REGISTRATION / MATRICULATION / COUNSELING SERVICES

CONTINUING STUDENTS: (Students attending Shasta College Spring 2008) and RETURNING STUDENTS (students not attending Shasta College Spring 2008 but who have previously attended) may register. Students planning to enroll in math or English classes are advised to take the appropriate assessment test and consult with a counselor before registering. See “Assessment Test Information” section for details and where and when assessment tests are given. FIRST-TIME STUDENTS are STRONGLY URGED to take advantage of the matriculation services described in the 2007-2008 College Catalog. Those who do will be eligible for “priority registration” and be able to register for classes before the college’s Open Registration period. Participation in matriculation services is OPTIONAL for the following students (if you fall into one of these categories, contact the Admissions Office for appropriate registration information):

1. Students who have received a full array of matriculation services at another California Community College.
2. Students who plan to enroll only in courses having no English and/or math skill requirements/prerequisites.
3. Students who plan to enroll in fewer than 6 units and who have “personal interest,” advancement in their current jobs, or maintenance of a certificate or license as their goals.

FOR AN APPLICATION PACKET AND COMPLETE INFORMATION ON EACH OF THESE PROCEDURES, CONTACT THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE IN PERSON OR BY TELEPHONE AT (530) 242-7650


COUNSELING SERVICES: Counselors provide information about the college and other academic, transfer, and career counseling. Specially trained counselors are available to students with special needs. Counseling is offered on both an appointment and drop-in basis with day and/or evening appointments available. For more information or to make an appointment, call the Counseling Center at (530) 242-7724 or visit their website: http://www3.shastacollege.edu/counseling/counselhome.htm. Follow-up counseling is also available throughout the semester to help students plan and achieve their educational and career goals. Students are encouraged to schedule follow-up appointments to develop an educational plan or to review transfer and/or graduation requirements.
 

WAIT LIST: Wait Lists are available for most course sections. Once a class section has closed, the student may elect to be placed on a “wait list” and the student’s schedule will reflect this class as a “wait list” status. If an opening occurs in the class, the first person on the “wait list” will automatically be enrolled into the section and sent a notice accordingly with instructions on making fee payment. Any student who elects to be placed on “wait list” status must attend the first class meeting and identify him/herself to the instructor as a “Wait List” candidate or in the case of internet courses, the student must email the instructor no later than the first day of the term.

STUDENTS FAILURE TO ATTEND THE FIRST CLASS MEETING OR EMAIL INTERNET INSTRUCTORS WILL JEOPARDIZE THEIR STATUS AS A WAIT LIST CANDIDATE.

Faculty will be required to give “Wait List” students who follow these procedures priority before approving any other over-enrollment in the class. The “Wait List” option is no longer in effect once the semester begins.

If no “Wait List” option is available on a closed class section, students may elect to attend the first class meeting of the section in which they wish to over enroll to request approval from the instructor or can select another class section that is open.

IF OVER ENROLLMENT APPROVAL IS GRANTED, IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO RETURN THE ADD FORM, WHICH MUST INCLUDE THE INSTRUCTOR’S SIGNATURE AND FIRST DATE OF ATTENDANCE, TO THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE AND/OR EXTENDED EDUCATION SITE TO HAVE THE REGISTRATION PROCESSED.

The student will not be considered officially enrolled in the class without the add/registration form being processed and an official receipt generated.

OVER ENROLLMENT CANNOT BE PROCESSED VIA ON-LINE WEB REGISTRATION.

Over enrollment permission is granted by the instructor signing the student’s registration/add form and the student returning the signed form to the Admissions Office and/or Extended Education site office to enroll in the class and pay any related fees. Students who do not have the over enrollment registration processed will not be considered officially enrolled and will not receive a grade or credit for the class(es).

Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Procedure

The student will obtain the required form from the Admissions & Records Office.

The Office of Instruction will retain documentation of Board Policy and Title 5 regulations regarding prerequisite/corequisite challenges. A student may review this information prior to submitting a prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form.

  A student who chooses to challenge a prerequisite or corequisite may do so for any of the following reasons:

  1. The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course or program despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite;
  2. The prerequisite or corequisite has not been established in accordance with the district’s process for establishing prerequisites and corequisites;
  3. The prerequisite or corequisite is in violation of
Title 5;
  4. The prerequisite or corequisite is either unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner;
  5. The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal of his or her educational plan because the prerequisite or corequisite course has not been made reasonably available, or accessible;

  If a student is citing reason # 1 as the basis for challenging the prerequisite/corequisite, the student must first have failed to meet the prerequisite/corequisite through the Multiple Measures Procedure.

  A statement of specific skills and abilities needed to enter the class for which the challenge is being issued will be made available to the student through the Office of Instruction on any workday.

  The student must complete a prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form. The student must attach a completed and signed Multiple Measures Form to the prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form. The student must return these forms along with the other supporting documentation to the Director of Admissions and Records. The student has the obligation to provide satisfactory evidence that the challenge should be upheld. Without supporting documentation, the application for a challenge will be considered incomplete and the challenge will be denied. When a complete application is filed, the Director of Admissions and Records will forward the Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Form and supporting documentation to the appropriate Academic Center Office. The Academic Center staff will arrange a Challenge Hearing.

  If the challenge form is submitted during the period when the student is eligible to register for the course, and if space is available, then the student will be conditionally enrolled in the target course until resolution of the challenge is complete.

  Two or more faculty members will conduct the Challenge Hearing. If possible, the faculty members will be from a discipline closely related to the target course. The student will have the right to attend and speak at the Challenge Hearing. Staff from the appropriate Academic Center Office will attempt to notify the student regarding the time and location of the Challenge Hearing at least one business day prior to the start of that hearing. The results of the Challenge Hearing will be documented and forwarded to the student and to the Admissions & Records Office within five business days from the date that the challenge was filed with the Director of Admissions and Records. If the college has not made a decision within five working days then the student’s challenge is upheld and the Admissions & Records Office will allow the student to enroll in the course.

  If a student is citing reason # 2, #3, #4 or #5 as the basis for challenging the prerequisite/corequisite, the student must submit a completed Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Form along with supporting documentation to the Vice President of Academic Affairs in the Office of Instruction.

  The student has the obligation to provide satisfactory evidence that the challenge should be upheld. Without supporting documentation, the application for a challenge will be considered incomplete and the challenge will be denied. When a complete application is filed, the Vice President of Academic Affairs will conduct a Challenge Hearing. This hearing will include as voting members, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, one faculty from the Curriculum Council and one other faculty, preferably from a discipline closely related to the target course.

  The student will have the right to attend and speak at the Challenge Hearing. Staff from the Office of Instruction will attempt to notify the student regarding the time and location of the Challenge Hearing at least one business day prior to the start of that hearing. The results of the Challenge Hearing will be documented and forwarded to the student and to the Admissions & Records Office within five business days from the date that the challenge was filed with the Vice President of Academic Affairs. If the college has not made a decision within five working days then the student’s challenge is upheld and the Admissions & Records Office will allow the student to enroll in the course.

  Note 1: Students who submit a prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form claiming that a specific disability is a factor in their challenge rationale must forward a copy of the prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form to the Disability Resource Center. The Disability Resource Center will determine if accommodations or academic adjustments are warranted.

  Note 2: Students who initiate the challenge procedure during registration may obtain the prerequisite/corequisite Challenge Form at the registration site and submit the completed form along with supporting documentation at that site. If space is available, the student will be provisionally enrolled in the target course until resolution of the challenge is complete. Staff at the registration site will time-stamp the form and forward it to the Director of Admissions & Records, or to the Vice President of Academic Affairs as appropriate. The Challenge Procedure will then proceed as outlined above.
