Philosophy of General Education
General education program is designed to introduce students to the variety 
of means through which people comprehend the past, present and future 
world. It reflects the conviction of the college that those who receive our 
degrees must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts and 
methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. 
The general education experience should enable individuals to use this 
knowledge when evaluating and appreciating the physical environment, 
arts, culture and the society in which they live. Most importantly, since 
education is a life-long process, general education should lead to better 
self-understanding and the capacity to adapt, respond and grow in a 
changing world. In its general education program, MC strives to create 
coherence and integration among the separate requirements (excerpt 
from Title 5).

Graduation Application Procedures
Students may apply for graduation by scheduling a counseling appointment 
to submit an application for graduation. The student may elect 
to be either a Fall graduate, a Spring graduate, or a Summer graduate, 
depending upon the completion of all necessary graduation requirements. 
However, formal graduation ceremonies are conducted only at 
the conclusion of each academic year. The deadline dates for submission 
of graduation applications are printed in the Moorpark College 
Schedule of Classes. 
Major Requirements under which a 
Student Graduates
A student remaining in continuous attendance and pursuing the same 
major at MC may elect to meet the major in effect either at the time of 
his or her entering the major, or at the time of his or her graduation 
from MC. This policy applies only to the requirements for course in a 
major (Certificates of Achievement and designated Associated degrees) 
and does not apply to general education requirements.
Variance in Major Requirements
Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major 
requirements as specified in the MC catalog due to circumstances 
beyond control of the student. Under exceptional circumstances, a 
student may file a Petition for Substitution or Waiver to seek approval 
from the appropriate college officials to substitute courses in designed 
major or in general education. The petition forms are available in the 
Counseling Center.
Guidelines for Additional Degree
Any college in the Ventura County Community College District will award 
an additional associate degree under the following conditions:
1. A student who has earned an associate degree at any regionally 
accredited institution may earn an additional associate degree.
2. A student who holds a higher degree from any regionally accredited 
institution may earn an associate degree in a specific major (this 
excludes the Associate in Arts in general liberal arts and sciences).
3. General education requirements earned for one degree may be applied 
toward another degree.
4. A candidate for an additional degree must complete 12 or more units 
of credit, in residence at Moorpark College, concurrent with or after 
completion of requirements for the first associate degree. In addition, 
a candidate must be in attendance at MC in the semester during which 
graduation requirements for the additional degree are completed.
5. A student must complete all the required courses listed in the catalog 
for the specific majors. In the event that unmet requirements for a 
specific major do not total 12 units, a student must complete the 
remaining units from electives listed under the major or courses as 
approved by the appropriate division.
6. In the case of degree offering two or more options, a student may 
earn an additional degree within the same filed by completing the 
requirements for that option (the additional degree) and all other 
requirements specified herein.
Appeals to the above policy may be submitted on a petition available 
in the Counseling Office for approval by the Executive Vice President of 
Student Learning. Waivers may be granted under extenuating circumstances 
or when there has not been sufficient opportunity to enroll in 
required courses.
Certificates of Achievement
A certificate of Achievement will be granted in specific vocational areas 
to any student who meets the following requirements:
1. Scholarship – A cumulative grade point average of not less than 
2.0 in all college and university work attempted.
2. Major – Completion of all courses required in a curriculum specific 
in the college catalog
3. Residency – Completion of at least 12 semester units in residence 
at the college granting the certificate.

completed a minimum of 12-36 units in an 
occupational curriculum.
ASSOCIATE DEGREES
Awarded to students who have successfully 
completed a minimum of 60 semester units in 
general education courses with at least 18 units 
in one curriculum area.
LICENSE/PERMIT PREPARATIONS
Successful completion of course(s) prepares 
students to take necessary exams. 

Certificates of Completion
Instructional divisions may award Certificate of Completing to students 
who have satisfactorily completed a course or a sequence of courses 
designed to lead them to specific types of employment or to an upgrading 
of skills.
Transfer Information
Preparation for Transfer
Students planning to transfer to a four-year university have a wide variety 
of options. The California State University (CSU) with 23 campuses, 
the University of California (UC) with 9 campuses and over 70 private, 
independent colleges in California provide a wide range of academic 
programs, physical and academic environments, and social climates. 
Moorpark College offers the equivalent of the first two years of these 
four-year college and university degrees. 
Students who are preparing to transfer are strongly encouraged to balance 
their studies by taking both general education courses and lower division 
major courses. Completing only general education courses, especially 
for high unit majors, such as business administration, natural sciences, 
math or engineering, may not be in a student’s best interest. Additional 
coursework may be completed as elective courses, to complement or 
supplement a major course of study.
Academic counseling is available to all students on an appointment basis. 
Each counselor is a specialist in several academic areas, and you may 
wish to see a counselor according to the major you declare. All counselors 
have the expertise to assist you with courses selection, program planning, 
and questions concerning requirements for admission, majors, general 
education and transfer to a four-year college or university. Students are 
encouraged to meet with a counselor as early as possible to discuss their 
educational plan.
Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA)
What is a Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA)?
A TAA is a formal, written agreement that outlines the courses a student 
must complete before transferring, states the grade-point average you 
must earn, (differs from college to college) and lists specific requirements 
for selective majors. Once it has been determined that a student is eligible 
to transfer to the University as a junior and that they meet the TAA criteria 
for their major, their Moorpark College counselor will start the process. 
A TAA is usually written after a student has completed 30 transferable 
units, normally up to one year prior to transfer. It is important that a 
student wishing to transfer under a Transfer Agreement begins working 
with a counselor in his/her major as soon as possible to carefully plan 
academic work.
Moorpark College students can explore TAA/TAGs with the following 
Universities: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles (under the Transfer 
Achievement Program), UC Merced (in progress), UC Riverside, UC San 
Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, CSU Channel Islands, CSU 
Northridge, CSU San Bernardino, CSU Sonoma, California Lutheran 
University.
Articulation with Four-Year Institution
To assist the student with transfer to four-year institutions, articulation 
agreements have been established with most California State University, 
University of California campuses and some independent California colleges 
and out-of-state institutions. These agreements define the courses 
at MC that satisfy General Education and many lower division major 
requirements at four-year institutions. A list of general education and 
major preparation courses for most California public four-year institutions 
can be found on ASSIST.
ASSIST
Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer 
(ASSIST) is a computerized student-transfer information system 
that can be accessed over the World Wide Web. It displays reports 
of how course credits earned at one California college or university 
can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the official 
repository of articulation for California’s colleges and universities 
and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information 
available about student transfer in California. ASSIST is available at 
www.assist.org.
CAN 
The California Articulation Number System (CAN) is a statewide numbering 
system independent from course numbers assigned by local colleges. 
A CAN number indicates that a participating California college 
or university will accept a course offered by other campuses “in lieu of” 
a course offered on their own campus. Each college uses its own course 
numbers; but when courses meet the CAN criteria, they are given a CAN 
number also. CAN designations appear below the course descriptions in 
the catalog. A list of participating colleges and their qualified courses is 
available in the CAN Web site at www.cansystem.org.

Transfer Admission Requirements to:
University of California (UC)
There are several ways to meet the University’s minimum admission 
requirements for transfer students, as described below. The path you 
use depends upon the degree to which you satisfy UC’s minimum eligibility 
requirements for freshmen at the time of graduation from high 
school.
1. If you were eligible for admission to the University when you graduated 
from high school, meaning you satisfied the Subject, Scholarship and 
Examination requirements, or were identified by the University during 
the senior year in high school as being eligible under the Eligibility 
in the Local Context (ELC) program you are eligible to transfer if you 
have a C (2.0) average in your transferable college coursework.
2. Students who met the Scholarship Requirement but who did not complete 
all the Subject Requirements must take appropriate transferable 
college courses in the missing subjects and earn a C or better in each 
course as well as an overall C average (2.0) in transferable courses.
3. Students who were not eligible for the University of California from 
high school because they did not meet the Scholarship Requirement 
must: 
(a) Complete 60 transferable semester units with a grade point average 
of at least 2.8 for non-resident students, and 
(b) Complete the following course pattern, earning at least a C (2.0) 
or better in each course: 
- two transferable college courses in English Composition; 
and 
- one transferable college course in mathematical concepts 
and quantitative reasoning; and 
- four transferable college courses (3 semester units each) 
chosen from at least two of the following subject areas: the 
arts and humanities, the social and behavioral sciences, the 
physical and biological sciences. 
All campuses require that students complete English composition and 
math by the end of the spring term prior to fall transfer. Some campuses 
also require that the 60 semester units minimum be completed no later 
than the spring semester.
Students who satisfy the Intersegmental General Education 
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) prior to transferring to UC 
will automatically satisfy option 3B above.
(Source: Introducing the University of 2005/2006; University of 
California Quick Reference for Counselors 2005/2006).
Career, Graduation and Transfer

Intersegmental General Education 
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) – 2005-06
General education requirements are designed to give University undergraduates 
a broad background in all major academic disciplines. Each 
school and college at every UC campus has its own general education 
requirement. Students can also have the option of completing the Intersegmental 
General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC).
The IGETC is a series of courses that community college students can 
use to satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any CSU 
or UC campus. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education 
Transfer Curriculum will permit a student to transfer without the need, 
after transfer, to take additional lower-division general education courses 
to satisfy campus specific General Education requirements.
The IGETC is not an admission requirement for transfer to a CSU or 
UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division general education 
requirements of the CSU or UC. Students may find it advantageous to 
take courses fulfilling CSU’s (campus specific) general education requirements 
or those of a particular UC campus. See your counselor for advice 
on your particular educational goal.

.Effective through Spring 2005.
NOTE: Courses used to meet this requirement may not be used to satisfy 
requirements for IGETC.
. Courses listed in more than one area shall not be certified in more than one area.
.Transfer credit may be limited by either UC or CSU or both. Please consult with 
a counselor for additional information.
ªBoth courses must be taken for certification.
(L) Designates courses with a laboratory.
Grades for IGETC 
All courses in the IGETC must be completed with a “CR” (Credit) or 
grade of “C” or better.
Full IGETC Certification
For certification, IGETC must be completed prior to transfer. Certification 
of these units is not automatic and certification must be requested 
at the MC Counseling Office after the student completes all of the IGETC 
requirements. Certification will not be made when course are still in 
progress or before grades are known.
Partial IGETC Certification
It is expected that all students using IGETC as their general education pattern 
will have completed it prior to transfer. However, partial certification 
may be requested if severe hardship (MUST be documented) prevented 
the student from completing all required courses. Hardship may be 
determined to be: (1) accident or illness in the FINAL semester at MC; (2) 
work schedule changes in the FINAL semester at MC; (3) course cancellation 
by the college in the FINAL semester; (4) documented counselor 
error. Area 1 and Area 2 CANNOT be completed after transfer.
If any of the above exceptions or situations applies to your academic 
record, please consult with a MC counselor for more information.
Double-Counting
Even though a course may be listed in more than one area on IGETC, 
a course may only be counted in one area. UC will allow requirements 
completed as preparation for the major to be used in the IGETC wherever 
they appear. In addition, courses use to satisfy the U.S. History, Constitution 
and American Ideals requirements can not be used to double count 
on the IGETC.
Quarter Units vs. Semester Units
Students with both quarter and semester unit course work may find it 
difficult to combine the two in order to complete the required number of 
units. Additional course work may be necessary in order to accumulate 
the required number of courses or units in certain IGETC areas. Please 
meet with a counselor for assistance.
Courses Completed at Other Colleges
Courses completed at any regionally accredited college can be used. 
However, the majority of courses used to complete IGETC requirements 
must be taken at a California community college. Course work from other 
California community colleges will be applied in the IGETC category 
listed from that campus. Courses must have been on that college’s IGETC 
list when the course was taken. Students transferring from other than a 
California community college may have course certified as equivalent 
to MC courses if an equivalent course is taught at MC. Such courses 
would be placed in the same IGETC category as the equivalent MC 
course. There are some restrictions about using courses from a CSU or 
UC to fulfill IGETC.
Courses Taken at Foreign Institutions
These courses will not be permitted for certification on the IGETC.
AP Scores for IGETC certification
AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 can be used to satisfy any IGETC subject area except 
the Critical Thinking/English Composition or the Oral Communication 
requirements (Area 1B & C). Each AP score can only be used as one 
course. The AP course must have been evaluated and approved by MC 
faculty. A list of faculty-approved Advanced Placement scores and equivalent 
courses is available from a Moorpark College counselor.
California State University Transfer
Requirements
The CSU guarantees admission to the CSU system to all California community 
college (CCC) students who meet CSU upper division transfer 
admission requirements. Effective Fall 2005, students with fewer than 
60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units are considered lower division 
transfer students, and those with 60 or more transferable semester (90 
quarter) units are considered upper division transfer. The CSU assigns 
the highest priority for admission to CCC transfer students who have 
completed 60 semester transferable units. 
Upper Division Transfer (60 to 70 semester units)
Students may qualify for admission if they: 
• Completed 60 semester (90 quarter) units 
• Have completed or will complete prior to transfer at least 30 semester 
(45 quarter) units selected from courses in English, Arts and Humanities, 
Social Sciences, Science, and a CSU GE approved mathematics 
course.
• Have a college GPA of 2.0 or better (2.4 for non-California residents) 
in all transferable college units completed.

No more than 1.5 units of the 3-unit Area E requirement can be met 
by a dance or physical education activity course.
Full Certification 
Completion of all five sections (A-E) of these requirements prior to transferring 
will permit MC to certify to each of the CSU campuses that you 
have fulfilled the basic 39-unit minimum lower division requirement in 
general education. Each of the campuses of CSU requires an additional 
nine units of upper division GE work in residence; some campuses may 
require more than the 48-unit minimum. Certification is not automatic 
and must be requested by the student.
Partial/Subject Area Certification
It is possible to complete separately any of the areas or sections (A-E) 
at MC and receive partial certification in any or several of those areas 
if you are not fully certified, it will be necessary for you to complete the 
remaining areas (and perhaps other areas) after transferring as defined 
by the catalog of the transfer school.
Course Restriction
While a course may satisfy more than one general education group and/or 
area requirement, it shall not be counted more than once and any excess 
units in one area shall not apply to another area.
U.S History, Constitution and
American Ideals Requirements
All campuses require students to complete college-level coursework in 
U.S. History, American and California Government. Courses approved to 
satisfy this requirement are specified in the appropriate areas and most 
may be double-counted toward satisfying General Education Breadth 
requirements. 
Sequential Courses
Most institutions recommend that students complete sequential courses 
at the college where the series was started. This is especially recommended 
for a sequence of two or more courses which require the preceding 
course(s) as a prerequisite to advancement.
Advanced Placement Examinations in CSU General Education-
Breadth Certification
The following Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated 
into certification of completion of CSU General Education-Breadth 
requirements. Students must have scored 3, 4, or 5 on an Advanced 
Placement examination listed below to receive the credit indicated. All 
Career, Graduation and Transfer

CSU campuses will accept the minimum units shown below toward fulfillment 
of the designated General Education-Breadth area if the examination 
is included in a full or subject-area certification; individual CSU 
campuses may choose to accept more units than those specified below 
towards completion of General Education-Breadth requirements. The 
CSU campus to which the student is transferring determines the total 
number of units awarded for successful completion of an Advanced 
Placement examination to the graduation requirements.

CAVEAT – the courses and requirements described herein are subject to 
change. Students should consult a counselor and appropriate Web sites 
(e.g.,www.csumentor.edu, www.assist.org) to receive the most current 
transfer information.
Private or Out-of-State Schools
Students who are planning to enter one of California’s many private 
four-year schools or an out-of-state public or private school should carefully 
check the general education requirements for that particular school 
and consult a counselor to determine the coursework needed to meet GE 
requirements at that institution. Articulation agreements for some local 
universities can also be found at www.aiccutransfer.dagsoft.com. Below 
is the admission and general education requirement for University of 
Southern California (USC).
University of Southern California
GENERAL TRANSFER INFORMATION
All USC students must complete six general education (GE) courses 
(four of which can be completed at Moorpark College). In addition, 
there are requirements in writing, diversity, and (for certain majors) 
foreign language. Students have different GE and writing requirements 
depending on when they started college. For more information, see the 
booklet “Transferring to USC,” available from the USC Office of Admission 
or on the Web at: http://www.usc.edu/dept/admissions/undergrad/
transfer/index.html.
DIVERSITY REQUIREMENT: All students who entered college in Fall 
1993 or thereafter (at USC or elsewhere) must meet USC’s diversity 
requirement.
LOWER DIVISION WRITING REQUIREMENT: Any of the courses below 
fulfills the lower division writing requirement if completed after graduating 
from high school and before starting at USC: ENGL M01B, M01BH, 
M01C, M01CH, PHIL M05 or SPCH M25. An additional upper division 
writing course will need to be completed at USC.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE SKILL LEVEL: Certain USC majors have a language 
requirement for graduation. This requirement is to comple the third 
semester of a college-level foreign language with a passing grade (C- or 
higher), or to pass USC’s placement examination at a level equivalent 
to third semester competency. Students who do not finish their third 
semester before transferring to USC must take USC’s placement examination 
to determine their level of competency. If the test score indicates 
placement into a level which the student has already completed, the 
student will be required to repeat the course at USC for no additional 
credit. Therefore, if your major requires the foreign language skill level 
and if you have started taking a foreign language, you are advised to 
complete the requirement before transferring to USC.
