181 Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 Moorpark College is a partner in every student’s educational pursuit. If students succeed, we succeed. One of our main objectives in this partnership is to provide access to all the rules and regulations regarding course work as well as to all the special services that can help students do the best they can in their classes. To meet this objective, there are many Campus Services available. Moorpark College encourages all students to take advantage of all we have to offer. Matriculation The primary goal of Matriculation is to assist all students in attaining academic success. The college and each individual student work together combining several activities and processes to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The SEP is a schedule of recommended courses. Within the Matriculation process both college and student responsibilities are defined. College responsibilities include: 1. Admissions and Records – provide an admissions and records process that will enable the college to collect state required information on students. 2. Assessment – provide an assessment process using multiple measures to determine students’ academic readiness in English, Math, and English as a Second Language. www.moorparkcollege.edu/access 3. Orientation – provide an orientation process designed to acquaint students with college programs, services, facilities and grounds, academic expectations, and college policies and procedures. www.moorparkcollege.edu/orient 4. Counseling/Advisement – provide counseling services to assist students in course selection, development of an individual student educational plan, and use of campus support services; provide additional advisement and counseling to assist students who have not declared and educational goal, are enrolled in basic skill courses, are on academic probation/dismissal, or have been identified as high-risk. 5. Follow-up – establish an Early Alert process to monitor a student’s progress and provide assistance toward meeting educational goals; provide students with (or direct them to) written district procedures for challenging matriculation regulatory provisions. NOTE: Alternative services for the matriculation process are provided for ethnic and language minority students and students with disabilities. Student responsibilities include: 1. Submit official transcripts from high schools and colleges attended. 2. Acquire and read the college catalog, class schedules, handouts, and other student materials which detail college policies and procedures. 3. Indicate at least a broad educational goal upon admission. 4. Declare a specific educational goal after completing a minimum of 15 units. 5. Participate in orientation, assessment, advisement groups and other followup support services deemed necessary by the college in order for students to complete their stated educational goals. 6. Attend all classes and complete all course assignments. 7. Complete courses and maintain progress toward their educational goals. Campus Services Exemption Policy New, returning, or transfer students who may be exempted from the matriculation process are students who: • Already have an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree • Are attending Moorpark College for personal enrichment • Are enrolled only in non-credit community education courses • Are taking classes only to upgrade job skills • Are enrolled in apprenticeship or other special vocational education programs • Are concurrently enrolled in another college or university Exempt students are not required to participate in the matriculation process, but are encouraged to see a counselor. Counseling Services Counseling services are available on a day and evening basis to Moorpark College students. Through a coordinated guidance program, counselors assist students with academic planning and also in career and personal matters. Although any counselor can help any student, students often develop a working relationship with a particular counselor, since consistent contact and follow-up can maximize the counseling efforts. In addition, most counselors have a specified connection to specific majors. For more specific information log on-line at www.moorparkcollege.edu/counsel. Academic Counseling Accurate information about program requirements and course prerequisites is essential for planning courses of study. Counselors serve as valuable resource people in helping select appropriate classes, since they stay aware of any changes that may affect completion of majors, general education and/or transfer requirements. Counselors can help students select the best combination of courses to meet the lower division transfer requirements at the eventual transfer institution. Meeting regularly with a counselor helps ensure progress toward achieving an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. If a student has not selected a major field of study, they are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan and to identify a major. Students may arrange for academic advising by making an appointment at the Counseling Office in the Administration Building or by phoning 378-1428. There is usually a counselor available at the counseling desk to help those students who stop by for immediate help. Career Counseling The Career Development program offers a variety of services and resources designed to aid students in the process of choosing, changing or confirming career goals and life planning. In addition, the college library maintains current written and audio-visual materials on local, state, and national job markets. Students are encouraged to use the career resources in the Transfer/Career Center for computerized career assessments and research. Career Workshops, résumé assistance, and special events are also available. Individualized career counseling is available by appointment. Call: (805) 378-1536. Personal Counseling Getting the maximum benefit out of going to college sometimes involves complications that influence all aspects of life, not just the academic arena. Students are encouraged to come to the counseling area where a professional counselor will be able to assist with any such non-academic concerns.

Financial Aid Moorpark College believes that no student should be denied access to the educational experience because of lack of funds. Financial Aid’s basic goal is to make funds available to students in need in an equitable manner, following closely regulated state and federal laws. Eligibility Eligibility for financial aid is determined by a Department of Educationapproved system which calculates the difference between the ability of students and their families to provide for their financial needs and the amount required to meet educational expenses while attending college. The policy of the Ventura County Community College District is in compliance with the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1998, emphasizing that no financial aid applicant will be discriminated against on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, marital status, age, sex, or physical impairment. For some programs, financial aid eligibility requires a minimum of six (6) units of enrollment each semester. Continued eligibility requires successful completion of contracted units with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above.
