• Move to the evacuation areas shown on the map below.

• Try and remain calm.

Where do you go?

All personnel not otherwise needed to assist should proceed to the nearest Evacuation Area. If access to the primary Evacuation Area is blocked, then go to another Evacuation Area.

What to do with the injured?

Without jeopardizing yourself or the injured, move the injured to a safe distance from the area being evacuated.

Provide them with first aid only as necessary to move them to a safer location.

If the injuries are too severe to allow the person to be moved, immediately find a volunteer to remain with the injured and send a call for immediate medical assistance.

Communicate to emergency responders by cell phone, radio, or a runner with a note.

Evacuation for persons with disabilities

If there is a person with a disability in the class, the instructor should know the person’s evacuation plan and who may be assisting him/her. Discuss evacuation plans with persons with disabilities at the start of class session and create a plan for evacuation. There are five ways to help a person with disabilities.

• Evacuation by wheelchair, two-person carry or assisted walking

• Horizontal Evacuation to outside or another building

• Stairway Evacuation – use stairway evacuation equip-ment

• Stay in Place unless danger is imminent

Mission Statement


Student Learning Outcomes

At Los Angeles Valley College, institutional-level outcomes are embedded in our program-level outcomes with our pathways model. LAVC has seven Institutional Learning Outcomes:

1. Academic Habits of Mind

2. Communication Skills

3. Global Awareness

4. Professional Behavior

5. Reasoning Skills

6. Social Responsibility and Personal Development

7. Technical Skills

LA Valley College has defined an instructional program as a major education pathway that a student takes through the institution. We have three such pathways: the Foundational Program, the Career-Technical Education (CTE) Program, and the General Education (GE)/Transfer Program. The three programs have a few common goals, such as Communication Skills and Reasoning Skills, and a few that are unique to the program (e.g., Technical Skills for the CTE Program and Global Awareness for the GE/Transfer Program).

Foundational Program Outcomes

The Foundational Program includes those courses coded as being at the basic skills, pre-collegiate level. The goals focus on the improvement of communication skills, reasoning skills, and academic habits of mind. Students in this program may be seek-ing personal enrichment, the strengthening of skills relative to employment, or to progress to collegiate-level courses.

The outcomes are: 1) Communication Skills, 2) Reasoning Skills, and 3) Academic Habits of Mind.

Communication Skills: Students will have improved skills in reading and writing.

Reasoning Skills: Students will be able to ask appropriate questions and acquire, evaluate, and interpret information at a foundational level. Included in this are improved skills in math-ematics.

Academic Habits of Mind: Students will develop academic habits of mind in order to become successful learners.

Career-Technical Education Outcomes

The CTE program includes disciplines that have a CTE TOP code. The primary emphasis of the program is for students to achieve their goals relative to employment and includes general skills in communication and reasoning, specific technical skills appropriate to the field of study, and an emphasis on demon-strating professional behavior.

The outcomes are: 1) Communication Skills, 2) Reasoning Skills, 3) Professional Behavior, and 4) Technical Skills.

Communication Skills: Students will be able to clearly com-municate through writing, speaking, listening and reading.

Reasoning Skills: Students will be able to acquire, evaluate and interpret information. As a result, students will be able to solve problems relevant to their field of study.

Professional Behavior: Students will be able to demonstrate appropriate professional behavior (e.g., timeliness) and interper-sonal skills (e.g., teamwork, leadership, cultural diversity).

Technical Skills: Students will be able to demonstrate techni-cal skills appropriate to their field of study.

General Education/ Transfer Program Outcomes

General Education/Transfer Outcomes represent skills and con-cepts students will learn upon completion of the general educa-tion requirements for a degree or transfer to a 4-year institution. These outcomes are broad based and cut across the curriculum bringing coherence and connection to the learning experience. Imbedded in these are the greater goals of critical thinking and life-long learning.

The outcomes are 1) Reasoning Skills, 2) Communication Skills, 3) Global Awareness, and 4) Social Responsibility and Personal Development.

Reasoning Skills: Students will be able to ask appropriate questions, collect accurate information, evaluate its quality, and reflectively and creatively analyze, synthesize and organize the information. As a result, students will be able to reason logically and come to reliable conclusions which will enable them to suc-cessfully navigate the world around them.

Communication Skills: Students will be able to clearly express, transmit, and interpret knowledge and ideas through writing, speaking, listening and reading.

Global Awareness: Students will be able to assess how the world has been and continues to be shaped by natural, social and cultural processes and evaluate how their own lives are impacted by these processes.

Social Responsibility and Personal Development: Students will be able to take responsibility for their own actions and well-being, make ethical decisions in complex situations, and participate actively in a diverse society.

Enrollment Priority Policy Changes: Effective Fall 2014

The California Community Colleges Board of Governors estab-lished system-wide enrollment priorities effective Fall 2014. Enrollment priorities dictate how registration appointments are assigned.

These changes are designed to ensure class availability for stu-dents seeking job training, degree attainment, transfer. They also reward students making progress toward their educational goals.

Check out Using Etudes and Online Learning Success.

Hybrid vs. Online A hybrid class combines face-to-face and online instruction. The students and teacher work online via the inter-net but still meet part of the time in the classroom during scheduled hours. If you are the type of person who wants in person support from your instructor and the chance to meet other students, this might be the option for you

An online class takes place over the internet. It is more convenient in terms of fitting in with your schedule. However, your teacher may require the class to meet in person for an ori-entation or to take the exams.

Students should petition for a Certificate of Achievement in Intersegmental General Education Transfer (IGETC) at the same time as the petition for certification. See page 2 for footnote explanations. Every effort has been made to ensure that this information is accurate; however, students should consult an LAVC counselor periodically to determine whether there have been any changes or corrections. WARNING! Consult a Valley College counselor before taking courses outside Valley College to be used on this IGETC general education plan, particularly if taking courses elsewhere in the LA College District. Every community college may apply its courses differently on general education, even if the course has the same course number and title. *For UC and CSU transfer credit, these courses are considered “same as” and credit is limited to one course

OPEN ENROLLMENTUnless specifically exempted by law, every course for which state aid is claimed is fully open to any person who has been admitted to the college and who meets the appropriate academic prerequisites.

How to Enroll1. File an application online and receive an appointment to

enroll.

2. See Steps to Successful Enrollment on page 11 for instructions on how to enroll online.

3. If you miss your registration appointment, you may still register for classes anytime AFTER your scheduled appointment.

4. If you have not applied to the college prior to the start of the classes you MUST get an Add Permit from the instructor and submit a paper application along with the Add Permit to Admissions & Records.

STUDENT RECORDS AND DIRECTORY INFORMATIONThe Los Angeles Community College District, in compliance with Federal and State law, has established policies and proce-dures governing student records and the control of personally identifiable information. The Los Angeles Community College District recognizes that student records are a confidential mat-ter between the individual student and the college. At the same time, the District has a responsibility, to fulfill public informa-tion needs (i.e., information about students participating in ath-letics, announcements of scholarships and awards, etc.). To meet this responsibility the District may release Directory Information unless the student states in writing that he or she does not want it released. The responsibility for carrying out these provisions is charged to the college Records Officer, designated by the Chief Administrative Officer on each campus. The Records Officer may be contacted via the Admissions Office. Copies of the Federal and State laws and District policies and procedures are maintained by the Records Officer and are available for inspec-tion and inquiry.

All student records maintained by the various offices and departments of the college, other than those specifically exempt-ed by law, are open to inspection by the student concerned. The accuracy and appropriateness of the records may be challenged in writing to the Records Officer. A student has the right to receive a copy of his or her records, at a cost not to exceed the cost of reproduction. (Requests for transcripts should be made directly to the Admissions Office).

No student records, other than Directory Information, will be released without the written consent of the student concerned except as authorized by law. A log of persons and organizations requesting or receiving student record information is maintained by the Records Officer. The log is open to inspection only to the student and the community college official or his or her desig-nee responsible for the maintenance of student records.

Directory Information includes the student’s name, city of residence, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the most recent previous educational agen-cy or institution attended by the student. Directory Information about any student currently attending the college may be released or withheld at the discretion of the Records Officer.

No Directory Information will be released regarding any student who has notified the Records Officer in writing that such infor-mation shall not be released.

All inquiries regarding student records, Directory Information, and policies for records access, release, and challenge should be directed to the Records Officer via the Admissions Office.

Students have the right to file a complaint with the United States Department of Education concerning alleged violations of Federal and State laws governing student records.

UNITS OF WORK/STUDY LOAD

Study Load Limitations

Maximum unit requirements are as follows:

Fall/Spring Semesters1. The maximum study load is 18 units during a regular

semester. The normal class load for students in the Fall or Spring semester is 12 to 18 units a semester for full-time students. A college program of 15 units is equal to at least a 50-hour work week for most students.

2. Students who desire to take 19 or more units must obtain counselor approval after the semester begins by present-ing an Add Permit signed by the instructor for each class they wish to add.

3. The maximum study load for a student who has been on academic and progress probation for two consecutive semesters is 6 units. Students who desire to enroll in more than 6 units must obtain counselor approval.

Academic Policy


Academic Policy – continued

Enforcement of 30-Unit Limit on Basic Skills Courses

Title 5, California Code of Regulations, limits a student from taking more than 30 units of “remedial” course work, which is defined as “nondegree applicable, basic skills courses.” The LACCD registration system will prevent students who have exceeded this limit from enrolling in additional basic skills courses. However, a student who has reached this limit, but enrolls in a credit or non-credit English as a Second Language (ESL) course, will be allowed to also enroll in additional basic skills courses. Students with a learning disability may request an exemption through the Services for Students with Disabilities Office (formerly DSPS). Also, this limitation does not apply to enrollment in non-credit basic skills courses.

Petitioning the 30-Unit Limit on Basic Skills Courses

Students may petition to take more than 30 units of basic skills courses by submitting a Remedial Coursework Limitation Waiver Petition to the Admissions Office. The petition must include a Student Educational Plan issued by a counselor.

The following courses are considered Basic Skills courses for purposes of this unit limitation:

n Communication Studies 61-1, 61-2, 61-3, 62-1, 62-2, 64, and 66

n Developmental Communications 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 22E, 23, 35, 36A, and 36B

n English 21, 33, 67, 68, 80, 82, 83, 98, 361, and 362

n Learning Skills 1, 2, 4, 10, 13, 40, and 41

n Math 105, 110, and 112

Program Changes

It is essential that enrollment forms be completed accurately and carefully. While classes may be dropped any time before the end of the 11th week, “Add Permit” forms may be obtained and processed only through the published deadline. The Admissions Office requires a picture I.D. to process any pro-gram changes.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT To attend any of the Los Angeles Community Colleges as a resident of California, a student is required to have been a California resident for more than one year immediately pre-ceding the “Residency Determination Date.” The “Residency Determination Date” is the day before classes begin. Residence is defined as a union of act and intent. (Additional regulations apply to non-United States citizens.)

Non-Resident Tuition Fee Exemption on the Basis of Demonstrated Financial Need

Students who are citizens and residents of a foreign country, or who are legally precluded from establishing residency in California, shall be entitled to exemption from nonresident fees on the basis of individual financial need in accordance with regulations adopted by the Chancellor.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Supplemental Application for Admissions of Students in Grades K-12

High school students are allowed to enroll while they are still in high school provided they fill out an Admissions Application and get the approval of their principal or designee on a Concurrent Enrollment Form.

Deciding Which Classes To Take

The principal or designee signing the Concurrent Enrollment Form should approve the class(es) in which you are attempting to enroll. However, you are still required to meet college-level prerequisites for any course you wish to take. If you are plan-ning to take English or Math classes you must be assessed prior to enrollment. For more information about assessment testing, contact the Assessment Center at (818) 947-2587 or go to www.lavc.edu/assessment.

Enrolling In Classes

High school students can choose to take Advanced College Enrollment (ACE) classes or general concurrent enrollment on select high school campuses. Courses vary by semester so stu-dents should see their college counselor for more information.

n ACE Classes Students should check with their high school counselor for further information.

n After School Classes Students must apply to the college and submit a Concurrent Enrollment Form. For more information, students should talk to their high school counselor or college advisor.

n General Courses/Intersession Students must apply to the college and submit a Concurrent Enrollment Form to the Office of Admissions and Records during normal business hours. Students will be assigned an internet-registration appointment and will need to register for classes online at their assigned registration date and time. For more information go to Admissions and Records located in the Student Services Center (1st floor).



Paying Your Fees

Concurrently enrolled resident middle/high school students are exempt from paying enrollment fees, as long as they enroll in 11 units or less. If they enroll in 11 units of more they will have to pay for all units enrolled. K-12 students taking classes on the LAVC campus are required to pay an $11 Student Health Fee.

K-8 STUDENTS Students who are enrolled in K-8 as of the 1st day of the semes-ter they plan to attend must meet a variety of requirements before they can be admitted. K-8 applications must be submit-ted by the deadline indicated on the inside front cover. Students K-8 must:

n Fill out an admissions application: This application helps determine whether a student meets the minimum admis-sions criteria to be eligible to attend.

n Submit a Supplemental Application for Admissions of Students in Grades K-12: signed by the Principal giv-ing the student permission to attend Los Angeles Valley College before graduating from high school must sign the Concurrent Enrollment Form.

n Submit a letter from the Principal on school letterhead, stating the appropriateness of requested course(s).

n Submit a statement from the student indicating the rea-son for wanting to enroll in a college course.

n Submit a transcript of the student’s academic records.

Admission Procedures for K-8 Studentsn Submit your Admissions Application and Concurrent

Enrollment Form: Once you have filled out the Admissions Application and received permission from your middle/high school to attend, you may submit your application to Academic Affairs located in Admin 1.

n Meet with the K-8 Admissions Committee: The committee is responsible for deciding whether the student can ben-efit from instruction at Los Angeles Valley College.

n Decide which classes to take: The principal signing the Concurrent Enrollment Form should approve the class (es) in which you are attempting to enroll. For additional information or assistance you should make an appointment to see your school counselor.

n Pay your fees: Concurrently enrolled resident K-8 students are exempt from paying enrollment fees.

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSSome of the classes offered may require students to provide those materials which are of continuing value to the student out-side of the classroom setting. These materials may be purchased at the campus bookstore.

ATTENDANCEThe only students who may attend classes are those who have been admitted to the college and are in approved active status.

Students are expected to attend every meeting of all classes for which they are registered. Violation of this regulation may result in exclusion from class as specified in Administrative Regulation E-13. Provisions of Administrative Regulation E-13 include the following:

n STUDENTS WHO HAVE REGISTERED FOR A CLASS AND WHO DO NOT ATTEND THE FIRST MEETING OF THE CLASS FORFEIT THEIR RIGHT TO A PLACE IN THE CLASS. SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE CONSIDERED BY THE INSTRUCTOR.

Attendance Guidelinesn Whenever absences in hours exceed the number of

hours the class meets per week, the instructor will con-sider whether there are mitigating circumstances which may justify the absences. If the instructor determines that such circumstances do not exist, the instructor may exclude the student from the class.

n Three cases of tardiness may be considered equivalent to one absence.

n It is the student’s responsibility to consult with an instructor regarding any absences that would alter the student’s status in the class. Instructors may be reached by calling the department or writing to the instructor at the college address or email address.

AUDITING CLASSESStudents may be permitted to audit a class under the following conditions:

1. Payment of a nonrefundable $15 per unit fee. Students enrolled in classes to receive credit for 10 or more semester units shall not be charged a fee to audit three or fewer semester units per semester.



2. No student auditing a course shall be permitted to change his or her enrollment in that course to receive credit for the course.

3. Class enrollment priority shall be given to students desiring to take the class for credit.

4. Permission in the form of a signed “Audit Add Permit” must be obtained from the instructor.

5. The fees are non-refundable and payment is due upon processing the audit form.

6. Transferring from “credit” to “Audit” after the deadline to add is not permitted.

7. Audit classes are not covered by Financial Aid.

ADDING CLASSES1. After you submit your online application, you will

receive an email with directions on how to follow our matriculation process.

2. You will be given an appointment to register.

3. You may enroll in open classes using the online registration system.

4. To add classes once the semester begins, you must obtain an Add Permit form from the instructor of the class. Bring this Add Permit to the Admissions Office

Campus Procedure

No semester courses may be added after the normal add period (published in the Schedule of Classes). Short-term and Open-Entry/Open-Exit classes have different add periods. Check with the Office of Admissions and Records for deadlines. Attending classes without being properly enrolled is not permitted.

Withdrawal

New statewide regulations are now in effect that change the way students should think about enrolling in, and then withdrawing from classes.

Community colleges get their money from state apportionment. Apportionment is a set amount of dollars distributed to the col-lege districts, based on enrollment. Each class you enroll in results in compensation to the college, and that is how the college stays open.

It used to be that a student could withdraw from the same course up to 4 times, and in addition repeat the course up to two times to try to improve a grade of D or F. In other words, you could get a “W” in the same course 4 times and complete the course up to three times until attaining a grade of “C” or better.

Now a “W” counts as an attempt, and you only get three attempts at any one course.

After that, the state won’t pay the college for you to take the course again.

What this means for LAVC students:

n If you stay in a course past the “no penalty” drop date and then drop it or are excluded, you receive a grade of “W” and you have used up one of your three attempts.

n When you have made three attempts at a class, with any combination of “W”, “D”, or “F” grades, you will not be able to register for the class again. You would have to try to take the class again at a college outside the Los Angeles Community College District.

n You may petition for one more try citing “extenuating cir-cumstances;” however, for the most part the only extenu-ating circumstances that will work are military deploy-ment or natural disaster.

n If your registration is blocked because of this rule, getting an Add Permit will not help.

What you should do:

n If you’re going to drop, drop before the deadline so you won’t get a “W”.

n Be sure you’re academically ready for classes you enroll in.

n See a counselor to help you make good decisions about your educational plan.

It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw official-ly. Consult the calendar on the inside front cover for deadlines.

Dropping Classes

THROUGH THE 2nd WEEK: No notation (“W” or other) will appear on the student’s record if the class is dropped during the first two weeks of the semester.

THROUGH THE 11TH WEEK: A notation of “W” (withdrawal) is recorded on the student’s record for classes dropped during the 3rd through the 11th week of the semester.

AFTER THE 11TH WEEK: Students who remain in class beyond the 11th week (or 75% of the class for short term classes) are given a grade by the instructor. THAT GRADE CANNOT BE A “W” (withdrawal). Consult the deadline calendar in the Schedule of Classes or contact the Office of Admissions & Records.



Enrollment/Schedule Conflicts

Enrollment in more than one section of the same course dur-ing a semester is not permitted, with the exception of certain Kinesiology classes on a limited basis.

Enrollment in courses which are cross-referenced to each other (i.e., courses designated "same as" in the catalog will be rejected.

Enrollment in classes scheduled or conducted during overlap-ping times is prohibited.

ASSESSMENT English placement recommendations in reading, writing, and language usage are provided to help students plan their pro-grams. Assessment is required for all new non-exempt students. Recommendations are based on multiple measures, combining test results with student background data. Please call (818) 947-2587 to schedule an appointment for all assessments. For more information please go to www.lavc.edu/assessment/. ENL (English as a Native Language) Assessment

Students whose primary language is English, or who are profi-cient in English, should take the ENL Assessment. ENL assess-ments are computerized and offered by appointment.

ESL (English as a Second Language) Assessment

Students who want to learn English should take the ESL assessment. ESL assessments are computerized and offered by appointment.

Math Assessment

Math assessments are computerized and offered by appointment.

Special Assessment

Special assessment is provided upon request for ethnic, language minority, or disabled students.

What is computerized adaptive testing?

In computerized-adaptive testing the computer selects the test questions administered to the student. The computer adapts each test to the examinee. The computer keeps track of a stu-dent’s performance on each test item and uses this information to select the next item to be administered or whether the stu-dent will move on to the next level of the test or not.

Note: Assessment tests may only be taken once.

NOTE: Special arrangements can be made for students who require special accommodations.

Electronic samples are available on our website at www.lavc.edu/assessment/.

MATH AND ENGLISH COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTStudents entering prior to Fall 2009 must demonstrate com-petence in reading, written expression and mathematics. This requirement may be met by achieving a grade of “C” or better in appropriate courses, recommended by the District Academic Senate, and approved by the Chancellor or by achieving a pass-ing score on an examination or examinations recommended by the District Academic Senate and approved by the Chancellor.

All students entering on or after the Fall 2009, must establish competence in written expression by obtaining a satisfactory grade in English 101, or another English course, at the same level and with the same rigor as recommended by the District Academic Senate and approved by the Chancellor. Competence in mathematics shall be demonstrated by obtaining a satisfactory grade in Mathematics 125 (Intermediate Algebra), or another mathematics course at the same level and rigor, or higher and with elementary algebra or higher as a prerequisite, as recom-mended by the District Academic Senate and approved by the Chancellor.

The competency requirements in mathematics may also be met by completing an assessment, conducted pursuant to Title 5, CCR, section 55500 and achieving a score determined to be comparable to satisfactory completion of Mathematics 125. That is, students may place into mathematics courses above the Mathematics 125 level, or they may achieve a satisfactory score on a competency exam or other approved exam as recom-mended by the District Academic Senate and approved by the Chancellor.


The competency requirements may also be met by obtaining a satisfactory grade in courses with English and mathematics con-tent (but taught in subjects other than English and mathemat-ics), which require entrance skills at a level equivalent to those necessary for English 101 and Mathematics 125, and are taught at the same level and with the same rigor. The District Academic Senate shall recommend such courses to the Chancellor for approval.

Credit for External Exams

Students may be awarded credit for external exams once enrolled at the college. Each external exam follows distinct poli-cies. Students who take an Advanced Placement (AP) Exam, and International Baccalaureate (IB) Exam or College-Level Examination (CLEP) Exam in the same topic area will receive credit for only one exam. The college will award credit for the exam that most benefits the student.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Credit

Course equivalency for Advanced Placement exams, for pur-poses other than meeting general education and graduation competency requirements for the Associate Degree are described below. To be eligible to receive credit for Advanced Placement exams, the student must be enrolled at Valley College during the semester in which credit is to be granted. Advanced Placement exam scores must be 3 or higher in order to receive credit. Students may file a petition for credit by seeing a counselor in the Counseling Department. Official AP score reports must be sent directly to the Admissions Office.

Please refer to page 26 of the 2014-2015 catalog for a chart on how general education credit is earned for the IGETC general education plan requirements. Please refer to page 30 of the 2014-2015 catalog for a chart on how general education credit is earned for CSU general education certification. Please refer to page 38 of the 2014-2015 catalog for a chart on how general education credit is earned for LAVC general education. The amount and type of transferable credit granted towards a uni-versity’s admission or major requirements is determined by that university’s AP policies, not by Valley’s policies; other univer-sity’s policies often differ from Valley’s policies. See a counselor for further information. Credit acquired by AP exams is not applicable towards meeting unit load requirement, Veteran’s Administration benefits, Social Security benefits, or athletic eligibility.

The following is a list of course equivalencies for Advanced Placement exams. This course equivalency information is used for satisfying Associate Degree major or Certificate requirements.

Campus Procedure

The college makes the final judgment regarding the acceptability of courses from non-accredited schools.

PASS/NO PASS COURSESThe grade of P (Pass) (formerly CR) will be given if the perfor-mance in class is equal to a C grade or better. The grade of NP (No Pass) (formerly NC) will be given if the performance in class is equal to a D or F grade. A student who has received credit for a course taken on Pass/No Pass cannot repeat that course. A student must have a C or better average in all work attempted at LAVC.

Students considering taking courses for Pass/No Pass in their major field should see a Counselor or major field department chairperson in order to avoid loss of credit.




The courses listed below may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis providing the student meets the requirements for enrollment on this basis. Information concerning the requirements is avail-able in the Admissions Office. In order to take a class on a Pass/No Pass basis, the student must make such request in the Admissions Office by Friday of the 5th week of the semester.

(List subject to change)

NOTE: A STUDENT WHO HAS RECEIVED A GRADE OF “PASS” FOR A COURSE TAKEN ON A PASS/NO PASS BASIS MAY NOT CONVERT THE “PASS” GRADE TO A LETTER GRADE.

Grades and Grade Changes

The instructor of the course shall determine the grade to be awarded to each student in accordance with the following Grading Symbols and Definitions Policy. The determination of the students grade by the instructor is final in the absence of mistake, fraud, bad faith, or incompetence. The removal or change of an incorrect grade from a students record shall be done only upon authorization by the instructor of the course and approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs. No grade may be challenged by a student more than one year from the end of the term in which the course was taken. For more information on grade challenges, see the Academic Policy sec-tion of this catalog.



In the case of fraud or incompetence, the final determination concerning removal or change of grade will be made by the College President.

Grading Symbols and Definitions

Only the symbols in the grading scale given in this section shall be used to grade all courses offered in fulfillment of the require-ments for an Associate or Baccalaureate degree, a certificate, diploma, or license.

Grades shall be averaged on the basis of the point equivalencies to determine a student’s grade-point-average, using the follow-ing evaluative symbols:

SYMBOL DEFINITION GRADE POINT

A Excellent 4

B Good 3

C Satisfactory 2

D Less than satisfactory 1

F Failing 0

P Pass (at least Satisfactory. Units are not counted in GPA, P has the same meaning as CR.)

NP No Pass (less than satisfactory or failing. NP has the same meaning as NC.)

NGG No Grade Given (This non-credit course is not graded and carries no units.)

(P and NP grades may be given only in courses authorized by the Districts Pass/No Pass Option and Credit By Examination Policies.)

The following non-evaluative symbols may be entered on a students record:

SYMBOL DEFINITION

I Incomplete Incomplete academic work for enforceable, emergency,

and justifiable reasons at the end of the term may result in an I symbol being entered in the students record. The condition for removal of the I shall be stated by the instructor in a written record.

This record shall contain the conditions for removal of the I and the grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This record shall be given to the student, with a copy on file in the college Admissions Office until the I is made up or the time limit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evalu-ated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed.

The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for grade points. THE “I” MAY BE MADE UP NO LATER THAN ONE YEAR FOLLOWING THE END OF THE TERM IN WHICH IT WAS ASSIGNED. The student may petition for a time extension due to unusual circumstances with their instructors.

Note: Courses in which the student has received an Incomplete (I) may not be repeated unless the I is removed and has been replaced by a grade of D or F. This does not apply to courses which are repeatable for additional credit.

SYMBOL DEFINITION

IP In Progress The IP symbol shall be used only in those courses which

extend beyond the normal end of an academic term. IP indicates that work is in progress, but that assignment of a substantive grade must await its completion. The IP symbol shall remain on the students permanent record in order to satisfy enrollment documentation. The appro-priate evaluative grade and unit credit shall be assigned and appear on the students record for the term in which the required course work is completed. The IP shall not be used in calculating grade-point-averages. If a student enrolled in an open-entry, open-exit course is assigned IP at the end of an attendance period and does not complete the course during the subsequent attendance period, the appropriate faculty will assign an evaluative symbol (grade) as specified above to be recorded on the students permanent record for the course.

SYMBOL DEFINITION

W Withdrawal Withdrawal from a class or classes shall be authorized

through the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction or 75% of the time the class is scheduled to meet, which-ever is less.

No notation (W or other) shall be made on the record of a student who withdraws during the first two weeks, or 30% of the time the class is scheduled, whichever is less.

Withdrawal between the end of the second week (or 30% of the time the class is scheduled to meet, whichever is less) and the last day of the fourteenth week of instruc-tion (or 75% of the time the class is scheduled to meet, whichever is less) shall be authorized after informing the appropriate faculty. A student who remains in class beyond the fourteenth week or 75% of the time the class is scheduled shall be given a grade other than a W. An evaluative grade (A, B, C, D, F, P, NP) is assigned to students who are enrolled past the end of the 14th week even if they stop attending class.



After the last day of the fourteenth week (or 75% of the time the class is scheduled, whichever is less), the student may withdraw from class by submitting a petition and demonstrating extenuating circumstances and after con-sultation with the appropriate faculty. Students should obtain a petition in the Admissions Office. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illness, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. Withdrawal after the end of the fourteenth week (or 75% of the time the class is scheduled, whichever is less) which has been authorized as extenuating circumstances shall be recorded as W.

The W shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for the students grade-point-average.

W’s are used as factors in probation and dismissal and are counted as attempts.

SYMBOL DEFINITION

RD Report Delayed The RD symbol is assigned by the Admissions Office only

in cases where there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation replaced by a perma-nent symbol as soon as possible.

Grading Standard

A course grade of “C minus” does not satisfy the “C or better” requirement for purposes of prerequisites, competencies or transfer to UC or CSU.

COURSE REPETITIONCertain courses in the catalog may be repeated for additional unit credit. These courses, marked RPT in the course description section of the catalog and in the schedule of classes, allow the student an expanded educational experience each time the stu-dent enrolls in the course.

ENROLLMENT IN ACTIVE PARTICIPATION COURSES

Effective Fall 2013, students enrolled in “active participation courses” in physical education (kinesiology), visual arts, or performing arts are limited to 4 enrollments per “family” group within the LA Community College District. All grades including withdrawals count as enrollments.

Even if a family contains multiple courses, a student can only take 4 of them. This applies to courses in the areas of Music, Art, Dance Specialties, Dance Techniques, Kinesiology (Physical Education), and Theater. Not all courses listed below are offered at Valley College but are offered at other col-leges in the LA district. Note that courses within a family may be “leveled.” That means, for example, beginning, intermedi-ate, and advanced courses. Students still are limited to no more than 4 enrollments within the family group. For example, Kinesiology 251 has four levels: KIN 251-1, 251-2, 251-3, and 251-4. You could enroll once in each level. However, if you enrolled in KIN 251-1 twice (due to withdrawal or substandard grade) you effectively will have no opportunity to take KIN 251-4. Additions are made to the list on an ongoing basis as new curriculum is developed.

COURSE REPETITION TO REMOVE A SUBSTANDARD GRADEStudents may repeat courses in which substandard grades (“D”, “F” or “NP”) were awarded in the District.

The Chancellor, in consultation with the District Academic Senate, may adopt regulations to limit course repetition within specific programs.

This policy only applies to courses taken at colleges within the Los Angeles Community College District.

Courses completed through the provisions of Board Rule 6704-CREDIT BY EXAMINATION-may not be used to remove a substandard grade.

A. FIRST AND SECOND COURSE REPETITION TO REMOVE A SUBSTANDARD GRADE.

1. Received three substandard grades for the same District course.



2. Filed a petition specifying the course(s) to be repeat-ed and stating the extenuating circumstance(s) upon which the petition is based. “Extenuating circum-stances” may include, but are not limited to, verified cases of accidents, illness, military service, significant lapses of time, changes in program or major, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student.

3. Had the petition approved prior to the start of the semester the student intends to enroll in the course by the local academic senate or a committee acting on behalf of the academic senate, and by the college president or designee.

Attendance for a third repetition may not be claimed for state apportionment.

Upon completion of the third repetition, the grade used in computing the student’s cumulative grade point aver-age shall be the highest grade earned, and the student’s record will be so annotated. The three lowest substan-dard grades will not be used in the computation of the grade point average.

Repetition of Courses in which a Satisfactory Grade was Recorded

a. Repetition of courses for which a satisfactory grade (“A,” “B,” “C,” “P’) has been recorded shall be permit-ted only upon advance petition of the student and with the written permission from the college president, or designee, based on a finding that extenuating circum-stances exist which justify such repetition or that there has been a significant lapse of time since the student previously took the course.

b. When course repetition under this section occurs, the student’s permanent academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, insuring a true and complete academic history.

c. Grades awarded for courses repeated under the provi-sions of subsection “a” and “b” of this section shall not be counted in calculating a student’s grade point average.

d. The college’s procedures for allowing repetitions under subsections “a” and “b” shall be developed in conjunc-tion with the college senate in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XVIII of the Board Rules — ACADEMIC SENATE AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHARED GOVERNANCE POLICY.

e. Repetition of courses where a satisfactory grade (“A,” “B,” “C,” or “P’) has been recorded shall be permitted, without petition, in instances when such repetition is necessary for a student to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of continued paid or volunteer employment.

Such courses may be repeated for credit any number of times, regardless of whether or not substandard work was previously recorded, and the grade received each time shall be included for purposes of calculating the student’s grade point average.

The college may establish policies and procedures requiring students to certify or document that course repetition is necessary to complete legally mandated training pursuant to this subsection. The college’s pro-cess for certification or documentation of legal training requirements shall be developed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter XVIII of the Board Rules – ACADEMIC SENATE AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHARED GOVERNANCE POLICY.

f. A student may repeat any course if the college has prop-erly established a recency prerequisite for a course, or there has been “significant lapse of time.”

If the district determines that a student needs to repeat an activity course due to significant lapse of time, that repetition shall be counted in applying the limit on repetitions set forth in Title 5, CCR, subdivision (c)(4), except that, if the student has already exhausted the number of repetitions permitted under subdivision (c)(4), an additional repetition due to significant lapse of time may be allowed.

g. A student with a disability may repeat a special class for students with disabilities any number of times, based on an individualized determination that such repetition is required as a disability-related accommodation for that particular student for one of the reasons specified in Title 5 CCR section 56029.

Background: This revision conforms to the August 2007 revisions of Title 5, California Code of Regulations.

OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSPERSON

Student Grievance Procedures

The purpose of Administrative Regulation E-55 is to provide students a prompt and equitable means for resolving student grievances. The grievance procedure may be initiated by one or more students who reasonably believe he/she/they have been subject to unjust action or denied rights involving their status or privileges as students. It is the burden of the student(s) to submit proof of alleged unfair or improper action. Grievances pertaining to grades are subject to the CA Education Code Section 76224(a). For any matters requiring the attention of the Ombudsperson, and for additional information or resources, please contact Dr. Annie G. Reed at (818) 947-2320 or email her at [email protected] for a confidential communication. For complaints surrounding actions dealing with alleged dis-crimination on the basis of ethnic group identification, religion, age, sex, color, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, students are directed to contact Office of Diversity Programs by calling (213) 891-2317 or via email at [email protected] or http://www.laccd.edu/Departments/DistrictResources/OfficeOfDiversity/Pages/default.aspx.

Grade Grievances - Informal Remedy

Grade grievances can be resolved informally. The first step is to contact his/her professor to discuss the problem. If the issue is not resolved, or if the student is unable to meet with the profes-sor, the next step is to contact the Department Chairperson. If a resolution is not met after meeting with the Department Chairperson, the next step is to meet with the area Dean over the department in the Office of Academic Affairs.

Grade Grievances – Formal Resolution Procedures

The CA Education Code Section 76224(a) specifies that the instructor’s determination of student grades shall be final, except in the case of fraud, mistake, bad faith or incompetence. A student who reasonably believes, and has proof, that his/her instructor has issued an evaluative final grade based on any of these grounds, he/she is directed to contact the Ombudsperson at (818) 947-2320 for assistance. The Grievance Hearing Request must be made within one-hundred and twenty (120) calendar days of the date of the alleged incident that is the basis of the student’s complaint.

COMPLAINT PROCESS NOTICE

Most complaints, grievances or disciplinary matters should be resolved at the campus level. This is the quickest and most successful way of resolving issues involving a California Community College (CCC). You are encouraged to work through the campus complaint process first before escalating issues to any of the following resources. Issues not resolved at the campus level may be presented:

• To the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) at http://www.accjc.org/com-plaint-process if your complaint is associated with the institution’s compliance with academic program qual-ity and accrediting standards. ACCJC is the agency that accredits the academic programs of the California Community Colleges.

• To the CCC Chancellor’s Office by completing the web form below if your complaint does not concern CCC’s compliance with academic program quality and accrediting standards.

The Chancellor’s Office website is: http://www.cccco.edu/ChancellorsOffice/Divisions/Legal/Discrimination/tabid/294/Default.aspx

STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINARY ACTIONCommunity college districts are required by law to adopt stan-dards of student conduct along with applicable penalties for violation (CA Education Code Sections 66017, 66300, 76030 and 76031.) The Los Angeles Community College District has complied with this requirement by adopting Board Rules 9803, Standards of Student Conduct and 91101, Student Discipline Procedures. The purpose of Board Rule 91101 is to provide uniform procedures to assure due process when a student is charged with a violation of the Standards of Student Conduct. All proceedings held in accordance with these Board Rules shall relate to the alleged violation of appropriate standards of student conduct. Discipline measures may be taken by the col-lege independently of any charges filed through civil or criminal authorities, or both. [complete text of Board Rules can be found on www.lavc.edu]

The Board Rules on Student Discipline Procedures and Academic Dishonesty apply to all classes (face-to-face as well as distance education).

Los Angeles Valley College is dedicated to maintaining an opti-mal learning environment for students as outlined in LACCD Board Rule 9803.



These standards apply to all current students on campus, former students, online students, while attending any college-sponsored classes, activities or events. Violations of such rules, or behavior adversely affecting suitability as a student, may lead to disciplin-ary action.

POLICY ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTYAcademic dishonesty is defined as: Violations of Academic Integrity include, but are not limited to, the following actions: cheating on an exam, plagiarism, working together on an assign-ment, paper or project when the instructor has specifically stat-ed students should not do so, submitting the same term paper to more than one instructor, or allowing another individual to assume one’s identity for the purpose of enhancing one’s grade (Standards of Student Conducts 9803.28. Adopted 11-5-08).The consequences for academic dishonesty can be determined by the instructor and/or with the assistance of the Vice President Student Services, or designee. For repeat offenses, students are subject to a system called progressive discipline, which can lead to suspension and/or expulsion from the LACCD.

Although the facts and circumstances surrounding each incident of alleged academic dishonesty may differ, the following are examples illustrating academic dishonesty.

1. In-class academic dishonesty, or otherwise known as “cheating,” can occur when there is unauthorized looking at, procuring or sharing information from any unauthor-ized source. An “authorized source” is from a college offi-cial. This can apply to looking at or operating any kind of electronic device during class when directed not to.

2. Out of class academic dishonesty, or otherwise known as “cheating,” can occur when students obtain an unau-thorized copy of sealed test questions or any other kind of exam that has not been published to the public at large. It also applies to changing, altering, or any other kind of falsification of a scantron, essay, exam, or any other kind of test or college document with the intent of procuring another grade or benefit.

3. Plagiarism is the representation of expression of ideas from either published or unpublished work(s) as students own. We encourage students to always cite sources to avoid the appearance of plagiarism. Using text from internet sources without proper citation is considered to be plagiarism.

4. Furnishing false information can take the form of forg-ery, falsification, alteration, or misuse of college docu-ments, records, or identification in class or laboratory situations.

5. Attempting to bribe a college official with an object of value or money to procure a higher grade than earned is considered to be academic dishonesty.

Examples of Academic Dishonesty (non-inclusive) • Copying or procuring answers from another student

during in-class or online exams and handing them in as one’s own.

• The use of notes, books, dictionaries, or other refer-ences during an in-class or online exam that are not authorized by the instructor.

• Signing one’s name to an official college document for another not present in class, in a lab, or for any other reason.

• Unauthorized use of electronic devices to communi-cate such as text messaging, cell phone, or emailing any other person during an in-class or online exam.

• Unauthorized talking during in-class exams.

Consequences of Cheating

At the time of the violation, penalties for academic dishonesty, determined by the instructor, can result in a zero score for the exam or work in question. In addition, the Vice President of Student Services, or designee, may impose other penalties for violations of the Student Code of Conduct. Student discipline charges resulting in warning, reprimand, restitution, disciplinary probation, suspension, or expulsion become part of a student’s academic record and may affect transfer and/or gainful employment opportunities.

9803.10 Willful Disobedience: Willful disobedience to direc-tions of college officials acting in the performance of their duties.

STUDENT RIGHT-TO-KNOW DISCLOSUREStudent Right-to-Know Rates for Fall 2009 Cohort

Completion Rate: 18.06 % Transfer Rate: 10.45 %

In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is the policy of our college district to make available its completion and transfer rates to all current and prospective students. Beginning in Fall 2010, a cohort of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time, full-time students were tracked over a three-year period. Their completion and transfer rates are listed above. These rates do not represent the success rates of the entire stu-dent population at the College nor do they account for student outcomes occurring after this three-year tracking period.

Based upon the cohort defined above, a Completer is a student who attained a certificate or degree or became 'transfer prepared' during a three year period, from Fall 2010 to Spring 2013. Students who have completed 60 transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better are considered 'transfer-prepared'. Students who transferred to another post-secondary institution, prior to attain-ing a degree, certificate, or becoming 'transfer-prepared' during a five semester period, from Spring 2011 to Spring 2013, are transfer students.

Further, the Vocational Technical Education Act of 1998 (VTEA), man-dates advisory committees for career education programs to establish business and industry partnerships with college faculty and administration. The advisory committee serves a vital role in keeping career education programs relevant, dynamic, and on the cutting-edge of technology. This can only be achieved with a close working relationship between the college and the business community.

Advisory committees meet at least once each academic year, but may meet as often as necessary. Committee members evaluate career education and training programs, including curriculum, equipment, facilities and staffing plans, provide counsel and advice, review past accomplishments, and forecast trends affect-ing career education, vocational training, and employment.

Advisory committee members are an important component of the education program of the college. The professionals who serve on advisory committees are nominated because of their leadership in technology, the job market, and the economic development of Los Angeles. Bringing expert advice and sound planning on business, trade, and technical issues, advisory com-mittees ensure course and program content reflect the needs of the rapidly changing job market gram content reflect the needs of the rapidly changing job market.

FINANCIAL AID

What is Financial Aid?

The purpose of the financial aid program is to provide financial assistance to students who, without such aid, would be unable to attend college. Although it is expected that students and par-ents will make a maximum effort to meet the cost of education, financial aid is available to fill the gap between family resources and the annual educational expenses. Financial aid is meant to supplement the family’s existing income/financial resources and should not be depended upon as the sole means of income to support other non-educational expenses.

Financial aid is available from various sources such as federal, state, institutional, community organizations and individual donors. Financial aid can be awarded in the form of grants, loans, work-study, scholarships, or a combination of these.

Who is eligible for Financial Aid?

To be considered for financial aid, students must meet the fol-lowing minimum requirements:

n Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen. An eligible non-citizen is a U.S. permanent resident who has docu-mentation from the Department of Homeland Security verifying that his/her stay in the U.S. is for other than a temporary purpose.

If your application has been selected for verification by the fed-eral processor, you will be required to provide additional docu-mentation with a specific deadline. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the denial of financial aid. For verification deadline dates and further instructions on how to complete your financial aid file, visit the Financial Aid Office website.

For the Federal Direct Loan Program, verification must be completed 20 working days prior to the last day of enrollment period to allow for loan processing time.

Students whose applications are selected for verification may be paid on any corrected valid SAR/ISIR that is received within 120 days after the student’s last day of enrollment.

If an applicant does not complete verification by the established deadline, all federal financial aid is forfeited for the award year.

Summer Financial Aid

(Special requirements apply - please contact the Financial Aid Office for more information)

Enrollment at Other LACCD Colleges

Consortium Agreements are in effect for all colleges within the Los Angeles Community College District. If you are attending more than one college within the District in the same academic period, payment will be based on all units taken. You must maintain at least a one (1) approved unit level of enrollment at the Home/Primary campus (the college processing your financial aid) for the entire award period. For financial aid programs that are limited in funding, a six (6) approved unit minimum enroll-ment is required at the Home campus. Please note that if you are in an extension appeal due to Satisfactory Academic Progress, you must be enrolled in approved units, meaning classes listed in your Student Educational Plan (SEP) you submitted with your appeal to the Financial Aid Office. If you are enrolled in classes not listed in your SEP, the units will not be included in the cal-culation of approved units. An SEP is a plan written between a student and academic counselor. For further information, please contact the Financial Aid Office and/or the Counseling Office.

ITV Classes

Students taking ITV courses must be enrolled in at least one (1) approved unit at the Home campus (the college that is process-ing their financial aid) in order to receive financial aid, provided eligibility exists. For financial aid programs that are limited in funding, students must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) approved units at the Home campus; units from other colleges may not be combined for all other programs. Students enrolled in ITV courses receive their transcripts for those courses from Los Angeles Mission College. Students enrolled only in ITV courses and wish to be considered for financial aid, must apply at Los Angeles Mission College as the Home campus for finan-cial aid purposes. ITV classes are included in disbursements for all other classes.

Tax Credit

American Opportunity Credit – replaces and expands the Hope Credit for tax years 2009 and 2010. More parents and students will qualify over the next two years for a tax credit. The new tax credit is available to a broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax. The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, $160,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return. Those who do not make enough money to have to file a tax return should also consider filing because they can get up to $1,000 back. The new credit also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maxi-mum annual credit of $2,500 per student, which is $500 more than the Hope Credit.

Lifetime Learning Credit – Families may be able to claim up to $2,000 for tuition and required fees each year. The maximum credit is determined on a per-taxpayer (family) basis, regardless of the number of postsecondary students in a family. Students who fees are covered by a fee waiver, scholarship, or grant would not be able to add their costs to their families for tax credit calculation.

You should consult a tax professional for further details or consult the following website: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE – GRANTS, SCHOLARSHIPS & LOANS

Federal Refund Requirements

Notice: Students who receive financial aid, and withdraw from ALL classes, may be obligated for repayment on some of the federal funds received prior to withdrawal.

All students receiving federal aid, who withdraw from the institution in the first 60% of the term, are subject to Return Regulations. The Financial Aid Office will calculate the amount of federal funds earned by the student up to the point of with-drawal and students will be billed and must repay any federal grant funds received but not earned. Failure to repay these funds will result in the denial of future federal financial aid at all colleges. Nonpayment of the unearned amount will be reported to the U.S. Department of Education for collection. The college is also required to report grant overpayments to the National Student Loan Data System.



It is advised that you contact the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from all of your classes so you understand the results of your actions. For the refund policy on enrollment fees and non-resident tuition, please see the College Schedule of Classes or the College Catalog.

Federal Grants

Federal Pell Grant Program

The Federal Pell Grant Program is a federally funded program that provides assistance to undergraduate students who have not yet earned a baccalaureate or first professional degree and who demonstrate financial need. Awards are based on the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and enrollment status. The EFC is calculated based on the information such as income and assets on the FAFSA.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The FSEOG is a federal grant program designed to supplement other sources of financial aid for students with exceptional need. FSEOG awards are based on financial need and fund availability. There is a six (6) approved unit minimum enrollment require-ment at the college where students are receiving financial aid. Since this is a limited funded program, priority will be awarded to students who are enrolled at least six (6) approved units at Pierce College. FSEOG awards range upward from $100 to $400 per year, depending on need and packaging policy.

State Grants

To qualify for any of the state-funded grants, a student must be a California resident and be attending (or planning to attend) an eligible college in California.

Entitlement Grants

n Cal Grant A – provides grant funds to help pay for tuition/fees at qualifying institutions offering baccalaure-ate degree programs. If you receive a Cal Grant A but choose to attend a CA Community College first, your award will be held in reserve for up to three years until you transfer to a four-year college.

n Cal Grant B – provides subsistence payments for new recipients in the amount of $1,551 for a full-time, full year award. Payments are reduced accordingly for three-quarter and half-time enrollment for each payment period. Cal Grant B recipients who transfer to a tuition/fee charging school after completing one or two years at a community college may have their grant increased to include tuition and fees as well as subsistence.

n Cal Grant Transfer Entitlement Award is for eligible CA Community College students who are transferring to a four-year college and are under age 28 as of December 31 of the award year.

Competitive Grants

n Cal Grant A and B awards are used for the same purpose as the A and B entitlement awards, except that they are not guaranteed and the number of awards is limited.

n Cal Grant C recipients are selected based on financial need and vocational aptitude. Students must be enrolled in a vocational program at a California Community College, independent college, or vocational college, in a course of study lasting from four months to two years.

For more information, go to www.csac.ca.gov or call (888) 224-7268 Option #3.

Federal Student Loans (money you have to pay back)

CAUTION ABOUT STUDENT LOANS. It takes approximate-ly 4-6 weeks for a loan application to be processed, once a stu-dent submits all necessary documents and information. Student loan funds are delivered to the student after enrollment and sat-isfactory academic progress requirements have been verified. All loans require a minimum of six (6) approved units. Check with the Financial Aid Office or visit the website at www.lavc.edu for deadlines for student loan requests.

Federal Perkins Loan Program

The Federal Perkins Loan is an educational loan with a low (5%) fixed interest rate for students who have exceptional financial need. Loan amounts awarded within the Los Angeles Community College District are determined by individual col-leges and the availability of funds. Since this is a limited funded program, priority will be awarded to students who are enrolled at least six (6) approved units at Los Angeles Valley College. Repayment begins nine (9) months after the borrower graduates, withdraws, or ceases to be enrolled at least half-time. A repay-ment period can be extended to 10 years. During the repayment period, five percent (5%) interest is charged on the unpaid bal-ance of the loan principal.

Federal Direct Loan- The Federal Direct Loan Program is a loan program made to students who show financial need while attending college at least half-time. For 2011-2012, the inter-est rate is 3.4% for subsidized loans and 6.8% for unsubsidized loans. Loans are made by the federal government. “Subsidized” means the government pays the interest while you are in college, in deferment status, or during your grace period. “Unsubsidized” means the government does not pay the inter-est while you are in college, in deferment status, or during your grace period. In addition to completing a FAFSA, an applicant must submit a separate Loan Request Form and complete a Loan Entrance Counseling to apply for a loan.



Part-Time Employment

Federal Work-Study (FWS) - The FWS program enables stu-dents to earn part of their financial aid award through part-time employment either on or off campus. To be eligible, a student must meet the eligibility requirements for federal financial aid and must maintain a good academic standing while employed under the program. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of six (6) approved units at the home campus to be considered for this program; units from other campuses cannot be combined. Since this is a limited funded program, priority will be awarded to students who are enrolled at least six (6) approved units at Los Angeles Valley College.

Scholarships

Throughout the year, the Financial Aid Office and the Foundation Office at Los Angeles Valley College posts announcements for scholarship opportunities. The criteria for scholarships differ so students should complete applications carefully. Please contact the Financial Aid Office (818.947.2412) and the Foundation Office (818.947.2618) for current scholar-ship opportunities.

How Financial Aid is “Packaged”

Once the student’s financial aid eligibility is established, a “pack-age” of aid is provided which may be a combination of grants, work-study, and loan funds. Financial Aid Offer “letters” will be emailed to the student provided a student’s email is on his/her FAFSA. Students will be referred to read the Award Guide on the Financial Aid website which explains the responsibilities of the student and provides information on each award.

Disbursement of Awards

Students who submit their required financial aid documents by the May 1st priority deadline may expect to receive their first financial aid disbursement during the first week of the Fall semester, provided that all established deadlines have been met.

All financial aid students will be issued a debit card, called myLACCDcard. The myLACCDcard is the key for unlocking student’s disbursement preference. Students can choose to acti-vate the card to receive financial aid disbursements or direct dis-bursements to an account of their choice. It is critical that stu-dents update their address on file with Admissions and Records Office to ensure receipt of their debit card. If students do not activate their debit card or direct financial aid disbursements

to an account of their choice, financial aid disbursements will be delayed. Disbursements will be adjusted if enrollment is less than full-time. Supplemental disbursements occur throughout the academic year. If the student’s enrollment status increased, and if student is due an additional disbursement, the amount of disbursement will be disbursed to the student’s account of their choice.

Any outstanding institutional debt will be deducted from the financial aid disbursement.

Disbursements will be adjusted if enrollment increases or decreases. Payment for late-starting classes will not be issued until the class begins. After the second disbursement run date of the each semester, no further award adjustments can be made. Full-time is considered 12 or more units per semester; three-quarter time is considered 9-11.5 units per semester; half-time is considered 6-8.5 units per semester; less than half-time is 1-5.5 units per semester.

n Federal PELL Grant is scheduled for payment twice a semester.

n FSEOG and Cal Grants are scheduled once per semester and require an enrollment of six (6) or more approved units.

n Federal-Work Study (FWS) is paid through payroll every two weeks.

n Federal Student Loans are disbursed in two equal pay-ments, once per semester, for students attending two semesters in the academic year. Federal Student Loans require an enrollment of six (6) approved units. For students requesting a loan for one semester only, the loan will be disbursed in two equal payments within the one semester.

Determining Financial Need

Most financial aid awards are based on demonstrated financial need which is the difference between the Cost of Attendance (COA) and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). COA minus EFC = Financial Need



COST OF ATTENDANCEIn order to treat all students equally, standardized budgets (Cost of Attendance) are established and applied to all applicants. This means all students with similar circumstances will receive the same allowance for tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, personal expenses and transportation. Other expenses may include, but are not limited to, child care expens-es, vocational/technical expenses, and handicapped expenses. Exceptions may be made to the budget in the cases where need can be shown and documented. The actual Cost of Attendance will be determined and provided to you in your Award Offer Letter. The Department of Education publishes the yearly Average Cost of Attendance.

Expected Family Contribution

Students and/or their parent(s) are expected to contribute some-thing to the cost of higher education. Parental and/or student contribution (EFC) are determined from the information reported on the FAFSA and take into account the resources available such as income, assets, liabilities, size of family, num-ber in college, taxes paid, etc.

Child Care Expenses

This is an adjustment to the Cost of Attendance provided to students with unusual and reasonable expenses for dependent/child care up to a maximum of $1,000. If you are paying for Child Care expenses during the academic year, you must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing to request for an adjustment to your Cost of Attendance.

Technical /Vocational Expenses

Institutions may make adjustments for students in trade vocational programs that require supplies and equipment above and beyond the normal budgeted allowance for books and supplies. Some of these programs include: Registered Nursing, Physical Therapy, Animal Health Technology, Auto Mechanics, Photography and others where documentation is submitted to support the additional cost.

Handicapped Expenses

As documented and in excess of amounts provided by other agencies.

n An explanation of how financial need is determined. This process includes establishing budgets for the costs of tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation, personal and miscellaneous expenses, child care, etc., plus the student’s income and assets, parental contribution, other financial aid (such as scholarships) and so on. Financial need is determined by the Central Processor from the information provided on the FAFSA.

n Knowledge of what resources are considered in the cal-culation of student need.

n Knowledge of how a financial aid package is deter-mined.

n An explanation of various programs awarded in the student’s financial aid package. If a student feels he/she has been treated unfairly, a reconsideration of the award may be requested.

n An explanation regarding requests for repayment of funds. This situation occurs when students withdraw prior to the end of the semester. Students must receive a clear explanation of the program funds that do not need to be repaid as well as the portion of the grant aid that the student is required to repay. If the student received a loan, the student is informed about what the interest rate is, the total amount to be repaid, when the repayment is to begin, and the conditions of deferment and cancellation during loan counseling sessions.

n Knowledge of how the Los Angeles Community College District determines whether students are mak-ing “satisfactory academic progress” and what happens if they are not.

n Knowledge of what facilities are available for handi-capped students.

Students must take responsibility for:

n Reviewing and considering all information regarding the Los Angeles Community College District’s academ-ic programs prior to enrollment.

n Having a valid Social Security Number (SSN) on file in the Admissions and Records Office for the purposes of receiving financial aid, reporting a Cal Grant Grade Point Average, loan deferments, etc.

n Enrolling in an eligible program, which is defined as a Certificate, an Associate Degree (AA/AS), or a two-year academic Transfer Program that is acceptable for full credit toward a Baccalaureate Degree. Students must declare an eligible educational goal and major, and update changes with the Admissions and Records Office. Students who do not have a valid educational goal will be notified at the time of review of financial

aid application and if students do not provide a valid educational goal with Admissions and Records will not be processed their financial aid.

n Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to receive financial aid and meeting with an academic counselor to develop or review an Educational Plan (The SAP Policy is also in the college catalog.)

n Promptly returning all additional documentation, veri-fication, corrections, and/or new information requested by either the Financial Aid Office or the agency or agencies to which an application was submitted.

n Completing all required financial aid forms ACCURATELY AND COMPLETELY. If this is not done, aid could be delayed. Errors must be corrected before any financial aid can be received. Intentional misreporting of information and intentionally com-mitting fraud on application forms for financial aid is a violation of the law and is considered a criminal offense subject to penalties under the U.S. Criminal Code, and the denial of the student’s application. Additionally, regulations require that all cases of suspected fraud ema-nating from misrepresentation, be reported to the Office of Inspector General.

n Reading and understanding all financial aid forms and information. We advise students to retain copies of all documents submitted.

n Choosing a home school to process financial aid. Students MAY NOT receive financial aid from more than one institution at the same time or periods of overlapping terms.

n Notifying the appropriate entity (college, lender, California Student Aid Commission, U.S. Department of Education, etc.) of changes in your name, address, school enrollment status, or transfer to another college.

n Repaying financial aid funds if it is determined that the student was ineligible to receive funds for any reason (i.e. Return to Title IV, overpayments, over-awards).

n Performing the work that is agreed upon in accepting a work-study award.

n Knowing and complying with the deadlines for applica-tion or reapplication for financial aid.

n Knowing and complying with the Los Angeles Community College District Title IV Refund Policy.

n The formal appeal must be submitted within 30 calendar days from the date of the disqualification letter or before the end of the semester, whichever is earlier.

n The Appeal Request Form should be completed in ink or typed and consist of a written statement. The appeal must include:

• Why the student failed to meet the SAP standards, and

• What has changed that will allow the student to make SAP at the next evaluation period.

Reinstatement may also be granted for reasons listed below:

n The death of a relative of the student;

Fraudn A student who attempts to obtain financial aid by fraudu-

lent means will be suspended from financial aid for unsatisfactory conduct.

n The college will report such instances to local law enforcement agencies, to the California Student Aid Commission, to the Federal Government and the Office of Inspector General.

n Restitution of any financial aid received in such manner will be required.

OTHER INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW

Change of Enrollment/Recalculation/Overpayment

If your enrollment status changes during the semester please inform the Financial Aid Office. Your financial aid award may be modified to reflect the correct number of units in which you were enrolled at the time of the second disbursement check run. The adjustment of enrollment may cause an overpayment of financial aid funds. Repayment of financial aid funds is necessary if the adjustment of enrollment causes an overpay-ment. You must resolve your overpayment prior to receiving any additional financial aid. Having an overpayment of federal


funds will prevent you from receiving federal financial aid from any institution.

Return to Title IV

The student’s eligibility for financial aid is based upon enroll-ment. The Higher Education Amendment of 1998 governs the Return of Title IV funds policy for a student who completely withdraws from a period of enrollment (i.e. semester). These rules assume that a student “earns” aid based on his/her semes-ter enrollment. “Unearned” aid, other than Federal Work-Study, must be earned. Unearned aid is the amount of federal financial aid received that exceeds the amount the student has earned. Unearned aid may be subject to repayment.

During the first 60% of the semester enrollment a student “earns” aid in direct proportion to the time of his/her enroll-ment. The percentage of time the student remained enrolled is the percentage of aid for that period which the student earned. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point of the semester earns all his/her aid for the period.

If you owe a repayment, students will be notified in writing by the Financial Aid Office. The student will have 45 calendar days from the date of notification to repay; otherwise, a hold will be placed on the academic and financial aid records which will prevent the student from receiving college services and will jeopardize future financial aid.

State Tax Offset

Students should be aware that state income tax refunds might be offset by the institution for repayment of financial aid funds if it is determined the students were ineligible to receive funds, have defaulted on a student loan, or owe other debts to the school.

Special Circumstances

In certain cases, a family’s financial situation can change because of:

n Death in the family

n Separation or divorce

n Loss of employment

n Loss of non-taxable income or benefits

In such cases, the student should contact the Financial Aid Office.

EDUCATION TAX CREDIT INFORMATION – THE TAXPAYER RELIEF ACT (TRA) OF 1997The Taxpayer Relief Act (TRA) of 1997 established the American Opportunity (Hope) Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit to provide tax relief for higher education expenses. The law requires colleges to file 1098-T form with the IRS for all stu-dents who pay any type of tuition and enrollment fees during the calendar year.

Every year on January 31, the Los Angeles Community College District will mail a 1098-T form to all students who paid enroll-ment fees. The 1098-T form is provided to you and the IRS to verify the fact that you were registered and enrolled for this aca-demic time period. This form also lists the amount of fees paid, minus any Pell grants, fee waivers, or scholarships.

Since colleges cannot determine if you meet the eligibility crite-ria for these tax credits or legally respond to any tax questions, it is recommended that you contact your local IRS office or tax advisor. Additional information on these tax credits is also avail-able at the IRS website, www.irs.gov.
