California Community Colleges (Page 1)	
WHAT ARE COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
You will soon graduate.  What will you do next?  What if you 
are not ready to work 40 hours a week?  There are 116 
wonderful places for high school graduates to spend quality 
time before launching careers.  These 116 places, located in 
California, are called community colleges.  You will find help 
and guidance at community colleges.  For example, a 
counselor will offer tests to find out which job fits your 
personality and abilities.  Teachers will teach skills you need 
for a job that will pay high wages.  Career Center staff will let you know of employers who want to hire 
community college students and graduates — as well as on-campus part-time jobs available for students.  
WHAT TYPES OF JOB TRAINING DO COMMUNITY COLLEGES OFFER?
Community colleges offer many types of job training.  From A to Z, examples of job-training majors 
include Accounting, Aircraft & Powerplant Mechanics, Advertising, Animal Health Technician, Banking, 
Brick Masonry, Cabinet Making, Child Development, Computer Aided Drafting, Graphic Design, 
Computer Coding, Electronic Technology, Floral Design, Forestry, Home Health Aide, Horticulture, 
Insurance, Journalism, Marketing, Medical Assisting, Nursing, Paramedic, Paralegal, Pharmacy Assisting, 
Radiologic Technology, Recreation, Search & Rescue, Sign Language, Small Engine Repair, Teacher Aide, 
Tool Design, and Watch Repair.  You can find out which California community college offers the major you 
want by going to the website: www.cccco.edu.  At the top, click on "Students" and "Find a College" in the 
drop down menu.  Then search by "Program" or "Address or City or Zip."
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CERTIFICATE OR DEGREE PROGRAMS?
In certificate programs, you take only the classes that are important to the major.  For example, to earn a 
Fire Technology Certificate at a community college, you may take only the following classes that are all 
related to the major: Introduction to Fire Technology, Fire Protection Equipment & Systems, Basic Fire 
Academy, Hazardous Materials, Fire Behavior & Control, and Arson and Fire Investigation.  Some 
certificate majors take six months to one year to complete (for example, welding and office clerk); others 
may take three years to complete (for example, registered nurse or dent
al hygienist).
Degree programs prepare you to transfer to a four-year college.  Two types of degrees are given by the 
community colleges — Associate in Arts (AA) degrees and Associate in Science (AS) degrees.  For the 
degree, you must complete the major — just as in the certificate program — plus the following:  1) Prove 
skills in English and math by passing a test or taking approved classes in English and math; 2) Pass one or 
two physical education or health classes; 3) Pass six or seven general education classes.  General education 
classes include subjects such as science and humanities (fine arts, history, philosophy, anthropology, 
economics, geography, political science, psychology, sociology).  This is a general list since requirements 
vary for each community college.  For exact list of degree requirements, visit the college website.

ARE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ON THE QUARTER OR SEMESTER SYSTEM?
Only three community colleges are on the quarter system: De Anza College, Foothill College, and Lake 
Tahoe.  All other community colleges are on semester system.  The quarter system has four 10 week 
quarters per school year: fall quarter, winter quarter, spring quarter, and summer quarter.  Semester system 
divides school year into two 15 week semesters (fall and winter semesters) with a summer school session.
ARE THERE DORMS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
Most community colleges have a Housing Office which helps students find housing or roommates in 
nearby apartments or houses.  Housing Offices also have bulletin boards listing 
housing opportunities.  These community colleges provide on-campus dorms:
Columbia College     Reedley College
Cerro Coso Community College Shasta College
Feather River College    Sierra College
Lassen College     Siskiyous, College of the
Redwoods, College of the   Taft College 
           West Hills College Coalinga
WHO ATTENDS COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
There is no average community college student — all types of people attend.  Most students are under age 
24 — the traditional college-age group.  However, students in job-training programs and part-time students 
may be older.  In fact, about 21% of community college students are ages 35 and older.  Older students 
enroll in community colleges to update their job skills and to learn new skills for  job promotions or job 
changes.  Community colleges offer many online classes by internet.  
WHAT IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND A COMMUNITY COLLEGE?
Any high school graduate is eligible for admission to a community college.  However , you do not need a 
high school diploma to be admitted as long as you are eighteen years of age or older, or have passed either 
the California High School Proficiency Exam, or the General Education Development (GED) Exam.  If you 
do not have the GED, you may enroll in a community college if you are 18 years old or older , but you may 
be required to earn the GED in the college's GED classes, before you can enroll in regular college classes.
MAY I ATTEND IF I AM NOT A 
RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA?
California residents have enrollment priority.  
Community college system defines 	resident 	
as a person who can prove his or her physical 
presence in California for at least one year 
prior to the start of the semester or quarter, and who has presented evidence that the person intends to make 
California a permanent home.  Resident status for a person under 18 years of age (called a minor) is that of 
the parent or guardian who is responsible for the minor's care and with whom the minor lives.  To qualify a 
minor for residency, the parent or guardian must have lived in California one year prior to the start of 
classes.

California Community Colleges (Page 3)	
A 	nonresident	 is a person who does not meet the California residency requirements —
 	1) person who is a 	
citizen of a foreign country with only temporary status in the United States; 	2) person who did not attend 	
a California high school for 3 years or more..  The fee for nonresidents is about $310 per unit.  Therefore, 
nonresidents who take 15 units at California Community College would pay $4,650.  Nonresidents need to 
talk to a community college counselor to discuss possible waiver of fees under California's AB540 law.	
WHAT IS THE COST OF ATTENDING FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS?
For California residents, the enrollment fee is about $46 per unit.  Therefore, California residents 	
who take 15 units would pay $690.  In addition, the community colleges may char ge fees for other things 
such as health services, parking permits, student body cards, class materials, and lab materials.  Students 
are expected to buy their own textbooks, supplies, uniforms (if needed)
 and materials for classes taken.  
The cost of books and supplies may cost $100 or more for each class.  	NEWS FLASH:	 The "Promise 	
Program" is new in 2019, and may be offered by a community college near you.  The Promise Program 
gives FREE community college tuition to students who qualify.  To find out about the Promise Program, 
visit the Counseling Office at the community college you wish to attend.
IS  FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE?
Yes, many community college students receive financial aid. Types of financial aid include federal grants 
and reduced-interest loans, work study (or on-campus employment), off-campus employment, and 
scholarships for students who qualify.  Every community college has a Financial Aid Office where the staff 
will answer your questions and arrange financial help.  Visit the Financial Aid Office for help with costs.
CAN I WORK WHILE ATTENDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE?
Yes — and almost 80% of community college students do just that.  For those who work 
during the day, there are plenty of evening classes.  Visit the Career Center for 
information on part-time on-campus jobs.  Also, ask your counselor about on and off 
campus work-study programs available.  Students can even get college credit for their 
paid work experience by enrolling in a Cooperative Work Experience Education class.
WHAT IS MEANT BY THE TERM "UNIT"?
A unit of credit is defined as the number of lecture hours per week a class meets.  For 
example, a one-unit lecture class meets one hour per week; and a four-unit lecture class 
meets four hours per week.  In some physical education, art, drama, and 
music courses, 
a unit of credit is earned for each two hours of class time per week.  I
n laboratory 
courses, a unit of credit is earned for each three hours of lab time per
 week.  
For each unit taken, expect at least two hours of outside homework per w
eek.  
HOW MANY UNITS SHOULD I TAKE AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE?
If you want to finish college as fast as possible, you need to take a full load of 15 units per term.  If you 
have a job or family responsibilities, you may decide to take fewer units — or only one class per term.  
College Units Homework Time Required  Time for Work and Other Things 
12-15 units 24-36 hours per week homework  8-19 hours per week work 
8-11 units 16-24 hours per week homework  20-29 hours per week work
4-7 units 8-16 hours per week homework  30-40 hours per week work

California Community Colleges (Page 4)	
WHAT TYPE OF GRADING SYSTEM DOES A COMMUNITY COLLEGE USE?
Grades are in relation to objectives (ideas or skills to be learned) of a course.  At beginning of a course, the 
instructor explains these objectives and how grades will be given.  Grade definitions are as follows:
A  Excellent (4 grade points per unit earned)  
B  Good (3 grade points per unit earned)
C Satisfactory (2 grade points per unit earned)
D Passing, less than satisfactory (1 grade point per unit earned)
F Failing (0 grade points per unit earned)
In addition, the following codes may be used on the report card:
I Incomplete.  The student did not complete the class due to 
 illness, emergency, or other reason allowed by the college.
IP  In Progress.  The class extends beyond the normal grading period or an
  important assignment must be turned in before a final grade can be given.
W  Withdrawal.  Student dropped the class.
HOW DO I FIGURE OUT MY GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)?
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total number
of units into the number of grade points.  Let’s do an example:
  "A" grade (4 points) times 3 unit class = 12 grade points
 "B" grade (3 points) times 4 unit class = 12 grade points
 "C" grade (2 points) times 3 unit class = 6 grade points
 "F" grade (0 points) times 2 unit class =  0 grade points
Divide the total units (12 units) into total grade points (30 grade points) to get a 2.5 GP A.
IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE CATALOG, WHAT DOES "PREREQUISITE" MEAN?
A prerequisite is a class which must be completed before enrollment in another class.  For example, 
Drafting 101 is a prerequisite for Drafting 102 and must be completed before enrolling in Drafting 102.  If 
Electronics has prerequisite of Algebra I, and student has not complete Algebra I, the student must take an 
Algebra I class in college before enrolling in Electronics.
WHAT DOES THE WORD "COREQUISITE" MEAN?
A corequisite is a class that must be taken during the same term as 
another class.  For example, Drafting 102 may require that a student 
enroll in Drafting Lab 102A during the same term. 
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND CLASS DESCRIPTIONS IN THE 
COLLEGE CATALOG!

WHAT SERVICES ARE OFFERED BY COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
Services offered by community colleges include academic and personal (such as drug abuse) counseling, 
career planning, study and tutoring centers, job placement office, child care, counseling for older students 
(such as stay-at-home moms) who need to find a job, veteran advisement, Education Opportunity Programs 
(EOP) for first generation college students and low-income and students, library services, and study-abroad 
(attend college in foreign countries).  Community college offers many other services for the students.
ARE THERE WAYS THAT I CAN BECOME INVOLVED IN MY COLLEGE?
Yes.  Community colleges offer a variety of opportunities.  Students may participate in student 
government, athletic teams, intramural sports, clubs, choirs, theatre productions, or join a newspaper 
staff.  Students may request membership in groups such as Alpha Gamma Sigma (academic achievement) 
or Alpha Mu Gamma (foreign language society).  Vocational 
programs offer clubs related to the majors such as flying clubs, 
race car clubs, and search and rescue clubs.  To discover what is 
available, talk to a counselor or teacher in your major.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT A COLLEGE?
Visit the college during a school day to see if you would feel at 
home on that campus.  Visit the library, cafeteria, bookstore, and 
building that houses the major you want.  Visit the Career Center 
to find out what jobs are available to students or graduates.  Visit 
the Counseling Center to ask a counselor questions that you may 
have about the college or help with deciding on a major.

California Community Colleges (Page 6)	
CAN I TAKE A COMMUNITY COLLEGE CLASS WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL?
High school students may take classes at a community college (or online classes) for the following reasons:  
a) to take advanced classes not offered at their high school; b) to make up credit for classes that they failed 
or were unable to take; c) for personal enrichment or enjoyment.
It is an excellent idea to get a head start on your college major by taking community college class during 
your senior year.  This is a good idea for two reasons.  First, you will become familiar wi
th the college 
atmosphere, college professors, and class requirements.  Second, by enro
lling in a college class, you will 
get a better registration priority number for the next term.  This means that as a continuing student, you will 
be enrolled into any open classes before new students. Before taking a community college class, you may 
need to get high school permission form from your counselor.  The permission form needs to be signed by 
the counselor, your parent, and then taken to the community college Admission Office.	
HOW DO I ENROLL IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE?
In the past, many students enrolled and then dropped out before first college term 
was complete.  The community college counselors, teachers, and advisors were 
confused.  Why did these students drop out after only one or two months of classes?
  
After studying the situation, they came to the conclusion that students dropped out 
because new students: 1) did not understand the college system; 2) were taking the 
wrong classes, and 3) were frightened by large size of the college campus.  
To correct the dropout problem, community colleges started to require 3 things 
before students are allowed to enroll:  Assessment, Orientation, and Counseling — 	
or AOC.  AOC helps students understand the college system, get enrolled into the correct level classes, and 
have confidence they can find whatever they need such as the library, bookstore, cafeteria, or tutoring. 
STEP #1:  ASSESSMENT
You will be unhappy to learn that testing does not stop when you graduate from high school.  The first step 
in community college AOC process is more testing!  Before the tests, you need to go to Admission Office, 
ask for a college application, fill it out, and then turn it back to the office clerk.   The office clerk will take 
your application and give you a testing date.  It is your duty to take all 3 tests: reading, writing, and math 
— by showing up in person or by taking the tests online. 
The 	reading	 test will ask you to read passages, and then answer multiple choice que
stions.  The 	writing	 	
test covers grammar usage, choice of words, and is usually multiple choice.  There are two 	math	 tests:  first 	
is basic arithmetic (whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percents) and second covers basic algebra.  
Based on your test scores — you are enrolled in the English and math classes you are allowed to take. 	 	
For example, if you earned a low score on English reading and writing te
sts, you will be placed into a 
college English class (such as English 450).  This English class is acceptable for community college credit 
but cannot be transferred to a 4 year college.  Or, if you get a high score on the English reading and writing 
tests, you will be placed into a college level English class (such as English 1A) that may be transferred to 
a 4 year college.  Students who pass community college English (English 450) class with a "C" or higher 
grade may then enroll into the higher level English class such as English 1A.

California Community Colleges (Page 7)	
STEP #2:  ORIENTATION
During orientation, a group of students may meet with a counselor who will explain the community 
college system.  Or, you may be able to complete the orientation program online.  College l
ife will be 
explained as well as tips on planning your schedule.  You will be given information on majors, general 
education requirements, Certificate earning requirements, Associate of Arts and Associate of Science 
diploma requirements, and requirements for transferring to a 4 year coll
ege.  
STEP #3:  COUNSELING
A counselor will help you develop your Student Education Plan (SEP).  If you 
are unsure of a major, you will be enrolled into a career counseling class to help 
you decide.  Counselors know that you will not think of all the question
s that 
need answers during the session.  Counselors expect you to return to ask
 the new 
questions.  The sign of a good student is asking questions and getting answers.  
HOW DO I EARN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE DEGREE?
There are seven steps you must complete to earn an Associate of Arts (AA) or 
Associate of Science (AS) degree.  In the past, you may have earned a boy scout or 
girl scout badge by completing the tasks that were required.  In addition, you may have 
selected which tasks you wanted to do to earn the badge.  Same is true o
f community 
college degree.  When you complete the seven tasks — some of which you are allowed to 
choose — you will earn your degree!  Students must complete at least 60 semester units to earn their 
Associate degree from a community college.  Since each class is about 3 units, about 20 classes are 
required for this degree.  In order to graduate, an overall grade point average (GPA) of not less than 2.0, or 
"C" average, must be maintained.  There are two types of Associate’s degrees:
 	A. Associate Degree with Employment Major. 	
 Students who earn this degree are ready to enter the work force after gr
aduation.  
 Majors include programs that the community college offers such as Dental Hygiene, Art, Biology, Air 	
Conditioning,   Automotive Technology, Fire Technology, Police Science, Paralegal, Computer Coding, 
and others.  In addition, you are qualified to enroll at a 4 year college to continue your education.	
 
 B. Associate Degree with Transfer Major. 
 Students who earn this degree are ready to directly transfer from the co
mmunity college to a 4 year  	
college.  There are two types of transfer programs:  (a) transfer to a CSU (or Cal State)  college, such as 
Cal State Long Beach or Cal State Bakersfield; or (b) for transfer to the UC (University of California) 
system, such as UC Berkeley, or UCLA. 	
EARNING AN ASSOCIATE’S  DEGREE
 	Step #1 — English, Communication, and Math (also called Critical Thinking)	
 You must take three classes:  	(a) English:	 From list of English classes that qualify, you select one.  	
 	(b) Communication: 	You may choose a speech class  — Public Speaking, Group Discussion, or other.  	
(c) Math (or Critical Thinking):	 You may select the one class such as College Algebra, Statistics, 	
Computer Programming, Logic, or other.  NOTE:  Community college may combine (b) and (c) and 
require you to select one class.  Ask a counselor to explain what is required at your college.

California Community Colleges (Page 8)	
 Step# 2 — Social, Political, Economic, and Behavioral Sciences (also
 known as Social Studies)
 You must take two classes for this step:  (a) One class in American Government, History, or Political 	
Science.  (b) One class in behavioral science such as Anthropology, Child Development, Psychology, 
Sociology, Economics, Marriage & Family, etc.	
 	Step #3 — Humanities (study of the cultural activities and artistic expressions)	
 You must choose one class from a long list of many classes which may include Art History,  World 
 Literature, Spanish, Humanities, Interior Design, Music, Philosophy , Sign Language, Drama, etc.
 	Step #4 — Sciences	
 Some community colleges require one science class with a lab; others require two sciences classes, one 	
with a lab.  You choose the class you will enjoy from a long list of classes which include Astronomy, 
Biology, Environmental Studies, Chemistry, Geology, Marine Science, and others.	
 	Step #5 — Cultural Studies	
 You must choose one class from a list of classes that qualify for this re
quirement.  Classes may include 	
Human Communication, Intercultural Studies, Cultural Geography, World Civilization, Mass Media, 
Religions of the World, Ethics, International Relations, and others.	
 Step #6 — Lifelong Learning and Wellness
 You must choose one class from a list of those classes that qualify.  Classes on the list usually include 	
PE classes as well as classes such as Introduction to Health, Gerontology (study of elderly people), 
Child Development, Counseling, Home Economics, Human Services, Psychology , etc.	
 	Step #7 — Major	
 You must take about  seven classes in major of your choice such as Fire Fighting, Nursing, Graphic
 Design, Automotive, Business Management, Electronics, Administration of Justice, or other — or 
 major in Transfer Studies.  Some majors require more than seven classes — such as Nursing, Fire 	
Fighting, and Police Science.  Other majors — such as Business and Child Development — do not 
require more than seven classes and will allow you to take some elective classes (any interesting class 
you want to take).	
WILL A DEGREE HELP ME EARN MORE MONEY?
You earn a community college employment Certificate by completing 
Step 7 only — the major.  But after you earn the Associate of Arts (AA) 
or Associate of Science (AS) degree, employers will know that in 
addition to your major, you completed a series of classes to give you: 
a) skills in communication and math; b) appreciation of humankind;
c) ability learn on your own; d) appreciation of the importance of life 
fitness; and e) skills to support lifelong learning.  Since employers want 
to hire the best person for the job, the AA or AS degree may prove to an 
employer that you are that person!
