Items in red indicate updates to our schedule - next to section # indicates canceled Modified Date: Fri, February 10, 2012, 3:10 PM 64 Golden West College • Spring 2012 • www.goldenwestcollege.edu Admissions/Registration Admissions/Registration Basic Skills Assessment Test Assessment in English, mathematics, reading, and student skills is recommended for all students; however, these assessment tests are required of new students who are seeking a degree, certificate, or have a transfer goal. (see exemption criteria.) Assessment may be required to meet prerequisities for specific courses. The results of these tests are then used to assist the student in making appropriate course selections. A schedule of the testing sessions is available online at www.goldenwestcollege.edu/assessment/ or in the Admissions Office. To make an appointment for testing you can visit the Assessment Center in Business 109 or call 714-895-8388. Students may waive the English/Reading placement test by presenting official evidence to the Records Clerk in the Admissions office with any one of the following: • A score of 3, 4, or 5 on the Advanced Placement Examination in English Composition, or • A passing score on the California State Equivalency Examination, or • Completion of a college course equivalent to Golden West College’s English G100 or higher with a “C” grade or better. Students may waive the Mathematics placement test by presenting official evidence to the Records Clerk in the Admissions office of the completion of a college course equivalent to Golden West College’s Mathematics G030, Intermediate Algebra, or higher with a grade of “C” or better. Students may not have to take the Assessment test at GWC if they have test scores from another California Community College (test scores must be within the last 2 years). If a student has valid test scores, they can take them to the Assessment center for review. All students have the right to challenge or appeal any step in the matriculation process. Forms are available in the Admissions Office for this purpose. Students who refuse matriculation services will not receive priority registration. If you have any questions regarding any of the steps in the admissions process, please contact the Matriculation Clerk at (714) 895-8207. STEP 3-ORIENTATION Upon completion of the assessment process, new students are expected to complete an online orientation session (see exemptions). The Orientation is designed to acquaint the student with the many programs and support services available at the college and to assist the student in selecting his/her first semester courses. Additional information regarding the Online Orientation is available in the Counseling Office. Important Note: Students must complete their orientation session at least 24 hours before their registration appointment date and time. Student Educational Plan (SEP) - Once classes have begun, students may be notified to make an appointment with a counselor to develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The SEP is a formalized document which assists the student in identifying the courses and services needed to meet their educational goals and objectives. It should be completed and on file before the end of the semester. Ability to Profit by Instruction In order to remain enrolled at Golden West College, a student must be able to profit from instruction. Students who have English language deficiencies are urged to enroll in basic English classes. Failure to do so may lead to their being dropped from their other courses. Contact a counselor for assistance. If an instructor determines that a student’s deficiency in English may result in physical harm to him/her or to others in the class i.e., shop course, physical science lab, etc., the student may be required to withdraw from the course. STEP 4-REGISTRATION Registration is by appointment online via your MyGWC portal page. Appointments are assigned based on a priority policy established by the District. New and returning students receive their appointments in the order their application was submitted. You can check your registration appointment date and time online via your MyGWC STUDENT portal page under Registration Status. REMEMBER you can only register on or after your registration appointment date and time. Things to Know Before You Register Make sure you have completed your placement testing, proof of pre-requisites, and/or attended an orientation. BE PREPARED. Select plenty of alternative classes before you register. Check for: (a) Prerequisites. (b)Concurrent enrollment or co-requisites that require you to enroll in more than one class or section. (e.g., lecture/lab combinations) (c) Check the class schedule via your MyGWC portal page for available classes. Have a back-up plan in case the class you want is closed. Clear Holds: Outstanding holds can be viewed via MyGWC (Registration Status). You must clear all holds which block registration before you will be able to register. If a hold exists on your records, a contact number will be displayed so that you may call for specific information regarding the hold.

Fees are due IMMEDIATELY and must be received by the fee payment deadlines printed in this schedule. Golden West College does not bill for unpaid registrations. If payments are not received in accordance with the drop schedule, students WILL BE DROPPED from classes to make seats available for other students seeking to register. Waitlisted classes WILL be dropped as well if the balance is not paid in full for classes in which a student is officially enrolled and fees charged. Important: Students who are still enrolled in classes when the term begins, and have not paid fees, WILL NOT be dropped for non-payment. Students will incur a financial obligation to the college AND a hold will be placed on their record if payment is not received or they do not drop prior to the refund deadline. It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from classes by the refund deadline to ensure cancellation of fees. Unpaid balances could be forwarded to a Collection agency which may incur an additional cost. Late Registration - Once the term has started Students who register for classes after the term begins WILL NOT be dropped for non-payment. Students will incur a financial obligation to the college AND a hold will be placed on their record if payment is not received. This hold will block future registration (adds, drops), obtaining transcripts, grades, diplomas, or verification of enrollment until all fees are paid. Unpaid balances could be forwarded to a Collection agency which may incur an additional cost. Financial Aid Students BOG Fee Waivers pay enrollment fees ONLY. If your BOG Fee Waiver (BOGW) has been applied to your registration account, you must pay the required health fee, College Service Charge and materials fees or you will be dropped from your classes if enrolled prior to the start of the semester. You may verify that your BOGW has been posted to your registration account by logging in to your MyGWC and checking your account balance. NOTE: If your BOGW has not been posted to your account, please pay the total balance due to avoid being dropped. IMPORTANT: Students are responsible for any fees incurred and grades received. It is the student’s responsibility to drop classes by the State mandated refund deadline to avoid fee obligations and MUST print a student class program (available via MyGWC) to verify their withdrawal. (Once classes begin, non-attendance or non-payment does not release the student from hi/her responsibility and may result in failing grades being awarded) Non-Payment Drop Schedule: Students, who have not paid their account balance in full, may be dropped for non-payment of fees as follows: December 08, 2011 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between November 21 and December 1 December 12, 2011 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between December 2 and December 5 December 15, 2011 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between December 6 and December 8 January 03, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between December 9 and December 26 January 05, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between December 27 and December 29 January 9, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between December 30 and January 2 January 12, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between January 3 and January 5 January 16, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between January 6 and January 9 January 19, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between January 10 and January 12 January 23, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between January 13 and January 16 January 26, 2012 (1:00 p.m): For Registration between January 17 and January 19 January 27, 2012 (3:00 p.m): Is the final Drop for non-payment for spring 2012 registration.
