Student Status New Student You are a new student if you have never enrolled in classes at any college. New Transfer You are a new transfer if you have attended another college, but have never been enrolled at LMC. Returning Student You are a returning student if you have attended LMC but have been away for two consecutive semesters or longer. Returning Transfer You are a returning transfer if you have previously been enrolled at LMC and are now returning after attending another college. Continuing Student You are a continuing student if you have been enrolled at LMC within the past two semesters.
Program Changes During Late Add Period No course may be added after the late registration period. Check with course instructors or the Admissions & Records Office for summer class registration deadlines. An instructor’s approval is required to enroll in a class that has reached maximum enrollment or has already started. First priority for late adds will go to students on the wait list. Late registration may be processed one of three ways: • By Web— Go to www.losmedanos.edu and log in to WebAdvisor. Select “Late Registration” and enter the course section number and late add code; or • By Phone— Call the phone registration system at 925-370-9000; follow the voice prompt and enter the course section number and late add code; or • In-Person—Bring late add code to the Admissions & Records Office or the Brentwood Center by the last day to add. Course enrollment is not complete until the add information is processed and the enrollment fee is paid.
Drops/No Shows Students who do not attend the first class meeting may be dropped by the instructor as a “no show.” However, it is the student’s responsibility to drop any class which he/she is not planning to attend. Failure to do so may result in an ‘F’ grade and a debt on the student’s account. Non-attendance does not dismiss the debt. Students must drop classes within refund deadlines to receive a refund.
Since summer session is so short, the refund period may be the first day of the class, or the day before the first day. Please be sure you are aware of the deadlines for your class. Since drop deadlines will vary (with or without a refund) depending upon the length of the course, students should inquire in the Admissions & Records Office about these timelines or ask the course instructor. Drop dates are also listed on WebAdvisor under My Class Schedule.
Closed and Cancelled Classes Any class may be closed to further enrollment when it reaches the maximum size. Additionally, if enrollment is insufficient in any class, it may be cancelled. For information regarding refunds for cancelled classes, see the refund policy.
Outstanding Debts If you have an outstanding debt on your record, you will be blocked from registration, from obtaining copies of academic transcripts, and/or receiving your diploma until all debts are cleared. Enrollment fee and nonresident tuition debts may be paid at the Cashier’s Office, the Admissions & Records Office or the Brentwood Center. Library or Child Study Center debts must be paid at the Cashier’s Office.
Residency For purposes of establishing tuition fees, students are identified as either residents or non-residents. • Residents: those who have lived in Calif ornia as legal residents for at least one year prior to the first day of a new semester and who can dem onstrate intent to remain a Calif ornia resident. Non-citizens who meet resid ency requirements and who desire to enroll as a California resident must provide documentation from USCIS. • Non-residents: those who do not meet the California resident requirements. See page 6 regarding tuition for non-California residents.
Nonresident Tuition Exemption In 2001 the California legislature passed a law (AB 540) that exempts certain categories of students from paying nonresident tuition. To be eligible, you must have completed at least three years of high school and have graduated (or earned a high school equivalency) while living and attending school in California. If you believe you are eligible for this special exemption, submit the California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request form to the Admissions & Records Office for review. The form is available online at www.losmedanos.edu or at the Admissions & Records Office or Brentwood Center.

Special Admit High School Students
Open Course Policy
Students who are 14 years of age or older or those who have completed the eighth grade or higher are eligible for concurrent enrollment as ‘special admit’ students. High school students may enroll in up to seven (7) units in fall and spring terms or five (5) units of college coursework in the summer with approval of their school principal and parent*. With appropriate approvals, special admit students may enroll in advanced academic and vocational credit courses (degree applicable courses only).
Every course is open for enrollment to any person admitted to the college who meets the course prerequisites and enrollment procedures.
Students 14 – 15 years of age and/or special admit students requesting to enroll in more than the unit limit are required to complete the online orientation. Signatures for approval must be submitted at the time of enrollment on an Age Waiver Form or Unit Limit Waiver Form. * Important Note: By giving consent, parents of concurrently enrolled high school students agree they understand that the college is an adult learning environment and students are expected to behave accordingly. Additionally, they understand that classes will be taught at the college level and the curriculum and college procedures will not be modified nor will other accommodations be made.
Special Admit Enrollment Policies Concurrently enrolled high school students may enroll in college courses with submission of a college application and proper approval forms on a space-available basis. Registration for high school students must be completed in-person on designated enrollment dates or anytime later (see enrollment dates on preceding page). Required forms that must be submitted each term/semester: online college application, (if you have been away two semesters or longer) a Special Admit Enrollment form, and if applicable, an Age Waiver Form or Unit Limit Waiver Form. Special Admit students should bring documentation to verify prerequisites (if required) at the time of registration (see ‘Prerequisites/ Advisories). Note that enrollment in English and some math classes require completion of the LMC assessment test prior to registration. An appointment can be made through the Assessment Center, located in CC2-256 (level 2). For information call (925) 439-2181, extension 3252 or www.losmedanos.edu/assessment.
Special Admit Orientation Students 14 – 15 years of age or high school students wishing to appeal the unit limit must participate in a special admit orientation and request approval from an instructional dean. View the orientation on the college web site (www.losmedanos.edu/orientations). Print a “Certificate of Completion” at the end of the orientation and arrange to meet with an instructional dean to request enrollment approval.
All courses are offered for college credit; auditing is not permitted.
Duplicate or Conflicting Courses Students are not permitted to enroll in more than one section of the same course and may not enroll in courses that have scheduled meeting times which conflict.
Prerequisites/Advisories Note: Some courses have prerequisites or advisories included with the course descrip tion. These are designated to assist students in the selection of course levels for their maximum success. Important: To ensure proper placement, prerequisites for all classes will be checked at the time of registration. If you have taken a prerequisite course at an institution other than LMC, you should request to have an official transcript sent to the Admissions & Records Office prior to registration or bring a transcript with you for purposes of verification. Prerequisites may be challenged through the end of the first week of instruction for semester-length classes or through the last date to add for shortterm classes. Challenge forms are available through the Admissions & Records Office. A student may be conditionally enrolled in a course upon submission of a completed challenge form. If the challenge is denied, the student will be dropped from the class and the enrollment fee will be refunded. References to “successful completion” implies with a grade of ‘C’ or better. Advisories are recommendations only and need not be verified.
Wait List Students can place themselves on a wait list for closed classes. Once courses with a wait list fill to their maximum capacity, you have the option to add your name to a priority listing in the event drops should occur or the instructor agrees to add late enrollees (at the first class meeting). Important Wait List Details 1. All corequisites or prerequisites must be met before being placed on a wait list. 2. Once you have added your name to a wait list, you can check your status (i. e. you are now # 2 of 5 students on the list) by going into “Manage My Waitlist” on WebAdvisor. You should check your status on WebAdvisor frequently, to allow yourself the maximum amount of time to enroll,
4 | Los Medanos College | 925-439-2181 | Summer 2011
in the event permission is granted prior to the start of instruction (includes weekends and holidays). 3. If space becomes available in your wait list course, you will receive notification that the space is being reserved for you. The message will be sent by email or you can access the information by checking “Manage My Wait List”. All wait list communication will be sent to your student email account. 4. Once permission is granted, you will have five calendar days to enroll in the class, via WebAdvisor or by the phone registration system (or in-person). After five days, if you have not enrolled in the class, your name will be removed from the wait list and the next student on the list will be notified that he/she is eligible to fill the open seat. Once your name is removed from the list, you no longer have priority status. 5. If you are on a wait list at the start of instruction, you must attend the first class meeting to see if there is space available for late enrollment. If you do not attend the first class, you lose your place on the priority listing and another student may be added instead. If approved, the instructor will give you a unique late-add code. The code must be entered on the phone registration system or on WebAdvisor by the end of the late registration period. Your registration is not complete until your add code is processed and enrollment fees are paid. Please note: Beginning with the first day of instruction, the option to have your name placed on a wait list is no longer available.
Transfer of Credit If you have previous college experience and would like to transfer other college credit to LMC, you must request an official college transcript to be sent to the LMC Admissions and Records Office (Note: not required if prior coursework is within the CCCCD district.) Your previous coursework will then be evaluated for prerequisite and equivalent course information. A full evaluation will be completed as needed for counseling appointments or with submission of a Petition to Graduate.
Veterans Benefits Priority registration appointments are available by request to active military personnel and to honorably discharged veterans. Information on veteran’s benefits is available at www.losmedanos.edu/veterans or you may contact the Veterans representative at (925) 439-2181 ext. 3129.

Student Fee Refund Information Student Fee and Enrollment Refunds
Parking Permit Refunds
Fee refunds for students who withdraw from school or drop classes by the deadline for class add/drop will be automatically calculated at the District Accounting Department. Refund checks for complete or partial withdrawals from school will be processed after the first two weeks of instruction. Refund checks will be mailed to the student address on file in the college Admissions & Records Office. If the student paid by credit card on WebAdvisor, the refund will be processed as a credit to the credit card.
Parking permit refunds will be made if the student drops all classes within the first two weeks of instruction for semester-length courses or by 10% of the length of short-term courses.The parking decal must be returned to the Cashier’s Office for a refund.
Don’t be left behind! If you have a new address, please notify the Admissions & Records Office immediately! This needs to done prior to the time of withdrawal or change of program. A refund will not be made if the student has other outstanding debts to the college. Refund checks will be issued monthly after the first two weeks of instruction each semester. All refund checks will be made payable to the student whether paid by cash, check, money order, cashier’s check or credit card. No refund of the enrollment fee will be made to any student who withdraws from classes after the first two weeks of instruction for a full semester class, or after 10% of the class time for a short-term class. An example, a 10-day course would need to be dropped in just one day! And a one-day course would need to be dropped the day before the course. Students who register and subsequently drop all classes prior to the beginning of the semester may petition for an early refund at the Cashier’s Office.
Financial Aid Enrollment Fee Refunds If subsequent to paying enrollment fees, a student becomes eligible for financial aid and receives an enrollment fee waiver, the student will automatically be mailed a full refund check according to the same refund processing cycle as enrollment fee refunds.
Enrollment Fee Deferments If subsequent to paying enrollment fees, a student becomes eligible for an enrollment fee deferment to an outside agency, the student must have the document stating the deferment submitted to the Cashier’s Office. The student will then automatically be mailed a refund check of the deferred fees within two weeks after the outside agency has been billed. Details regarding the refund policy are available from the Cashier’s Office or Admissions & Records Office.
Important Note: You will NOT be automatically dropped from classes based on non attendance or nonpayment of fees. Failure to drop your course may result in a failing grade and a debt on your record. All outstanding debts must be paid in full. Unpaid debts will result in a registration and transcript hold on student records.

Academic Scholarship Standards Attendance Students are expected to be punctual and attend all courses in which they are enrolled. Students may be dropped by the instructor for failure to attend class in the following circumstances: 1. Failure to attend first class meeting. 2. Absence from three consecutive weeks of instruction. 3. At any point when it is concluded that absences have irretrievably affected the student’s progress in his/her coursework. Grades should not be used as punishment for absences. However, academic grades may be lowered to the degree that instructors can estimate the loss of cognitive, affective, or skills learning due to student absences.
Grading The evaluation in college-level courses is a prime responsibility of the instructor. Such evaluation involves the measurements of achievement against the objectives of the course and the assignment of a letter grade to denote the student’s degree of success. The grade, as submitted by the instructor, shall be considered final and permanent. Grades cannot be changed by submitting additional course work or taking examinations after the semester (or term) is completed. Under state law, the instructor’s determination is final unless the grade given was the result of 1) mistake, 2) fraud, 3) bad faith, or 4) incompetency. (Ed. Code Section 76224.) No grade may be challenged more than one year after the end of the session in which the grade was assigned. For information on the policy regarding grade challenges, contact the Office of Student Life, GA Building, ext. 3266.
Final Grades Final grades can be accessed at the end of instruction, immediately following instructor grade entry on-line. Students can obtain their final grades by: 1) calling the touch tone phone registration system at 925-370-9000 OR 2) going into inSite/WebAdvisor via the LMC web site at www.losmedanos.edu.

NP No Pass (less than satisfactory or failing — units not counted in GPA) W Indicates withdrawal from a course within the allowed time I Incomplete—Academic work that is incomplete for unforeseeable emergency and justifiable reasons at the end of a term; student must be passing course to be eligible for incomplete. Student will not re-enroll in the course to complete pending assignments, projects or exams. A final grade is assigned when the work has been completed or after one year, unless a petition for time extension has been approved by the Director of Admissions and Records and the instructor.
Pass/No-Pass Grade Option: The purpose of the Pass/No Pass (P/NP) option is to allow students to take challenging courses while avoiding undue concern for their grade point averages. Students who select this option are, however, expected to complete the course, comply with attendance requirements, and comply with all other requirements of the course. Selected courses have been labeled with “SC” to indicate student choice for the P/NP option. If students do not choose the P/NP option before the deadline, they will be issued a letter grade for the course. It is often best to discuss this choice with a counselor. In order to exercise this option, a petition must be filed with the Admissions and Records Office at the time of registration or no later than the deadline listed for a full-semester class. Petitions for summer session and short-term courses must be filed within the first thirty percent of the course. After the deadline has passed, the grading choice may not be reversed.
Important P/NP information: • A P grade represents a letter grade of A, B, or C • A NP grade represents a letter grade of D or F • Units earned on a P/NP basis will not be used to calculate grade point averages • Units attempted for which NP is recorded will be considered in factoring probation and dismissal status • Units earned on a P/NP basis will apply to the 60 units required for an associate degree • Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may or may not limit the number of P units that will be accepted from transfer students.
P Pass (at least satisfactory—C or better — units awarded not counted in GPA) 32 | Los Medanos College | 925-439-2181 | Summer 2011
Probation & Dismissal Probation and dismissal status is based on coursework that is attempted and completed within the Contra Costa Community College District. Students should be aware that their academic standing is not based solely on LMC units. Academic Probation: Cumulative GPA under 2.0 with 12 or more cumulative units attempted. Removal from Academic Probation: Cumulative GPA 2.0 or better. Academic Dismissal Status: Three consecutive semesters of Academic Probation unless most recent semester GPA is 2.0 or higher. Progress Probation: With 12 or more cumulative units completed, 50 percent or more are W, I, and/ or NP. Removal from Progress Probation: Cumulative units completed are more than 50 percent of cumulative units attempted. Progress Dismissal Status: Three consecutive semesters of Progress Probation unless most recent semester student completes 50 percent or more of attempted units.
Course Repetition Courses are not repeatable unless noted within the course descriptions listed in the catalog. Students may repeat a non-repeatable course only to alleviate a substandard grade of D, F or NC/NP. If a student has three substandard grades in the same course, he/she may not repeat the course unless there has been extenuating circumstances (petition required). When a course is repeated to alleviate a substandard grade, only the last grade and its units will be used in computing the student’s grade point average. The substandard grade will remain on the student’s transcript with a notation that the course has been repeated. Courses that are repeatable are noted in the college catalog with the number of repeats allowed. Students may not repeat a course beyond the maximum repeats, even to alleviate substandard grades. Course repetition cannot be used to make up an incomplete (I) grade. Withdrawals • A student may not receive more than four W’s from the same credit course • A W shall not be assigned if the student withdraws due to the impact of fire, flood or other extraordinary conditions • In the case of discriminatory treatment or retaliation for discriminatory treatment a ‘W’ shall not be assigned
Repeat of Biology Courses Students who have received two substandard grades or W’s or any combination in the same Biology 40, 45 or 50 course will be blocked from the future enrollment in that course. Students may appeal the policy using the Petition for Course Repetition form. Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition Based on the Academic Renewal Policy, substandard grades may be disregarded if they are not reflective of a student’s demonstrated academic ability. If Academic Renewal is approved, the student’s permanent record will be notated with appropriate comments and the substandard (D, F, NC/NP) unit values will not be computed in the cumulative grade point average. The “renewed” courses and the related grades will not be removed from the record, as the district is required to show a complete and accurate academic record for every student (Title 5, Section 55046). Students MUST meet with a counselor to review options for Academic Renewal, as this procedure is irreversible. 1. The student may only utilize Academic Renewal one time in the district. 2.
Only substandard grades may be “renewed”.
3. Immediately following the course work with substandard grades, the student must have completed at least 20 units* with ‘C’ grades or better from LMC or any other accredited college or university. (*The unit count begins the semester after the substandard grade is received.) 4. Academic renewal may be applied for up to 24 units. District courses can be combined up to the maximum of 24 units however, each college must adjust the academic record for courses completed through that location. An Academic Renewal request form should be submitted for each college. 5. Courses/related grades that have already been removed from the cumulative grade point average based on course repetition will not be “renewed.” 6.
There is no time limit for academic renewal.
