Course Description Information
2016-2017 Catalog
Course Repetition:
Identified courses may be taken up to
four times. These courses provide different experiences or
levels of difficulty with each repetition. Although Clovis
Community College may permit a student to repeat a
course up to three times, be advised that a student who is
transferring to a baccalaureate degree granting institution
may not receive transfer credit for all units completed.
Class Periods:
College classes may not meet every day in the
week. The number of lecture or laboratory periods for each
week is indicated in the course description. The schedule of
classes (issued as a separate publication) will indicate which
hours of the day and which days in the week the class is
scheduled. Courses marked “offered infrequently” are not
usually scheduled each semester.
Course Certification:
Lists of courses certified by Clovis
Community College as being baccalaureate level are on file
at receiving institutions. Copies are also available through the
Counseling Office and major advisors. General Education
designations and baccalaureate level courses are also indicated
in the course description. These courses change constantly.
Check with a counselor for the most updated listing of
courses.
Field Trips:
Certain classes have field trips scheduled which
contribute substantially to the understanding of the course.
Some of these trips are scheduled for evenings or Saturdays.
Field trips scheduled during hours of the official school day
may be considered as part of instruction. Students pay their
own expenses on field trips if possible.
Prerequisites/Corequisites/
Advisories
Students are urged to study the description of courses in
this catalog to ensure that prerequisites are satisfied before
registering for a course. Correct registration at an early date
is important.
It is the student’s responsibility to be certain that he/she has
met the necessary prerequisite(s) for any course taken. The
student may be dropped from any class where it is verified
that the necessary prerequisite has not been met. It should be
understood by the student that whether or not a prerequisite
is specifically stated, the instructional staff of this college
assumes that each student who enrolls in a transfer-level course
possesses sufficient competencies in the areas of reading,
writing, and mathematics to be able to profit from instruction.
Advisory indicates that the institution recommends, but does
not require, certain course work be taken prior to enrolling
in the described course.
Corequisite indicates that the course must be taken
simultaneously with another course if not already
completed.
Prerequisite is defined to mean a condition of enrollment
that a student must meet in order to register in a course or
program. A student may challenge a prerequisite by completing
the Prerequisite/Corequisite Challenge Form available in the
Counseling Center. A “C” or better grade is required in the
prerequisite course(s).
