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 Fall 2009 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. Open registration begins – on Jan. 11 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 Jan12. If a course is still open during the late registration period, you may enroll at the Admissions 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 responsibility 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 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 Cal ifornia as legal residents for at least one year prior to the first day of a new semes ter and who can demonstrate intent to remain a Calif ornia resident. Noncitizens 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-Califor nia 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 Office for review. The form is available online at www.losmedanos.edu or at the Admissions 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 units in fall and spring terms or five 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 view a special online orientation with their parent or guardian. If the student has already completed an orientation in prior semesters, repeating the orientation is optional and approval may be requested by arranging to meet with an instructional dean prior to the start of instruction. Signatures for approval must be submitted at the time of enrollment on a Special Admit Unit and Age 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 High School Student Enrollment 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: college application, (if you have been away two semester or longer) a Special Admit Enrollment form, and if applicable, the Unit & Age 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 requires completion of the LMC assessment test prior to registration. Arrangements can be made through the Assessment Center, located in Room 524 (Level 3). For information call 925-4392181, extension 3252. Special Admit Orientation Requirement
Print a “Certificate of Completion” at the end of the online 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 pro cedures. All courses are offered for college credit; auditing is not permitted. Prerequisites/Advisories Note: Some courses have prerequisites or advisories included with the course descrip tion. These are designated to assist students in 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 semester-length 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).
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. See next page for details. • View the orientation on the college web site www.losmedanos.edu/orientation.

Important Wait List Details
Student Status
Vocational Rehabilitation
1. All corequisites or prerequisites must be met before being placed on a wait list.
New Student
The State Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation provides financial assistance in some cases to students who require vocational training. Aid covers fees and books. Applicants should see a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor well in advance of the school term to work out necessary arrangements.
2. Once you have added your name to a wait list, you can check your status (i. e. you are now number 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 and phone number 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. Please note: Beginning with the first day of instruction, the option to have your name placed on a wait list is no longer available.

Student Fee Refund Information 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. 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.

Parking Permit Refunds Parking permit refunds will be made if the student drops all classes within the first two weeks of instruction for semesterlength 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. The refund check will be mailed to the student according to the same refund processing cycle as enrollment fee refunds.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CALIFORNIA DOMESTIC PARTNER RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT The California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act extends new rights, benefits, responsibilities and obligations to individuals in domestic partnerships registered with the California Secretary of State under Section 297 of the Family Code. If you are in a Registered Domestic Partnership (RDP), you will be treated as an Independent married student to determine eligibility for this Enrollment Fee Waiver and will need to provide income and household information for your domestic partner. If you are a dependent student and your parent is in a Registered Domestic Partnership, you will be treated the same as a student with married parents and income and household information will be required for the parent’s domestic partner.

Final Exam Schedule
Monday – Friday Final examination week at Los Medanos College is Monday, May 24, through Friday, May 28. (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. 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 24 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 27, 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 24, and end Thursday evening, May 27, 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 22.

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! Meets Humanities requirements for general education and CSU Humanities Area C2.

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 Course Repetition Appeal Process 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 Director of Student Services will review all appeals for possible reinstatement. If rein stated, 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 a significant lapse of time or 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
Repeat of Biology Courses
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 at 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.

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.
Spring Semester 2010 Florence, Italy 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.

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 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.
