Orientation & Counseling

Falcon Edge Orientation

Orientation-Counseling is required for all first-time, new-to-college students. Transfer and returning students are also highly encouraged but not required to complete orientation. An Orientation-Counseling (ORI) hold will appear in the MyCerritos account of all new-to-college students. Enrollment in classes will not be allowed until the orientation requirement is met. Exemptions: Re-admit and transfer students, and some additional categories of students. Contact the Counseling Office for more information on exemptions and exceptions.

Options for Falcon Edge Orientations

  • Online: Start, stop, and restart anytime! Go to www.cerritos.edu, log into MyCerritos, and select Falcon Edge Orientation.
  • Counseling appointments can be scheduled online by logging into the Cerritos Student Portal and selecting the "Navigate" tile.

Counseling

Students are encouraged to discuss educational goals and develop an educational plan with a counselor. Counselors will assist students in achieving their educational goals as fully, smoothly, and as efficiently as possible. The constant change of requirements and prerequisites for institutions and occupations make continuing contact with the Counseling staff a vital part of the student’s successful academic experience.

The counseling service consists of four major functions:

  1. Assistance in planning academic programs;
  2. Assistance in exploring career possibilities;
  3. Consultation and referral regarding personal life circumstances, or personal matters;
  4. Provision of additional auxiliary services, such as personal development classes, articulation with transfer institutions, referrals to outside agencies, orientation classes, and placement interpretation.

These various services are offered by a professional staff of counselors trained to help students in the appropriate areas of their concerns. The counseling staff works closely with all divisions of the College and keeps abreast of the educational programs both here and at four-year institutions.

Although the use of counseling services is on a voluntary basis, all entering first-time, new-to-college students, F-1 VISA students, and some students on financial aid are required to receive counseling services for program planning before enrollment. Generally, students should schedule an appointment or attend a workshop. Refer to the Counseling website at www.cerritos.edu/counseling for the appropriate services, hours, and general information. Counseling appointments may be made in person in the Counseling Office located in the Administration Building or by calling (562) 467-5231. Limited drop-in counseling is also available.

Due to the high volume of students seeking counseling before the start of each semester, appointments are limited during the four weeks prior to each semester. Only drop-in counseling is available during this time. Refer to the Counseling website for hours scheduled for drop-in counseling.

Students who are on academic and/or progress probation will be limited in the number of units they may take each semester based upon their GPA and course completion rate. They also risk losing their enrollment priority appointment and as of Fall 2016, may be ineligible for the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) Fee Waiver if they remain on probation for two consecutive semesters.

Students who have not declared an educational goal and students who are enrolled in pre-collegiate basic skills courses, as well as re-admit and transfer students, are highly encouraged to develop an educational plan with a counselor. Students can schedule a counseling appointment online through our website https://www.cerritos.edu/counseling/orientation/VCCounseling.htm or by calling the Counseling Office at (562) 467-5231.

Follow-Up

Counseling and teaching faculty provide a number of follow-up services to matriculated students. These services are designed to provide information regarding the students’ academic progress. Special services are provided to students on academic and/or progress probation, students in basic skills courses, and students who are undecided about their educational goal. Referrals are made to on and off campus services when appropriate.

Educational Planning

Counselors can support students to plan their program of study. Students are expected to take courses on a consecutive basis. For degree and transfer seeking students, the program maps can help guide you in the courses required for each program at the college. Students are not to receive credit for courses which are considered lower in degree of advancement than those already taken. Courses are to be taken in accordance* with the student’s ultimate objective and major.

Open Courses

All courses, course sections, and classes of the College shall be open for enrollment to any person who has been admitted to the College. Enrollment shall be limited to students meeting properly validated prerequisites and co-requisites. Exemptions for state or federal statutes or regulations shall be established and the President/Superintendent shall establish procedures to establish exemptions for other practical considerations (Board Policy 5052).

Enrollment Appointment Priority

The purpose of establishing enrollment priorities is to support students endeavoring to reach their educational goals at Cerritos College by providing priority enrollment to groups of students (as listed herein) with special needs and/or who are in continuing student status, as long as satisfactory progress is made.

Priority Enrollment Criteria & Conditions

  1. Priority
    1. New students not otherwise exempt, including those in any state-provided priority enrollment groups, must complete orientation and counseling with at least an abbreviated student education plan (A-SEP), in order to receive priority enrollment.
    2. First time students who have identified a course of study, with appropriate course placement, completed an orientation program provided by the college, and participated in counseling, advising, or another education planning service including at least an abbreviated student education plan (A-SEP), are required to complete a comprehensive student education plan (C-SEP) after completing 15 units of degree-applicable credit course work, or prior to the end of the third (3rd) semester of enrollment, resources permitting.
    3. Continuing students, including those in any state-provided priority enrollment groups, except eligible current and former foster youth, are subject to loss of the enrollment priority for which they would ordinarily be eligible if they are on any combination of progress or academic probation for two consecutive semesters.
    4. Continuing students, including those in any state-provided priority enrollment groups, except eligible current and former foster youth, are subject to loss of the enrollment priority for which they would ordinarily be eligible if they have earned 100 degree-applicable, non-basic skills, and non-ESL units. Units for high unit majors and programs may be disregarded to the extent they exceed the number of units required for non-high unit majors and programs. Units from credit by exam, advanced placement, International Baccalaureate, or other similar programs may also be exempted.
  2. Subject to the above, continuing student enrollment appointments shall be set on the basis of units earned and cumulative grade point average at Cerritos College.
  3. Students subject to enrollment priority exclusion shall have a “PRB” negative service indicator, appearing as a Hold in the Student Center in MyCerritos, placed on their enrollment account. The effect shall be to place the student’s access to enroll at the end of the enrollment cycle in the period known as Open Enrollment.
  4. Students excluded from enrollment priority shall be notified of options they may have, and/or are advised to exercise. See also the section of this procedure titled “Appeals and Exemptions”.

Additional Criteria for Enrollment Priority of Certain Students

  1. Students who are otherwise specified by statute.
  2. Students whose instructional program requires time off-campus or blocks of time associated with scheduled classes for such activities as practice, meetings, counseling, and off-campus time, which limit the choice of class periods.

Enrollment Limitations

Enrollment in courses and programs may be limited to students meeting properly established prerequisites and co-requisites (See Board Policy and Administrative Procedure 4260 titled “Prerequisites and Co-requisites”).

Additional Enrollment Limitations (including, but not be limited to):

  1. Health and safety considerations;
  2. Faculty workload;
  3. Availability of qualified instructors;
  4. Funding limitations;
  5. Regional planning;
  6. Legal requirements;
  7. Facility limitations; and
  8. Accreditation, regulatory, and policy requirements.

Priorities when Enrollment Must be Limited

  1. First come, first served, or other non-evaluative selection techniques, provided all prerequisite and/or course requisites have been met;
  2. In the case of intercollegiate competition, honors courses, or public performance courses, allocating available seats to those students judged most qualified;
  3. Limiting enrollment to any selection procedure expressly authorized by statute; and
  4. Limiting enrollment in one or more sections to students enrolled in one or more other courses, provided that a reasonable percentage of all sections of the course do not have such restrictions.

Additional Conditions May be Applicable to Order of Enrollment

Course sections funded other than by state apportionment, such as contract education, grant-funded programs, and certain fee-based sections (as permitted by law).

Admission to Class

Students must be officially enrolled before attending any class. If students are unable to attend the first class meeting, every effort should be made to contact the instructor(s) or the instructor(s) may drop the student as a “no show”.

For asynchronous online courses, students who do not begin interacting with the course by the first day of the course session are subject to drop. The instructor may require a specific form of interaction (e.g., submitting a discussion post, completing a quiz, etc.) by the student to demonstrate attendance.

Students seeking admission into a “closed” class must attend the first day of class. Instructors may add students depending on seat availability and students’ completion of prerequisites, if applicable.

What are Prerequisites, Corequisites & Recommendations

It is the intent of Cerritos College to guide students into courses in which they will have the greatest academic success. Therefore, students will find courses which have prerequisites, corequisites and/ or recommendations in the course descriptions. This is the case when a specific body of knowledge and/or skill(s) must be learned or demonstrated before the student can be expected to successfully progress to the next level course. For example, English courses must be taken in a sequence: a student must complete ENGL 100 prior to taking ENGL 103. Students are encouraged to consult the course descriptions found in the current college catalog for the identification of the prerequisites for a course.

Students currently enrolled in a prerequisite course at Cerritos College will be allowed to enroll in the next sequenced course. However, it is the student’s responsibility to verify they have passed the prerequisite course. IF a passing grade is not received, the student will be dropped some time during the semester.

Automated prerequisite checking will stop students from enrolling in a class that has a required prerequisite that has not been met. Prerequisites are checked at the time of enrollment (Auto-enroll and Instructor adds). Prerequisites are not checked when classes are added to the shopping cart, but are enforced before completion of enrollment.

To avoid being denied enrollment, students should complete the Cerritos College placement procedures or submit transcripts if prerequisite coursework was completed at another institution. Transcripts are accepted in the Admissions and Records Office. Complete the Requisite Clearance Request form available from Counseling, Admissions and Records, or download the form at www.cerritos.edu/admissions-and-records/online-forms.

Definitions

Advisories on Recommended Course Preparation - a condition(s) of enrollment that a student is advised, but not required, to meet before or along with enrollment in a course or educational program.

Contract Course - a course which a community college district offers under a contract pursuant to Education Code section 78021 with a public or private agency, corporation, association, or other organization.

Corequisite - a condition of enrollment consisting of a course that a student is required to simultaneously take in order to enroll  another course. 

Noncredit Basic Skills Courses - those courses in reading, writing, computation, and English as a Second Language which are designated by the community college district as noncredit courses pursuant to subdivision (c) of section 55002.

Nondegree Applicable Basic Skills Courses - those courses in reading, writing, computation, and English as a Second Language which are designated by the community college district as nondegree-applicable credit courses pursuant to subdivision (b) of section 55002.

Prerequisite - 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. In other words, “prerequisite” means a course that a student is required to complete, a test score, or other requirement that demonstrates preparedness for enrollment in a course or educational program.

“Passing grade” is at least a grade of “C” (Satisfactory) or “P” (Pass). Requisite clearance credit will not be granted for substandard course work (“D”, “F”, “FW”, or “NP”).

“Satisfactory grade” means that, for the course in question, the student’s academic record has been annotated with the symbol “A”, “B”, “C”, or “P”.

requisite Challenge

A prerequisite may be challenged by students who have presented the appropriate reasons. It is the student’s responsibility to provide information to support the challenge. The prerequisite challenge must be filed and resolved prior to the student’s enrollment into the course. A Requisite Challenge form can be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office, Counseling Center, or downloaded from www.cerritos.edu/admissions-and-records/online-forms.

requisite Challenge Procedure

  1. Complete the Requisite Challenge form.
  2. Select one of the following choices listed on the form:
    1. Challenging the pre or corequisite on the grounds that it was established in violation of the District-approved process (student documentation required).
    2. Challenging the pre or corequisite on the grounds that it was established in violation of Title 5 regulations (student documentation required).
    3. The requisite or enrollment limitation is either unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner.
    4. I will be subject to undue delay in attaining my educational goal because the requisite has not been made reasonably available (must declare educational goal and major).
    5. I have the knowledge or ability to succeed in the requested course based on the stated learning outcomes of the requisite course. Contact the department for course content and student learning outcomes. (Documentation must address how you meet the stated learning outcomes of the requisite course.)
    6. After careful consideration and against the recommendation of the college, I am requesting placement into the stated course.
  3. Submit the completed form to the Admissions & Records Office for approval or denial of request. Please allow at least ten business days for a response.
  4. Approval of the prerequisite challenge requires the student to enroll in the course in the Admissions and Records Office in person. MyCerritos will not recognize the approved form. Please note: A challenged requisite will not be deemed as a cleared requisite, therefore it will not appear on the transcript nor will it clear a like requisite in the future.
  5. Denial of the prerequisite challenge requires the student to complete the clearance process or course listed as the official requisite. There is no appeal process.

Add Procedures

If you wish to add to your class schedule, please follow the steps below:

  • Classes may be added via MyCerritos, Student Center (http://my.cerritos.edu).
  • To add a closed class, go to class on the first day and time that it meets; be on time. Respectfully request of the instructor to be added to the class. If the instructor approves, an electronic enrollment will be submitted on your behalf to Admissions and Records. Please note that prerequisites, holds/service indicators (SI), conflicts, and illegal course repetition will be checked. Fee payment deadlines are published in the current schedule of classes. Please refer to MyCerritos (http://my.cerritos.edu) or the current schedule of classes for information regarding being dropped from all classes and holds (SI) for lack of payment. Please check your student account via MyCerritos or in the Admissions and Records Office. All enrollments must be completed by the published add deadlines.
  • Adding a class may be prevented due to holds or unauthorized course repetition (see “Repetition of Courses”).

Level/Section Changes

Level/section changes must be processed in person. Program changes which involve level changes in skill and performance classes may be made by the add deadline. Students may also make level changes in Work Experience classes by the add deadline, but only a reduction of hours may be made after the add deadline.

Section changes may not be made between terms or semesters. A student may not drop a first six-/eight-week course and then enroll in a second six-/eight-week course by executing a section change. The student is required to officially drop the first six-/eight-week class and then pay the appropriate fees to be enrolled in the second six-/eight-week class. The money will not transfer from one term to another if the drop is processed outside of the refund date.

Drop Procedures

Pursuant to Title 5, section 58004 and Cerritos College Board Policy, it is the student’s responsibility to participate fully in class(es), once enrollment is complete. However, should it become necessary to drop a class, it is the student’s responsibility to withdraw themselves.

It is strongly advised that students take the initiative to officially drop themselves. Failure to officially drop from class(es) may result in an “F” grade for each class and a delinquent debt and restrictive hold to the student’s account.

Classes may be dropped via MyCerritos, Student Center (http://my.cerritos.edu). Be mindful of deadline dates for refunds and posting of “W’s” to transcripts. See the “Calendar of Important Dates” in the schedule of classes for specific deadlines. Be sure to verify the drop with a printed receipt.

Deadlines: Dropping a class or classes shall be authorized through the last day of the 14th week of an 18-week term or 75% of a shorter than 18-week term, whichever is less. The academic records of a student who remains in a class beyond the date allowed for drop must reflect an authorized symbol, other than a “W.”

“W’s” are considered “honorable withdrawals” and shall not be used in calculating grade point averages. However, excessive “W’s” shall be used as factors for probation and dismissal procedures. Additionally, a student who has a “W” in the same class two or more times, loses the privilege of priority enrollment for that class. Students may submit a Petition for Course Repetition, which is subject to approval or denial, to the Academic Records and Standards Committee for exceptions to the excessive “W” policy for course repetition.

Dropping A Class After the Drop Deadline

Withdrawal from a class after the drop deadline (late withdrawal) may be authorized in the event of extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illnesses, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. Should a verified condition require a withdrawal after the final drop deadline, a student may petition to the Admissions & Records Office. Petitions will be considered based on the submission of the petition, the extenuating circumstances, and the dates of the circumstances must be relevant to the term and date for which a late withdrawal is requested. Petitions must be submitted within one year of the withdrawal.

Military Withdrawal

Pursuant to Education Code 66023, the Board of Trustees of Cerritos College makes provisions for non-punitive withdrawals from class of students who are members of an active or reserve United States military service unit who receive orders compelling withdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such orders, a military withdrawal (MW) symbol may be assigned at any time after the period during which no notation is made for withdrawals. There will be no penalty for military withdrawals. Military withdrawal shall not be counted in progress probation and dismissal calculations.

Auditing Courses

Auditing courses is permitted at Cerritos College. An audit student is a student who attends a course or courses for no credit or notation on an official transcript. Auditing may be available, pending signed permission, for any student who wishes to attend a course for information, review purposes, or skill building. Students wishing to audit should be aware that audited courses will not appear on the official transcript.

Steps to Audit A Course

  • The student must be officially admitted to the College.
  • The student must submit the appropriate audit form with the required signatures of the instructor of the course and the division dean. Permission to audit is at the discretion of the instructor and division dean.
  • The fee to audit a class is $15 per unit (in addition to student fees). Students enrolled in 10 or more units can audit 3 units free (may be 3 one-unit classes). The $15 per unit audit fee will automatically be charged if the student drops below 10 units.
  • Credit students have priority over auditing students. If a course closes after an auditor has been admitted, the auditor may be asked to withdraw to make room for a credit student.
  • Students may contact the Admissions and Records Office to request the appropriate audit form and for additional information regarding auditing. (Board Policy 4070).

Wait List

Auto- enroll will automatically enroll students in order from the wait list to the official roster when space becomes available. Each student is limited to a maximum of 10 wait-listed units. Auto-enroll from a wait list will not occur if:

  1. Student has a hold (service indicator) on their account.
  2. The class requisite has not been met.
  3. Unauthorized course repetition would occur.
  4. There is a class time conflict. Students may not be enrolled in two classes that meet at the same time.
  5. If student is enrolled in a class and on a wait list for the same course (i.e., enrolled in SOC 101 Introductory Sociology Principles and #1 on the wait list for SOC 101 Introductory Sociology Principles at another time) he/she will lose a seat when “auto-enroll” tries to move from the wait list to the official roster due to “Multiple Enrollment”.

Auto-enrollment will continue through the Friday before classes begin. Attendance at the first class meeting is required in order to enroll or remain on the wait list. Failure to attend class does not create an automatic drop or refund. If you do not want your wait-listed classes, please drop them to avoid a substandard grade and forfeiture of fees.

Repetition of Courses

At Cerritos College, previous course enrollment is reviewed electronically for prior enrollment attempts. All courses have repeatability limitations.

Students may repeat a course in which a substandard grade (D, F, NP, FW) or “W” in any combination has been received one time. Students receiving any combination of substandard grades may petition the Academic Records and Standards Committee for an exception to the two attempts rule. All petitions are subject to approval or denial. Upon completion of a repeated course, the most recent grade earned will be computed in the cumulative grade point average and annotated in the student’s academic record.

When a student repeats a class to alleviate substandard academic work, the previous grade and credit shall be disregarded in the computation of grade point averages, but shall not be deleted from the student’s permanent record. Courses that are repeated shall be recorded on the student’s permanent academic record using an appropriate annotation. Annotating the permanent academic record shall be done in a manner so that all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history.

Students may use an equivalent course from an accredited college or university to replace a Cerritos College course in which a substandard grade was recorded, if earned subsequent to the substandard grade at Cerritos College. The student must petition the Academic Records and Standards Committee to record the change. The College may honor the prior course repetition actions of other accredited colleges and universities in determining acceptance of credits, subject to student petition to, and approval by, the Academic Records and Standards Committee. (Board Policy 4225 and Administrative Policy 4225)

Examples of Exceptions for Consideration of Course Repetition Limitations

An Academic Records and Standards Petition must be filed for official consideration of course repetition. All petitions are subject to approval or denial. Contact the Admissions and Records Office for specific directions.

  1. Student received an “MW” (Military Withdrawal).
  2. Student’s previous grades are a result of documented circumstances beyond his/her control.
  3. Cooperative work experience courses, subject to stated maximums, as provided in the College Administrative Procedures.
  4. Certain activity or skill building courses, subject to stated maximums, as provided in College Administrative Procedures.
  5. Certain classes for students with disabilities, subject to stated qualifications, as provided in College Administrative Procedures.
  6. Repetition necessary for legally mandated training. Such courses may be repeated any number of times, regardless of whether or not substandard work was previously recorded, and the grade received each time shall be included for purposes of calculating the student’s grade point average.
  7. After a significant lapse of time, a student may repeat a course in which a grade of “C” or better was received.

Course Repeatability

Intercollegiate athletics and some music and theater courses that are required for transfer programs are the only courses that allow for repeatability. There are limitations on repeatability for dance, drama, physical education, visual arts, and most music courses; these courses are offered as single enrollment courses. There will be a notation after the course description if the course allows for repeatability.

The college has developed Families of Courses that include courses related in content (see next page for Families of Courses listed by department). A family of courses may consist of more than four courses, but students are limited to a maximum of four courses in any family. Further, all grades, including “W”s, will count toward the four-course enrollment limitation. Students can repeat art, dance, drama, music, and physical education courses that are included in Families of Courses in which a grade of “NP”, “D”, or “F” was earned or a “W” was assigned; however, all enrollments count toward the four-enrollment maximum for each family of courses.

Pass/No Pass Courses

Title 5, California Administrative Code 55022, permits the granting of credit toward a degree or certificate for courses completed on a Pass/ No Pass basis. All sections of the course must be offered in the same manner. Courses may be offered for Pass/No Pass in either of the following categories and will be specified in the catalog:

Pass/No Pass Policies and Procedures

No more than fifteen (15) units of Pass/No Pass courses may be completed at Cerritos College, nor may more than fifteen (15) units earned on a Pass/No Pass basis be applied toward the Associate of Arts degree. Some courses are graded entirely on a Pass/No Pass basis. Units earned in such courses shall not be considered as a part of the fifteen (15) unit limit in the optional Pass/No Pass policy.

Electing Pass/No Pass

  • The decision to elect Pass/No Pass grading must be made no later than the last day of instruction for the specific session for which the student is enrolled as published in the college’s schedule.
  • Pass/No Pass forms are available online or in the Admissions and Records Office in the Administration Building. Forms must be received and processed by the Admissions and Records Office in order to receive the Pass/No Pass notation.

A grade of “P” is earned for coursework equal to a grade of “C” or better. A grade of “NP” is earned for coursework equal to a grade of “D” or “F”. Neither “P” nor “NP” grades are used in computation of grade point average; however, P/NP units will appear on the transcript of record.

Units attempted for which a grade of “NP” is recorded shall be considered in probation and dismissal procedures. Students may not repeat a course using the P/NP grading basis for a course previously taken for a letter grade.

Non-Optional Pass/No Pass Classes

These classes are offered on a pass/no pass basis only and are graded entirely on a pass/no pass basis.

Transferring with Pass/No Pass Grades

Students are advised that four-year institutions may limit the number of units acceptable for transfer completed with a P/NP notation. (Administrative Policy 4232)

Note: As a result of the shift to online instruction in Spring 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) issued a formal memo suspending the regulatory limitations outlined in this section through the end of the 2021 calendar year. Unless the Chancellor’s Office issues an extension of the suspension, the regulatory limitations related to the P/NP grading option will be restored at that time.

Acceptance of Transfer College Credit

A student who presents an official transcript of previous college or university work (other than non-degree applicable course work) in courses comparable to those of Cerritos College, may receive credit towards the Associate of Arts degree from Cerritos College. Before credit can be granted, the course work must have been completed at a college or university that is a member of one of the six regional accrediting associations. Official transcripts must be on file with the Admissions and Records Office. Hand-delivered copies of transcripts are accepted provided they are received in a sealed envelope.

Cerritos College does not guarantee the use of transfer credit towards the university. Each university will have their own evaluation process. Transfer credit from institutions using the quarter system shall be evaluated as follows:

The number of quarter units shall be multiplied by two and divided by three to arrive at the approximate number of semester units. (i.e., 4 quarter units equal approximately 3 semester units.)

Cerritos College is authorized to enroll F-1 non-immigrant students and welcomes applications from such persons.

Prior to the application of credit towards the Associate of Arts degree (A.A.), the international transcript must be submitted to evaluation agencies acceptable to Cerritos College. The college may then choose to accept or not accept the agency’s recommendations to award credit towards the Associate of Arts degree.

Since the four-year universities maintain their own individual evaluation staffs, credit from foreign institutions towards the Baccalaureate degree is subject to the universities’ review.

International students who wish to enroll as an F-1 status, please refer to the “Admission of International Students” in this catalog. Also, please contact the Office of International Student Services (OISS) at (562) 860-2451, Ext. 2133; email us at intadmissions@cerritos.edu or visit the website at www.cerritos.edu/international.

Advanced Placement Exam Credit

Cerritos College will grant degree-applicable credit for College Board Advanced Placement examinations, based on a policy change from the community college Chancellor’s Office resulting from an assembly bill. There is now a uniform statewide community college policy on the use of AP for the A.A. degree. A score of 3, 4 or 5 is required in order to receive units toward the A.A. degree. The number of units earned through Advanced Placement exams will be noted on the student’s transcript. AP exams that do not specify a general education area will receive elective credit. AP Credit granted can be used to satisfy Cerritos College General Education requirements for the A.A. degree (Plan A) as follows:

Students wishing to apply AP credits toward one of the transfer general education and unit requirements for admission should consult the appropriate table on the Transfer Center website at www.cerritos.edu/transfer-center.

Students wishing to apply AP credits towards transfer major requirements should consult the receiving institution’s policy which can often be found in the receiving institution’s university catalog. A Cerritos College counselor may help you with your inquiries.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) gives college students the opportunity to receive  college credit by earning qualifying scores on standardized examinations.
A student must be currently enrolled at Cerritos College at the time they request credit for CLEP exams. Credit will not be granted for courses in which equivalent or more advanced course work has been completed. All official transcripts from CLEP must be submitted directly to the
Admissions and Records Office to receive credit. The number of units earned through CLEP will be noted on the student’s transcript.
Departmental approval is required to determine whether test scores will satisfy requirements for the major.
Credit granted towards the associate degree at Cerritos College does not necessarily transfer to other institutions. Transferability of credit is determined by the receiving college or university.
Currently, the University of California does not accept CLEP Examinations. Please see a counselor for applicability to transfer requirements.
Credit for the American Government does not meet the CSU American Institutions requirement. In addition, the English composition requirement currently cannot be met by a CLEP exam.

Students Rights & Responsibilities

  1. All students shall be required to:
    1. Identify an education and career goal;
    2. Diligently engage in course activities and complete assigned coursework; and
    3. Complete courses and maintain progress toward an education goal and completing a course of study.
  2. Nonexempt first-time students shall, within a reasonable period of time, be required to:
    1. Identify a course of study;
    2. Be assessed to determine appropriate course placement;
    3. Complete an orientation provided by the college;
    4. Participate in counseling, advising, or another education planning service to develop, at a minimum, an abbreviated student education plan (A-SEP).

      For the purposes of this section, a first-time student is a student who enrolls at the college for the first time, excluding students who transferred from another institution of higher education.

      For purposes of this section, first-time enrollment does not include concurrent enrollment during high school. To the extent that a college has the capacity to require and provide the services identified in (b)(1) through (4) to other students, nothing in this section would preclude a college from doing so.
  3. Nonexempt students who have completed the services identified in (b)(1) through (4) shall be required to complete a comprehensive education plan after completing 15 semester units of degree applicable credit course work or prior to the end of the 3rd semester, or a shorter period if required by district or program policy.

    Failure to fulfill the required services listed in (b) may result in a hold on a student’s registration or loss of registration priority until the services have been completed.

Institutional Responsibilities

  1. The college shall take steps to ensure that information regarding matriculation policies is accessible and available to all students during or prior to enrollment (e.g., during orientation) and is included in class schedules, catalogs, or other appropriate communications describing student rights and responsibilities.
  2. Once the student has identified a course of study and completed 15 semester units of degree applicable course work, the college shall provide the student with an opportunity to develop a comprehensive student education plan within a reasonable time period. Student responsibilities shall also be identified in the student’s education plan.
  3. College policy provides that a nonexempt student will have a hold placed on enrollment if a student fails to fulfill the responsibilities set forth in the section, “Student Rights and Responsibilities”.
  4. The college shall make reasonable efforts to avoid duplication of the orientation, assessment, counseling, advising, or other education planning services, and development of student education plans funded through this subchapter or funded through other programs.
  5. It is intended that the instructional and student services areas of the college shall use multiple sources of data from student education planning efforts and identified courses of study to coordinate course scheduling.

Change of Address

Changes in address must be reported immediately to the Admissions and Records Office. Failure to do so may result in a delay of enrollment appointment or other important notifications. Address changes may be made online at www.cerritos.edu, “My Cerritos”, “Student Center”, “Personal Information.”

College Terms

Units

Each college course is offered for a particular number of units. Course units are based on the type of course and the number of hours per week it was designed to meet. For examples, a lecture course which meets three hours per week during the regular 18-week semester is worth three units; a laboratory course which meets three hours per week during that same semester is worth one unit.

Study Load/Course Load

In order to meet graduation requirements in four semesters, students should carry an average of 16 units of degree applicable credit each semester. Students desiring to enroll in more than 18 units must have the approval of a counselor. Other unit limitations are:

  • Foreign Visa Students: not less than 12 units.
  • Intercollegiate Athletes:  Students need to consult with athletic counselor and eligibility specialist to ensure requirements are met.
  • Dual Enrollment (K-12th Grade) Students: may enroll in a maximum of 11 units.
  • Students on probation are limited to the amount of units based on GPA and/or completion rate.

Class Hour

A “class hour” is the basic unit of scheduled attendance and/or examination and is defined as a period not less than 50 minutes. A “clock hour” is a 60-minute time frame which is composed of one 50-minute class hour and a 10-minute segment referred to as a “passing period” or “break.” Cerritos College classes have been scheduled based on these definitions. Classes that meet for multiple hours may include a 10-minute break between hours but not in the last hour of attendance.

Classification of Students

Freshman: One who has earned fewer than 30 degree applicable units.

Sophomore: One who has earned 30 or more units but fewer than 60 units, or has completed 60 units but does not hold a degree.

Graduate: One who has been awarded the Associate of Arts degree or a higher degree.

Full-time: One who is enrolled in 12 or more units.

Part-time: One who is enrolled in less than 12 units.

Dual Enrollment (K-12): One currently enrolled in K-12th grade who desires to enroll for college credit.

Refund Policies & Procedures

It is the student’s responsibility to apply for a refund. A student is eligible for a refund after classes have been officially dropped. Classes must be dropped by the appropriate deadline for the session in order to be eligible for a refund. Stated deadlines are not adjusted due to late enrollment.

A student is eligible for a refund if:

  1. classes are dropped by the required deadline;
  2. the program change is the result of action taken by the college to cancel or reschedule a class;
  3. the student is dropped for failure to meet a prerequisite(s) or corequisite(s); and/or,
  4. the student is active or reserve U.S. Military personnel who withdraws due to military orders.

Eligible students may file a petition with the district requesting refund of their enrollment fee(s). A refund will not be processed if academic credit has been awarded for the class. Refunds are not automatically processed.

To request a refund, a student must submit a Refund Request Form. The Refund Request Form is also available online and can be mailed to the Admissions and Records Office. Approved refunds will be mailed in approximately four to six weeks. Be sure your current mailing address is on file with the college.

A check is the only form of payment that Cerritos College uses to issue refunds. If a payment is made by credit card for any registration transaction, and you drop any or all of your classes within the required refund period, we will NOT credit your credit card account. All refund checks are made payable to the student.

Refunds are made pursuant to Title 5, Section 58501 or 58501.1.

One Year Limit on Refunds - Classes must be dropped before filing for a refund. Students seeking refunds must meet the requirements listed above to be eligible. Students must have dropped the class(es) and met the appropriate deadlines before filing for a refund. If these conditions have been met, students have one year from the beginning of the semester in which fees were paid to apply for their refund. Beyond the one-year limit, students will no longer be eligible.

Returned Check Policy

Personal checks are not accepted for payment of tuition, fees, and other costs. If a check is accepted for another purpose, a $25 fee will be charged on all returned and stop payment checks. All fees are subject to change without notice in accordance with action taken by the Board of Trustees. Under state law, including California Civil Code 1719, any person who writes a check which is dishonored for lack of funds is civilly liable, and under the law is liable for at least $100 or three times the amount of the check plus additional costs.

Loss of Eligibility for CCPG Fee Waiver

A student shall become ineligible for a California College Promise Grant (CCPG) Fee Waiver if the student is placed on academic or progress probation, or any combination thereof, for two consecutive primary terms. Loss of eligibility shall become effective at the first registration opportunity after such determination is made.

The District shall notify students of their placement on academic or progress probation no later than 30 days following the end of the term that resulted in the student’s placement on probation. The notification must clearly state that two consecutive primary terms of probation will lead to a loss of the CCPG Fee Waiver until the student is no longer on probation. The notification must also advise students about the available student support services to assist them in maintaining eligibility.

The District shall adopt, prominently display, and disseminate policies ensuring that students are advised about the student support services available to assist them in maintaining and reestablishing CCPG Fee Waiver eligibility. Dissemination includes, but is not limited to, information provided in college catalogs and class schedules.

The District has established written procedures by which a student may appeal the loss of a CCPG Fee Waiver due to extenuating circumstances, or when a student with a disability applied for, but did not receive, a reasonable accommodation in a timely manner. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illnesses, or other circumstances that might include documented changes in the student’s economic situation or evidence that the student was unable to obtain essential student support services. Extenuating circumstances also includes special consideration of the specific factors associated with Veterans, CalWORKs, EOPS, and SAS student status.

Foster Youth shall not be subject to loss of CCPG Fee Waiver due to placement on academic or progress probation. This exemption for Foster Youth is effective until the date specified in Education Code section 66025.9(c).

Appeals & Exemptions

It is the intent of these procedures to support and promote student success, including program completion, through access to needed courses. Petitions for appeals of, or exemption from, the implementation of these procedures are subject to consideration by the Committee on Academic Records and Standards or its designee.

  1. Students may appeal the loss of enrollment priority and/or loss of the CCPG Fee Waiver due to extenuating circumstances, certain conditions specified on the Enrollment Priorities and/or CCPG Fee Waiver Appeals Form, or where a student with a disability applied for, but did not receive reasonable accommodation in a timely manner. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond the control of the student.
  2. Students who have demonstrated significant academic improvement will regain the CCPG Fee Waiver and/or priority enrollment status. It is the student’s responsibility to timely verify changes in enrollment priority status. Significant academic improvement is defined as achieving no less than the minimum grade point average and progress standard within a term. The minimum academic standard is a 2.0 grade point average, once the student has attempted 12 semester units; the minimum progress standard is greater than 50% of all units enrolled in being other than “W”, “I”, “NP”, or “NC”, once the student has enrolled in a total of at least 12 semester units.
  3. Students may request reinstatement of enrollment priority and/or the CCPG Fee Waiver if an institutional mistake was made.
