2011 General CataloG & announCement of Courses - Ventura College

To satisfy the scholarship requirement for eligibility, a minimum
of 46 of the 60 semester units must have letter grades; in other
words, a maximum of 14 of the 60 semester units can be credit/
no credit or pass/no pass (see 3.a above).
Students who are fully certified for IGETC (the Intersegmental
General Education Transfer Curriculum) prior to transferring to UC
will satisfy Option 3.b above.
All potential transfers are expected to peruse the UC publications
“Answers for Transfers” and “Introducing the University” that are
published annually for the forthcoming academic year. These are
available in the Ventura College Counseling Office and the Transfer
Center.
The Counseling Office and Transfer Center have lists of courses
transferable to the University of California. This information is
also contained in the individual course descriptions listed in
the announcement of courses section of this Catalog and in the
Schedule of Classes. Admissions information is also available on
the UC website at uctransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu
These admission requirements are subject to change.
CSU and UC
SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSION CRITERIA: Most campuses require
that English and math be completed no later than the spring term
prior to fall transfer. Some campuses require that the 60 units
minimum, the subject area requirements, and major preparation
courses be completed no later than the prior spring. Also, some
campuses do not permit pass/no pass or credit/no credit grading
to meet major preparation requirements. When the number of
applicants for some campuses, some schools and colleges, and
some majors exceeds the number of spaces available, campuses
use standards which are more demanding than the minimum
admissions requirements to select students. These selection criteria
identify those students who have demonstrated the capacity for
high academic achievement and promise and who have a variety
of other qualities that can contribute to the strength and diversity
of the campus community.
Academic criteria are used to evaluate students when selection
criteria are applied. These include: completion of a specified pattern
or number of courses that meet general education or breadth
patterns; completion of a specified pattern or number of courses
that provide continuity with upper division courses in the major
(essential for admission to the major of choice in many cases);
and, GPA in major courses and in all transferable courses. The
selection criteria are subject to change by campus, school or
college, major and/or term.
Typically, applicants are also expected to complete both the
necessary lower division mathematics and English composition
requirements early in their college careers.
