Students mustregister for <strong>the</strong> stated corequisite in order to register for <strong>the</strong> course.WHAT IS AN ADVISORY ON RECOMMENDED PREPARATION?An advisory is a recommended course or skill level students are advised, but not required, topossess prior to enrollment in a specific course.ARE THERE OTHER LIMITATIONS ON ENROLLMENT?Yes. Enrollment in certain courses or educational programs of study may require try-outs,auditions, or may be limited by health and safety considerations, and space limitations orlegal requirements imposed by statutes, regulations or contracts. All such limitations are inconformity with <strong>the</strong> provisions of Title 5, Section 58106, California <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong>Board of Governors.WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE THE NECESSARY PREREQUISITESOR COREQUISITES?Students will not be permitted to enroll in a class for which <strong>the</strong>y cannot demonstrate <strong>the</strong>yhave met <strong>the</strong> prerequisite, or are enrolled in <strong>the</strong> corequisite. If it is determined after a coursebegins that a student has not met <strong>the</strong> prerequisite, he/she will be dropped from <strong>the</strong> course.
LTCC CATALOG <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong> 33PREREQUISITE APPEAL PROCEDUREA student may appeal a prerequisite or corequisite by filing aPrerequisite or Corequisite Appeal Petition. This form can beobtained from Student Services.1. Students must meet with a counselor to submit a petition.2. The appeal petition will be processed within five working daysof its receipt, and <strong>the</strong> student notified accordingly.3. If <strong>the</strong> appeal is upheld, <strong>the</strong> student will remain in <strong>the</strong> course.4. In <strong>the</strong> event <strong>the</strong> petition is denied <strong>the</strong> student will be disenrolled;however, <strong>the</strong> student may appeal <strong>the</strong> decision withinfive days in writing directly to <strong>the</strong> Vice President, AcademicAffairs and Student Services. A rationale for <strong>the</strong> appeal must beincluded, along with any new documentation. Students will benotified of <strong>the</strong> appeal decision within three working days.GROUNDS FOR APPEAL• The student has <strong>the</strong> knowledge or ability to succeed in <strong>the</strong>course or program despite not meeting <strong>the</strong> prerequisite orcorequisite.• The student possesses <strong>the</strong> skills/knowledge necessary to protect<strong>the</strong> health or safety of him/herself and o<strong>the</strong>rs despite notmeeting <strong>the</strong> stated health and safety prerequisite.• The prerequisite or corequisite course is ei<strong>the</strong>r unlawfullydiscriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatorymanner. (Student has <strong>the</strong> right to file a formal complaint ofunlawful discrimination; if <strong>the</strong> student elects to proceed with<strong>the</strong> prerequisite appeal, completion of <strong>the</strong> appeal procedureshall be deemed to constitute an informal complaint pursuantto Title 5: section 59327.)• The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining <strong>the</strong> goalof his or her educational plan because <strong>the</strong> prerequisite orcorequisite has not been made reasonably available.• The prerequisite or corequisite has not been established inaccordance with <strong>the</strong> District’s process for establishingprerequisites or corequisites.• The prerequisite or corequisite is in violation of Title 5.CREDIT FOR PREREQUISITESGranting a student request to appeal a prerequisite on <strong>the</strong> basis ofequivalent knowledge does not give <strong>the</strong> student academic credit forthat course. For example, a student may be allowed to enroll inSpanish 102 by demonstrating knowledge equivalent to Spanish101, but no credit for Spanish 101 will be granted. If <strong>the</strong> studentneeds credit for Spanish 101 to meet degree or transfer requirementsfor example, it might be more appropriate for <strong>the</strong> student to pursue<strong>the</strong> college’s credit by examination process. If successful, Spanish 101would appear on <strong>the</strong> student’s transcript with <strong>the</strong> appropriate unitsand <strong>the</strong> student would also meet <strong>the</strong> prerequisite for Spanish 102.POLICIES & PROCEDURES<strong>College</strong> Policies &ProceduresATTENDANCE POLICYRegular attendance in class and laboratory sessions is an obligationassumed by every student at <strong>the</strong> time of registration. By being absentfrom class, <strong>the</strong> student misses both <strong>the</strong> content of <strong>the</strong> particularsession and continuity of <strong>the</strong> course as developed in a single period ofwork. Students who stop attending and are not dropped by <strong>the</strong>instructor risk receiving an “F” grade for <strong>the</strong> course.IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO DROP ACLASS(ES). The following District-Wide Attendance Policy hasbeen adopted:1. Students should always attend <strong>the</strong> first class meeting unless <strong>the</strong>yhave made special arrangements with <strong>the</strong> instructor. Manyclasses are impacted. The instructor may drop a student if <strong>the</strong>ymiss <strong>the</strong> first meeting so that ano<strong>the</strong>r student can be admitted.After <strong>the</strong> first meeting, a student may be dropped from classwhenever total absences are two more than <strong>the</strong> number of timesa class meets per week; however, it is ultimately <strong>the</strong> student’sresponsibility to drop <strong>the</strong> class, and <strong>the</strong> assumption should notbe made that this was done automatically by <strong>the</strong> instructor.2. In <strong>the</strong> case of excessive absences where special circumstancesexist, and where no previous arrangements have been made, apetition for continuance may be filed by <strong>the</strong> student with <strong>the</strong>instructor and a counselor. A student may remain in <strong>the</strong> classuntil <strong>the</strong> petition is acted upon.MATRICULATIONMatriculation is a process which brings a college and a student whoenrolls for credit into an agreement for <strong>the</strong> purpose of realizing <strong>the</strong>student’s educational objective. The agreement acknowledgesresponsibilities of both parties to attain those objectives through <strong>the</strong>college’s established programs, policies, and requirements.On <strong>the</strong> college’s part, <strong>the</strong> agreement includes providing an admissionprocess; an orientation to college programs, services and procedures;pre-enrollment assessment and a suitable curriculum or program ofcourses; follow-up on student progress with referral to supportservices when needed; and a program of institutional research andevaluation.On <strong>the</strong> student’s part, <strong>the</strong> agreement includes expression of at least abroad educational intent at entrance and willingness to declare aspecific educational objective within a reasonable period of enrollment.This would require diligence in class attendance, completion ofassigned course work, completion of courses and maintenance ofprogress toward an educational goal according to standards establishedby <strong>the</strong> college and <strong>the</strong> State of California. Failure on <strong>the</strong> student’s partto fulfill such responsibilities may result in suspension or terminationof matriculation services.Students wishing to challenge matriculation requirements, or file acomplaint regarding <strong>the</strong> application of matriculation regulations, maydo so in writing to <strong>the</strong> Dean of Student Services. The rationale andany relevant documentation to justify an exception to <strong>the</strong> requirementsmust be included with <strong>the</strong> student's request.

Students must earn a minimum of 90 units, to include generaleducation, a major or concentration, and electives.GENERAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHYThe general education requirements for <strong>the</strong> A.A. degree at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Tahoe</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> are intended to provide a broad yet integrated introduction to <strong>the</strong> skills,knowledge, and insights that are <strong>the</strong> foundation of a college education. By exposing students to different areas of study we, as a <strong>College</strong>, seek through our general educationofferings to foster a critical awareness of <strong>the</strong> variety of means through which people comprehend <strong>the</strong> past, present, and future. These requirements reflect <strong>the</strong> conviction of<strong>the</strong> <strong>College</strong> that those who receive <strong>the</strong>ir degree must possess certain basic principles, concepts, and methodologies both unique to and shared by <strong>the</strong> various disciplines. Thegeneral education experience enables students to use this knowledge when evaluating and appreciating <strong>the</strong> physical environment, <strong>the</strong> arts, <strong>the</strong> culture, and <strong>the</strong> pluralisticsociety in which <strong>the</strong>y live. Through this broad spectrum of study, students discover <strong>the</strong> interdisciplinary nature of knowledge. Fur<strong>the</strong>r, since learning is a lifelong process,general education should lead to better self-understanding and <strong>the</strong> capacity to adapt, respond, and grow in a changing world. Finally, general education instills in students<strong>the</strong> skills of logical thought and reasoning, clear and precise expression, intellectual inquiry, and critical analysis.AREA 1: English Communicationa.
