How to Register Continuing student priority registration: By appointment, online and phone registration only (see page 10 for instructions). Note that students enrolling in the Cosmetology or Nursing Program must enroll in-person. Registration appointments are automatically assigned to continuing students based on units accumulated as of the end of the October 2010 session. Appointment dates and times can be viewed on WebAdvisor by going to “Priority Registration Date” on the WebAdvisor menu via the college web site, www.losmedanos.edu. New and returning student priority registration – Apply and enroll early, online and phone only. Walk-in registration begins – on Jan. 10 for the spring. Enroll online, by phone, or in-person. Online and phone registration services will be available through the day before individual course sections begin, on a space-available basis. In-person enrollment will continue through the designated last date to add. All special Admit/concurrent High School students register in person beginning Jan 11. If a course is still open during the late registration period, you may enroll at the Admissions & Records Office without instructor permission.

Drops/No Shows Students who are not present at the first class meeting may be dropped by the instructor as a “no show.” However, it is the student’s re­spon­ si­bil­i­ty to officially withdraw from any classes in which they no longer wish to be enrolled. Non-attendance and non-payment of fees do not release the student from this responsibility and may result in a failing grade. Students may drop classes through the telephone registration system, online (on WebAdvisor) or in-person, at the main campus or at the Brentwood Center prior to the designated drop deadline. Since drop deadlines 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 instructor.

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.

Residency For purposes of establishing tuition 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 dem­on­strate in­tent to remain a Cal­i­for­nia resident. Non-citizens who meet res­i­den­cy re­quire­ments and who desire to enroll as a Cal­i­for­nia res­i­dent must provide doc­u­men­ta­ tion 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 (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 or at the Admissions & Reecords Office.

Special Admit High School Students 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). 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 ‘Prerequisite/Advisories’ below). 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 Room 524 (Level 3). For information call (925) 439-2181, extension 3252 or www.losmedanos.edu.

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 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.

Open Course Policy Every course is open for en­roll­ment 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.

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 end of the first week of instruction for semesterlength classes or through the last date to add for short-term classes. Challenge forms are available through the Admissions & Records Office or the Brentwood Center 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, 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”. *It is important that the Admissions Office has your current email address on file. Failure to provide updated information will not result in extended time to be allowed for enrollment. 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 (February 4 for semester-length classes). Your registration is not complete until your add code is processed and enrollment fees are paid.

Student Fee and Enrollment Refund 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 Office. If the student paid by credit card on WebAdvisor, the refund will be processed as a credit to the credit card. 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.

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 as­sis­tance

What If You Can’t Afford the Fees?

We Can Help You! Come to the Office of Financial Aid and learn about the fi­nan­cial opportunities available to eligible students. Financial assistance check disbursements for students enrolled at the beginning of the term for semester-length and short term courses will be paid as follows: • 25% of the student’s financial aid computation will be paid during the first week of the school term. • The computed financial aid, minus first installment payment, will be paid on the 5th week of the term. The above payment schedule provides for an early financial aid payment to assist with textbooks and other college start-up expenses. The final or second payment is a revised computation of financial aid based on currently enrolled units through the end of the add/drop period. Selective Service Requirement & Financial Aid Section 3 of the Military Selective Service Act requires that all male United States citizens and male aliens residing in the United States and its territories, who are 18 through 25 years of age, must register with Selective Service. Men who were born after December 31, 1959, who are not registered with Selective Service will not qualify for any Federal student loans or grant programs. The Selective Services requirement does not affect eligibility for the Board of Governors Waiver. 8 | Los Medanos College | 925-439-2181 | Spring 2011

WH AT ’ S A B O G F W ? A BOGFW, officially called the “Board of Governors Fee Waiver”, is a waiver of enrollment fees provided by the State of California for students who have been California residents for more than one year. Students who are required to pay non-resident tuition or do not meet citizenship requirements do not qualify. There are three ways to qualify for a BOGFW. You only need to be eligible for one.

PLA N A H E A D ! Do not wait until you want to register to apply. Processing time for BOGFW A & B is three (3) business days. The BOGFW C can take up to six (6) weeks. We highly recommend that students apply online: http://www.cccapply.org/BOG_Waiver to expedite the process. A paper application can be obtained from the LMC Office of Financial Aid or it can be downloaded from our website www.losmedanos.edu/studentservices/finaid/default.asp.

WH AT H A P P E N S I F I R E C E I V E A B O G F W ? You will be notified of your BOGFW eligibility by award letter. You may also check your eligibility on WebAdvisor. If you are eligible for a BOGFW A, B, or C your per unit enrollment fees are waived, regardless of how many classes you enroll in. All other fees charged (i.e., Student Union and Parking) remain your responsibility to pay. If you have already paid your enrollment fees and qualify for a BOGFW, you will receive a refund of these fees. Refund checks are automatically calculated and mailed to all students. BOGFW recipients may qualify for discounted parking You only need to apply once per academic year. Applications are due no later than the last day of the semester for which you are applying. BOGFW APPLICATIONS THAT ARE NOT COMPLETE OR ACCURATE WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

Final Exam Schedule Monday – Friday Final examination week at Los Medanos College is Monday, May 23, through Friday, May 27. (Make-up finals will be scheduled on Friday 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.

Spring 2011 Day Class Schedule

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 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 Monday, May 23 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 Thursday, May 26, 10 a.m. to noon. 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”.

Evening and Weekend Classes Weekday evening final examinations begin Monday, May 23, and end Thursday evening, May 26, during the regularly scheduled class time. (Evening classes are defined as those that begin at 4 p.m. or thereafter.) The final exam time for Saturday classes is the last regularly scheduled meeting time, May 21.

The Ancient world was a place in which humanity first learned the costs and benefits of living together… law, regulations, taxes and war, but also peace, prosperity, literature, art and architecture as well as religion and philosophy. We will see the rise and fall of the great beacons of Western political history: Babylon, Egypt, Assyria, Israel, Persia, Greece and Rome, and how they collectively taught us, their descendants, the art of government. Most of all, this course chronicles the struggle of people like ourselves to cope with the same issues that confront us today. Join us, as we experience their efforts to bring order to what seemed a chaotic world controlled by fickle and demanding gods.

ADVISORY: Eligibility for ENGL-100 LMC Degree: GE: Humanities; DA Transfer: UC, CSU Gen. Ed. Area C2, IGETC Area 3B The Western world in which we live today is a product of the past we share. Based in the Humanist intellectual revolution of the Renaissance, the Modern world began. What started so brightly darkened into a European world torn apart by religious wars and absolute monarchies. In the Enlightenment that followed, rationalism led equally to advances in science, sociology and philosophy, but also to revolution and war on a global scale. The 19th century saw Romanticism in the arts, nationalistic politics, the rise of capitalism, industrialization and colonization and exploitation of the non-Western world. The dilemmas posed by these controversies led in turn to a reappraisal of humanity in the births of psychology, existentialism and relativism. Join us, as we travel the path that led us to where we are today! LR

LEARNING communities

It’s a simple concept, really. Courses are “linked” or arranged together with a common theme, common materials, and common content. The same group of students enroll in two or more classes and share learning and social experiences.

To inspire your learning experience. We learn naturally by making connections between different ideas and experiences. In Learning Communities, we integrate common themes to create a better understanding of the subject. As you share common assignments with the same community of students in both classes, you will learn more and complete more units with less stress.

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.

ADVISORY: Eligibility for ENGL-090 LMC Degree: DA What are Soft Skills? Why are they important? Soft skills are the personal and interpersonal skills we use to motivate ourselves and interact favorably with others. They are the non-technical intangible,personality-specific skills that determine our strengths as a leader, listener, self starter, negotiator, and conflict mediator. “Hard” skills, on the other hand are more along the lines of what might appear on your resume-your education, experience and level of expertise. Research has shown that a person’s soft skills are equally and often more important to many organizations than your technical expertise. This highly interactive course will expose you to the soft skills that will help you obtain a job and excel in your job in critically important people-interaction areas. Not only will you learn a great deal about how to interact favorably with others but you will gain a greater appreciation of your own self worth and potential.

3. At any point when it is concluded that absences have irretrievably af­fect­ ed 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 cog­ ni­tive, 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 Student Affairs Center, Room 800A, 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

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:

F Failing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0

• A P grade represents a letter grade of A, B, or C

P Pass (at least satisfactory—C or better — units awarded not counted in GPA)

• A NP grade represents a letter grade of D or F

NP No Pass (less than sat­is­fac­to­ry or failing —units not counted in GPA)

• Units earned on a P/NP basis will not be used to calculate grade point av­er­ag­es

W Indicates withdrawal from a course within the allowed time

• Units attempted for which NP is recorded will be con­sid­ered in factoring probation and dis­miss­al status

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.

• 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. 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.

• In the case of discriminatory treatment or retaliation for discriminatory treatment a ‘W’ shall not be assigned

Notification of Probation and Dismissal

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.

Students on probation or dis­miss­al are notified as soon as possible but not later than the end of the following term. If you are on academic or progress dismissal, you must see a counselor prior to registering. Reinstatement for Academic or Progress Dismissal A student may appeal his/her dismissal status by making an appointment to see a counselor prior to the deadline date that is stated in the letter of notification. The Dean of Student Services will review all appeals for possible reinstatement. If re­in­stat­ed, a student is subject to con­tin­ued probation and dismissal policies. 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 98 | Los Medanos College | 925-439-2181 | Spring 2011

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. 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.

Study Abroad 2 0 1 1

Contra Costa Community College District invites you to participate in our study abroad programs. Courses are taught by our own Community College Professors and may be UC and CSU transferable. Students can enjoy and learn from their valuable experiences in a foreign country, while accumulating course credits from their host college. Financial aid is available to students that qualify. Below is a list of future offerings:

Florence, Italy Spring Semester 2011

People from all over the world visit Florence’s museums and churches, but the city is more than just a constant reminder of art history. It is a busy city throbbing with Italian vitality, a city for young people with cafes, shops and cinemas. Whether reliving the renaissance, indulging in opera or feeling the passion of an Italian soccer match, Florence is an experience worthy of discovery.

London, England Spring Semester 2011

London is an exciting city in which to live and study. Still one of the world’s most beautiful capitals, it is rich in art, music, theater and literary history. It is the seat of the British government and the world’s longest surviving monarchy.

Los Medanos College Campus Policies Non-Discrimination Pol­i­cy Los Medanos College complies with all Federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender or disability. This holds true for all students who are interested in participating in educational programs and/or extracurricular school activities. Harassment of any employee/student with regard to race, color, national origin, gender or disability is strictly prohibited. The lack of English language skills will not be a barrier to admission and participation in the college’s education programs. Inquiries regarding compliance and/or grievance procedures may be directed to the Los Medanos College Title IX Officer and/or the Section 504/ ADA Coordinator. Inquiries/Complaint Pro­ce­dures

Informal Procedures Students who have questions about the procedures to file a complaint of unlawful discrimination or feel that have been discriminated against, may contact the local Title IX coordinator, the Senior Dean of Student Services, by calling 925439-2181, ext. 3372. The Senior Dean will work with the student-complainant, respondent, and other appropriate college personnel to attempt an informal resolution. The President, or designee, will monitor the informal complainant process and any proposed resolution. The process will be completed within 30 calendar days of receiving the complaint. A record of the complaint and resolution will be kept.

Formal Procedures If the complaint cannot be resolved informally, the Senior Dean shall advise the student regarding his/her right to file a formal unlawful discrimination complaint. The Senior Dean will provide students with the District complaint form and forward the completed form to the District Vice Chancellor Human Resources. Upon receipt of a formal com­plaint, the District will im­me­di­ate­ly notify the State Chan­cel­lor’s Office. Within 10 calendar days of receipt, the District shall commence an investigation of the complaint and notify the com­plain­ant.

The Dis­trict has 90 calendar days in which to in­ves­ti­gate the com­plaint and report the ad­min­is­tra­tive findings to the com­plain­ ant and the State Chan­cel­lor’s Office. The com­plain­ant may appeal the administrative determination to the District Governing Board within 15 calendar days of notice of such de­ter­mi­na­tion. The District Governing Board has 45 calendar days in which to act on the appeal. Failure of the Board to act within the 45 days denotes approval of the ad­min­is­tra­tive determination. The complainant has the right to file a written appeal with the State Chan­cel­lor’s Office within 30 calendar days after the Governing Board issues the final District decision or permits the administrative decision to be­come final pursuant to the above. The Chancellor has discretion to accept or reject any such petition for review in employment dis­crim­i­na­tion cases. Students may also contact the Office for Civil Rights at the following address: Office for Civil Rights, San Francisco Office U.S. Department of Education Old Federal Building 50 United Nations Plaza, Room 239 San Francisco, CA 94102-4102 Telephone: 415-556-4275; Fax: 415-437-7783 TDD: 415-437-7786; Email: OCR.SanFrancisco@ed.gov
