| Q |
Do I have to
declare a major or commit to a degree or certificate program in order to
attend Chaffey College?
|
| A |
No. You may take classes to learn a particular
skill or for personal enrichment. However, if you are interested in achieving
some long-term educational and career goals, extensive academic programs,
services and resources are available. The clearer, more specific, and more
realistic your objectives are, the more helpful the faculty and staff can
be in assisting you to meet those objectives.
|
| Q |
What is a full-time load?
|
| A |
For fall and spring semesters, it is 12 units.
For summer, it is 6 units.
|
| Q |
How many units must I take
each term?
|
| A |
You are not required by the college to take
a minimum number of units each term. The number of units you take will
depend on several factors, such as the number of hours you are employed
each week, your degree/certificate objectives, your own timetable for graduation
and/or transfer, and eligibility requirements if you are receiving financial
aid, veteran benefits, or other kinds of benefits. Counselors are available
to assist you with your educational planning.
|
| Q |
How do I add an open class?
|
| A |
Submit a Program Change Form to the Admissions
office before the published deadline dates.
|
| Q |
If a class is closed
at registration, is there still a way to enroll in the class?
|
| A |
If you would like to enroll in a class that
is closed, you should ask an Admissions clerk to put you on the wait list
and then attend the first meeting of that class. At the first meeting,
the instructor will determine which students may add the class, giving
priority to those students on the wait list. If accepted, you must submit
a Program Change Form ("add slip"), signed by the instructor,
to the Admissions office. This is to be done during the Late Registration
period or deadline specific to the class.
|
| Q |
What is the procedure for
dropping a class?
|
| A |
Submit a Program Change Form to the Admissions
Office by the "drop" deadline. Do not assume that instructors
will automatically drop you for non-attendance. A withdrawal during the
first 30% or fourth week of the term (whichever is less) will not reflect
on your record. A withdrawal after this time will result in a grade of "W" appearing
on your record. "W" grades are not used in calculating grade
point averages, but excessive "W" grades may result in probation
or dismissal. All students who have not withdrawn from the class by 75%
of the course shall be given a letter grade (A-F). Different deadlines
apply to classes that are less than a semester in length. These regulations
are subject to change. You are advised to check with your instructor for
specific withdrawal deadlines.
|
| Q |
Do I have to repeat
a class in which I earned a D or F grade?
|
| A |
Not necessarily. However, certain requirements
may be met only with a "C" or better grade, such as the English
and math competency requirements for the associate degree and all courses
required for an occupational certificate. Also, if the course is specifically
required for the major, you are generally advised to repeat a "D" grade
and must repeat any "F" grade. Upon completion of the repeated
class, the previous grade earned will be omitted from your grade point
average and lined through on your academic record.
