TULARE COUNTY COLLEGE NIGHTwww.tcoe.org/collegenightCALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGESPHILOSOPHYThe administration and faculty of the California Community College system recognize their re sponsibility to providea fruitful educational experience for the residents of the Community Col lege District in which the student resides.Because each individual has an intrinsic value and dignity as a human being, it is essential that the CommunityCollege nurture the intellectual, occupational and cultural growth of all students, enabling them to develop theirpotential in an atmosphere which stimulates a free exchange of ideas, intellectual inquiry, and effective instruction.Further, it is essential that the colleges recognize their responsibility to meet the recreational, occupational, andgeneral educational needs of both transfer and non-transfer students. It is the goal of this philosophy to produce aneducated citizen who is both prepared and stimulated to function effectively and responsibly in all essential aspectsof personal and community growth. Given this charge, the California Community Colleges have basically developedinto three main areas of responsibility:1. Transfer responsibility for providing students with adequate academic preparation to transfer to the Universityof California and the California State University and College systems and private four-year colleges anduniversities.2. Responsibility for occupational and technical training.3. The third function is that of remediation. This requires looking at any existing basic skill deficits in studentsover 18 years of age who need to upgrade their current level of educational preparedness.TRANSFERThe Community Colleges strive to provide students with the necessary skills during the first two years of theireducational endeavor. Each of the Community Colleges has articulation agreements with the University of Californiaand the California State University and College systems and with many private institutions. This includes beingcertified for 39 units of General Education. There are also a variety of courses that are transferable to meet the corerequirements for majors. Students may transfer all units designated as transfer, but the University and State Universityand College systems limit the lower division units accepted toward Bachelor’s degree to 70 units.The Community Colleges have articulation agreements with the University of California in core courses that are necessaryfor each discipline. Each student must be considered individually after they identify the University of Californiacollege they wish to attend. They must then work closely with the counselor to be certain that the courses theytake will be acceptable to the University at which they apply. Again, the student can attain the first two years at theCommunity College.by Don L. Goodyear, President, Retired – College of the Sequoias34
