Welcome to Ventura College Welcome to our new Schedule of Classes. For the past year, we have been adding information pages in Spanish to our traditional Schedule of Classes. We are now offering a publication that fully integrates the information in both languages we feel that every student, whether new or returning, needs to have to make their educational decisions. We have reorganized the Schedule, making the class listings more accessible; added graphics that we hope will make it more “user-friendly”; and made numerous other changes. Start 2004 on the right note – plan for your future and make those New Year’s resolutions reality. We can help you accomplish those academic, personal, and professional goals. Ventura College is one of Ventura County’s greatest resources and a true bargain! We are here to help you advance your job skills, learn another language, embark on a whole new career, work on your associate’s degree or certificate of completion, or prepare to transfer for your four-year degree. Ventura College can fit into your schedule. We are a community leader in distance learning courses, making classes available to fit your needs, and we offer classes during the day and evenings and in numerous locations, including our East Campus in Santa Paula, the Ventura main campus and several local high schools. Learn more about Ventura College at www.venturacollege.edu! On behalf of the administration, faculty and staff of Ventura College, I invite you to join us this spring and start on the path to your personal and professional success! Larry A. Calderón, Ed.D.

EAC Interim Statement Class Schedule in Alternate Formats for Students with Disabilities: The Ventura College Educational Assistance Center recognizes the need to provide the class schedule in formats that are usable by individuals with disabilities. Currently, the schedule is available in print format and online at http://www.vcccd.net/si/scheds.htm. With assistive technology that is available on campus, and which many individuals also have for use at home, these formats already provide access for individuals with a number of disabilities. In addition, the EAC will prepare a large print copy of the schedule. The primary difficulty is faced by those relying on speech output or Braille for accessing information. This requires that the information be formatted online and in e-text in a manner that makes sense when using those modes of access. There are technical difficulties at the present time which prevent putting the Schedule into a format which could easily be converted to Braille. The same holds true for conversion to e-text for use in text-to-speech. In that case, the issue is having it "make sense" when presented verbally without benefit of seeing the text. The EAC and the DSPS programs at Oxnard and Moorpark Colleges, together with the District Information Technology Office, will be working to find a common solution to this District-wide problem. In the interim, someone requiring the Schedule in formats other than large print, standard print, or the current online version, should contact the EAC. The staff of the EAC will work with these individuals to ensure that their needs for access to schedule information are met in a timely, mutually determined manner that will no doubt vary from person-to-person. This interim policy will be revised when a permanent resolution to this issue is attained. 82 POLICIES & INFORMATION POLICIES & INFORMATION Equal Opportunity The Ventura County Community College District is committed to providing equal opportunity in education and to prohibiting discrimination based on race, gender, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or Vietnam veteran status.

Failure to read and understand these policies, regulations and deadlines does not exempt a student from the consequences of non-compliance. POLICIES & INFORMATION POLICIES & INFORMATION Student Right-to-Know (SRTK) Disclosure In compliance with the federal Student-Right-to-Know law (SRTK), it is the policy of the Ventura County Community College District and Ventura College to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in Fall 1996, a group of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first- time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. (As a result, approx. 3% of all community college students statewide were included in the 1996 study.) The completion and transfer rates are listed below, along with a brief description of how these rates are defined. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire student population at Ventura College, nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period. The rates below exclude part-time students, continuing students, students attending Ventura College to obtain or upgrade job skills, improve basic skills, maintain licenses, working toward high school credits, pursuing lifelong learning, etc. The rates below do not include any students who took longer than 2 years to complete their academic goal. The “transfer rate” does not include any students who first completed a degree or certificate or became “transferred prepared” prior to transferring. The “completion rate” results for the SRTK study described above was 39.5% for VC. The completion rate is the percent of students from the group studied who attained a certificate or degree or became “transferred prepared” during a three year period from Fall 1996 to Spring 1999. Transfer-prepared was defined by the study as having completed 56 transferable units with a minimum GPA of 2.0. The transfer rate result for the SRTK study of Ventura College from the 1998 cohort data was 27.2%. Caution: the transfer rate does not count students who attained a certificate or degree prior to transferring to another post-secondary institution such as UC or CSU. General information about SRTK is available to the public through the Chancellor’s Office of the California Community College System Web site: http:// srtk.cccco.edu/683/98index.htm. Title IX Prohibits Discrimination Individuals wishing information concerning Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education, programs and activities, should direct their inquiries to Dr. Karen Gorback, Title IX Committee Chair, Ventura College, Community Services Department, 71 Day Road, Ventura, CA 93003. Phone: (805) 654-6400 x3143. Fax: (805) 654-6466. e- mail: Kgorback@vcccd.net. Title IV Funds, Return of There is a federal law about paying back money if you leave school. If you get a GRANT or LOAN and then WITHDRAW from all your classes, you will OWE money to the federal Student Financial Aid Program. According to the date you withdraw, the Financial Aid Office will calculate the part of the grant that you have "earned." NOTE: If you withdraw after you have earned 60% of your grant, you do not owe any repayment. The Financial Aid Office will calculate the amount for you. If you receive LOAN money and withdraw, you will pay back the money according to the normal rules of the loan program. If you receive WORKSTUDY money and withdraw, you do not owe anything. Begin the withdrawal process at the Counseling Office. Second, go to the Office of Student Financial Aid. It is important that you take care of these details prior to withdrawing. Failure to do so will result in a hold on your student aid eligibility with the federal government at any institution.

ADMISSION -- Upper division or advanced standing admission criteria (for those students who were ineligible to attend CSU or UC as high school graduates) are based on three components: 1) Units -- a minimum number of transferable semester units (56 for most CSUs; 60 for SDSU & 60 for all CSUs by Fall '05; 60 for UC; maximum 70 for both); 2) Scholarship -- a minimum cumulative GPA in all transferable coursework (2.0 for CSU; 2.4 for UC; higher for non-California residents); and 3) Subject area requirements (i.e. a-g requirements and the ways in which students satisfy these requirements differ between CSU and UC). These admission criteria specify only minimum standards. CSU and/or UC may apply more rigorous standards as enrollment demand changes. All potential transfer students are expected to read the CSU and UC publications for transfers available in the Ventura College Counseling Office and the Transfer Center. SELECTION CRITERIA FOR UC -- When the number of applicants for some campuses and some majors exceeds the number of spaces available, campuses use standards which are more demanding than the minimum admissions requirements to select students. These selection criteria identify those students who have demonstrated the capacity for high academic achievement. The selection criteria are subject to change by campus, school or college, major and/or term. Applicants must complete both the necessary lower division mathematics and English composition requirements with grades of C or better for most campuses by the end of the spring semester prior to transfer in the fall. Some campuses require the completion of the English and mathematics requirements by the end of the fall semester prior to transfer in the following fall. Also, some campuses require that the 60-unit minimum and the four-course pattern (with grades of C or better) be completed by the end of the spring semester prior to transfer in the fall. All potential transfers are expected to peruse the UC publications "Answers for Transfers" and "Introducing the University" which are published annually for the forthcoming academic year. These are available in the Ventura College Counseling Office and the Transfer Center. 96 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY 2003-2004 CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY 2003-2004 General Education / Breadth Requirements California law empowers Ventura College to certify to all campuses of CSU that a maximum of 39 units of the 48 units typically required for general education for a baccalaureate degree have been completed.
