2010-2011 CATALOG COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS about the college Mission Statement The Redwoods Community College District has a commitment both to our students and to our community. We are committed to maximizing the success of each student with the expectation that each student will meet her or his educational goal, achieve appropriate learning outcomes in his/her courses and programs, and develop an appreciation for life-long learning. In partnership with other local agencies, we are also committed to enriching the economic vitality of the community whom we serve. The following are the three equally important, primary missions of the Redwoods Community College District: 1. Associate Degree and Certificate Programs. The District will offer rigorous, high-quality educational programs leading to the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science Degree, Certificates of Achievement, or Certificates of Recognition. 2. Academic and Transfer Education. The District will offer a high-quality core curriculum that will satisfy the lower-division general education and/or major preparation requirements for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. 3. Professional and Technical Education. The District will provide high-quality professional and technical programs that will allow students to obtain skills necessary to enter or advance in the workforce or to be better prepared for further education. These programs will be continuously articulated with the private and public sectors and with other institutions of higher education. In support of these primary missions, the District will provide the appropriate level of information, programs, and activities to assist students in: 1. Gaining initial access and orientation to the College; 2. Assessing their interests and educational goals and developing plans that will help them achieve these goals; 3. Using current technological resources, innovative instructional resources, personalized tutorial services, and broad-based research tools; and 4. Choosing coursework preparatory to college-level work, if necessary—specifically, pre-collegiate math and English courses and courses in English as a second language (ESL). To the extent possible, under state guidelines or with local funding, the District will provide the following life-long learning opportunities, as well as opportunities for enhancing and promoting the general welfare of the community: 1. Non-Credit Adult Education. The District will provide state-funded, adult education classes in response to local interests and needs and in cooperation with other local providers. 2. Community Services. The District will provide selfsupporting avocational, recreational, and professional development classes, as well as cultural and community programs. 3. Economic Development. The District will participate with local business and industry and other educational and government agencies to foster the economic vitality of the North Coast region. Board Policy BP 1200 Academic Freedom The Board of Trustees and the Academic Senate of the College of the Redwoods District, in an effort to promote and protect the academic freedom of faculty and students, endorse the following policy adapted from the 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure (including the 1958 and 1970 interpretative comments of the American Association of University Professors). A. Faculty members are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing issues germane to their academic discipline. Academic freedom inherently involves the right to introduce within the assigned teaching discipline controversial topics, concepts, issues, and systems as long as the method or manner of presentation involves objective reasoning and rational discussion. B. Faculty members are citizens, members of a profession, and employees of an education institution. When faculty members speak or write as citizens, thereby exercising their constitutional right of free speech, it should be as persons who are free from institutional censorship or discipline. In the process of making such utterances, faculty members have a responsibility to make a clear distinction between personal viewpoints and the college’s official policies. C. Faculty members are entitled to full freedom in research and in the publication of the results, subject to the adequate performance of other academic duties; but research for pecuniary return should be based upon an understanding with the administration of the college. D. The protection of academic freedom and the requirements of academic responsibility apply to full-time probationary, tenured, and part-time faculty.

COLLEGE OF THE REDWOODS 2010-2011 CATALOG Becoming a CR Student As an Open-Access Community College, the Redwoods Community College District Welcomes Students from a Variety of Different Backgrounds and Experiences High School Graduates Anyone who has a high school diploma or the equivalent is eligible to enroll at College of the Redwoods. Non-High School Graduates Any person who is at least 18 years of age who does not have a high school diploma but is able to benefit from college-level instruction may also enroll, although in order to receive financial aid these students will have to meet some additional requirements. Younger Students Students enrolled in the 9th through 12th grades may be approved to take up to eleven units of college courses for college credit at College of the Redwoods. All students must obtain and complete the “Concurrent Enrollment of High School Student” form for each semester for which they intend to register in addition to the “Application for Admissions”. Degree-Seeking & Transfer Students Students who have attended another accredited college may transfer to College of the Redwoods with advanced standing, depending on the outcome of an incoming official transcript evaluation. Students must contact the Counseling Office for an appointment with a counselor for an evaluation. All transcripts submitted become the permanent property of College of the Redwoods and copies of these transcripts cannot be forwarded elsewhere or released to the students. These transfer transcripts can be used by authorized College of the Redwoods personnel only. Students wishing to apply prior college credit to their CR degree are required to submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions previously attended. If you have never attended college before, you should take the English and math assessment tests before you will be able to register for classes. Assessment results help to determine which courses are appropriate for your skill level. You must have your student ID number prior to taking tests. For more information Del Norte 465-2330 Eureka 476-4106 Mendocino 962-2639 International Students Every effort will be made to provide international students with general information about the college and the local area before and upon their arrival at the college. Information about initial enrollment and special regulations that may pertain to international students may be obtained by contacting the Admissions and Records Office. Determining Residency California Residency Each California college is charged with determining which students qualify to pay in-state fees. Generally speaking, to qualify as a resident of the State of California, students must have lived in California for more than one year prior to the first day of the term in which they wish to enroll. In addition, they must demonstrate that they have intended to make California their permanent residence for more than one year, and will be asked to provide the college with the information required to make such a determination. Military personnel, public school employees, state employees and certain other persons may be exempt from residence requirements or may qualify to pay in-state fees by virtue of being the subject of special legislation. To avoid disappointment or confusion at the last minute, it is important that students have their residency status determined well in advance of the start of the term in which they wish to enroll. Out-of-State Residents Prospective students whose legal residence is outside the state of California will be required to pay non-resident tuition in addition to the California enrollment fees. AB 540 Waiver: If you are not a California resident, but attended a California high school for three years or more and graduated from a California high school (or received a GED or the equivalent), you may qualify for a waiver of non-resident tuition. Please see page 13 for further information. Oregon Exchange Program College of the Redwoods has made reciprocal agreements with three Oregon colleges to allow eligible CR students to attend Oregon colleges and eligible Oregon residents to attend College of the Redwoods at reduced rates. Participating colleges are: Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT), Southern Oregon University (SOU), and Rogue Community College (Grants Pass). Oregon residents who wish to enroll in any course at College of the Redwoods under this program must sign an agreement indicating that, if a California resident student is displaced from a class, the exchange student will voluntarily drop the course. admission College of the Redwoods - Making A Difference 9
