accept selectedacademic record symbols (such as Ws). Those affected bymore restrictive guidelines include students receiving financial aid and international students. Remedial Limitations The colleges of the Ventura County Community CollegeDistrict offer courses which are defined as remedial. "Remedial coursework" refers to pre-collegiate basic skills coursesin reading, writing, computation, learning skills, study skills, and English as a second language which are designated by thecollege 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 towardcertificates of achievement or associate degrees. No student shall receive more than 30 semester units of credit for remedial coursework. This limitation of 30 units appliesto all remedial coursework completed at any of the campusesof the college district (Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura Colleges). It does not apply to remedial coursework completed atcolleges outside the district. Students transferring from othereducational institutions outside VCCCD shall be permitted tobegin with a "clean slate" with regard to the remedial limitation. The 30-unit limit applies to all remedial courseworkattempted; however, in the event that some of these 30 unitsare substandard and a student successfully repeats one ormore courses in which substandard grades were earned, thenthe 30-unit limit would be modified by the application of thepolicy for course repetition. Students who exhaust the unit limitation shall be referred to appropriate adult non-credit educational services providedby adult schools or other appropriate local providers withwhich the colleges have an established referral agreement. Such a student may, upon successful completion of appropriate"remedial coursework" or upon demonstration of skills levelswhich will reasonably assure success in college-level courses, request reinstatement to proceed with college-levelcoursework. Procedures relating to dismissal and reinstatementare specified in the college catalog under policies governingprobation, dismissal, and reinstatement. The petition for thispurpose, petition for continued enrollment or readmission, isavailable in the Counseling Office. The following students are exempted from the limitation onremedial coursework: students enrolled in one or more courses of English as a second language; and/or students identified byone of the colleges as having a learning disability. Double Counting When a course required for a specific major is also on the listof approved general education courses, the course may beused to satisfy both major and general education requirements, if the student satisfies the minimum 18-unit requirementfor the major. Certificate Programs Oxnard College offers a variety of occupational programsleading to a Certificate of Achievement. These programs, which may be completed in two years or less, prepare graduates for career opportunities in the community in skilled orsemiprofessional occupations. A number of these programs can be completed in two semesters. The attainment of a “C” (2.0) average for all certificateprogram work is required for a certificate, and all can becounted toward a degree as well as the certificate. 44 OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 Certificate programs are developed by the college in closecooperation with employers and industry advisory committees. The courses are reviewed on a continuing basis to ensurecurrency of content and local employer and industry trainingneeds. In addition, the advisory committees make recommendations on equipment and materials for each program toprovide state-of-the-art education for students. Many students combine work toward a certificate with workleading to an associate degree. Specific requirements are as follows: Certificates of Achievement A Certificate of Achievement will be granted in specificvocational areas to any student who meets the followingrequirements: 1. Scholarship—A cumulative grade point average of notless than 2.0 in all college and university work attempted. 2. Major—Completion of all courses required in acurriculum specified in this college catalog. 3. Residence—Completion of at least 12 semester units inresidence at the college granting the certificate. 4. Application for Certificate—The student must file a formal written application in the Counseling Office. Work counted toward the granting of a certificate byone college cannot be used at another college for aduplicate certificate. Certificates of Completion Instructional divisions may award Certificates of Completionto students who have satisfactorily completed a course or asequence of courses designed to lead them to specific types ofemployment or to an upgrading of skills. See page 41 for a list of the certificates offered by OxnardCollege. Curriculum Patterns The Curriculum Patterns are designed to help students plan aprogram which will prepare them for gainful employment in awide variety of careers. These programs have been designedto assist in upgrading persons already employed in business, industry, or governments, or those preparing for employmentwho desire to take all their course work in specialized preemployment programs. Students planning to transfer should contact the CounselingOffice for general information regarding transfer requirements at the various state colleges and universities. These programs have been designed to provide flexibility forthe students and may be used three different ways: 1. A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded a student who completes at least 18 units in a curriculum. Thisshould include all of the “Required Courses” and anadditional number of courses from the “Electives” list to complete the total required of at least 18 units. Maintenance of a 2.0 grade point average in thespecified courses is required. The major completed isprinted on the certificate. 2. The major for an Associate in Science degree isfulfilled upon completion of at least 18 units in acurriculum. This should include all of the “RequiredCourses” and a number of courses from the “Electives” list to complete the total required of at least 18 units. The major completed is printed on the Associate inScience degree. (See Associate in Science degreerequirements.) 3. The major for an Associate in Arts degree is fulfilledupon completion of 18 units in a curriculum. Thisshould include 9 units from the “Required Courses” and9 units from the “Electives” list to complete the totalrequired units of 18.

These categories are not mutually exclusive, however, as many courses included in occupational programs arealso transferable to four-year colleges. For this and otherreasons, the definition of a transfer course is somewhat complicated. Each four-year institution decides for itself on the acceptanceof courses from other colleges. In general, the policy, whetherliberal or restrictive, will apply equally to entrants fromcommunity colleges and from other four-year colleges withtwo exceptions. All four-year colleges impose a ceiling (between 60 and 70 units) on the acceptance of communitycollege credits, and all recognize that community collegesoffer remedial and vocational courses usually not intendedfor transfer. Oxnard College courses can be “transferable” in any one ofthe following ways: 1. The course meets lower-division requirements in thefour-year college major. 2. The course applies to one of four-year collegegeneral education requirements. Oxnard offers the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, the University of California Core Program, and theCalifornia State University General Education Certification Pattern. Students can also take classes that will fit into the general education patterns for individual four- year colleges, both public and private. 3. The course is acceptable as an elective at four-yearcolleges. Courses not accepted as major requirement ormeeting general education requirements may beaccepted as elective credit at four-year colleges. Theseunits will be applied to the total unit requirement for theBachelor’s degree. 4. The course is acceptable for subject credit only. Courses accepted for subject credit only are not given unit credit. Summary Generally speaking, the answer to the question “Is this coursetransferable?” depends on several reference points includingwhen did you take it, where did you take it, where do you planto transfer to and what purpose do you plan to use it for whenyou transfer? Reading the four-year catalogs, the transferguides in the Counseling Office and the Transfer Center, and/ or articulation agreements will be of assistance to the transferring student. Articulation Agreements Oxnard College has negotiated articulation agreements withmany of the four-year colleges, CSU, UC and private collegeswithin the state of California. An articulation guarantees thetransfer of specific courses to special colleges. These agreements are available in Counseling and the Transfer Center. Transfer Center The Oxnard College Transfer Center, located in the LearningResources Center (LRC-1), links Oxnard with campuses ofthe University of California, the California State University, and private colleges and universities. The Center provides current information on transfer programs and general education requirement information andadvising. In addition, the Center has university and collegerepresentatives on campus to assist you in making successfultransfer plans by offering to help with admissions procedures, program planning, financial aids, housing, transcript evaluations, and more. Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAGs) Programs The Colleges of Ventura County Community College Districthave secured partnerships with several four-year institutions, providing qualified students with guaranteed admission, oncespecified general education requirements are met. Typically, TAG students need to earn a minimum number of transferable units, need to be general education certified and need to havemet all lower-division preparation for the student's chosenmajor. In addition, students typically need to attain an average GPA of at least 2.60 with no transferable course having agrade lower than a "C". Each four-year institution has its ownset of specific criteria, including if there is a limit on whichmajors are acceptable as part of the existing TAG program. Currently, Oxnard College students can explore TAG Programs with California State University at Channel Islands(CSUCI) and Northridge (CSUN) as well as with Universityof California at Riverside, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz and Cal Lutheran University. A counselor can help students takeadvantage of these transfer opportunities by clarifying eachtransfer institution's requirements and deadlines and by initiating appropriate paperwork. Call (805) 986-5816 to make acounseling appointment.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) Students also have the option of taking courses that will satisfythe GE requirements of the transfer college to which thestudent plans to transfer. In some major fields students willfind that fulfilling the IGETC or CSU Certification will placethem at a disadvantage. The IGETC 2003-2004 Certification Plan appears on page50. 46 OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 California State University General Education Transfer Certification Students who are specifically planning to transfer to one of the23 CSU campuses may choose to complete the CSU G.E. Transfer Certification Pattern either on a partial or full basis. The CSU G.E. Certification is an official agreement betweenOxnard College and all California State Universities whichpermits a student to complete his/her lower-division generaleducation requirements prior to transferring. Students will besubject to the same upper-division general requirements asstudents who started at CSU as freshmen. This is another option, not a requirement. The OC/CSU General Education Certification Pattern is onthe following page. Transfer General Education Requirements Admissions Information California State University System The California State University and College system has agreedto accept those courses classified by each community collegeas transferable. All Oxnard College (OC) R100-level coursesare transferable to the CSU system. These courses will be accepted for unit credit at the CSUcolleges and universities. How they will be applied at thecollege or university depends on other agreements made between OC and that college. Students should consult a counselorand the specific agreements regarding the college of theirchoice. A maximum of 70 semester units (105 quarter units) can be transferred for credit toward a degree at a seniorinstitution. Students who were eligible to enter a state university ongraduation from high school may transfer at any time with a 2.0 grade point average or higher in all acceptable collegework attempted at a community college. This eligibility fromhigh school is based upon a combination of the grade pointaverage of work completed in the last three years of highschool (excluding Physical Education and Military Science) and the SAT total or the ACT composite score. Effective fall 1984 and thereafter, students NOT admissible on high school graduation must complete at a community collegea minimum of 56 baccalaureate degree level semester unitswith a 2.0 grade point average. The state colleges and universities have instituted new graduation requirements in Englishand Math. Students are advised to check with the senior institution to which they are planning to transfer concerningthese new graduation requirements. Oxnard College counselors are available to assist in understanding these newrequirements. Students must demonstrate competency in writing skills as a baccalaureate requirement for graduation. Transfer Admission Requirements to: California State University 1. Students who have completed fewer than 56 transferablesemester units must have a grade point average of 2.0 (C) orbetter in all transferable units attempted, be in good standingat the last college attended and meet any of the following eligibility standards: A. Transfer based on current admission criteria: Applicantmeets the freshman admission requirements in effect for the term for which the application is being made; or B. Transfer based on high school eligibility: Applicant waseligible as freshman at the time of high school graduationand has been in continuous attendance in an accredited college since high school graduation; or C. Transfer based on making up missing subjects: Applicant had a qualifiable eligibility index at the time of highschool graduation and has made up any of the missingcollege preparatory subjects with a grade of C or better, and has been in continuous attendance in an accredited college since high school graduation. 2. Transfer applicants with 56 or more transferable semesterunits must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 orbetter (2.4 for nonresidents) in transferable units attempted, be in good standing at the last college or university attended and meet any of the following standards: A. Complete all subject requirements in effect at the time ofhigh school graduation (both high school and collegecourse work may be used to meet the college preparatory course requirements), or B. Complete with a grade of C or better in each course aminimum of 30 semester units selected from courses in English, arts and humanities, social science, science andmathematics or at least equivalent level to courses thatmeet CSU General Education, Breadth or IntersegmentalGeneral Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) requirements. All CSU general education requirements incommunication in the English language (at least 9 semester units) and in mathematics (usually 3 semester units) must be completed as part of the 30-semester unit requirement. The remainder of the units can be selectedfrom any of the designated areas. General Education Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree at the California State Universities and Colleges The California Code of Regulations, Title V, relating to theState University and College general education breadth requirements, authorizes Oxnard College to present to students amaximum 39 unit pattern of general education courses whichis acceptable for the Bachelor’s degree requirements at thestate university. Certification is an official agreement between Oxnard Collegeand all California State Universities which protects transferstudents who have completed appropriate General Educationrequirements. Students will complete nine additional upper- division units of general education at the CSU institution upontransferring as a junior. Students are not required to follow Oxnard College’s patternof area units in order to satisfy the requirements at the CSUcampus to which they transfer.

The following colleges have additional GE requirements (check with a counselor for further information): CSU Bakersfield, CSU Chico, CSU Fullerton, CSU Hayward, CSU Humboldt, CSU Sacramento, CSU San Bernardino, CSU Pomona. Partial Certification It is possible to complete separately any of the first four areasor sections at Oxnard College and receive partial certificationin each of those areas; it will be necessary to complete theremaining areas after transferring, as defined by the catalog ofthe transfer school. Certified Courses Courses completed at other colleges may be applicable toward meeting these Oxnard College requirements; appropriatecourses completed at Ventura College and Moorpark Collegeare applicable. If you have completed college courses outsidethis district, consult your counselor and the catalog of thefour-year school you plan to attend since the GE requirementslisted here may not be applicable. Course Restrictions While a course may satisfy more than one general educationgroup and/or area requirement, it shall not be counted morethan once and any excess units in one area shall not apply toanother area. Use of Major Courses Courses taken in preparation for a student’s major generallymay not be used to fulfill GE requirements. In conjunctionwith general education requirements, students will completepreparation courses for their transfer major. Counselors areavailable to provide accurate information regarding pre-majorcourses and certification procedures. The combination ofgeneral education units plus the units for pre-major preparationusually amounts to 56-70 units; the completion of 60transferable units qualifies students for “junior”-level standingupon transferring. Additional Requirements Students are advised to consult their counselor and the catalog of the state college or university which they plan to attendfor requirements unique to that school. (Example: Completion of Social Sciences section may not satisfy History andInstitutions requirements.) Additional courses are requiredfor preparation for a major and/or as electives. Transfer Courses The approved transfer lists in this section designate courseswhich may be used to meet GE requirements; they are not acomplete listing of all courses which transfer to CSU. Transferability of courses may be checked in the Counseling Office. Other Colleges Students who plan to attend one of the campuses of theUniversity of California or a private or out-of-state schoolshould consult a counselor and the catalog of the particularschool to determine the course work needed to meet GE requirements of that institution. While many of the courseslisted transfer to UC and other institutions, they do notnecessarily satisfy the GE requirements. Transcripts You must make a written request of the Office of Admissionsand Records to forward your transcript. Oxnard College cansend official transcripts of work completed only at this college. You must request transcripts of work completed at anyother colleges to be sent to the transfer institution. Associate Degree Although it is not necessary for you to complete an associatedegree in order to transfer to a four-year school, many of thecourses taken to satisfy associate degree requirements aretransferable and, in many cases, may be used to meet transferGE requirements. More Information If you have any questions, check with a counselor. Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum The Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates approved the Intersegmental General Education TransferCurriculum which was implemented in Fall 1991. The IGETC is a series of courses that community college studentscan use to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any CSU or UC campus. The IGETC provides anoption to the California State University General EducationRequirements. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculumpermits a student to transfer from a community college to acampus in either the California State University or the University of California system without the need, after transfer, totake additional lower-division general education courses tosatisfy campus GE requirements. Completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for transfer toCSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-divisiongeneral education requirements of CSU or UC prior to transfer.

A CAN number signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that coursesoffered by other campuses are equivalent in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of theirunique titles or local identifying numbers. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course bearing a CAN number, studentson 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 thedesignated CAN ECON 2 course on other participating community college or university campuses. The CAN numbering system is obviously useful for students attending more than one community college and is applied to manyof the transferable, lower division courses students needed as preparation for their intended major. Because these course requirements may change, however, and because courses are continually being redefined, qualified for or deleted from the CANdatabase, students should always check with their campus counselors, articulation officer, or the Transfer Center director todetermine how CAN-designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer. Students should consult the ASSIST database at www.assist.org for specific information on course agreements. The college staff will help students interpret this information.

Charter Oak truly offers “degrees without boundaries”. Its liberal transfer credit acceptance policy is particularly attractive to the adult learner. Charter Oak will accept previous credits from regionally accredited colleges and universities regardless of when they were earned; up to 90 credits from a two-year college; and approved, non-collegiate credit from a variety of sources, including the military. For many adults, finding time to complete a college degree is a challenge. Charter Oak can help. It offers a myriad of distance learning classes via the Internet or on video. Students can develop their own degree plan, start their program at any time, and determine their own pace of study. Students are not limited to Charter Oak classes alone, because Charter Oak has no academic residency requirement. With all the different ways to earn credit, including traditional and distance learning classes, standardized tests and portfolio assessment, students may complete their degree without ever stepping foot on the Charter Oak campus. Students can take courses at Oxnard College, nearby in Ventura County, or online at Bridgepoint Education to complete their degree. Students can often complete their degree in less than 2 years. Bridgepoint Education is a learning partner of Charter Oak State College. Bridgepoint assists prospective and current Charter Oak students in California. For many students, the cost of the program is comparable to or less than attending any CSU campus as a part- time student. Students can apply to the Bridgepoint Education program with Charter Oak State College when they are about to complete 60 units in the semester in which they apply. Students may be admitted to the program when they have completed 60 college units or an Associate’s degree. Community college courses must be degree applicable credit courses in order to transfer to Charter Oak. Credit/No Credit grades for which a “CR” grade has been received are accepted, though not typically usable toward the student’s concentration. Charter Oak also accepts credit from: corporate training carrying ACE or PONSI credit recommendations; AP, CLEP, DANTES and other standard tests; and workplace learning documented through portfolio assessment. Students who have received certification of the IGETC typically only need to complete one or two additional general education requirements at Charter Oak, and can use community college courses, Bridgepoint courses, or other sources of credit listed above to complete them. Students need 60 liberal arts units to earn a BS degree and 90 liberal arts units to earn a BA, which can include credit transferred from community colleges, Bridgepoint or other sources listed above. Prospective transfer students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with a Bridgepoint representative, for a preliminary evaluation of credit and to answer any questions about the program. Bridgepoint can be reached through the Oxnard College Transfer Center, or by calling 800-333-5116, or by visiting www.bridgepointeducation.com.

UC: University of California OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 61 Announcement of Courses Course Identification A course identification is comprised of the course disciplineabbreviation and course number (for example, BUS R001). All course numbers for Oxnard College will have a leading R(for Oxnard) preceding the actual course number. Coursesnumbered 1 (one) through 9 (nine) will also have two leadingzeros preceding the actual number; courses numbered 10(ten) through 99 (ninety-nine) will have a leading zero preceding the actual number. Sometimes an alphabetic characteris appended to the course identification (for example, SPANR101A). Courses offered by Oxnard College will allow a wide selection of curricula that meet the requirements for most regularuniversity majors as well as for technical, semi-professional, or occupationally-oriented programs. To assist students to plan their programs of study, all creditcourses offered by Oxnard College are classified into one ofthe three following categories: 1. Courses applicable toward the baccalaureate degree at universities or senior colleges. 2. Specialized technical, semi-professional, or occupationally-oriented courses applicable to certificateand associate degree programs for which some universitiesand senior colleges allow subject or elective credit towardthe baccalaureate degree. 3. Non-transfer and/or remedial courses not applicable towardeither the baccalaureate or associate degrees. After a reviewof all courses in the college curriculum, the faculty ofOxnard College has certified the following courses to benon-degree college credit only: ACT—all courses CD R011 DST—all courses ENGL R012, R020, R022, All R030-series exceptR030T, R040, R042, R044, R050, R052, R054, R056, R060, R062, R064, R066, R068, R080 ESL—all courses LS—all courses MATH R008, R009, R010, R093 PG R001, R002, R003, R004, R005, R006, R007 SPED—all courses Definition of a Semester Unit The semester unit value of the course is shown by a number(or numbers) following the course title. The semester unit isbased on three hours of work and study: one lecture hour withtwo attendant hours of preparation, or three hours of laboratory activity. Course Prerequisites, Corequisites, and Advisory A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge that a student must possess prior to enrollment andwithout which the student is highly unlikely to succeed in the course or program. A corequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledgethat a student must acquire through concurrent enrollment inanother course and without which the student is highlyunlikely to succeed. Recommended preparation states the preparation suggestedby the faculty to complete successfully a particular course. While encouraged to do so, students do not have to satisfyrecommended preparation guidelines to enroll in a course. Course prerequisites, corequisites, and/or recommendedpreparation are specified within course descriptions announced in this catalog; they are also specified in the scheduleof classes. A course has no prerequisite or corequisite unlessso designated. Students are expected to have completed theprerequisite course with a satisfactory grade—C or better orCR—and if applicable be enrolled in the corequisite requirement for all courses in which they enroll. Challenging a Prerequisite or Corequisite If a student has equivalent past experience or course work anddesires to challenge the validity of a prerequisite/corequisite, Education Code permits that process. The petition for theaforementioned challenge is available in the CounselingOffice. The challenge process requires a student to showspecific grounds for waiving the prerequisite or corequisite. The grounds upon which students may challenge are asfollows: 1. The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining thegoal of his/her educational plan because the prerequisite orcorequisite has not been made reasonably available. 2. The prerequisite or corequisite was established in violationof the regulation or in violation of district-approved processes. 3. The prerequisite or corequisite is unlawfully discriminatoryor it is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner. 4. The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in thecourse despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite. Challenge forms with supporting documentation must becompleted and submitted to the Counseling Office prior to thestart of classes. Counselors will act on the challenge andnotify the student of their decision prior to the first classmeeting. Credit/No Credit Options In the following section, which contains all coursedescriptions, the numbers (1) or (2) will be seen at the end ofsome descriptions. These numbers indicate that the so- designated courses are graded as follows: (1) Courses wherein all students are evaluated on a credit-nocredit basis. (2) Courses wherein each student may elect by no later than theend of the first 30 percent of the term whether the basis ofevaluation is to be credit-no credit or a letter grade. In all other cases, courses will be graded in conformance withthe college’s grading policy, outlined elsewhere in this catalog. Field Trips Students enrolled in any course in the Oxnard College curriculum may be required to attend extra-educational events, excursions, and/or field trips. Such activities are subject to thedistrict’s policy on field trips, Section C.12.f. of the BoardPolicy Manual, and to the provisions of the California Educational Code and Title 5. 62 OXNARD COLLEGE CATALOG 2004-2005 Transferability Courses that carry a number between R100 and R199 areexpected to transfer for baccalaureate credit to four-yearinstitutions. Courses under which the statement “Transfer Credit: UC, CSU” or “CSU” appears have been approved forat least elective credit by those systems. A counselor shouldbe consulted to determine if major or general educationrequirements may be satisfied with these courses. Coursesunder which “CAN” appear have been assigned a CaliforniaArticulation Number. The CAN system provides a cross- reference number or course identification for courses which are acceptable “in lieu of’’ or are equivalent to specificcourses at participating California colleges and universities. These courses will satisfy requirements for identicallydesignated CAN courses at transfer institutions and willsatisfy degree requirements at all participating campuses inCalifornia. Courses that carry a number between R001 andR099 may be transferable by some colleges and universitiesbut the individual senior institution or a counselor should be consulted to determine the transferability of a specific course. Since most of these latter courses are not ordinarily offered inthe university or four-year college, they may not be applicable to the requirements for the Baccalaureate degree. Offering of Courses as Described in the Catalog Occasionally there may be course changes concerning prerequisites, contents, hours, or units of credit made after publication of the catalog. Efforts will be made through the classschedules and public media, and at times of registration, tonotify students of any changes other than as described in thecatalog.
