REEDLEY COLLEGE 9 Matriculation Exemptions Certain students may be exempt from several components of matriculation including assessment, orientation, and counseling/advising. A student may be exempt from participation in assessment if the student meets the following criteria: • The student has submitted evidence (e.g., official grade report or tran- script) which provides verification of satisfactory completion of the college level prerequisite course; or • the student chooses not to participate. A student may be exempt from participation in orientation and/or counseling/ advising if the student meets two or more of the following criteria: • The student chooses not to participate; • the student has completed 12 or more transferable units; • the student has completed an associate degree or higher; • the student has certain educational goals: a. to maintain a certificate or license; b. personal development (intellectual, cultural); or c. to complete credits for a high school diploma or G.E.D. • For a Matriculation Exemption form, contact the Counseling Office or Testing Center. English/Math Placement Test After submitting an application for admission, new students should schedule an appointment or testing date to take the English/Math placement test offered by Reedley College. The tests are designed to assist students in selecting college courses that match their current abilities. The placement tests are coordinated by the Testing Services. Test dates are offered at the main campus in Reedley, as well as at the Madera Community College Center. A Reedley College placement test schedule, with times, dates, and locations, is available online at www.reed- leycollege.edu , then click on eSARS. Prerequisites Prerequisite courses must be completed with a “C” (2.0) grade or better prior to enrolling in the next level course. See course listing to determine whether a par- ticular course has any prerequisites. A student may challenge a prerequisite under certain conditions (see ”Prerequisites challenge procedures” on this page). Contact the Admissions and Records Office for the prerequisite challenge form and details on the conditions that apply. • Students currently enrolled in courses that satisfy a prerequisite will be allowed to register in the next level course. However if a “C” grade or better is not achieved, students will be dropped from the higher level class. • If you have met prerequisites through the assessment process or by comple- tion of the required course, you may proceed to use the online (WebAdvisor) registration system. • If you believe that you have met the prerequisite through some other means (e.g. completion of the prerequisite course at another college), you must see a counselor BEFORE registration to obtain a prerequisite clearance. You must have your college and/or high school transcripts on file or in hand prior to seeing your counselor for prerequisite clearance. Once the prerequisite has been cleared, you may use the online (WebAdvisor) registration system to register for the course(s). Advising Advising is available to all students. Results from placement tests may be used as part of the multi-criteria process to assist counselors in determining appropriate course placement. First-time, full-time, or degree-seeking students will be advised prior to registration. A student educational plan (SEP) will be partially developed at this time. The SEP will be reviewed and fully developed during the first semester of attendance. It is the student’s responsibility to contact their counselor and schedule an appointment to complete their SEP. Online advising is also available via the Reedley College website at www.reedleycollege.edu . Prerequisite Challenge Procedures A prerequisite challenge requires written documentation, explanation of alterna- tive course work, background or abilities which adequately prepare the student for the course. A Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Form may be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office, and should be returned to the Admissions and Records Office. Reasons for filing a prerequisite/corequisite challenge may include one or more of the following: 1. A prerequisite/corequisite is not available. 2. The prerequisite/corequisite was met at another institution. 3. The student has the documented knowledge or ability to succeed in the course without meeting the prerequisite. 4. The student believes the prerequisite/corequisite is discriminatory or being applied in a discriminatory manner 5. The prerequisite is not necessary for success in the course. Prerequisite challenge requests must be received prior to the first day of the term to which they apply. Upon completing the prerequisite challenge form, the student may enroll in the challenge class by presenting this form at registration. If the challenge is not upheld, the student will be dropped from the class. Registration Holds All holds must be cleared prior to registration.
