Catalog Rights
A student is normally governed by the associate’s degree, certificate of achievement, or certificate of completion requirements in effect at the time of his or her first completed term of enrollment. For the purpose of this regulation, enrollment is defined as registration for and completion of at least one course. Courses in which a student receives a “W” are not considered to have been completed.

If a student’s enrollment is interrupted for two consecutive semesters, he or she will be governed by the degree and/ or certificate requirements in effect at the time of his or her first completed term of enrollment following reentry into the college. A semester is defined as either a fall or spring term.

A student will not receive a degree or certificate under requirements that are more than six years old.

Open Courses
Unless specifically exempted by statute, every course, course section, or class at the College shall be fully open to enrollment and participation by any person who has qualified for enrollment at the college and who meets such prerequisites as may be established pursuant to Chapter II, Division 2, Part VI, Title 5 of the California Administrative Code, commencing with Section 51820.

* Success in some courses numbered 1-99 and 100-199 is dependent on skill levels in English and math that are equivalent to ENGL 150 and/or MATH 380.

Check with a counselor or advisor if you have a question about the math and/or English requirements for a specific course.
