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. College educated persons should be able to use this knowledge when evaluating and appreciating the physical environment, the culture, and the society in which they live. Most importantly, general education should lead to better self-understanding. This understanding involves the ability to think and to communicate clearly and effectively both orally and in writing; to use mathematics; to understand the modes of inquiry of the major disciplines; to be aware of other cultures and times; to achieve insights gained through experience in thinking about ethical problems; and to develop the capacity for selfunderstanding. In addition to these accomplishments, students should possess sufficient depth in some field of knowledge to contribute to lifetime interest. To meet the objectives of general education: A. Courses in the natural sciences are those that help students examine the physical universe, its life forms, and its natural phenomena; and develop an understanding and appreciation of the scientific method and of the relationships between science and other human activities. B. Courses in the social and behavioral sciences help students develop an understanding of the method of scientific inquiry used in the social and behavioral sciences; stimulate in students critical thinking about human behavior; and promote an appreciation of how societies and social subgroups have operated in the past and function in the present. C. Courses in the humanities help students develop an awareness of how people of different cultures throughout the ages have responded to themselves, other people, and their environment in artistic and cultural creation; develop aesthetic understanding and the ability to make value judgments; and participate in creative experiences. D. Courses in language and rationality help students develop principles and applications of language toward logical thought, clear and precise expression, and critical evaluation of communication in whatever symbol systems the students use. E. Courses in health and physical activity help students develop the understanding and skills necessary to maintain a healthful life. F. Courses in ethnic and women’s studies help students develop an awareness of the historical roots and an appreciation of the cultural contributions of diverse ethnic populations and women; lead to an understanding of the causes and consequences of socio-economic inequality based on race, sex or ethnicity; and explore ways of eliminating such inequalities.

Certificates of Completion A Certificate of Completion may be awarded to a student upon successful completion of a course or series of courses as designated in the College Catalog. Successful completion is defined as satisfactory (2.0) scholarship. Certificates of Completion are granted by selected instructional departments of the College. Some are specified following the programs set forth under Associate Degree and Certificate of Achievement major requirements. Others are specified in the announcement of courses section of this Catalog as a part of individual course descriptions. Consult your instructor for further information.

MOORPARK COLLEGE: exotic animal training and management; and, radiologic technology. OXNARD COLLEGE: addictive disorders studies; air conditioning/ refrigeration; automotive body and fender; dental hygiene; environmental technology; fire academy; fire technology; hotel and restaurant management; and, legal assisting. Continuous Enrollment A student remaining in continuous enrollment in regular sessions (fall and spring semesters; summer session not counted), at one or more of the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District (VCCCD) or at any other regionally accredited college or university, may meet the VCCCD graduation requirements in effect at the time of his or her entering or at any time thereafter. This applies only to graduation requirements and to the remedial coursework. Continuous enrollment is defined as attendance in at least one semester each calendar year. Any academic record symbol entered 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 is granted a petition/waiver for extenuating circumstances. This petition must be initiated by the student through a college counselor and approved by the appropriate dean or designee. Students must be aware that other governing agencies impose more restrictive limitations concerning the definitions of continuous enrollment or continuous attendance. Some agencies define continuous enrollment as remaining in attendance both fall and spring semesters. Some will not accept selected academic record symbols (such as Ws). Those affected by more restrictive guidelines include students receiving financial aid and alien students. Double Counting When a course(s) required for a specific major is also on the list of approved general education courses, the course(s) may be used to satisfy both major and general education requirements, if the student satisfies the minimum 18-unit requirement for the major. Variance in Major Requirements Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major requirements as specified in the Ventura College Catalog due to circumstances of class scheduling conflicts, class cancellation, or related but nonequivalent coursework taken outside of this college district. Under such circumstances, a student may file a petition to seek approval from the appropriate college officials to substitute one or more courses for the designated major course or courses in question. It is also possible that a student may demonstrate competency in subject matter covered by a required course or courses (for example, computer literacy or foreign language). In this case, a student may file a petition to seek approval to waive one or more required courses for a designated major. The petition for this purpose, Petition for Variance, is available in the Counseling Office.

Students who choose not to enter when selected or after a deferment must reapply and receive a new random number assignment. After students have been selected by the above procedure, a physical examination must be passed prior to entry into the program. This exam must be consistent with the policies of the teaching hospitals or agencies to which they are assigned for clinical experience. Physical exams may be scheduled with a private physician or through the Student Health Center utilizing the forms provided by the School of Nursing. The examination must demonstrate that the student is physically fit, free from communicable diseases and immune to rubella, rubeola, and varicella. Completion of the hepatitis B vaccine series is required. All students admitted to a health science program are expected to maintain the highest personal standards of conduct consistent with the professional standards as perceived by the School of Nursing faculty and professional personnel in the agencies used as extended campus sites. Any information indicating that such standards are not maintained is subject to review by members of the School of Nursing faculty and may result in a recommendation to the College for dismissal from the program. Evidence of physical and emotional fitness upon admission and throughout the program is expected and is subject to medical opinion of the college physician and to medical opinion or policy of hospitals or agencies which are used as extended campus sites for assigned educational experience. Students should refer to the Functional Abilities outlined in the School of Nursing Student Handbook for details. Current certification as a CPR health care provider or professional rescuer is an additional requirement. It is anticipated that students in the associate degree nursing program will be required to undergo criminal background checks prior to participating in clinical experiences. The cost of a background check is expected to be approximately $60.00 and must be borne by the student. Please be aware that conviction of a felony may prohibit you from being licensed as a registered nurse. Each case is reviewed and adjudicated by the Board of Registered Nursing. The Board considers the nature and severity of the offense, additional subsequent acts, recency of acts or crimes, compliance with sanctions, and evidence of rehabilitation. For further information, contact the program director in the School of Nursing. Contact with the Board of Registered Nursing to discuss previous convictions may be initiated before entry into the program and this will be recommended in certain cases. Associate Degree Curriculum The associate degree program in nursing is intended to develop the necessary knowledge and skills basic to the functions of registered nurses in the direct care of clients. Many of the courses assigned to this curriculum are transfer courses and articulation is possible with the baccalaureate programs in nursing at the California State University campuses. The courses may be applied as a foundation for advanced work at the discretion of the accepting institution. Courses are taken on campus concurrently with supervised clinical experience in selected hospitals and agencies, constituting a nursing science practicum or laboratory experience. Although each course merits a letter grade, the laboratory experience is based on pass-fail and it is necessary to pass the laboratory section of the course in order to proceed in nursing. Failure in the laboratory portion of nursing courses constitutes an "F" in the course. For successful completion of the program, a minimum grade of C is mandatory in all courses required for the nursing major. These include courses outside the discipline of nursing but required for the major, such as anatomy, microbiology, etc. The student must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 to continue in the program. Courses are taken on campus concurrent with supervised clinical laboratory experience in selected hospitals and agencies which serve as extended campus sites. Each student is responsible for his/her own transportation to the extended campus sites, some of which are a distance from the College. The nursing program is accredited by the California State Board of Registered Nursing. To be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination leading to licensure as a registered nurse, the student must have fulfilled all requirements as defined by the California State Board of Registered Nursing. Students who choose not to complete the degree requirements are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensing examination after completion of content required for licensure. Please contact the ADN program director for additional information. 30-Unit Option To be eligible for this option, a student must be a vocational nurse who is licensed to practice in California. Interested candidates should contact the nursing counselor for an individual evaluation of eligibility. Individuals who become licensed as registered nurses using this option may not be eligible for licensure in states other than California. Students pursuing this option must complete NS V31 and V41 instead of NS V30 and NS V40. All career ladder programs are on a space available basis. ADN Regional Collaborative The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Regional Collaborative is a partnership between five colleges—Ventura College (VC), College of the Canyons (COC), Glendale Community College (GCC), Los Angeles Pierce College (LAPC), and Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC)—and eight clinical agencies which provide the first year of nursing courses leading to an associate degree in nursing. Students are admitted from existing waiting lists of the five colleges to teleconferenced theory courses at VC, COC, or GCC. Clinical assignments may be provided at any hospital. Students on existing waiting lists at the five participating colleges will be notified by mail of the opportunity to participate in the collaborative option (CO) program and will need to submit a separate application. Students will be admitted in the Spring of 2006 to Ventura College through this option. A student who chooses not to participate in the CO will retain his/her position on the waiting list. Students in the CO will complete the first and second semesters at either VC, COC, or GCC then return to their home school to complete the third and fourth semester courses. All CO students will complete specific third and fourth semester courses. Students completing the ADN program at Ventura College will also be required to complete all GE required for the traditional Ventura College nursing program. Please see a nursing counselor for specific details. 66 - Degrees, Programs, Transfer Information Ventura College Catalog 2005-2006 EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PARAMEDIC STUDIES Procedures for Applying In keeping with the standard in the state of California, the Ventura College Paramedic Program offers two tracks: certification as a paramedic with or without an associate degree.

Any information indicating that such standards are not maintained is subject to review by members of the health science faculty and may result in a recommendation to the College for dismissal from the program. Evidence of physical and emotional fitness upon admission and throughout the program is expected and is subject to medical opinion of the college physician and to medical opinion or policy of hospitals or agencies which are used as extended campus sites for assigned educational experiences. It is anticipated that students in the emergency medical services program (paramedic) and/or the emergency medical technology courses (EMT) will be required to undergo criminal background checks prior to participating in clinical experiences. The cost of a background check is expected to be approximately $60.00 and must be borne by the student. Hospital and internship rotations will be assigned as space is available. This may result in extension of program time-frame. Program Options The paramedic program is intended to develop the necessary knowledge and skills basic to the functions of paramedics in the direct care of clients. It consists of theory, basic skills, clinical experiences and a clinical preceptorship which will prepare the graduate to take the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians licensing examination. Students who successfully complete the Emergency Medical Services – Paramedic Studies program will receive a Certificate of Achievement from Ventura College. Although each course merits a letter grade, the laboratory experience is based on pass-fail and it is necessary to pass the laboratory section of the course in order to proceed in the paramedic program. Failure in the laboratory portion of the paramedic courses constitutes an F in the course. For successful completion of the program, a minimum grade of B is mandatory in all paramedic courses. The student must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 to continue in the program. For those students who choose the associate degree option, additional courses satisfying general education requirements are required. The program is accredited by the California State Emergency Medical Services Agency and the Ventura County Emergency Medical Services Agency. To be eligible to take the examination leading to licensure as a paramedic, the student must have fulfilled all requirements as defined by the Ventura County Emergency Medical Services Agency and the state of California. 2005 Ventura College Commencement Program in Braille 68 - Degrees, Programs, Transfer Information Ventura College Catalog 2005-2006 Preparation for Transfer Most students attending Ventura College can complete all necessary transfer requirements for admission to four-year colleges or universities, including courses required in preparation for their selected major and general education requirements. Ventura College offers a wide variety of courses which will prepare the transfer student for almost any major offered in the state. The College has written contracts with four-year colleges and universities regarding transfer requirements (see ASSIST below). These agreements specify lower-division requirements which may be completed at Ventura College. Ventura College courses have been carefully articulated as comparable to or acceptable in lieu of the required lower division major courses specified in the catalogs of the transfer institutions. Some majors, notably those requiring mathematics and/or natural sciences, demand adequate high school preparation to enable a student to transfer in a timely fashion. In addition to major requirements, Ventura College students can satisfy general education or breadth requirements, as defined by the four-year college or university, in preparation for transfer. These requirements are listed in the Ventura College Catalog for selected institutions. With careful planning, most students who attend Ventura College can satisfy all requirements for admission to baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Universities uniformly prioritize the importance of these several requirements. In order of importance, a student prepares for transfer by completing the following: 1. ADMISSIONS—Complete all three admissions requirements: a. Units (minimum number of units which transfer to school of choice). b. Scholarship (GPA in transfer courses). c. Subject area (a-g requirements of both CSU and UC). 2. SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSIONS—Consult your counselor concerning additional requirements which apply to selected universities and colleges and to selected majors. These requirements can affect your eligibility for admission. 3. MAJOR PREPARATION—Complete the lower division courses required for the major selected. This is particularly important for high-unit majors with sequential courses based on prerequisites. 4. GENERAL EDUCATION—Complete general education/ breadth requirements. ASSIST ASSIST is a computerized 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 public 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 TRANSFER INFORMATION Transfer of Credits Ventura College is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is generally accredited throughout the country by reciprocal agreements with state departments of public instruction and other accrediting agencies. Students should keep in mind that recognition by a regional accrediting agency only supports the standing of the college and does not assure acceptance of all transfer students from that college.
