It also prevents them fromtaking courses that are not required for the degree orcertificate they seek if they are anxious to completetheir degree in the most efficient way possible.Because these plans take a little concentrated time todevelop, it is best to get them done mid-semester:October/November and February/March are the besttimes to plan to do this.STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIESREGISTRATION & FEESREPORT CHANGE OF ADDRESS TO THE COLLEGEA student who changes his/her place of residence (orchanges any other address that may be used by thecollege to conduct official business) should report thechange promptly to the Student Assistance Center(Eureka Campus) or the Enrollment Services Office(other instructional sites).

Students thinking about making a programchange should be sure to consult with the staff in theCounseling and Advising Center to understand howthe change may affect the achievement of their new ortheir original educational goal.ATTEND COURSES ON A REGULAR BASISSince regular attendance is a critical factor in studentsuccess, students at the College are expected to attendall sessions of each class in which they are enrolled.In general, absences may be considered excessive whenthe number of absences exceeds the total number ofhours that the class meets during one week. All facultyare encouraged to include information about theirattendance requirements in their course outlines;students should make certain they understand theattendance standards that are to be met in each class.Students who know that they will be absent from classfor more than one week should notify the instructor(or appropriate Division office) in advance.14DROP UNWANTED CLASSES TO AVOIDUNNECESSARY FAILING GRADESDuring the first few weeks of each semester, instructorsare required to drop students from their classes fornon-attendance. After the the end of the second weekof classes each semester, however, it is the student’sresponsibility to drop any/all classes that s/he does notplan to continue to attend/complete.

This is inaddition to any other stated prerequisite for a course, inaccordance with Title 5 of the Education Code. Check witha counselor or advisor if you have a question about themath and/or English requirements for a specific course.PREREQUISITES, COREQUISITES AND RECOMMENDED PREPARATIONPREREQUISITEIt is the intent of College of the Redwoods to guidestudents into classes in which they will have thegreatest opportunity for academic success. Therefore,it is in the student’s best interest to complete theprerequisite for a class in which he/she intends toenroll. Successfully completing the prerequisite [with agrade of “C” or better] greatly increases theprobability of success.A prerequisite is a course a student must take orpreparation that a student must have before enrollingin another course. A prerequisite provides a studentwith a specific set of skills or knowledge without whichs/he is unlikely to succeed in the next course. Studentswill not be permitted to enroll in courses andprograms without meeting the appropriateprerequisites for them.Example: completing Math 106 with a "C" grade or higher isa prerequisite for Math 120.34Early registration may pose problems for studentscurrently enrolled in math and English courses. If studentsanticipate passing with a “C” or better, they shouldregister for the next level course. Students anticipatingearning a D or an F in the prerequisite course should get aform from their instructor recommending that they beallowed to repeat the course.Students may enroll in any course for which they meetthe necessary prerequisites. Failure to verifycompletion of the required prerequisite will cause thestudent to be dropped from the course and the relatedfees will be refunded. Verification of a statedprerequisite may be obtained in a variety of ways:completing the prerequisite at CR, completing anequivalent prerequisite at another college and/orobtaining appropriate placement results. If a student isnot sure whether s/he has met a prerequisite, acounselor or advisor should be consulted beforeregistration. This is even more important if s/hecompleted the prerequisite at another institution.

ACADEMIC STANDARDSCOLLEGE OF THE REDWOODSCOREQUISITEA corequisite is a course that students are required totake at the same time as another course. A corequisiteprovides a set of skills or a body of knowledge thatmust be acquired through concurrent enrollment inboth courses. Without these skills the student is highlyunlikely to succeed. If a course requires a “corequisite,”the student must enroll in both courses at the sametime.Example: English 150 is a corequisite for English 150L.RECOMMENDED PREPARATIONWhen there is a course or preparation that a student isadvised (but not required) to have before or in conjunctionwith enrollment in a course, it is considered to be a classwith “recommended preparation.” Strongly recommendedpreparation represents a set of skills or a body of knowledgewith which will help a student achieve a greaterunderstanding of course material, but without which thestudent still may succeed in the course or program.NOTE: Students enrolling in an English and/or mathcourse through telephone registration must havecompleted the prerequisites for these courses or theymay be dropped from them. English and math instructorswill request verification from you on the first day of class.REASONS FOR A PREREQUISITE CHALLENGETo challenge a prerequisite requires written documentationand an explanation of the student's background or abilitiesthat adequately prepare the student for the course.Challenge forms are available only through theCounseling and Advising Center. Prerequisites may bechallenged for one or more of the following reasons:1. The college has not developed the prerequisiteaccording to its established procedures or has notdeveloped the prerequisite in accord with existingstatutes.2. The prerequisite is discriminatory or is being applied ina discriminatory fashion.3. The college has not made the prerequisite coursereasonably available.4. The student has documented knowledge and abilitiesequivalent to those specified in theprerequisite course.HOW TO INITIATE A PREREQUISITE CHALLENGE1. Meet with a counselor or advisor to discuss reasons forthe challenge.2. Provide written documentation which clearly explainsyour reasons for challenging the prerequisite.3. If challenging criteria #1, 2, or 3 (above) completeform, attach documentation, and file with the VicePresident, Academic Affairs or the Campus VicePresident at the Mendocino or Del Norte campuses.4. If challenging under criteria #4 (above) complete theform with attached documentation, and file withappropriate Division Dean or the Campus VicePresident at the Mendocino or Del Norte campuses.2003-2004 CATALOG5. The Division Dean, Campus Vice President, or VicePresident will notify you within 10 working dayswhether your challenge is approved or denied.6. If approved, you will be allowed to remain in theenrolled course; if denied, you will be dropped fromthe class.EVALUATION OF CREDITCR accepts most lower division course work that studentshave completed at another accredited college. Any creditgranted by College of the Redwoods is subject to reevaluationby other colleges.Religious studies courses that are doctrinal in nature areaccepted from accredited institutions.All credits will be evaluated in keeping with the guidelinesestablished by “Catalog Rights” (see page 34).CR does not grant credit for military service.ADVANCED PLACEMENT CREDITCollege of the Redwoods encourages prospective studentsto prepare themselves for college by taking high schoolcourses which are rigorous and challenging.Opportunities to take such courses are available throughthe Advanced Placement (AP) program of the CollegeEntrance Examination Board. Students who havesuccessfully completed courses in the Advanced Placementprogram with examination scores 3, 4, or 5 may earn upto 6 semester units of credit for each AP course. AdvancedPlacement credits may be used to satisfy specific AA/ASdegree General Education requirements or may beapplied as elective units toward the degree. However,when a student transfers to any other college oruniversity, that institution routinely reevaluates advancedplacement units in accordance with its own internalpolicies. Therefore, advanced placement units remainintact and do not transfer as College of the Redwoodscourses. Further, advanced placement units may not beused to satisfy residency requirements.Specific course credit is granted to students with qualifyingAdvanced Placement examination scores when it has beendetermined that Advanced Placement course work isequivalent to specific College of the Redwoods coursework. When no CR equivalent of Advanced Placementcourse work exists, students will be granted six semesterunits in the subject area to apply as elective credit towardthe degree.To apply for Advanced Placement credit, students must beenrolled in, or have completed, at least 12 units at Collegeof the Redwoods. Advanced Placement Program scoresmust be sent to the Enrollment Services Office forevaluation.College of the Redwoods awards credit for AdvancedPlacement examination scores of 3, 4, or 5 (unlessotherwise specified), as noted in the table on page 36:35

Three hours of laboratorywork each week approximate one unit. The actual unitvalue of each course is listed in the course descriptionand in class schedules.STUDENT LOADAll units in which a student enrolls are used todetermine a student’s load. A full-time student enrollsin 12 or more units in a regular semester. Part-timestudents enroll in less than 12 units in a semester, or 6units for summer session. Students who want to enrollin more than 18 units need the approval of a counseloror advisor.COURSE EXAMINATIONSPermission to be absent from or to take any exam atany time other than that originally designated may,under exceptional circumstances, be granted at thediscretion of the individual instructor.Photo: Mark Larson

Regulationsfor Credit/No Credit are:1. “Credit” is granted if a student satisfactorilycompletes the minimum course requirements (i.e.,earns a C grade or better).2. “No Credit” is granted when a student does notsatisfactorily complete the basic courserequirements. There is no grade point averagepenalty attached to a “no credit” grade, however,NCs are considered as non-progress (see Probationand Dismissal Policies which follow). No units arereceived/awarded for NC grades.3. Unit credit is awarded for a Credit grade.4. Units on a Credit basis shall be counted towardcollege requirements, up to a maximum of 14 units.5. Units on a Credit basis shall be disregarded indetermining a grade point average for all purposes forwhich a grade point average is required.6. The Credit/No Credit option applies only to courses soidentified in this catalog's course descriptions or inthe Schedule of Classes.7. Students must file their request for Credit/NoCredit grading in the Student Assistance Center.The deadlines to file these requests are listed ineach term’s class schedule.INCOMPLETE GRADES2003-2004 CATALOGUnder extenuating circumstances, instructors maygrant students a grade of Incomplete (“I”) in a course.To qualify for an “I” grade, students must meet thefollowing conditions:• Most of the academic course work must havealready been completed and there must bejustifiable, extenuating circumstances whichprevent the student from completing the course inthe current term.• The “I” must be made up no later than one semesterfollowing the end of the term in which it was assigned(not including summer session).In addition, students should understand that:• When the “I” grade is issued, the instructor designatesan alternate grade for each student. If the “I” grade isnot made up within the proscribed amount of time, thealternate grade will be issued to the student. Thealternate grade then becomes the student’s final gradein the course and will be recorded on the student’spermanent academic record.• Students should not re-enroll in a course in whichan “I” was given. Students work independentlywith instructors to complete the remaining courserequirements, including assignments, projects, andexams.GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)A “grade point average” is computed each term bydividing the total grade points earned by the total unitsattempted.For example, a student who earns a grade of A insix units, B in three units, C in three units, D in threeunits, and F in two and one-half units would have agrade-point average of 2.40. The computation is shownbelow:6 units A . . . . . . x 4 equals . . . . . . 24 grade points3 units B. . . . . . . x 3 equals . . . . . . . 9 grade points3 units C. . . . . . . x 2 equals . . . . . . . 6 grade points3 units D . . . . . . x 1 equals . . . . . . . 3 grade points2½ units F . . . . . x 0 equals . . . . . . . 0 grade points17½ units . . . . . . total equals. . . . 42 grade pointsThe 42 grade points divided by 17½ units equals a 2.40grade point average.“cumulative grade point average” refers to the combinedgrade point average earned for all terms in which astudent has been enrolled in college-level work.37

First year students earn a certificate of achievement for1,728 classroom and shop hours compiled over a fall and spring semester. A smallnumber of students receive a certificate of achievement for an additional 1,728 hourscompleted during a second year of study.CAREER OPTIONS: The courses in the Fine Woodworking program are designed for the aspiringcabinetmaker who is striving to combine personal expression and fine craftsmanship. The FineWoodworking school is recognized by the woodworking community around the world as aneducational achievement, and graduates of the program pursue careers as fine furniture makersand cabinetmakers, either in the employ of others or as self-employed craftsmen and craftswomen.REQUIRED SEQUENCE OF COURSES:1ST YEAR STUDENTSFIRST SEMESTERCT 130A - 18 UNITS(FINE WOODWORKINGTHEORY AND PRACTICE)SECOND SEMESTERCT 130B - 18 UNITS(FINE WOODWORKINGTHEORY AND PRACTICE)TOTAL OF 36 UNITS2ND YEAR STUDENTSFIRST SEMESTERCT 133A - 16 UNITS(FINE WOODWORKINGSPECIAL STUDIES)SECOND SEMESTERCT 133B - 16 UNITS(FINE WOODWORKINGSPECIAL STUDIES)TOTAL OF 32 UNITSPROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Fine Woodworking Program is a two-semester program of study(August to the following May) in which students consider wood and worker’s relationship to it.Students learn about the richness of wood, its variety and working properties, and the ways inwhich these qualities can relate to the cabinetmaker’s task.Students will examine refinements in the making and use of hand tools, with the aim ofdeveloping sensitivity to surfaces, joinery, and their personal touches which make each piece aunique and singular expression of the individual. The aim of the program is to dispel some ofthe misconceptions caused by generalities with regard to fine wood and tools. Though machinetools are not neglected, the emphasis is on the hand, the eye, and the workbench.CHRONOLOGY OF INSTRUCTION: In the first weeks of the program, students perform a variety ofexercises and set pieces in the classic techniques of cabinetry and joinery: dovetailing, mortiseand-tenon,doweling, frame and panel construction, coopering, drawer construction and fitting,and the aesthetic and practical design of cabinet and furniture construction. During this period,students also study the making of a cabinetmaker’s hand-tools. All students complete a smallfirst project, such as a small chest or cabinet, incorporating the techniques just learned.In the next phase of the program, students begin to study the more advanced techniques:making and using sawn veneers, joinery at other than right angles; and techniques of joiningpieces of fine furniture.FACILITIES: The Woodworking Building in Fort Bragg was specifically designed to house this program.It is carefully laid out and meets the needs of the program quite well. There are separateworkbench, machine, and wood rooms. In the workbench room, each student has a Europeanstyle cabinetmaker’s bench and wall-hung cabinet in which to store hand tools and supplies. Inthe machine room, students have access to a variety of good, well-maintained, simple machines.In the woodroom, the school maintains a reasonable quantity of common cabinet-gradehardwoods. Students are also encouraged to obtain woods from other sources.185
