Policy Regularattendance and consistent study are the two factors which

contribute most to success in college work. A college studentis expected to attend all sessionsof the classes in which enrolled.

Failure to .attend class can result in a lower grade or dismissalfrom class. A

student establishesa priority in a class upon registration, whichis contingent upon attending the first scheduled class meeting. Any registered student who fails to attend the first meetingof the class forfeits any priority in that class and may be droppedfrom the roll in order to accommodate any student wishingto register in the class. When,

in the instructor's opinion, a student' s absences in a specific

class preclude the successful completion of the course requirements, he/she may be dropped from the class. In the eventof extenuating circumstances such as verified illness, accidentor conditions beyond the control of the student; the instructor,

may allow the student to continue under - special arrangement. Catalog

Rights Students

have "catalog rights" in the selection of regulations determininggraduation. requirements. These requirements in- cludegeneral education/ breadth requirements, major requirements, and other requirements such as competency and State coderequirements. Catalog' rights•are maintainedby.enrollment inone semester or two quarters of each calendar year at a CaliforniaCommunity College or California State University. Any

break in'attendance of onecalendar year or longer, or attendance duringa regular semester/ term at a campus other than aCalifornia Community Collegeor California State Universi- ty, willbreak a student' s continuous attendance status.

University of California ( UC) System

The nine University of California campuses welcome community college transfer students. UC campuses support a " transfercore curriculum," however, each of the nine campuses and the

individual majors have unique requirements. Students planningto transfer to a UC campus should see the Merced College/ UC

counselor as soon as possible and work closely with the UCrepresentative in the Transfer Center in planning an appropriateprogram of study.

A partnership program exists between Merced College andthe University of California at Davis. Transfer Admission Agree- ments are offered to students who meet the minimum UC admis-

sions requirements. With this document, the Merced College

student will be guaranteed admission to UC Davis up to one year

in advance of transferring. A UC Davis admissions representative is, in the Transfer Center regularly to meet with MercedCollege students.

Private Colleges and Universities

There are approximately 112 independent or private schoolsin the State of California not supported by state tax revenues. They vary greatly in programs offered, size, and number oftransfer students. Each school acts autonomously, evaluatingcoursework on an individual basis. To obtain specific transfer

information, contact the Office of Admissions at the school to

which you wish to transfer. A Merced College counselor can helpyou plan your transfer program.

specific credential requirements for teaching in a Califor- niapublic school should be consulted frequently for changes in lawand changes in the interpretationof law. ' 1.

Primary concern should be the General Education Re- quirementsof the college in which the upper division workis to be taken. Those students planning to obtain anelementary credential should complete Math 20AB andshould pursue a liberal studies major. 2.

An advisor should be consulted to make certain that major

prerequisites are being fulfilled. It

is advisable for students to work closely with a counselor in planningtheir transfer programs for elementary teaching. Engineering

Widelydiversified professional engineering programs are availableat California universities. Merced College offers the first

two years of engineering to prepare students for transfer at thejunior class level in a bachelor's degree program. Students

must be aware that completion of the course selection

below does not necessarily satisfy all lower division requirementsas specified by the Engineering Liaison Committee.
