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.
Closed and Cancelled Classes Any class may be closed to further registration when it reaches the maximum size. Additionally, if registration is insufficient in any class, it may be cancelled. For information regarding refunds for cancelled classes, see the refund policy.
Residency For purposes of establishing enrollment fees, students are identified as either residents or non-residents. • Residents: those who have lived in California 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 California resident.
Non-citizens who meet residency require ments and who desire to enroll as a California resident must provide documentation from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). • Non-residents: those who do not meet the California resident requirements. See page 6 regarding tuition for non-California residents.
Nonresident Tuition Exemption (AB 540) 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, at the Admissions & Records Office or Brentwood Center.
Special Admit High School Students Students who are 14 years of age or older and those who have completed the eighth grade or higher are eligible for concurrent enrollment as ‘special admit’ students. High school students may register 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 register in advanced academic and vocational credit courses (degree applicable courses only). Students 14 – 15 years of age and/or special admit students requesting to register in more than the unit limit are required to complete the online orientation. Signatures for approval must be submitted at the time of registration 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 register 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 registration dates or anytime later (see registration 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 ‘Prerequisite/Advisories’ below). Note that registration 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. For information call (925) 439-2181, extension 3252 or www.losmedanos.edu. For information about the Brentwood Center, call (925) 513-1625 or www.losmedanos.edu/brentwood/assessment.
Special Admit Orientation Requirement 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 a dean or manager. View the orientation on the college web site (www.losmedanos.edu/orientation). Print a “Certificate of Completion” at the end of the
orientation and arrange to meet with a manager to request approval.
Open Course Policy Every course is open for registration to any person admitted to the college who meets the course prerequisites and enrollment procedures. All courses are offered for college credit; auditing is not permitted.
Duplicate or Conflicting Courses Students are not permitted to register in more than one section of the same course and may not register in courses that have scheduled meeting times which conflict.
Prerequisites/Advisories Note: Some courses have prerequisites or advisories included with the course description. 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 LMC Admissions & Records Office prior to registration or bring a transcript with you for purposes of verification. Prerequisites may be challenged through the fifth day of the term. Challenge forms are available through the Admissions & Records Office. A student may be conditionally registered 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
NEW WAITLIST POLICY
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).
Once granted permission to register, you only have 3 calendar days to enroll in the waitlisted class.
Important Wait List Details 1. All corequisites or prerequisites must be met before being placed on a wait list.
Student Status
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 register, in the event you are granted permission prior to the start of instruction (includes weekends and holidays).
You are a new student if you have never registered in classes at LMC.
3. If space becomes available in your wait list course, you will receive notification to your Insite email account that permission has been granted to register. The message will be sent by email or you can access the information by checking “Manage My Wait List”. *All wait list notification will be sent to the student’s college email account. Please check it frequently if you are on a wait list. 4. Once permission is granted, you will have three calendar days to register in the class, via WebAdvisor (or in-person). After three (3) days, if you have not registered 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 in WebAdvisor by the end of the late registration period (August 29 for semesterlength classes). Your registration is not complete until your add code is processed. Please note: Once a course has started, the option to have your name placed on a waitlist is no longer available.

YOUR DREAMS
ARE TOO IMPORTANT to let college pass you by. All you need to do is ask... Financial aid is the way many of today’s students pay for college. The Office of Financial Aid can help you apply for state and federal grants, work-study programs, and enrollment fee waivers.
LOS MEDANOS COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID Grants are the primary form of financial aid available at LMC. Grants are “free” money that students obtain by taking classes. Grants do not have to be paid back and are given to qualified students in the form of a check.

Final Exam Schedule Monday – Friday
FALL 2013 Day Class Schedule
Final examination week at Los Medanos College is Thursday, Dec 12, through Wednesday, Dec 18. (Make-up finals will be scheduled on Wednesday only with advanced instructor consent.) In order to determine the scheduled final examination time for a particular day class, locate the day and class meeting time on the top chart and note the letter in the time slot. Next, locate the letter representing the time block for your regularly scheduled class on the bottom schedule, which will tell you on what day and what time you will take the final for that class. For example, if you have a class MWF 10-11 a.m., the letter that corresponds to this class is “C” on the top chart. By locating “C” on the bottom chart, you will find that your scheduled final exam time for the class is Friday, Dec. 12 from 10 a.m. to noon. If your class was TTh 11-12:30, the letter on the top chart would be “L”. By locating “L” on the lower chart, you will find that the final will be on Tuesday, Dec 17, 10 a.m. to noon.
Thursday
For any course that crosses more than one block, use the block that contains the majority of the class time. For example, if your class meets TTh from 8 to 10 a.m., use “J”. If your class meets TTh 1:30-3 p.m., use “N”.

Would it change the way you live? Would you continue to work hard to get good grades and, hopefully, improve your future prospects? Perhaps self-improvement is not, as Plato insists, a reasonable goal, for that would assume that you have much control over you destiny than you, or anyone, actually had. Schopenhauer was not the first to say this. Nietzsche, on the other hand, thinks that those who choose to see the glass half empty are simply unwilling, or too lazy, to fight one’s way to the top. What to do? Join us in Philosophy -040 and we’ll explore these issues. Be prepared to write a lot of short essays and to decipher the deeper philosophical message of some thought-provoking movies.

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 instruc tors 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 instruc tor’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, ext. 3266. Final Grades Final grades can be accessed at the end of instruction, immediately following instructor grade entry on-line. Students can learn about their final grades by going into WebAdvisor via the LMC web site at www.losmedanos.edu.

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.

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 fullsemester 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 information related to the P/NP option: • 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. 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.

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. Students are limited to enrolling in credit classes a maximum of three times. This includes students earning substandard grades or dropping with a “W.” Students enrolling for a third time will be blocked from registration and required to submit a petition to repeat. Students are urged to manage course load and be aware of the number of enrollments for a specific course. Carefully consider dropping courses and understand all deadlines. Take advantage of tutoring and other support services to achieve successful completion of all courses. When a course is repeated to alleviate a substandard grade, the previous grade will be disregarded 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 • Students who have documented extenuating circumstances such as accidents, illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the student, may apply for a withdrawal after the 75 percent of the term (petition required). • A ‘W’ shall not be assigned if the student withdraws due to the impact of fire, flood or other extraordinary conditions (petition required).
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 future enrollment in that course. Students may appeal the policy using the Petition for Course Repetition form. Academic Renewal Policy 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.
Fall 2013 | Register Online www.losmedanos.edu | 95
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.
