History
The first junior college in California was established in
Fresno in 1910, stirring interest in the concept across
the state including attempts in Stockton in 1917, which
failed due to inadequate enrollment, and in 1920, when
the Stockton Board of Education formally agreed upon
an institution but provided no funds. It was at College of
the Pacific, a private, Methodist College located in
Stockton since 1924, that the origins of San Joaquin
Delta College began to emerge. In 1934 and under the
direction of Dr. Tully Knoles and Dr. Dwayne Orton,
head of the Pacific Speech Department, the College of
Pacific Coordinating Committee recommended the
formation of a lower division program to admit high
school students not fully qualified for regular Pacific
admission and for Pacific students who failed to maintain
satisfactory performance. The committee put the plan
into motion in February of 1934, naming Dr. Orton as
principal of the College of the Pacific Junior College.
The program's courses were listed in the Pacific catalog
of 1934-35, and 73 students were enrolled in the private
junior college that fall. Thus began the formative years.
Pacific officials offered to turn the program over to the
Stockton Board of Education, which was paying $30,000
annually for local students to attend distant public junior
colleges, and just days before the start of the 1935 fall
SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COLLEGE
6 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
semester, the State Board of Education authorized the
partnership between the two entities. Stockton Junior
College was formed in the fall of 1935 with space and
equipment rented from College of Pacific. Faculty from
College of the Pacific taught classes but were employed
and responsible to the Stockton Board of Education.
The success of the operation was so notable that Pacific
abandoned freshmen and sophomore instruction in the
spring of 1936, bequeathing all such instruction to the
junior college. The two institutions shared facilities
through World War II, when the junior college added
another unique, although temporary, feature: running an
aviation school in Nevada. Science instructor Dr. Arthur
T. Bawden succeeded Dr. Orton in this period.
Successful leadership ensued with Dr. Bawden, followed
by a triumvirate of three individuals Lorraine Knoles,
Burke W. Bradley, and Louis Windmiller in 1948.
Stockton Junior College became Stockton College in
1948, with Dr. Leon Minear as president and a total
student body of just under 2,000. The physical change
was even more evident, with classes being moved to a
43-acre site to the south of College of the Pacific's
campus. The educational pattern changed as well, as
the Stockton school system restructured into six years of
elementary instruction, four years of junior high, and an
additional four years combining the junior and senior
years of high school with the freshman and sophomore
years of college. The physical separation of Stockton
College and College of the Pacific was followed in 1951
by the recommencement of lower division class offerings
at Pacific.
In the decade of the 1950s, the educational needs of the
area became greater than the geographical focus of
Stockton College. In 1952, Dr. Julio Bortolazzo took
charge of the campus as the College began a different
approach. It expanded its vocational programs and
implemented the 6-4-4 plan. Dr. Burke Bradley, Jr.,
followed Bortolazzo as president after which San
Joaquin Delta College became the successor to
Stockton College. Legally separated from Stockton
Unified School District in 1963, the College
encompassed virtually all of San Joaquin County and
portions of three other counties. Dr. Bradley remained
as Superintendent/President of the newly formed San
Joaquin Delta Community College District.
The separation from Stockton Unified School District
made Delta College a tenant on land owned by SUSD.
In 1966, a bond election failed to develop a multi-
campus college district. In 1968-69, Dr. Bortolazzo
returned for one year to head a successful bond
campaign that provided funding for a portion of
construction of a new $50 million campus. The Rio
Vista-Isleton area in Solano County was annexed during
this time as well.
Dr. Joseph Blanchard was named
Superintendent/President of Delta College in 1969. He
combined $19.8 million in construction bonds with funds
from six other sources, and over the next seven years
directed the building of Delta’s first permanent home.
With the addition of part of Calaveras County in the
summer of 1976, the San Joaquin Delta Community
College District grew to 2,300 square miles, larger than
the states of Delaware or Rhode Island, and now serves
approximately 23,000 students.
Dr. Blanchard’s retirement in 1976 prompted college
trustees to make a nation-wide search for a new leader
that resulted in the selection of Dr. Dale Parnell, former
Chancellor of the San Diego Community College District
and Superintendent of Public Instruction in Oregon. Dr.
Parnell, resigned on July 1, 1981, to assume a position
as president and chief executive officer of the American
Association of Community and Junior Colleges.
In June of 1981, the Board of Trustees chose Lawrence
A. DeRicco as Superintendent/President. Dr. DeRicco,
a graduate of the old Stockton College, had been an
educator and businessman throughout the District
before serving as Delta College’s Business Manager
and Vice President/Management Services for 18 years.
Under Dr. DeRicco, the College entered a new era of
limitations and consolidation with many foreseeable
changes. During that time, DeRicco received an
honorary Doctorate in Education from his alma mater,
the University of the Pacific, for his contributions to the
field of education. Dr. DeRicco retired in June of 1987
after 24 years of service to the District.
In 1987, Dr. L. H. Horton, Jr., was appointed
Superintendent/President. During his tenure, he
oversaw the construction of a new central plant and
Child Development Center, and initiated the
development of a new learning center in Tracy. Horton,
the longest serving President to date, retired from the
College in 1999 after 13 years of service.
The millennium brought a new
Superintendent/President, Edward O. Gould, Ed.D, in
February 2000 to guide the College into the 21st
century. He had served as Vice Chancellor of Student
Services at the California Community College
Chancellor’s Office where he developed and
recommended policy for the state’s 107 colleges and 71
districts in the areas of student services and services to
special populations. He was also former
Superintendent/President of Victor Valley College and
Monterey Peninsula College.
Dr. Raúl Rodríguez joined Delta College in fall 2002 as
the next Superintendent/President. Under Dr.
Rodríguez, a $250 million bond initiative was passed by
the voters in 2004. The bond is being used to upgrade
and expand the Stockton campus, establish and extend
SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COLLEGE
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 7
education centers in the College's service area. In
2009, the College completed renovation of the outdoor
athletic facilities and completed construction of the
Lawrence and Alma DeRicco Student Services Building
which consolidated all student services functions
including the Offices of Admissions and Records,
Financial Aid and Veterans Services, Guidance and
Counseling, and Assessment Services under one roof.
The building serves as the students' gateway to Delta
College. In 2010, the College reopened the newly
renovated Goleman Library, a state-of-the-art learning
resources center. After eight years, Rodríguez left to
assume a new position as Chancellor of the Rancho
Santiago Community College District.
In the spring of 2011, after a national search, the Board
of Trustees named Dr. Jeff Marsee as the College's
ninth Superintendent/President. Dr. Marsee began
serving the College on May 1, 2011. He served until
February 2012 when Assistant Superintendent/Vice
President of Instruction, Dr. Kathleen Hart was
appointed Acting Superintendent/President. Eight
months later, in October 2012, she was permanently
appointed as the tenth Superintendent/President of the
College.
The fall of 2014 saw demolition of Cunningham Center
and the dedication of a new state of the art Science and
Mathematics facility. The new building includes a
Math/Science Learning Center, science labs,
classrooms, lecture halls, and faculty offices. The
Shima expansion project was also completed to house
the diesel/heavy equipment shops and classrooms. It
was dedicated in the spring of 2015.
Originally opened in 1994, the Delta College Child
Development Center was rededicated in the spring of
2016 in memory of longtime Dean and Career Technical
Education advocate, Dr. Hazel Hill. Dr. Hill was
instrumental in the development and construction of the
center and for many years worked tirelessly in support of
students pursing their educational goals. She had
served the College and community for over 35 years as
faculty, Division Chairperson, and Dean of Career
Technical Education.
Delta College is proud to serve an area that launched
California into world prominence, for the Mother Lode
era brought about the great western expansion.
About the College
Stockton Campus
Two key decisions were endorsed by the Board of
Trustees in the fall of 1968. Though the campus would
be one of the largest in California, the student population
would be divided into five instructional centers. The
design of each center included a central open courtyard,
snack bar, and study lounge. The goal was to
encourage students and faculty to develop activities
according to their own interests, creating a healthy
campus-wide diversity. The decision reflected the
philosophy that all knowledge, as with all work, is
worthwhile and not susceptible to “status.” Students
with greatly different backgrounds and career interests
from musicians to mechanicsmeet in the hallways,
lounges, and classrooms, and learn to respect each
other’s values.
A committee had initially recommended the names of
deceased, local historical figures who had made
significant contributions to education and the trustees
agreed. Cunningham Center and a portion of Budd
Center were the first buildings to open in 1973, with
classes in physical education, life science, public safety
and services, computer science, and printing.
Cunningham Center, named after Sheriff Thomas
Cunningham of the late 1800s, opened in June 1973.
The center included Clever Planetarium, the only
planetarium in San Joaquin Valley.
Holt Centernamed after Benjamin Holt, the developer
of the belt tread tractor which helped make large-scale
farming possible in this region’s peat soilopened in the
summer of 1974 and contained instruction in music,
machine technology, heating and air conditioning,
welding, and engineering. Today, the center houses the
only community college electron microscopy lab in the
nation.
Shima Center honors the memory of George Shima who
left Japan in the 1880s after failing his university
examinations and founded an agricultural empire on
land reclaimed from Delta bog. Shima Center, which
opened during the spring semester of 1975, offers
instruction in agriculture, natural resources,
broadcasting, visual arts, early childhood education,
business, and photography. The L.H. Horton, Jr. Art
Gallery provides exhibits and displays in creative artistry.
Budd and Locke Centers were completed in the fall of
1976, except for the vocational shops in Budd which had
opened in conjunction with Cunningham Center in 1973.
James Budd was the only Stocktonian to become
Governor of California. The center houses physical
education, athletics, and dance facilities, including the
3,000-seat Blanchard Gymnasium and June Fergusson
Pool.
Locke Center honors Dr. Dean Jewett Locke, founder of
Lockeford and the Lockeford School District. The center
includes instruction in nursing, business, and drama. It
includes Tillie Lewis Theatre as well as the 100-seat
Alfred H. Muller Studio Theatre, named in 2013 to honor
the highly-regarded former Professor of Drama.
Adjacent to Locke Center is Warren Atherton Auditorium
which seats over 1,400 guests and serves as a focal
point for arts in the region.
SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COLLEGE

Three other campus buildings also bear historical
names: Goleman Library is named after Dr. Irving
Goleman, a former Delta teacher and thinker who
believed no one was truly educated without experiencing
the liberal arts; Danner Hall honors Helen Danner,
Associate Dean of Students at Delta until her death in
1970. Danner Hall contains the Academic Computing
Center, main cafeteria, The Student Chef, a student-run
gourmet restaurant, and College Bookstore. The
perimeter roads connecting the different campus areas
are named in honor of Dr. Burke Bradley, Burke Bradley
Road in the south part of the campus and Burke Bradley
Drive in the north. Dr. Bradley was President of
Stockton College in 1956 and presided over the
separation of San Joaquin Delta College from the
Stockton Unified School District in 1963.
The first new building to be erected since the initial
campus construction of the 1970s was the Child
Development Center. Opened in 1994, during the
presidency of Dr. L.H. Horton, Jr., it provides students
and staff with a much needed place for child care and
also serves the instructional Child Development program
as a laboratory. The Delta College Child Development
Center was rededicated in spring of 2016 in memory of
longtime Dean and Career Technical Education
advocate, Dr. Hazel Hill. Dr. Hill was instrumental in the
development and construction of the center and for
many years worked tirelessly in support of students
pursing their educational goals. She had served the
College and community for over 35 years as faculty,
Division Chairperson, and Dean of Career Technical
Education.
The Center for Microscopy and Allied Sciences was
opened in fall of 2003 to house the long-established
program in Electron Microscopy. The only program of its
kind in the western United States, it trains technicians in
the preparation of materials and operation of various
electron microscopes.
Following the successful passage of a $250 million bond
measure in 2004, planning for improvements of the
Stockton Campus began. In 2009, the College
established the Lawrence and Alma DeRicco Student
Services Buildinga one-stop shop for critical student
services functionsto honor the former president for his
many years of service and commitment to San Joaquin
Delta College. Dr. DeRicco is considered one of the
"Founding Fathers" of the College. In addition, the
state-of-the-art, Olympic caliber Merv Smith Track
Complex was dedicated in early 2010 to honor the
former track coach and long-time faculty member.
Coach Smith led Delta teams to numerous
championships from 1970-1997. In 2010, the College
rededicated the newly refurbished Goleman Library,
followed by the dedication of the Bucky Layland Softball
Complex and Lee Belarmino Sr. District Data Center in
2011.
The spring of 2014 saw the opening of the College's
new Science and Mathematics building. The building
includes over 70,000 square feet of office, classroom,
and laboratory space wrapped around a central service
core with dry labs on the first floor, wet biology labs on
the second, and chemistry labs on the third. The
building is equipped with the latest equipment and
technology expected in a modern college science
facility. In addition, the College opened newly
remodeled diesel and heavy equipment technology
shops and classrooms in Shima Center. As the spring
semester moved forward, regular visitors to the campus
began to see Cunningham Center, the former science
and mathematics building beginning to be prepared for
demolition. By the end of 2014, the building had been
razed and a new open plaza area was developed.
Other improvements enabled by the Measure L Bond
program include the following: a new greenhouse;
restroom modernization and ADA compliance; a 40,000
square foot consolidated Data Center for information
technology services; safety and seating improvements in
the Tillie Lewis Theater and Atherton Auditorium; and
state-of-the-art facilities for student athletes and physical
education classes, including a world-class track facility,
new turf for the softball, baseball, and football fields, a
new soccer pitch, and improved parking facilities.
South Campus at Mountain House
South Campus at Mountain House (SCMH)
encompasses approximately 126 acres north of
Interstate 205 at the boundary of San Joaquin and
Alameda Counties. Located at the southwest corner of
Mountain House, the educational center is the result of a
decade of efforts to expand service offerings to Tracy,
Manteca, and South County students. Initial plans for
SCMH called for an initial build-out of 85,000 square
feet. The Board of Trustees postponed full-scale
development of a large educational facility and built 25
modular buildings that freed up bond money for other
projects on the Stockton campus and the future
purchase or lease of property in the District’s northern
region. The modular buildings have a useful shelf life of
only 20 years, and the District needs to provide a more
permanent structure that will serve the residents of the
region more effectively. SCMH has been targeted in the
educational master planning process to feature three
signature programs: renewable energy, computer
science, and engineering.
Manteca Center
Bordered by Highway 99 on the east and Lathrop Road
on the south, the Manteca Center features two portable
classrooms, a barn, and crop land that provide training
to students in agriculture, agribusiness, and animal
husbandry. With agriculture remaining one of the major
economic industries of the region, the Center’s
importance for local training cannot be overstated.
SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COLLEGE
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 9
Plans are underway to build a new barn, refurbish the
classroom building, and improve the security of the
campus with new fencing.
North County and Calaveras
In 2006, the District purchased a 140-acre parcel north
of Lodi, near Galt (Liberty Road and N. Lower
Sacramento Road parcels). District officials and
consultants have completed a due diligence review of
the site for use as an educational center. Delta has also
requested proposals for other sites in the North County
region that can accommodate 35,000 to 50,000 square
feet of instructional space. The District recognizes the
population growth within the region and its emerging
labor market needs and, thus, seeks to develop an
educational center in the North County area. The
District is also increasing its limited course offerings in
the Foothills region through collaboration with Calaveras
County’s local high school district and Columbia College.
Most of these students take courses online or commute
to the Stockton campus. However, limited courses can
be held in the evening in Calaveras Unified School
District classrooms and through new dual enrollment
opportunities.

Admission Regulations for College Early
Start Program
Students who are currently enrolled in high school and
are recommended by their principal (for college level
courses only) may be considered for the College Early
Start Program. The College Early Start Program allows
students to enroll in courses for college credit only.
Each school district must determine whether high school
credit will be granted for classes completed for college
credit at San Joaquin Delta College. All students must
meet San Joaquin Delta Colleges admissions,
academic assessment, and course prerequisite
requirements. College Early Start students may not
enroll in remedial or developmental education courses.
Registration is limited to 11.0 units maximum during a
regular semester.
The enrollment of high school students in physical
education classes is limited to five percent of all the
students enrolled. Therefore, high school students
should plan to enroll in physical education classes at
their respective high school. Only students officially
enrolled during the registration cycle, before classes
begin, will be allowed to attend physical education
classes. Under no circumstances will College Early
Start students be permitted to register for any physical
education course once the term begins.
In order to participate in the College Early Start
Program, students must complete the following steps:
1. Complete the online Application for Admission -
Applications may be completed online at
www.deltacollege.edu, by visiting the E-Services Lab
located on the first floor of the DeRicco Student
Services Building, Room 149, or at the South
Campus at Mountain House. Please check the
Delta College web site for hours of operation.
2. Complete a College Early Start Enrollment Form -
Students applying to attend Delta College through
the College Early Start Program (high school
students who are not graduates), must also provide
a College Early Start Enrollment Form at the time of
application. Signatures of the parent or legal
guardian and the high school principal are required.
Home-schooled students must also provide a current
Private School Affidavit. A College Early Start
Enrollment Form and accompanying documentation
is required for each term for which the student
intends to enroll. For counseling, financial aid and
course prerequisite purposes, it is highly
recommended that the student submit a high school
transcript.
ENROLLMENT RELATED SERVICES

3. Complete the Assessment Placement. This
assessment measures a student’s skill in reading,
English, and mathematics application and
computation. The test is not timed and takes
approximately 90 minutes to complete. A student
cannot fail the assessment. A “one-course waiver”
is available to students who decide to enroll in only
one course with no prerequisites. A student may
subsequently enroll in one course per term provided
the previous course to which the waiver applied was
passed with a grade of “C” or better. For more
information, please check the Delta College web
site.
4. Attend a New Student Group Advising session - All
new and prospective students are encouraged to
attend a New Student Group Advising session.
These sessions will provide students with the
following: general new student information, financial
aid information, campus resources, review of
assessment test and what the results mean,
registration information, and a first semester course
list. College Early Start students should work closely
with their high school counselor to select appropriate
courses (College level ONLY). A student who works
closely with the counselor can make significant
progress towards both a high school diploma and
college degree at the same time.
5. Register for Courses(s) - To view your registration
date and time, or to register for classes, use the
online registration system. To ensure that College
Early Start students do not displace regularly
admitted students, enrollment of students admitted
under this program is limited to the last day of
priority registration, unless the student is enrolled in
a middle college high school as described in
Education Code Section 11300.

Book Buy-Back
The Bookstore’s commitment to students is to buy back
as many books at the end of each semester as can
potentially be resold the following term, usually over
80% of book titles.
Students may sell back books any time, but the best
price is offered during the last week of the term for those
books that are needed the next immediate semester.
Books sold back at ANY OTHER TIME will be bought
back for a used book dealer and only at the “wholesale”
prices listed in the dealer's catalog.
· During the last week of each semester, the
Bookstore will pay up to 50% of the purchase price
on all copies NEEDED on campus for the following
semester regardless where purchased.
· Books bought back are then re-priced USED and
made available for the next semester at 75% of the
current new price.
· Discontinued books may still have a “wholesale”
value, if the edition is current. The Bookstore buys
these books for a USED BOOK company that resells
them to other schools. “Wholesale” values are
approximately 25% of the original new price.
The following are reasons the Bookstore may not buy
back certain titles:
· Faculty changes text for the following term;
· Publisher changes editions of text; or
· The Bookstore may be overstocked on a particular
title.

do not have any on-campus meetings) are referred to as
Online. The method of instruction to be used is noted in
the Schedule of Classes.
Most course offerings fall in the General Education
category but range from Administration of Justice to
Business, Child Development to Computer Science,
Horticulture to Social Science. Check the current
Schedule of Classes for exact online course offerings.
The schedule is available online at
www.deltacollege.edu.
Advanced computer skills are not required to enroll in
these courses, but students should be familiar with basic
operations such as email, copy-and-paste, attaching
files (to an email message, for example), using a word
processor, and how to navigate through the Web using a
Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Delta College promotes and ensures academic honesty
in online courses in several ways. Courses are held in
password protected online environments that provide the
instructor and students with tools to share information,
collaborate, discuss, and evaluate learning. Tools such
as Turnitin.com are used to teach online students to
value and practice academic honesty.
To increase the likelihood of a successful outcome,
prospective online students should ask themselves the
following questions before registering for an online
course:
1. Do I have good time management skills? Can I set
aside sufficient time each day to work on my online
course? Am I self-motivated? (If you need the
structure of a traditional course that meets on set
days and times, then perhaps online learning is not
for you.)
2. Do I have basic computer skills? Can I type
reasonably well? Do I know how to use my word
processing program? (If you're not clear on the
difference between email and Google, or don't know
how to copy-and-paste text between two documents,
then perhaps online learning is not for you.)
3. Do I have regular access to a reliable computer with
consistent connection to the Internet? (If you plan
on using only other people's computers, perhaps
online learning is not for you - yet.)
4. Do I learn well when reading course material, or do I
learn better when hearing material? Classroom
lectures, for example. (Online courses are
composed primarily of written material; if you have
difficulty with reading, or are more successful when
there is oral presentation, then perhaps online
learning is not for you.)
Here is a detailed questionnaire you may want to use to
evaluate your readiness for online education.

Crime Prevention & Crime Reporting
Crime Prevention
Crime Prevention is student and employee awareness of
their environment and a true collaboration between law
enforcement and the public. It is the willingness to look
out for one another and to report suspicious activities
immediately to the San Joaquin Delta College Police
Department. Students and employees must be aware of
their surroundings and develop a perception of what
seems out of place, or out of the ordinary. Do not take
chances, what may appear harmless could be serious.
Fortunately, the right attitude, actions and awareness
can help protect you and your belongings.
Education
One of the essential ingredients of any successful crime
prevention program is an informed public. It is the intent
of San Joaquin Delta College Police Department to
inform students and staff, in a timely manner, of any
criminal activity or security problems which may pose a
reasonable threat to their physical safety. Such
SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES
44 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
information will regularly be published and distributed to
students, faculty and staff through several campus
publications, in house memos or bulletins and electronic
mail. Another critical element of a campus safety
program is education. The Police Department, in
conjunction with the Student Activities Office and the
Department of Counseling, sponsor programs of various
topics. The Police Department's Crime Prevention
Officer is available to speak at public events regarding
crime prevention, or other topics as requested.
Safety Presentations
The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department
provides informative Safety Presentations to all
members of the Delta College community. The
presentations range in time from 30 minutes to 80
minutes and can be modified to address a specific topic.
Some of the most popular presentations we have done
are "Surviving an Active Shooter Event", "Police
Department Services", "Crime Prevention and
Awareness", and "Identity Theft". Presentations are
conducted year round upon request.
Crime Reporting
The San Joaquin Delta College Police Department
prides itself on being community oriented in its crime
prevention strategies. The most beneficial way of
preventing crime is through the tips and watchful eye of
an informed public. The following is how to report a
crime on campus:
1. Call the Police Department by using an Emergency
Blue Phone or any campus phone and dial 911 or
5000 or call 954-5000 by cellular phone or off
campus phone.
2. Provide the dispatcher with what happened, where
did it happen, and when did it happen
3. Provide the dispatcher with suspect information and
description
4. Advise if a weapon was used or displayed
5. Location of the suspect or direction of flight
6. Advise if the suspect drove a car or bicycle or was
on foot
7. Advise if there are any injuries
8. Stay on the phone until the dispatcher ends the call
It is extremely important that you give the dispatcher as
much information as possible. The Dispatcher relays all
of your information to the Police Officers who are "out in
the field" responding to your call. It is imperative for the
safety of the officers that you put as much detail into
your report as possible, so they know exactly what they
are responding to. Your assistance is always
appreciated. The information that you provide assists in
keeping San Joaquin Delta College a beautiful and safe
environment for all.
Lost and Found
San Joaquin Delta College Police Department
(209) 954-5000 (Voice/TDD)
Several hundred items of found property are turned in to
the Police Department each year, most of which are
never claimed by their rightful owners. Property that is
marked with a name, address, Delta ID number, phone
number, or driver’s license number can be returned to
the owner if found and turned in to the Police
Department. Owners of property with no identification
should check with the Police Department in case it has
been found.
Found property that is not claimed within ninety days will
be disposed of by the Police Department in accordance
with the law.
The Police Department is located on the north side of
campus, across the street from the Shima 1 parking lot
at the corner of District and Service Roads in the Lourn
Phelps Police Services Building. Any person who loses
property should check with the Police Department to see
if it has been recovered.
Found Property will be released to owners between 8:00
a.m. and 10:00 p.m., seven days a week.
Victims of Crime
Students who are victims of a crime, or witness a crime
being committed should contact the San Joaquin Delta
College Police Department as soon as possible. Time is
essential when a crime has been committed or
suspicious activity is occurring. The sooner the police
are notified, the quicker the response will be. Persons
who believe that a crime may be occurring, or who are
suspicious that something may be wrong, should contact
the Police Department immediately at (209) 954-5000
(Voice/TDD). The Police Department would rather
respond to an innocent situation than be notified after an
actual crime has been committed. Always be on the
safe side and call.
Lockouts

"Lock-out" services are available at no cost to vehicle
owners who are locked out of their vehicles while parked

Student Right to Know (SRTK)
Student Right-to-Know Rates for Fall 2013 Cohort
Completion Rate: 27.32 %
Transfer Rate: 7.70 %
In compliance with the Student-Right-to-Know and
Campus Security Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-542), it is
the policy of our college district to make available its
completion and transfer rates to all current and
prospective students. Beginning in Fall 2012, a cohort
of all certificate-, degree-, and transfer-seeking first-time,
full-time students were tracked over a three-year period.
Their completion and transfer rates are listed above.
These rates do not represent the success rates of the
entire student population at the College nor do they
account for student outcomes occurring after this three-
year tracking period.
Based upon the cohort defined above, a Completer is a
student who attained a certificate or degree or became
'transfer prepared' during a three-year period, from Fall
2012 to Spring 2015. Students who have completed 60
transferable units with a GPA of 2.0 or better are
considered 'transfer- prepared'. Students who
transferred to another post-secondary institution, prior to
attaining a degree, certificate, or becoming 'transfer-
prepared' during a five-semester period, from Spring
2013 to Spring 2015, are transfer students.
Campus Security
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy
and Campus Crime Statistics Act is the landmark federal
law, originally known as the Campus Security Act, which
requires colleges and universities across the United
States to disclose information about crime on and
around their campuses. Because the law is tied to
participation in federal student financial aid programs it
applies to most institutions of higher education both
public and private. It is enforced by the U.S. Department
of Education.
The "Clery Act" is named in memory of 19-year-old
Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Ann Clery who was
raped and murdered while asleep in her residence hall
room on April 5, 1986. Jeanne's parents, Connie and
Howard, discovered that students hadn't been told about
38 violent crimes on the Lehigh campus in the three
years before her murder. They joined with other campus
crime victims and persuaded Congress to enact this law,
which was originally known as the "Crime Awareness
and Campus Security Act of 1990."
The law was amended in 1992 to add a requirement that
schools afford the victims of campus sexual assault
certain basic rights, and was amended again in 1998 to
expand the reporting requirements. The 1998
amendments also formally named the law in memory of
Jeanne Clery. The law was most recently amended in
2000 to require schools beginning in 2003 to notify the
campus community about where public "Megan's Law"
information about registered sex offenders on campus
could be obtained.

Absences
Absences for medical reasons of less than one week
need not be reported to the College. Students who will
be absent from class for one week or longer for any
reason should notify the Counseling Center office. If
medical or personal emergency requires absence of as
much as two weeks, the student should notify the
Counseling Center office for review of the student’s
program and the advisability of continuing in classes.
Academic Dishonesty - Definition
Academic Dishonesty/Plagiarism: presenting work,
words, ideas, theories, etc., derived in whole or in part
from a source external to the student as though they are
the student’s own efforts. Examples of plagiarism
include, but are not limited to the following:
· Failing to use proper citations as acknowledgment of
the true source of information found in a paper,
written or oral examination, or any other academic
exercise.
· Presenting any work completed in whole or in part
by any individual or group other than the student, as
though the work is the student’s own, in any
academic exercise.
· Buying, selling, bartering, or in any other fashion
obtaining or distributing material to be used
fraudulently as part of any academic exercise.
· Disseminating or receiving answers, data, or other
information by any means other than those
expressly permitted by the professor as part of any
academic exercise.
· Copying answers, data, or other information (or
allowing others to do so) during an examination,
quiz, laboratory experiment, or any other academic
exercise in which the student is not expressly
permitted to work jointly with others.
· Assuming another individual’s identity or allowing
another person to do so on one’s own behalf for the
purpose of fulfilling any academic requirement or in
any way enhancing the student’s grade or academic
standing.
· Using any device, implement, or other form of study
aid during an examination, quiz, laboratory
experiment, or any other academic exercise without
the faculty member’s permission. (AP 5500,
03/8/11, 5/15/14).
Academic Freedom and Responsibility
The San Joaquin Delta College Board of Trustees
believes that faculty and students have the right to
pursue teaching and learning with full freedom of inquiry.
In order to assure that this viewpoint is understood by
all, the Board has adopted the following policy on
Academic Freedom and Responsibility
1. Academic freedom and academic responsibility are
inseparable. Academic freedom is the right of the
faculty member to interpret findings logically,
rationally, and dispassionately and to communicate
conclusions without being subjected to any
interference, molestation, or penalization because
these conclusions are at a variance with those of
constituted authorities or organized groups beyond
the College.
2. Likewise, the academic freedom of the student is the
freedom to express and to defend views or beliefs,
the freedom to question and differ, without
authoritative repression and without scholastic
penalization by the faculty or the College.
3. Academic freedom carries with it corresponding
responsibilities. Academic responsibility
emphasizes the obligation to study, to investigate, to
present and interpret, and to discuss facts and ideas
concerning man, human society, and the physical
and biological world in all branches and fields of
knowledge. Since human knowledge is limited and
changeable, the instructor will acknowledge the facts
on which controversial views are based and show
respect for opinions held by others. While striving to
avoid bias, the instructor will, nevertheless, present
the conclusions to which he or she believes the
evidence points.
4. To ensure for San Joaquin Delta College these
principles of academic freedom, the administration of
the College and the Board as the governing body of
the District, will at all times demonstrate their support
by actively and openly working toward a climate
which will foster this freedom. Such participation will
extend to the point of defending and supporting any
faculty member who, while maintaining the high
standards of his profession, finds his or her freedom
of expression attacked or curtailed. (Policy 6620,
1/21/69)
Academic Renewal
The purpose of academic renewal is to disregard
students' previously recorded substandard academic
performance, when such work does not reflect their
current demonstrated ability. Academic renewal
encourages students to continue efforts toward their
educational objectives. Therefore, academic renewal
allows students the benefits of their current level of
ability and performance, and does not permanently
penalize them for poor performance in the past.
Students who wish to request academic renewal must
petition the Director of Admissions and Records.
Academic renewal will be applied only under the
following conditions and with the following limitations:
A. Academic renewal may be requested for up to five
courses of previous unsatisfactory course work in
which grades of "D," "F," or "NC" or "NP" have been
recorded. The course work for which the renewal is
requested must be identified in the application.
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 53
B. Prior to the application for academic renewal, a
period of at least one year must have elapsed
subsequent to the semesters for which renewal is
requested, during which period the student must
have completed at least 12 units at Delta College (or
another regionally accredited college,) with a grade
point average of 2.0.
C. Academic renewal is available only for courses
taken at San Joaquin Delta College.
D. Academic renewal may be granted for a total of five
courses only.
E. Academic renewal is irreversible.
F. Courses used for awarding of a degree or certificate
are not eligible for academic renewal unless another
equivalent course replaces the renewed course on
the evaluation.
It is highly recommended that currently enrolled students
discuss educational objectives with a counselor and
develop an appropriate Student Education Plan.
Academic renewal granted by San Joaquin Delta
College does not guarantee that special programs or
other institutions will approve or honor such actions.
The determination will be made by the respective
transfer institutions.
Effect of Academic Renewal on the Academic Record
A. When a student is granted academic renewal for a
course, the student's permanent academic record
shall be annotated in such a manner that all work
remains legible, ensuring a complete and true record
of all academic work.
B. Cumulative grade point average on students’
permanent record excludes all course work that has
been approved for academic renewal.
C. No course work approved for academic renewal will
apply toward graduation, certificate, or AA degree.
D. Grade point average computation for graduation with
honors and other awards uses all work including
course work approved for academic renewal.

Absence from Class
A student who will be absent from any class or classes
for three (3) days or longer for health reasons or other
personal emergencies are advised to notify the Office of
Counseling and Special Services.
If a student knows of a disability-related absence in
advance (e.g., previously unanticipated surgery), the
student is strongly encouraged to notify the class
instructors and Disability Support Programs and
Services (DSPS) prior to the absence.
A student may be dropped from a class due to excessive
absences. If the excessive absences are disability-
related (e.g. surgery, other treatment, an injury, or an
illness that is related to a disability or results in a
disability) and the student intends to remain registered
for the class, the student may meet promptly with a
Disability Support Programs and Services (DSPS)
Counselor to request assistance to remain registered for
the class.
A student requesting DSPS assistance for disability-
related absences is not required to be registered with
DSPS prior to requesting such assistance. However,
DSPS is authorized to determine whether a student
making a request due to disability-related absences
qualifies as an individual with a disability at the time of
the request. If the individual is not disabled and/or the
absences are not disability-related, the College is not
required to accommodate the student beyond the legal
requirements of Section 504 and Title II.
If the student does not agree with DSPS and the
professor’s decision, the student may file a grievance
(See BP/AP 5530 Student Rights and Grievances).
BP/AP 5075, 2/19/13,12/13/12 and 4/20/17
Adding a Course
Students may add courses online through the
registration period.
(AP 5075, 12/13/12, 4/27/17).
Associate Degree Honors
Students receiving the Associate in Arts or Associate in
Science degree are eligible for scholastic honors based
on the cumulative grade point average at the end of the
semester in which the student applied and was
approved for graduation. Units and grade points from
transferable courses taken at colleges other than San
Joaquin Delta College will be included in computing the
final grade point average for honors determination.
Honors at graduation are denoted on the diploma and
transcripts as follows:
· 4.00 Highest Honors
· 3.70 3.99 High Honors
· 3.30 3.69 Honors
· 3.00 3.29 Honorable Mention
Attendance Regulation
Regular attendance is necessary for satisfactory
academic progress. Attendance in class and laboratory
sessions is an obligation assumed by every student at
the time of registration. Under no circumstances will a
student be allowed to attend a class if he/she is not
officially enrolled. Any student who fails to attend a
class during the first three sessions may be dropped
unless the student has advised and obtained an
absence approval from the instructor. An instructor may
drop a student from class when absences become
excessive. Excessive absenteeism is defined as one
more absence than the class meets per week. See the
Student Handbook for procedures concerning
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

attendance irregularities. (BP/AP 5075, 12/2012, 2/13,
12/13/12, and 4/27/17)
Catalog Rights
A student may choose to apply for a degree or certificate
under either the completion requirements in effect at the
time of application for graduation or the graduation
requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment at
the college, provided continuous enrollment is
maintained.
Continuous enrollment is the earning of college credit in
at least one semester or summer intersession during an
academic year without interruption of progress. To
retain catalog rights for graduation under the year of
initial enrollment, a student is required to maintain
continuous enrollment through the completion of the
requirements for graduation. An academic year begins
with the summer intersession and includes the following
fall and spring semesters.
An emergency leave of absence for a term may be
granted in those instances where it is warranted.
Leaves of absence must be requested and approved in
advance of the term for which absence is anticipated.
Leaves of absence must be approved by the Vice
President of Student Services. (AP 4100, 2/24/09)
The College reserves the right to change program
requirements based upon legal mandate and/or
accreditation standards at any time.
Change of Address
Students must report a change of address immediately
to the Admissions and Records Office. The College
assumes no responsibility for mail sent to an incorrect
address as a result of the student’s failure to report a
change of address. Any change in a student's name as
a result of marriage or court action should be reported to
the Admissions and Records Office. Appropriate
documentation; court order, marriage license, etc. must
be provided. Students may check the address on file by
logging in to Online Registration and selecting the
"Records" tab at the top of the page. If the information
listed is incorrect, students should submit a "Change of
Information Form," which is available online, to the
Admissions and Records Office.
Classification of Student
· Freshman - a regularly admitted student who has
completed fewer than 30 units.
· Sophomore - a regularly admitted student who has
completed 30 units but fewer than 60.
Continuous Enrollment
Continuous enrollment is the earning of college credit in
a least one semester during an academic year without
interruption of progression. To retain catalog rights for
graduation under the year of initial enrollment, a student
is required to maintain continuous enrollment through
the completion of the requirements for graduation.
Emergency leave of absence for a term may be granted
in those instances where an absence is warranted.
Leaves of absence must be requested and approved in
advance of the term the leave is taken. Leaves of
absence must be approved by the Vice President of
Student Services. (AP 4100, 2/24/09)
Course Audit
It is the policy of San Joaquin Delta College that
students be permitted to audit courses only in order to
address specific or unusual educational circumstances.
Information regarding course audit may be obtained in
the Office of Admissions and Records. (Policy 5201,
1/20/98, 10/19/99)
Course Repetition
Substandard Grade
A. Any course in which a grade of “D” or “F” has been
received may be repeated once in order to attempt
to raise the grade and grade points. The better
grade and grade points earned will be counted in
computing the grade point average as if it were
another new course. Units attempted, grade, and
grade points of the substandard grade will be
removed from the totals for the semester in which it
was earned, but the course will remain listed on the
student’s permanent record with the appropriate
notations. In no case will duplicate units be allowed
toward graduation. A course must be repeated
before the next advanced course to which it is a
prerequisite is attempted.
B. Any course in which a student has received a grade
of “No Credit” or “No Pass” may be repeated once in
order to attempt to raise the grade to “Credit” or
“Pass” (or to a letter grade of “A, B, C, D, or F,”
provided the course permits this option). If the
student receives the “Credit” or “Pass” grade, units
will be awarded. If the student receives a letter
grade of “A, B, C, or D,” units and grade points will
be awarded.
C. The limitations above notwithstanding, a student
may petition Director of Admissions and Records for
permission to repeat a course more than once to
address a substandard grade with the following
limitations:
D. Student is allowed no more than three enrollments
that result in grading symbols of “D,” “F,” “NC,” “NP,”
and “W.”
E. Students who are allowed to enroll for the third time
are not allowed to drop the class on or after the
census datethey are required to receive a grade.
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 55
F. Students must request permission from the
instructor to add the course once classes have
begun.
G. Student must provide the instructor with a copy of
the petition to repeat the approved class.
H. Student is allowed to enroll only after all other credit-
seeking students have been added to the class.
I. Students are required to seek support services such
as tutoring, counseling, etc., as determined by the
College Counselor.
J. Students, who have exceeded the number of
repetitions allowed under this procedure and wish to
repeat a class, shall not be allowed to re-enroll in the
course at Delta College.
K. The District will not collect apportionment for
enrollment in a class after a total of three repetitions
resulting in “W”s, grades, or other non-evaluative
symbols.
Significant Lapse of Time
A student may petition the Director of Admission and
Records for permission to repeat a course when another
institution of higher education to which the student seeks
transfer has established a recency requirement which
the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating
the class.
A. If the Director of Admissions and Records
determines that a student needs to repeat an active
participatory experience course, as defined in Title 5
Section 55000, in physical education, or visual or
performing arts, or an active participatory course that
is related in content due to significant lapse of time,
that repetition shall be counted in applying the limit
set forth in Title 5 Section 55000 (c) except that, if
the student has already exhausted the number of
repetitions permitted under subdivision (c), and
additional repetition due to significant lapse of time
may be permitted or required by the District.
B. When a course is repeated pursuant to a significant
lapse of time, the previous grade and credit in
computing the student’s grade point average will be
disregarded. (BP/AP 4220.1, 8/13/02, 5/22/12,
10/24/13, 12/17/13 )
Course Substitution
Course substitution for associate degrees for transfer is
limited to students transferring from another accredited
institution that has an aligned degree in the same
discipline. In this circumstance, the student may petition
to use courses taken at the sending institution to satisfy
the District’s degree requirements. A course that does
not appear on the District list, but satisfies the same
aligned degree at the sending institution may be
substituted. (AP 4042, 2/14/12)
Credit by Examination (CBE)
The purpose of credit by examination is to recognize a
student’s experience(s) and knowledge base for which
credit or advanced standing has not been previously
granted. Credit may be earned by a student who
satisfactorily passes authorized examinations.
1. Credit may be granted to any student who
satisfactorily passes an examination approved and
conducted by appropriate authorities of the College.
2. CBE may be granted only for a course listed in the
current College Catalog. Each division shall
maintain a list of courses which may be challenged
for CBE.
3. The student's academic record shall be clearly
annotated to reflect that credit was earned by
examination.
4. CBE courses must be awarded a letter grade (A, B,
C, D, or F), except for courses that are offered only
as a credit/no credit grading option.
5. Units for which credit is given by examination shall
not be counted in determining residency required for
the associate degree or certificate.
6. A student may not receive credit for a CBE if the
student has already completed a more advanced
course in the same subject matter.
7. CBE may not be considered part of the student's
program for enrollment verification purposes.
8. A student may not earn more than 12 semester units
of academic credit by examination.
9. CBE is not offered during the summer intersession.
The student will initiate a petition no later than the fourth
week of the semester to challenge for CBE. The Office
of Admissions and Records will verify that the student
meets the eligibility criteria. The student must provide
written evidence, i.e., transcripts, letters of
recommendation, etc., that substantiates the knowledge
base or experience that the student has which warrants
approving the petition to challenge the course. The
student will consult with a Counselor to determine if CBE
will assist the student in meeting educational goals. (AP
4235, 5/10/05)
Credit for Advanced Placement
Examinations
A. San Joaquin Delta College will recognize advanced
placement validated by Advanced Placement (AP)
Examinations.
B. Results from an AP examination and an application
for credit must be submitted to the Registrar before
credit is awarded.
C. Academic Credit may be awarded to satisfy
completion of general education areas based on
attainment of required scores. In some cases
attainment of required scores may be used to meet
specific course requirements and/or prerequisites for
courses offered by San Joaquin Delta College,
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
56 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
subject to the restrictions outlined below. The listing
of course equivalencies will be established by the
Assistant Superintendent/Vice President in
conjunction with the appropriate faculty discipline
group, Curriculum Committee, and Academic
Senate. A listing of course equivalencies will be
published annually which identifies the AP
Examination, Required Score, SJDC Equivalent
Course, Units Awarded, SJDC General Education
Area, CSU General Education Area, and IGETC
General Education Area.
1. AP examinations in which a minimum score of
three (3) or higher has been achieved are
eligible for advanced placement course credit.
2. AP examination credit may not be used to meet
specific course requirements or prerequisites
within a student’s major. Students requesting
AP credit to meet specific course requirements
or prerequisites within their selected major must
submit a petition to the Director of Admissions
and Records that is approved by a College
Counselor.
College counselors will make the student aware of
transfer issues that may occur as a. (AP 4235.1,
5/11/11).
Credit for Military Experience
To request an evaluation of military experience, a copy
of the veteran’s separation document (DD-214) and
copies of any other certificates documenting special
service schools must be filed with the Office of Financial
Aid and Veterans Services. Credit granted for schools is
based upon recommendations of the American Council
on Education in the Guide to the Evaluation of Education
Experiences in the Armed Services. In order to qualify
for evaluation the school must have been given on a
formal, full-time basis (not a correspondence course,
with the exception of certain high-level, non-resident
courses). To be granted credit for work completed at
another institution, the student should request that
official copies of all prior college transcripts be mailed to
the Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Services at San
Joaquin Delta College. Students may receive a
maximum of 20.0 elective units.
Distance Education
Definition of Distance Education
Distance Education: Instruction in which the instructor
and student are separated by distance and interact
through the assistance of communication technology.
A. Online Courses: The predominant means of
distance education delivery. Students are not
required to physically visit the campus.
B. Hybrid Courses: Instruction in which the required
number of instructional hours are divided between
online coursework and mandated on-ground
instructional activities. Students are required to
physically visit the campus.
C. For clarification, web-enhanced courses are face-to-
face courses that require the student to access the
internet and/or a learning management system as
part of the coursework, but online activities do not
replace scheduled classroom seat time. Therefore,
web-enhanced courses do not constitute distance
education.
Course Quality
A. All courses to be taught utilizing distance education
shall contain the same content, rigor, and course
quality as traditional courses as outlined in the
policies for the SJDC Curriculum Committee
curriculum approval process. As such, all distance
education is subject to the general requirements of
AP 4020, Curriculum Development Process (Credit,
Noncredit, and Not-for-Credit), et al, and must be
offered in compliance with the District's Distance
Education Plan (DE Plan).
B. As distinct from correspondence courses, all
distance education courses are required to maintain
regular effective substantive contact between the
professor and students, in accordance with Title V.
Regular effective substantive contact is defined as
professor-initiated interaction and responsive
interaction by the professor to students.
C. Documentation of distance education specifications
will be reviewed whenever the course comes up for
regular curricular review. The Distance Education
Committee Chair and designees will participate in
the curricular review of distance education courses.
District Responsibilities
In order to assure that distance education is
characterized by the same quality, integrity,
effectiveness, and concern for student learning that
apply to more traditional modes of instruction, the
District shall integrate distance education into the normal
program review process in all areas of the College with a
focus of maintaining services to students in distance
education courses, including, but not limited to:
A. Library and Learning Resources
B. College Support Services for Students
C. Facilities and Finances
Federal Accessibility Guidelines
Whether students with disabilities are enrolled in them or
not, the College shall abide by federal accessibility
guidelines in accordance with Government Code Section
508 and the Americans with Disabilities Act for all
distance education courses.
Distance Education Faculty Training
Regardless of the Learning Management System (LMS)
used, distance education faculty must successfully
complete approve training for online instructors through
the Professional Development Center before teaching
online. Approved, training will include best practices in
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 57
regular contact, accessibility, and effective online course
design and other aspects.
Verification of Student Identity
A. In accordance with Title 34 CFR § 602.17, the
District requires verification of the identity of a
student who participates in class or coursework by
using the following methods:
1. A secure login and pass code;
2. Proctored examinations; or
3. New or other technologies and practices that are
effective in verifying student identity; and,
4. Authentication that the online student who
registers is the same as the participant
B. Makes clear in writing that the District uses
processes that protect student privacy and notifies
students of any projected additional charges
associated with the verification of student identity at
the time of registration, enrollment, or the Catalog.
Learning Management System (LMS)
The primary LMS used by the District cannot be
changed without consulting the Distance Education
Committee.
The primary LMS adopted by the District must be used
as the initial access point (student portal) for all distance
education courses and programs. This does not
preclude the use of other LMSs so long as access by
authorized administrative personnel is made available.
Measuring the Last Date of Attendance in Distance
course
Effective July 2011, the U.S. Department of Education
has defined "Last Date of Attendance" as an
academically-related activity that is documented. Title
34 CFR § 668.22(c)(3)(i).
For distance education courses, an "academically-
related activity" includes but is not limited to: a quiz, test
or assignment submission, meaningful participation in an
online discussion, and student initiation of contact with
the instructor to ask a course-related question via email
or chat. Title 34 C.F.R. § 668.22(c)(3)(ii)
The Last Date of Attendance is not defined as the last
date of course log in, and is not the same as the drop
date.
For the purposes of the procedure, information on the
matter can be found in the current Distance Education
Plan. (BP/AP 4115 5/20/14, 3/6/14; Renumbered 5/16)
(BP/AP 4110 2/12/15)
Drug-Free Campus
The District shall be free from all drugs and from the
unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs
and alcohol by students and employees.
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing,
possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited
in all facilities under the control and use of the District.
Any student or employee who violates this policy will be
subject to disciplinary action (consistent with local, state,
or federal law), which may include referral to an
appropriate rehabilitation program, suspension,
demotion, expulsion or dismissal.
The Superintendent/President shall assure that the
District distributes annually to each student and
employee the information required by the Drug-Free
Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 and
complies with other requirements of the Act. (BP 3550,
9/8/09)
Educational Privacy Rights of Students
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Section
438, Public Law 93-380), as amended, requires
educational institutions to provide: student access to
official educational records directly related to the
student; explanation of educational records and an
opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records on
the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or
otherwise inappropriate; that the College must obtain the
written consent of the student before releasing
personally identifiable information about the student
other than to a list of persons and agencies specified by
the Act; and that these rights extend to present and
former students of the College. The act provides that
the College may release certain types of directory
information, unless the student submits a request in
writing to the Admissions and Records Office that certain
or all such information shall not be released without the
student’s consent.
Directory information at Delta College includes the
student’s name, address, date and place of birth, major
field of study, participation in officially recognized
activities and sports, weight and height of members of
athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees and awards
received, and the most recent previous educational
agency or institution attended by the student. The
student may also need his/her parents’ consent before
financial aid statements on file can be released to the
student. The student should confer first with the
Admissions and Records Office regarding any inquiries
of the student’s educational records.
Final Examinations
Instructors shall administer a final examination for each
class. Exemptions to this policy may be authorized only
by the Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of
Instruction. The final examinations should be
appropriate to the nature of the course as indicated in
the course information sheet on file with the Assistant
Superintendent/Vice President for Instruction.
Finals shall be given in accordance with the adopted
academic calendar distributed by the Assistant
Superintendent/Vice President of Instruction. (BP 4200,
12/1/09)

Grade Changes to Academic Record
The instructor of a course shall determine the grade to
be awarded to each student. The determination of the
student’s grade by the instructor is final in the absence
of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetency.
Students who believe that an error was made in a grade
entered on their permanent record may petition the
Director of Admissions and Records to correct the
record. Petitions for a grade change must be filed no
later than one (1) year after the term for which the grade
was posted and will be made only after the assigning
instructor determines the validity of such a petition and
issues a written authorization for the grade change.
Grades will not be changed for courses completed more
than one (1) year prior to the date of a petition except as
noted in paragraph “C” below.
In cases of alleged instructor fraud, bad faith or
incompetence, the final determination regarding the
removal or change of a grade or adjustment of fees will
be made by the Superintendent/President or designee
as set forth by Administrative Procedure 5530, (Student
Rights and Grievances).
Only one grade change petition per course is allowed.
Students who believe that an error was made in
enrollment, non-resident, or class fees charged against
their student account based on last date of attendance
may petition the Director of Admissions and Records to
correct the record. Petitions for a removal of fees must
be filed no later than one (1) year after the term for
which the fees were charged and will only be made after
the instructor of record determines the validity of such a

Grading Option - Pass/No Pass
Some credit courses may be approved by the
Curriculum Committee and listed in the College Catalog
and Schedule of Classes as offered with a Pass/No
Pass option. Under the Pass/No Pass option, a student
enrolled in a course that normally awards traditional
grades (A, B, C, D, or F) may elect to receive only a
grade of either "Pass" or “No Pass.” The grade of "Pass"
will be given if the student’s work is judged to be
equivalent to the grade of A, B, or C, and the grade of
“No Pass” if it is judged equivalent to a D or F.
Students may elect the Pass/No Pass option for only
one course per semester except in cases where
Pass/No Pass is the only grading option available for
courses in which the student enrolls. No more than 15
units of Pass/No Pass may apply to the total units
required for a degree. A course taken using the
Pass/No Pass grading option may not be applied to
satisfy an academic major requirement.
Students desiring to apply the Pass/No Pass grading
option to a course are required to declare commitment to
the Pass/No Pass status to the instructor prior to
completion of 30% of the scheduled class meeting for
the term. Once elected by the student, the Pass/No
Pass grade option may not be changed back to the
traditional grading option. (AP 4230.1, 4/1/09)
Graduation Information
The last day to file an application for summer, fall, or
spring graduation is indicated on the Registration
Calendar for each term. Students may apply for
degrees at the beginning of the term during which the
requirements will be completed. Degrees will be
awarded at the conclusion of the summer, fall, or spring
term. Graduates from summer and fall and candidates
for graduation for spring are eligible to participate in the
annual commencement ceremony which is held at the
conclusion of the spring semester. Information about
the annual commencement ceremony may be found on

The honor designation for fall and spring graduates is
computed using the cumulative grade point average at
the end of the previous Fall semester and includes all
A.A./A.S. applicable course work, including work from
other colleges. A student with a cumulative grade point
average from 3.00 - 4.00 will be denoted by an asterisk
(*) following his or her name in the program. Graduates
with cumulative grade point averages below 3.00 receive
a black tassel.
Program Review
The Program Review process at San Joaquin Delta
College has two primary purposes: to maintain, improve,
and promote the quality of instruction at the College and
to utilize the institution's resources effectively and
efficiently. Baseline data collected through program
review is used for self-examination for accreditation,
assessment of student learning outcomes, and to
enhance specific programs and service delivery. The
process also serves to integrate program review
recommendations with annual budget development for
consideration by the College’s Planning and Budget
Committee and administration.
Each Administrative Services department/unit,
Instructional program, and Student Services
department/unit will complete a program review every
two years. (BP/AP 4015, Program Review

Military Withdrawal
Residence Determinations for Military Personnel and
Dependents
A student who is a member of the armed forces of the
United States stationed in California on active duty,
except a member of the armed forces assigned for
educational purposes to a state-supported institution of
higher education, is entitled to resident classification.
Such students shall retain resident classification in the
event that the member of the armed forces is thereafter
transferred on military orders to a place outside of
California or thereafter retires from active duty, so long
as the student remains continuously enrolled in the
District.
A student who is a natural or adopted child, stepchild, or
spouse who is a dependent of a member of the armed
forces of the United States stationed in this state on
active duty shall be entitled to resident classification.
Such student shall retain resident classification if he/she
is thereafter transferred on military orders to a place
outside of California, so long as the student remains
continuously enrolled in the District.
A student who was a member of the armed forces of the
United States stationed in California on active duty for
more than one year immediately prior to being
discharged from the armed forces is entitled to resident
classification for the length of time he or she lives in
California after being discharged up to the minimum
necessary to become a resident.
A parent who is a federal civil service employee and his
or her natural or adopted dependent children are entitled
to resident classification if the parent has moved to this
state as a result of a military mission realignment action

continuously attends an institution of public higher
education.
A student claiming the residence classifications provided
for in this procedure must provide a statement from the
student’s commanding officer or personnel officer
providing evidence of the date of the assignment to
California, and that the assignment to active duty in
California is not for educational purposes. A student

Withdrawal Policies for Members of the Military
A student who is a member of an active or reserve
United States military service and who receives orders
compelling a withdrawal from courses shall be permitted
to withdraw upon verification of such orders. A
withdrawal symbol of “MW” may be assigned. Military
withdrawal shall not be counted in progress probation,
dismissal calculations, or in calculating the permitted
number of withdrawals. In no case may a college
require a student who is required to report for military
duty to withdraw from a course by a specified date in
order to receive a full refund of the tuition and fees the
student paid to the college for the academic term in
which the student was required to report for military
service. (AP 5013, 02/28/13 )
Non-Discrimination and Harassment Policy

of the foregoing characteristics, or based on association
with a person or group with one or more of these actual
or perceived characteristics.
The Superintendent/President shall establish
administrative procedures that ensure all members of
the college community can present complaints regarding
alleged violations of this policy and have their complaints
heard in accordance with the Title 5 regulations (See AP
3435 and 3435.1) and those of other agencies that
administer state and federal laws regarding
nondiscrimination.
The District is to conduct training programs on cultural
awareness and equal employment opportunity, disability
awareness, and gender equity for managers, faculty,
and staff. Staff involved in employment selection
procedures are to be oriented by the Director of Human
Resources as to the Board’s Equal Employment
Opportunity Policy.
The District also assures that the working conditions of
all employees will include freedom from discrimination or
harassment, and that each employee will have equal
access to promotional, transfer, and
training/development opportunities. The Chief Human
Resources Officer will monitor District policies and
practices for evidence of discrimination or harassment.
The District will take whatever steps are needed to
prevent discriminatory conditions from occurring.
Reasonable accommodation will be made by the District
to enable applicants with disabilities to apply for jobs and

work and in achieving promotion.
No District funds shall ever be used for membership, or
for any participation involving financial payment or
contribution on behalf of the District or any individual
employed by or associated with it, to any private
organization whose membership practices are
discriminatory on the basis of national origin, religion,
religious creed, age, gender, gender identity, gender
expression, race or ethnicity, color, medical condition,
genetic information, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital
status, physical or mental disability, pregnancy, military
and veteran status, or any other legally protected class,

Open Enrollment Access Policy
It is the policy of the San Joaquin Delta Community
College District that, unless specifically exempted by
statute, every course, course section, or class, the Full-
Time Equivalent Student (FTES) enrollment of which is
to be reported for state apportionment, and wherever
offered and maintained by the District, shall be fully open
to enrollment for participation by any person who has
been admitted to the College and who meets such
prerequisites as may be established pursuant to Chapter
II, Division 2, Part VI, Title 5 of the California
Administrative Code, commencing with Section 51820.
It is further the policy of the District that where health,
safety, legal requirements, or the facility is a limiting
factor in the conduct of a course/program, fair and
equitable admission requirements and procedures will
be established to meet such limitation.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites, co-requisites, advisories, and limitations
are necessary to ensure that students succeed in their
coursework and have access to the courses they
require. It is important to have prerequisites in place
where they are a vital factor in maintaining academic
standards. It is also necessary to ensure that
prerequisites, co-requisites, advisories, and limitations
do not constitute unjustifiable obstacles to student
access and success. Therefore, to foster the
appropriate balance between these two concerns, the
Education Code requires that prerequisites, co-
requisites, advisories, and limitations be established
based solely on content review or content review with
statistical validation.
Information in the College Catalog, Schedule of Classes,
and Student Handbook
The District shall provide the following explanations in
the College Catalog, Schedule of Classes, and Student
Handbook:
A. Definitions of prerequisites, co-requisites, and
limitations on enrollment including the differences
among them and the specific prerequisites, co-
requisites, and limitations on enrollment that have
been established.
B. Procedures for a student to challenge prerequisites,
co-requisites, and limitations on enrollment and
circumstances under which a student is encouraged
to make such a challenge. The information about
challenges must include, at a minimum, the specific
process including any deadlines, the various types of
challenge that are established in law, and any
additional types of challenge permitted by the
District.
C. Definitions of advisories on recommended
preparation, the right of a student to choose to take
a course without meeting the advisory, and
circumstances under which a student is encouraged
to exercise that right.
D. Definitions of contract course, co-requisite, noncredit
basic skills course, non-degree-applicable basic
skills courses, prerequisite and satisfactory grade.
Challenge Process
A. Any student who does not meet a prerequisite or co-
requisite or who is not permitted to enroll due to a
limitation on enrollment but who provides
satisfactory evidence may seek entry into the course
as follows:
1. If space is available in a course when a student
files a challenge to the prerequisite or co-
requisite, the District shall reserve a seat for the
student and resolve the challenge within five (5)
working days. If the challenge is upheld or the
District fails to resolve the challenge within the
five (5) working-day period, the student shall be
allowed to enroll in the course.
2. If no space is available in the course when a
challenge is filed, the challenge shall be resolved
prior to the beginning of registration for the next
term and, if the challenge is upheld, the student
shall be permitted to enroll if space is available
when the students registers for that subsequent
term.
3. The determination of whether a student meets a
prerequisite shall be made prior to his or her
enrollment in the course requiring the
prerequisite, provided, however, that enrollment
may be permitted pending verification that the
student has met the prerequisite or corequisite.
If the verification shows that the student has
failed to meet the prerequisite, the student may
be involuntarily dropped from the course. If the
student is dropped, the applicable enrollment
fees shall be promptly refunded.
4. The determination of whether a student meets a
prerequisite shall be based on successful
completion of an appropriate course or on an
assessment using multiple measures, as
required by section Title 5 Section 55521(a)(3).
Any assessment instrument shall be selected
and used in accordance with the provisions of
subchapter 6 (commencing with Title 5 Section
55500).
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

5. No exit test may be required to satisfy a
prerequisite or co-requisite unless it is
incorporated into the grading for the prerequisite
or co-requisite course.
B. Grounds for challenge shall include the following:
1. Those grounds for challenge specified in Title 5
Section 55201(f).
2. The student seeks to enroll and has not been
allowed to enroll due to a limitation on enrollment
established for a course that involves
intercollegiate competition or public
performance, or one or more of the courses for
which enrollment has been limited to a cohort of
students. The student shall be allowed to enroll
in such a course if otherwise he or she would be
delayed by a semester or more in attaining the
degree or certificate specified in his or her
educational plan.
3. The student seeks to enroll in a course that has
a prerequisite established to protect health and
safety, and the student demonstrates that he/she
does not pose a threat to himself/herself or
others.
4. The student has the obligation to provide
satisfactory evidence that the challenge should
be upheld. However, where facts essential to a
determination of whether the student's challenge
should be upheld are or ought to be in the
District’s own records, then the District’s has the
obligation to produce that information.
Curriculum Review Process
The curriculum review process shall at a minimum be in
accordance with all of the following:
A. Establish a Curriculum Committee and its
membership in a manner that is mutually agreeable
to the college administration and the academic
senate.
B. Establish prerequisites, co-requisites, and advisories
on recommended preparation (advisories) only upon
the recommendation of the academic senate except
that the academic senate may delegate this task to
the Curriculum Committee without forfeiting its rights
or responsibilities under Title 5 Sections 53200-
53204 and within the limits set forth in Title 5 Section
55003. Certain limitations on enrollment must be
established in the same manner.
C. Establish prerequisites, co-requisites, advisories on
recommended preparation, and limitations on
enrollment only if:
1. The faculty in the discipline or, if the college has
no faculty member in the discipline, the faculty in
the department do all of the following:
a. Approve the course; and,
b. As a separate action, approve any prerequisite
or co-requisite, only if:
The prerequisite or co-requisite is an appropriate
and rational measure of a student's readiness to
enter the course or program as demonstrated by
a content review including, at a minimum, all of
the following:
i. involvement of faculty with appropriate
expertise;
ii. consideration of course objectives set by
relevant department(s). The curriculum review
process should be done in a manner that is in
accordance with accreditation standards.
iii. be based on a detailed course syllabus and
outline of record, tests, related instructional
materials, course format, type and number of
examinations, and grading criteria;
iv. specification of the body of knowledge and/or
skills which are deemed necessary at entry
and/or concurrent with enrollment;
v. identification and review of the prerequisite or
co-requisite which develops the body of
knowledge and/or measures skills identified
under
vi. matching of the knowledge and skills in the
targeted course (identified under iv.) and those
developed or measured by the prerequisite or
co-requisite (i.e., the course or assessment
identified under v.); and
vii. maintain documentation that the above steps
were taken.
c. Approve any limitation on enrollment that is
being established for an honors course or
section, for a course that includes intercollegiate
competition or public performance, or so that a
cohort of students will be enrolled in two or more
courses, and, in a separate action, specify
which.
d. Approve that the course meets the academic
standards required for degree applicable
courses, non-degree applicable courses, non-
credit courses, or community service
respectively.
e. Review the course outline to determine if a
student would be highly unlikely to receive a
satisfactory grade unless the student had
knowledge or skills not taught in the course. If
the student would need knowledge or skills not
taught in the course itself, then the course may
be approved for degree applicable credit only if
all requirements for establishing the appropriate
prerequisite have been met excepting only
approval by the Curriculum Committee.
f. Review the course outline to determine whether
receiving a satisfactory grade is dependent on
skills in communication or computation. If
receiving a satisfactory grade is sufficiently
dependent on such skills, then the course may
be approved for degree applicable credit only if
all requirements have been met for establishing
a prerequisite or co-requisite of not less than
eligibility for enrollment to a degree-applicable
course in English or mathematics, respectively.
2. A course which should have a prerequisite or co-
requisite as provided in (5) or (6) but for which
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 63
one or more of the requirements for establishing
a prerequisite have not been met may only:
Be reviewed and approved pursuant to the
standards for non-degree applicable credit, non-
credit, or community service; or
Be revised and reviewed as required to meet the
criteria for establishing the necessary
prerequisites or co-requisites.
3. The Curriculum Committee also reviews the
course and prerequisite in a manner that meets
each of the requirements specified above.
D. Program Review. As a regular part of the program
review process or at least every six years, except
that the prerequisites and co-requisites for
vocational courses or programs shall be reviewed
every two years, the college shall review each
prerequisite, co-requisite, or advisory to establish
that each is still supported by the faculty in the
discipline or department and by the Curriculum
Committee and is still in compliance with all other
provisions of this policy and with the law. Any
prerequisite or co-requisite that is still supported
shall be reviewed promptly thereafter to assure that
it is in compliance with all other provisions of this
policy and with the law.
E. Implementing Prerequisites, Co-requisites, and
Limitations on Enrollment. Implementation of
prerequisites, co-requisites, and limitations on
enrollment must be done in a consistent manner and
not left exclusively to the classroom instructor.
Every attempt shall be made to enforce all
conditions a student must meet to be enrolled in the
course through the registration process so that a
student is not permitted to enroll unless he/she has
met all the conditions or has met all except those for
which he/she has a pending challenge or for which
further information is needed before final
determination is possible of whether the student has
met the condition.
F. Instructor's Formal Agreement to Teach the Course
as Described. The District shall establish a
procedure so that courses for which prerequisites or
co-requisites are established will be taught in
accordance with the course outline, particularly
those aspects of the course outline that are the basis
for justifying the establishment of the prerequisite or
co-requisite. The process shall be established by
consulting collegially with the local academic senate
and, if appropriate, the local bargaining unit.
Review of Individual Courses
If the student's enrollment in a course or program is to
be contingent on his or her having met the proposed
prerequisite(s) or co-requisite(s), then such a
prerequisite or co-requisite must be established as
follows. If enrollment is not blocked, then what is being
established is not a prerequisite or co-requisite but,
rather, an advisory on recommended preparation and
must be identified as such in the schedule and catalog.
Prerequisites or co-requisites may be established only
for any of the following purposes:
A. the prerequisite or co-requisite is expressly required
or expressly authorized by statute or regulation; or
B. the prerequisite will assure, consistent with Title 5
Section 55002, that a student has the skills,
concepts, and/or information that is presupposed in
terms of the course or program for which it is being
established, such that a student who has not met the
prerequisite is highly unlikely to receive a
satisfactory grade in the course (or at least one
course within the program) for which the prerequisite
is being established; or
C. the co-requisite course will assure, consistent with
Title 5 Section 55002, that a student acquires the
necessary skills, concepts, and/or information, such
that a student who has not enrolled in the co-
requisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory
grade in the course or program for which the
corequisite is being established; or
D. the prerequisite or co-requisite is necessary to
protect the health or safety of a student or the health
or safety of others.
Establishing advisories does not require all the
following steps.
E. Advisories on Recommended Preparation
The District may recommend that a student meet a
standard of readiness at entry only if recommended
by the faculty in the discipline or department and by
the Curriculum Committee as provided above.
Prerequisites establishing communication or
computational skill requirements may not be
established across the entire curriculum unless
established on a course-by-course basis.
F. Limitations on Enrollment
The types of limitation on enrollment specified below
may only be established through the curriculum
review process by the discipline or department
faculty and the Curriculum Committee specified
above including the requirement to review them
again at least every six years; for example, as part of
program review. The following requirements must
also be met in order to establish these particular
limitations on enrollment.
1. Performance Courses. The District may
establish audition or try-out as a limitation on
enrollment for courses that include public
performance or intercollegiate competition such
as but not limited to band, orchestra, theater,
competitive speech, chorus, journalism, dance,
and intercollegiate athletics provided that:
a. For any certificate or associate degree
requirement which can be met by taking this
course, there is another course or courses
which satisfy the same requirement; and
POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
64 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
b. The District includes in the course outline of
record a list of each certificate or associate
degree requirement that the course meets
and of the other course or courses which
meet the same requirement.
Limitations on enrollment established as
provided for performance courses shall be
reviewed during program review or at least
every six years to determine whether the
audition or try-out process is having a
disproportionate impact on any historically
under-represented group and, if so, a plan
shall be adopted to seek to remedy the
disproportionate impact. If disproportionate
impact has been found, the limitation on
enrollment may not be printed in subsequent
catalogs or schedules nor enforced in any
subsequent term until such a plan has been
endorsed by the department and the college
administration and put into effect.
2. Honors Courses. A limitation on enrollment for
an honors course or an honors section of a
course may be established if, in addition to the
review by the faculty in the discipline or
department and by the Curriculum Committee as
provided above, there is another section or
another course or courses at the college which
satisfy the same requirements. If the limitation is
for an honors course and not only for an honors
section, the college must also include in the
course outline of record a list of each certificate
or associate degree requirement that the course
meets and of the other course or courses which
meet the same associate degree or certificate
requirement.
G. Blocks of Courses or Sections. Blocks of courses or
blocks of sections of courses are two or more
courses or sections for which enrollment is limited in
order to create a cohort of students. Such a
limitation on enrollment may be established if, in
addition to review by the faculty in the discipline or
department and by the Curriculum Committee as
provided above, there is another section or another
course or courses that satisfy the same requirement.
If the cohort is created through limitations on
enrollment in the courses rather than limitations on
specific sections of courses, then the college must
include in the course outline of record a list of each
certificate or associate degree requirement that the
course meets and of the other course or courses
which satisfy the same associate degree or
certificate requirement. (AP 4260, 10/11/12; BP/AP
4020; AP 4260.1, 10/11/12; AP 5052, 12/13/12)
Prerequisites/Corequisites and Limitations
on Enrollment
Courses with prerequisites, corequisites, or limitations
on enrollment are identified in the Schedule of Classes
and in the College Catalog which can be purchased in
the College Bookstore, located in Danner Hall. Students
are expected to have satisfied prerequisites or the
equivalent before enrolling in a course.
All courses of the District shall be open to enrollment in
accordance with Board Policy 5052 and a priority system
consistent with Administrative Procedure 5055.
Enrollment may be limited to students meeting properly
validated prerequisites and co-requisites, or due to other
non-evaluative, practical considerations as determined
by the Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of
Instruction.
Implementing Prerequisites, Corequisites, and
Limitations on Enrollment
A student seeking enrollment in a course with a
prerequisite that the student believes has been fulfilled
at another college or university must provide official
transcripts from that institution to the Admissions and
Records Department a minimum of 48 hours to
attempting enrollment.
All conditions a student must meet to be enrolled in the
class through the registration process will be enforced
so that a student is not permitted to enroll unless he or
she has met all the conditions of enrollment or sought
entry to the class through the Matriculation
Prerequisite/Corequisite Appeals Process. (AP 4260,
10/11/12; 5075, 12/13/12).
Principles of Community
San Joaquin Delta Community College District is
committed to providing the campus community with a
safe and collegial environment in which fear, intimidation
and bullying are not tolerated. All employees, students,
and volunteers are expected to treat each other with
respect, dignity and civility, recognizing that
disagreement and informed debate are valued in an
academic community. Treating others with civility and
respect and refusing to perpetuate or tolerate bullying
behavior are expected standards for district employees,
volunteers and students as well as vendors,
independent contractors and visitors to the College.
In accordance with this aim, the District will not tolerate
behavior which insults, degrades, intimidates, threatens
or stereotypes any individual, race, gender, disability,
physical characteristic, ethnic group, sexual preference,
age, national origin, income level, or religion.
The spirit of the principles of community policy will be
applied to all District employees, students, and
volunteers. Conduct by employees or students that
violate this policy may be addressed in accordance with
appropriate disciplinary procedures. (BP 3440, 5/20/14)

Incomplete
Incomplete academic work for
unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable
reasons at the end of the term may result in
an "I" symbol being entered in the student's
record. The condition for removal of the "I"
shall be stated by the professor in a written
record. This record shall contain the
conditions for removal of the "I" and the
grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This

Sexual Harassment Policy
All forms of harassment are contrary to basic standards
of conduct between individuals and are prohibited by
state and federal law, as well as this policy, and will not
be tolerated. The District is committed to providing an
academic and work environment that respects the
dignity of individuals and groups. The District shall be
free of sexual harassment and all forms of sexual
intimidation and exploitation. It shall also be free of
other unlawful harassment, including that which is based
on any of the following statuses: national origin, religion,
age, sex (gender), race, color, medical condition,
ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or
mental disability, or because he or she is perceived to
have one or more of the foregoing characteristics.
The District seeks to foster an environment in which all
employees and students feel free to report incidents of
harassment without fear of retaliation or reprisal.
Therefore, the District also strictly prohibits retaliation
against any individual for filing a complaint of
harassment or for participating in a harassment
investigation. Such conduct is illegal and constitutes a
violation of this policy.
All allegations of retaliation will be swiftly and thoroughly
investigated. If the district determines that retaliation
has occurred, it will take all reasonable steps within its
power to stop such conduct. Individuals who engage in
retaliatory conduct are subject to disciplinary action, up
to and including termination or expulsion. Any student or
employee who believes that he or she has been
harassed or retaliated against in violation of this policy
should immediately report such incidents as prescribed
in the District’s Administrative Procedures (See AP
3435, Unlawful Discrimination and Harassment
Complaint Procedure and Investigative Process).
Supervisors are mandated to report all incidents of
harassment and retaliation that come to their attention.
This policy applies to all aspects of the academic
environment, including but not limited to classroom
conditions, grades, academic standing, employment
opportunities, scholarships, recommendations,
disciplinary actions, and participation in any community
college activity. In addition, this policy applies to all
terms and conditions of employment, including but not
limited to hiring, placement, promotion, disciplinary
action, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, training
opportunities and compensation. (BP 3430 6/21/05,
05/17/16)
Definition of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal,
visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature made by
someone from or in the work or educational setting,
under any of the following conditions:
· submission to the conduct is made a term or
condition of an individual's employment, academic
status, or progress;
· submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the
individual is used as a basis of employment or
academic decisions affecting the individual;
· the conduct has the purpose or effect of having a
negative impact upon the individual's work or
academic performance, or of creating an
intimidating, hostile or offensive work or educational
environment; or
· submission to, or rejection of, the conduct by the
individual is used as the basis for any decision
affecting the individual regarding benefits and
services, honors, programs, or activities available at
or through the community college.
For the purpose of further clarification, sexual
harassment includes many forms of offensive behavior
and includes gender based harassment of a person of
the same sex as the harasser. The following is a partial
list:
1. Making unsolicited written, verbal, physical, and/or
visual contacts with sexual overtones. (Examples of
possible sexual harassment that appear in a written
form include, but are not limited to: suggestive or
obscene letters, notes, and invitations.) (Examples
of possible verbal sexual harassment include, but
are not limited to: leering, gestures, display of
sexually aggressive objects or pictures, cartoons, or
posters.)
2. Continuing to express sexual interest after being
informed that the interest is unwelcome.
3. Making reprisals, threats of reprisal, or implied
threats of reprisal following a rebuff of harassing
behavior. The following are examples of conduct in
an academic environment that might be found to be
sexual harassment: implying or actually withholding
grades earned or deserved; suggesting a poor
performance evaluation will be prepared; or
suggesting a scholarship recommendation or college
application will be denied.
4. Engaging in explicit or implicit coercive sexual
behavior within the work environment which is used
to control, influence, or affect the employee’s career,
salary, and/or work environment.
5. Engaging in explicit or implicit coercive sexual
behavior within the educational environment that is
used to control, influence, or affect the educational
opportunities, grades and/or learning environment of
a student.
6. Offering favors or educational or employment
benefits, such as grades or promotions, favorable
performance evaluations, favorable assignments,
favorable duties or shifts, recommendations,
reclassifications, etc., in exchange for sexual favors.

admission qualifications and course/program
prerequisites.
The College will aggressively pursue affirmative action
goals and objectives by continuing leadership and
programs to provide the educational opportunities
available to all historically under-represented groups in
all areas of instruction.
Through adoption of a Student Equity Plan, the College
will establish and continually revise goals for recruitment
of historically under-represented groups.
The California Community Colleges Board of Governors
has determined that, on a state-wide basis, ethnic
minorities, women, and persons with disabilities are
historically under-represented groups. (Title 5 section
53001) (Policy 5060, 2/6/96)
Student Conduct
A student enrolled at San Joaquin Delta Community
College District assumes an obligation to conduct
him/herself in a manner compatible with the District’s
function as an educational institution. This includes the
obligation to act with honesty and integrity. Students are
expected to treat members of the campus community,
District property, and personal property of members of

Decision, evidence, written reports or statements
shall be presented by the District’s Discipline Officer,
or designee, or the District’s General Counsel.

witnesses and introduce oral and written testimony
relevant to the issues of the matter. Witnesses may
include administrators, faculty, classified staff
members, or other students who have direct
knowledge of the issues leading the
recommendation for disciplinary action. District
employees who have referred students for
disciplinary action shall have the right to make a
statement at the hearing in support of their referral
and recommendations.
4. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Any
relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of
evidence upon which responsible persons are
accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs
regardless of the existence of any common law or
statutory rule which might otherwise exclude such
evidence.
5. Unless the Disciplinary Appeal Hearing Panel
determines to proceed otherwise, the District
representative and the student shall each be
permitted to make an opening statement.
Thereafter, the District representative shall make the
first presentation of evidence, followed by the
student. The District representative may present a
rebuttal statement and/or evidence after the student
completes his or her evidence. The burden shall be
on the District representative to prove by substantial
evidence that the facts alleged are true.
6. The student may represent him or herself, and may
also have the right to be represented by a person of
his or her choice. The Disciplinary Hearing Panel
may also request legal assistance. Any legal
advisor provided to the hearing panel may sit with
the panel in an advisory capacity to provide legal
counsel, but shall not be a member of the panel.
7. Hearings shall be closed and confidential unless the
student requests that it be open to the public. Any
such request must be submitted in writing to, and
received by, the Hearing Officer no less than five (5)
days prior to the date of the hearing.
8. In a closed hearing, witnesses shall not be present
at the hearing when not testifying, unless all parties
and the Hearing Panel agree otherwise. For
purposes of this section, faculty, administrators,
classified staff members, and students who referred
the matter for disciplinary action shall not be
considered witnesses and shall be allowed to be
present within the closed hearing.
9. The District shall record the hearing either by audio
or stenographic recording, which shall be the only
recording made of the hearing. No witness who
refuses to be recorded may be permitted to give
testimony. In the event the hearing is audio-

at the beginning of the hearing, ask each person
present to identify them by name; and, thereafter,

hearing, the Disciplinary Hearing Panel Chair shall
prepare and submit a Hearing Summary to the
Superintendent/President. The Hearing Summary

and not on matters or evidence outside of that
record. The record consists of the Notice of
Intended Discipline, Notice of Disciplinary Decisions,
evidence, written reports, the written response of the

Panel's recommended decision, the

President impose discipline that is more severe than
the discipline set forth in the Notice of Disciplinary
Decision. If the Superintendent/President modifies
or rejects the Hearing Panel's findings and/or
recommended discipline, the
Superintendent/President shall review the record of
the hearing and prepare a new written decision
which contains specific factual findings and

by the Board of Trustees. (Education Code Section
72122).
3. The Board of Trustees shall consider any
recommendation from the Superintendent/ President
for expulsion at the next regularly scheduled meeting
of the Board of Trustees after receipt of the
recommended decision. The Board of Trustees
shall consider an expulsion recommendation in

that the matter be considered in a public meeting in
accordance with this procedure (Education Code
Section 72122).
4. The student shall be notified of the date, time, and
place of the Board of Trustees meeting in writing, by
registered or certified mail or by personal service, at
least three (3) days prior to the meeting. The
student may, within forty-eight (48) hours after
receipt of the Notice of Intended Discipline, request
that the hearing be held as a public meeting.
However, even if the student has requested that the
Board of Trustees consider an expulsion
recommendation in a public meeting, only
consideration of the factual findings shall be
conducted in Open Session. Deliberation on the
appropriate discipline shall always be conducted in
Closed Session. Further, the Board of Trustees will
hold any discussion that might be in conflict with the
right to privacy of any other student in Closed
Session.
5. The Board of Trustees may accept, modify, or reject
the findings, decisions and recommendations of the
Superintendent/President. If the Board of Trustees
modifies or rejects the decision, the Board of
Trustees shall review the record of the hearing and
prepare a new written decision which contains
specific factual findings and conclusions. The
decision of the Board of Trustees shall be final.
The final action of the Board of Trustees on the
expulsion shall be taken at a public meeting, and the
result of the action shall be a public record of the District.

Defining Educational Goals
The educational goal is defined as the student's purpose
for attending San Joaquin Delta College and includes
the major field of academic specialization such as
Business, Biological Sciences, Art, or Engineering. A
major includes an organized set of required courses that
prepares students for further study or employment.
Student Options
1. Transfer
At San Joaquin Delta College, students may
complete the first two years of course work required
for a Bachelor's Degree and transfer as a junior to a
baccalaureate-granting institution. Students may
transfer with or without an Associate's Degree, but
earning the Associate in Arts for Transfer or the
Associate in Science for Transfer degree will
facilitate transfer to California State University
campuses.
2. Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.)
Degree
An Associate's Degree is the first college degree a
student may earn. It signifies the completion of at
least 60 semester units of college-level work in a
major or area of emphasis and includes completion
of general education (G.E.) courses. Some students
require developmental course work to prepare for
college-level study and, thus, may be required to
complete more than 60 units to earn the Associate's
Degree.
3. Certificate of Achievement
A Certificate of Achievement is a short-term
program, usually two to four semesters for a full-time
student. Certificate programs focus on preparing
students for a specific goal or area of employment.
4. Other Educational Goals
If a student does not plan to complete a Certificate
or Associate's degree, or transfer to a four-year
college or university, courses are offered for
personal development. In this case, the educational
goal may be to:
· Learn new job skills
· Improve basic skills (i.e., English, mathematics)
· Pursue a personal interest
· Update current job skills
· Explore career interests
Counselors are available to assist students in defining
their educational goals.
Planning Your Schedule
The unit: a working definition
The number of course units is generally the number of
lecture hours per week a class meets. Classes that
include a laboratory component meet additional hours.
Students should expect a minimum of two hours of
outside study per week for each enrolled unit. The
student's ability to successfully complete college course
work must be carefully considered to include time for
class, study, employment, and other personal
responsibilities.
How many units should you take?
Delta College's suggested guidelines:
If you work:
Take no more than:
40 hours per week
6 units
30 hours per week
9 units
20 hours per week
12 units
5 to 15 hours per week
14 - 16 units
“Full-time” Student Status
12 or more units
How long will it take to complete a certificate or degree?
The time it takes to complete a certificate or degree is dependent on how many units are taken each semester.
Refer to the chart below to determine how the average number of courses completed per semester will affect the
time it will take to complete a certificate or degree.

Associate Degree for Transfer to California State
University (AA-T/AS-T)
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate
Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code
sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a
California State University (CSU) campus for any
community college student who completes an “associate
degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the
associate degrees traditionally offered at a California
community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer
(AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is
intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's
degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students
completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are
guaranteed admission to the CSU system but not to a
particular campus or major. In order to earn one of
these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60
required semester units of CSU-transferable coursework
with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Note: Course substitution
for associate degrees for transfer is limited to students
transferring from another accredited institution that has
an aligned degree in the same discipline (AP 4042,
2/14/12). Students transferring to a CSU campus that
does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required to
complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a
bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated
“high-unit” major). This degree may not be the best
option for students intending to transfer to a particular
CSU campus or university or college that is not part of
the CSU system. Students should consult with a
counselor when planning to complete the degree for
more information on university admission and transfer
requirements.

Philosophy and Criteria for Associate Degree and
General Education
General education is an integrated curriculum designed
to prepare the student for better self-understanding and
for the responsibilities of living in a global society.
Essential elements of general education include critical
thinking, effective communication, and knowledge of the
multiple dimensions of the modern world. General
education provides a core of knowledge which enables
the student to:
A. develop new insights about the complex forces in
the modern world.
B. develop the ability to think and communicate clearly
and effectively through the use of oral, written, and
mathematical skills, and to apply critical thinking and
the modes of inquiry of major disciplines.
C. become aware of other cultures and times.
D. achieve a deeper understanding about ethical
choices individuals face in contemporary society.
E. develop the capacity for self-understanding.
F. examine the values inherent in proposed solutions to
major social problems.
(BP 4025, 4/20/10)
Criteria for determining General Education courses
A. Courses appropriate for general education will
include the following criteria:
1. Course Integrity and Breadth - The course
exposes the student to a wide spectrum of
principles, theories, beliefs, and knowledge
within individual academic disciplines and is not
primarily a part of a sequence of courses.
2. Critical Thinking - The course requires the
student to critically analyze principles, theories,
beliefs, and knowledge included in the course.
B. In addition, courses will also include at least four of
the following criteria:
1. Individual Perspectives - The course uses the
methods of each discipline to develop the
student's ability to examine, evaluate, and
express individual perspectives.
2. Integration of Knowledge - The course aims at
integrating the major concepts of the course with
knowledge from other general education areas.
3. Culture and Heritage - The course examines
culture and heritage and their role in
understanding and shaping society.
4. Application of Knowledge - The course prepares
the student to apply the principles and content of
a particular discipline to understand, analyze,
and evaluate information to solve problems.
5. Communication of Knowledge - The course
prepares the student to communicate information
in a variety of ways.
6. Discipline Exploration - The course provides a
foundation of knowledge and technique from
which the student can continue learning in the
general discipline area.
Criteria for judging courses as appropriate for the
required general education areas include:
A. Language and Rationality
1. Courses fulfilling the English composition
requirement shall be designed to include both
expository and argumentative writing. Courses
offered in fulfillment of this requirement shall be
at the level typically known as Freshman
Composition.
2. Courses fulfilling the mathematics requirement
shall be at the level typically known as
Intermediate Algebra, (either intermediate
algebra or another mathematics course at the
same level, with the same rigor and with
Intermediate Algebra as a prerequisite). This
requirement may also be met by a mathematics
course taught in or on behalf of other
departments and which, as determined by the
local governing board, require entrance skills at
a level equivalent to those necessary for
Intermediate Algebra. Mathematics courses with
a prerequisite of Intermediate Algebra may also
be used to satisfy this requirement.
3. Courses fulfilling the oral communication
requirement will develop knowledge and
understanding of the form, content, context and
effectiveness of communication. Students will
develop proficiency in oral communication,
examining communication from the rhetorical
perspective and practicing reasoning and
advocacy, organization and accuracy.
Coursework must include active participation and
practice in oral communication in the physical
presence of faculty and other listeners.
B. Natural Sciences
1. Courses in the natural sciences are those which
examine the physical universe, its life forms, and
its natural phenomena. This category would
include introductory or integrative courses in
astronomy, biology, chemistry, general physical
science, geology, meteorology, oceanography,
physical geography, physical anthropology,
physics and other scientific disciplines.
2. To satisfy the General Education Requirement in
natural sciences, a course shall be designed to
help the student develop an appreciation and
understanding of the scientific method, and
encourage an understanding of the relationships
between science and other human activities.
DEGREE AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
94 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
C. Humanities
1. Courses in the humanities are those which study
the cultural activities and artistic expressions of
human beings. Such courses could include
introductory or integrative courses in the arts,
foreign languages, literature, philosophy, and
religion.
2. To satisfy the general education requirement in
the humanities, a course shall be designed to
help the student develop an awareness of the
ways in which people throughout the ages and in
different cultures have responded to themselves
and the world around them in artistic and cultural
creation and help the student develop aesthetic
understanding and ability to make value
judgments.
D. American Institutions
1. Courses fulfilling the American Institutions
requirement focus study in three areas: the
historical development of American institutions
and ideals, the Constitution of the United States
and the operation of representative democratic
government under the Constitution, and the
process of California State and local
government.
2. Courses in American History will cover
significant events from U.S. history, as follows:
cover a minimum time span of approximately
one hundred years occurring in the entire area
now included in the United States of America
including the relationships of regions within that
area and with external regions and powers, the
role of major ethnic and social groups, the
"continuity of the American experience" (i.e., not
a string of isolated events) and its derivation
from others cultures, including study of politics,
economics, social movements, and/or geography
(at least three of the four).
3. Courses examining the U.S. Constitution will
include the political philosophies of the framers
of the Constitution, the operation of United
States political process and institutions under the
U.S. Constitution, and the rights and obligations
of individual citizens in the political system
established under the Constitution.
4. Courses in the area of California state and local
government will address the Constitution of the
State of California and the nature and processes
of California state and local government.
5. Courses accepted in satisfaction of this
requirement must have been approved for
satisfaction of the CSU "American Institutions:
U.S. History, Constitution, and American Ideals”
requirement. See CSU Executive Order 405 for
further clarification. It is unlikely that a single
course would include sufficient breadth and
depth to rigorously satisfy all of the above
requirements.
E. Social and Behavioral Sciences
1. Courses in the social and behavioral sciences
are those which focus on people as members of
society. This category would include
introductory or integrative survey courses in
cultural anthropology, cultural geography,
economics, history, political science, psychology,
sociology, and related disciplines.
2. To satisfy the general education requirement in
social and behavioral sciences, a course shall be
designed to develop an awareness of the
methods of inquiry used by the social and
behavioral sciences. It shall be designed to
stimulate critical thinking about the ways people
act and have acted in response to their societies
and should promote appreciation of how
societies and social subgroups operate.
F. Awareness of Self and Society
1. Courses which contain a breadth of subject
matter essential for awareness of self and
society.
2. This category should reflect the needs of a
dynamic society; therefore, courses may be
added, deleted, or changed as the future needs
of society may dictate.
G. Ethnic Studies
1. Designated Ethnic Studies courses will be
offered in at least one of the areas outlined in
Section B above.
2. Ethnic Studies courses must focus on one or
more ethnic groups in the U. S.
3. Courses approved for Ethnic Studies designation
will satisfy CSU General Education Breadth Area
D-3.
(AP 4025, 5/11/10)
Associate Degree General Education Requirements
The Chancellor's Office for the California Community
Colleges deems that the governing board of community
colleges shall establish a general education program
which symbolizes a successful attempt on the part of the
college to lead students through patterns of learning
experiences designed to develop certain capabilities and
insights. Among these are the ability to think and to
communicate clearly and effectively both orally and in
writing; to use mathematics; to understand the modes of
inquiry of the major disciplines; to be aware of other
cultures and times; to achieve insight gained through
experience in thinking about ethical problems; and to
develop the capacity for self-understanding. In addition
to these accomplishments, the student shall possess
sufficient depth in one field of knowledge to contribute to
lifetime interest.
General education is designed to introduce students to
the variety of means through which people comprehend
the modern world. It reflects the conviction of colleges
that those who receive their degrees must possess in
common certain basic principles, concepts and
DEGREE AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 95
methodologies both unique to and shared by the various

Intersegmental General Education Transfer
Curriculum - CSU Version, Certificate of Achievement
This certificate is designed for the student who intends
to transfer to the California State University (CSU)
System and chooses to complete IGETC to satisfy lower
division general education requirements. Completion
and certification of the Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) CSU version,
permits students to transfer from San Joaquin Delta
College to a campus of the California State University
(CSU) without the need to take additional courses after
transfer to satisfy the lower division general education
requirements.
The California State University has an American
Institutions (AI) requirement that is separate from IGETC
requirements. Courses indicated by *** will satisfy the AI
requirement. Courses used to satisfy this requirement
are listed in IGETC Area 3 and 4. CSU campuses have
the discretion whether to allow courses used to satisfy
the CSU AI graduation requirement to count in both
IGETC areas and to also meet the AI graduation
requirement. Students are strongly advised to consult
with a counselor or visit assist.org to determine which
courses to complete to satisfy the CSU AI requirement.
Failure to do so may lead to incorrect course selection
and may delay transfer.
Students must file an application for IGETC certification
and are urged to also request evaluation for the IGETC
CSU Version, Certificate of Achievement with evaluators
in the Admissions and Records Office immediately upon
completion of IGETC coursework. The Evaluators may
be reached by selecting "Student Services" at
www.deltacollege.edu and then selecting "Evaluations".
Selection of courses from this list may be affected by
one or more factors, including choice of major, university
transfer requirements, or prerequisite or sequencing
requirements. Failure to plan appropriately will
adversely affect timely graduation and/or transfer.
Students are encouraged to consult with a counselor to
develop an Student Education Plan. Counseling
appointments may be scheduled online by selecting
“Counseling Center”, "Make a Counseling Appointment"
under “Student Services” on the Delta College Home
Page, www.deltacollege.edu. Counseling appointments

Students using the IGETC pattern for transfer to a
UC campus may have satisfied the American
Institutions requirement through high school
coursework. Satisfactory completion in high school
of a one-year course in U.S. History, or a half-year
course in American Government, satisfies this
requirement at all UC campuses except UC Santa
Barbara, which requires a college level course.
UCLA requires that the student must have earned
a "B" average in these high school courses.
Students who did not satisfy the AI requirement
through high school coursework may do so by
taking any course indicated by *** on the IGETC.
Students must take an additional course in the
same IGETC area as the AI requirement to satisfy
the area general education requirement. It is

Advanced Placement Examination Credit
Students may complete general education (GE) area requirements on the SJDC-GE Pattern, CSU-GE Pattern, or IGETC
pattern by earning a satisfactory score on the Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or College
Level Examination Program (CLEP) Examinations. College units are awarded and GE areas are cleared as indicated in
the chart below.
A satisfactory score in AP English Literature, AP English Language, IB Language A1 (English), or CLEP English
Composition with Essay may be used to meet the prerequisite for courses that require ENG 001A.
Students should meet with a counselor to discuss options regarding the use of AP/IB/CLEP examinations to meet specific
course requirements or prerequisites within their selected major.
Students who have earned a satisfactory score may receive units, but not a letter grade towards the Associate Degree.
Units and course equivalencies granted by Delta College are not identical to units and course equivalencies granted by
other institutions. Each institution has its own policy for determining units and equivalencies awarded. Transfer students
should refer to the advanced placement policy at the college or university they are considering transferring to as the
application of examination credit is left to the discretion of individual institutions.
An advanced placement examination may duplicate content in certain college courses. In such cases, the student will not
receive credit for both the examination and the course. Students are advised to consult with a college counselor,
university official, the college catalog, and the advanced placement policy at the transfer institution.

4. If a student passes more than one AP exam in calculus or computer science, only one examination may be applied to
the baccalaureate.
5. Students who pass AP Environmental Science earn 4 units of credit. Tests prior to Fall 2009 may apply to either
B1+B3 or B2+B3 of GE Breadth. Fall of 09 or later, those credits may only apply to B1+B3.
6. If a student passes more than one AP exam in physics, only six units of credit may be applied to the baccalaureate,
and only four units of credit may be applied to a certification in GE Breadth.
7. If a student passes more than one CLEP test in the same language other than English (e.g., two exams in French),
then only one examination may be applied to the baccalaureate. For each test in a language other than English, a
passing score of 50 is considered “Level I” and earns six units of baccalaureate credit; the higher score listed for each
test is considered “Level II” and earns additional units of credit and placement in Area C2 of GE Breadth, as noted.
8. The IB curriculum offers language at various levels for native and non-native speakers. Language B courses are
offered at the intermediate level for non-natives. Language A1 and A2 are advanced courses in literature for native
and non-native speakers, respectively.
Transferring to a Four-Year Institution
Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution
from San Joaquin Delta College should consult with a
Delta College counselor, a representative of the campus
to which you plan to transfer, and/or refer to the college
catalog and web site for that campus in order to obtain
the most current information. There are four areas to
research when planning the courses needed to transfer:
1. Admission requirements for the planned college or
university.
2. Major preparation courses, which meet prerequisites
for upper division course work, should be completed
at Delta College before transfer. Information for
UC/CSU major preparation can be found at:
www.assist.org.
3. Lower division general education requirements.
4. Other requirements that can be completed at Delta
College, such as foreign language or diversity
classes.
DEGREE AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
106 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
Associate Degree for Transfer to California State University (AA-T/AS-T)
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections
66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student
who completes an “associate degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally
offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for
Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus.
Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system but not to a particular
campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete a minimum of 60 required semester
units of CSU-transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Note: Course substitution for associate degrees for
transfer is limited to students transferring from another accredited institution that has an aligned degree in the same
discipline (AP 4042, 2/14/12). Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T or AS-T will be required
to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit”
major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or university
or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the
degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

Transfer to a California Independent College or
University:
Each of these campuses maintain different admission
requirements. To begin exploring and identifying the
campus suited to ones needs, students should:
1. Visit www.aiccumentor.org. This web site provides
information about California's independent colleges
and universities. Visit specific campus web sites for
additional admissions information.
2. Visit the planned campuses.
3. Learn how to apply for financial aid in California.
General Education Transfer Requirements
Each of the California State University (CSU) and the
University of California (UC) campuses have different
general education requirements. Depending on the
chosen campus and major, the student may be advised
to complete minimum general education courses or an
entire general education pattern while at Delta College.
The minimum general education pattern is called the
campus-specific general education breadth pattern.
There are three complete general education patterns.
For transfer to CSU only, the student may complete the
CSU-GE pattern, depending upon the major. For
transfer to UC and CSU, the student may complete the
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum
(IGETC), UC or CSU Version, depending upon the
major. Students are advised to consult with a counselor,
university representative, or university web site to
determine which GE pattern will satisfy the general
education requirements needed at the planned transfer
institution. Students completing an AA-T or AS-T
degree for transfer to CSU should complete the entire
CSU-GE or IGETC (CSU) GE patterns unless otherwise
specified. CSU-GE and IGETC patterns must be
certified prior to transfer. Students completing a AA-T or
AS-T degree do not need to have GE certified but
should apply for the CSU-GE or IGETC Certificate of
Achievement. Visit the Evaluations Office for additional
information by selecting "Student Services" from the
DEGREE AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
108 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
Delta College home page and then selecting
"Evaluations".
Major Preparation
Each four-year institution has a specific list of courses
required to prepare a student for a major. Students
should:
1. Complete a AA-T or AS-T degree if available for
transferring to a CSU.
2. Meet with a counselor to discuss which courses are
appropriate for the major they plan to pursue at a
particular school. Counseling appointments may be
scheduled online by selecting “Counseling Center”,
"Make a Counseling Appointment" under “Student
Services” on the Delta College Home Page,
www.deltacollege.edu. Counseling appointments
are not available by phone. The Counseling Center
may be reached at (209) 954-5151, ext. 6276 for
information regarding other Counseling and support
services.
3. Visit the web site, www.assist.org, to learn more
about preparation for the major at the UC/CSU to
which the student intends to transfer.
4. Visit the web site for the school to which the student
intends to transfer.
5. Visit the campus of the school which the student
intends to transfer and speak with an advisor in the
major department to learn more about the specific
preparation that is required.
6. Meet with a representative from the transfer
institution in the Delta College Career and Transfer
Center. Check with Transfer Center staff to
determine if or when the preferred transfer institution
representative will be available for appointments.
Other Requirements
Students may be able to satisfy additional campus-
specific requirements of the transfer institution prior to
transfer. These requirements may include foreign
language, diversity, ethnic studies, or courses used to
satisfy writing competencies at the receiving institution.
Students are advised to consult with a counselor to
determine if the transfer campus has such requirements.
Counseling appointments may be scheduled online by
selecting “Counseling Center”, "Make a Counseling
Appointment" under “Student Services” on the Delta
College Home Page, www.deltacollege.edu. Counseling
appointments are not available by phone. The
Counseling Center may be reached at (209) 954-5151,
ext. 6276 for information regarding other Counseling and
support services.
Satisfying the American Institutions Requirement
When Using IGETC-CSU Version
Students using the IGETC-CSU Version General
Education Pattern to transfer to a CSU campus should
complete the CSU American Institutions Graduation
Requirement outlined following the CSU General
Education Pattern in this Catalog. This is not a
requirement for transfer, but it is highly recommended
that it be completed prior to transfer.
University of California, (UC)
Students using the IGETC-UC Version General
Education Pattern for transfer to a UC campus may have
satisfied the American History and Institutions
requirement through high school course work.
Satisfactory completion of a one-year course in U.S.
History, or a half-year course in U.S. History, and a half-
year course in American government in high school,
satisfies this requirement at all UC campuses except at
UC Santa Barbara, which requires a college-level
course. UCLA requires that the student must have
earned a "B" average in these high school courses.
Students who did not satisfy the American History and
Institutions requirement through high school coursework
may do so by completing indicated courses on the
IGETC Pattern. Students are advised to consult with a
Counselor to ensure successful transfer.
General Education Certification
Following admission to a four-year college or university,
and during the final semester of enrollment at Delta
College, students may request General Education
Certification for completion of the California State
University General Education Pattern or the
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum
(IGETC), UC or CSU version. The certification process
provides community college transfer students the
opportunity to complete all lower division general
education course work prior to transfer. Forms to apply
for general education certification are available in the
Admissions and Records Office, the Counseling Center,
or online under "Forms" on the Evaluations web page.
DEGREE AND PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 109
University of California (UC) Transfer Admissions
Guarantee (TAG) Program
Six University of California (UC) campuses, Davis,
Irvine, Merced, Riverside, Santa Barbara, and Santa
Cruz; provide California Community College students
the opportunity to develop a Transfer Admission
Guarantee (TAG) with one of these campuses.
Approved TAGs guarantee admission to the UC campus
indicated. UC TAGs are submitted during the month of
September for admission consideration for the following
fall term. Only UC Merced accepts TAG applications for
the spring semester and those TAGs must be submitted
in the month of June for admission consideration for the
following spring term. Students who submit a TAG in
September will also be required to submit a formal UC
Application for Admission during the month of November
for fall admission and the month of July for the spring
semester. Students who fulfill the conditions as outlined
on the TAG will be guaranteed admission upon
completion of the formal admission process.
Students who are interested in obtaining a UC TAG are
encouraged to meet with a Delta College counselor as
early as possible to develop a Comprehensive Student
Education Plan (CSEP), a document that identifies all of
the lower division courses offered at the community
college that the student will need to complete in order to
become TAG eligible and well prepared in their
academic major once they transfer to the UC.
Another key step is for students interested in obtaining a
UC TAG is to create an account on the UC Transfer
Admission Planner (UC TAP) as soon as possible. The
student should enter his/her personal information and all
of the coursework that has been completed, as well as
courses in progress and planned, according to the
CSEP document. The UC TAP can help the student to
monitor his/her progress every semester. As a web-
based site, the counselor and UC staff can engage with
the student online at the UC TAP website by providing
additional advising and support, and also to make
available to the student, opportunities to participate in
activities designed to help the student to transfer.
Another type of guaranteed admission, Transfer
Admission Agreement (TAA), is offered by the University
of Pacific and is available for select majors only. The
California State University (CSU) grants priority
admission consideration for students who will complete
the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) in an AA-T or
AS-T major deemed similar to the degree at the CSU.
Students who reside within the local area of a particular
CSU campus that serves their region are also given
priority admission. For more information and to develop
a CSEP with a Delta Counselor, counseling
appointments may be scheduled online by selecting
"Counseling Center" under "Student Services" on the
Delta College homepage: www.deltacollege.edu
Appointments with the Lead Counselor for Transfer and
with the University Representatives who visit Delta’s
campus can be made by calling (209) 954-5151, ext.
6218.
Essential Transfer Information
The following information is a brief overview of what
students are advised to complete in order to transfer
successfully:
· See a counselor at least once each semester to
serve as your guide to the transfer process.
Counseling appointments may be scheduled online
by selecting “Counseling Center”, "Make a
Counseling Appointment" under “Student Services”
on the Delta College Home Page,
www.deltacollege.edu. Counseling appointments are
not available by phone. The Counseling Center may
be reached at (209) 954-5151, ext. 6276 for
information regarding other counseling and support
services.
· Counselors can assist in researching careers and
majors that will fit with the student's personal
interests and abilities.
· Research college campuses that have the selected
major and fit the lifestyle the student would like in a
four-year college or university. Arrange to visit these
campuses.
· If transferring to a CSU campus, determine if the AA-
T or AS-T degree exists for your intended major.
· Develop an educational plan with a counselor that
will serve as map to transfer. You can use
www.assist.org to determine major preparation
requirements at individual CSU and UC campuses.
· Ascertain if the planned college or university
provides a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)
agreement.
· Complete the appropriate general education pattern
and maintain the required grade point average
(GPA).
· Complete the AA-T/AS-T degree or major
preparation course work with the required GPA,
which will prepare the student for admission to the
chosen major at the junior level.
· Apply to the college or university of your choice
within the posted deadlines. Failure to apply early in
the application period may negatively affect your
ability to transfer.
· Apply for the Associate Degree and graduation from
Delta College, if applicable.
· Once accepted to a college or university, have the
general education pattern certified as complete by
the evaluations office. Evaluation information may
be reviewed by selecting "Evaluations" under
"Services and Support" on the Delta College web
site, www.deltacollege.edu. Students transferring to
a CSU campus with a completed AA-T or AS-T
degree do not need to have general education
certified. All students should apply for a Certificate
of Achievement in CSU GE or IGETC, depending

COLLEGE CREDIT FOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES
San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog 121
Students who have completed articulated courses in
high school may receive college credit at San Joaquin
Delta College. The College is committed to
comprehensive articulation of instructional programs
with both secondary and post secondary educational
institutions, often referred to as 2+2+2 articulation. The
2+2 articulation links the high school or Regional
Occupational Program (ROP) with San Joaquin Delta
College programs. These articulated programs lead to
an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. The
2+2+2 articulation adds a four-year college or university
program that leads to a Baccalaureate Degree where
appropriate.
The articulation process is a system designed to help
students advance from one course, program, or
educational level to the next without unnecessary
repetition of essentially similar courses for which credit
has already been received.
A listing of the currently articulated courses may be
found on the Delta College web site at:
http://www.deltacollege.edu/dept/articulation/Articulation
_List_001.htm
http://www.deltacollege.edu/dept/articulation/Articulation
_List_001.htm
If you have completed any of the articulated courses,
you may wish to obtain college credit by completing ALL
of the following steps.
Step 1.
Successfully complete the course according
to the articulation agreement between the
high school and San Joaquin Delta College
Step 2.
File an Application for Admission to San
Joaquin Delta College
Step 3.
Request credit within two years of course
completion or no later than two years after
high school graduation
Step 4.
File an Application for College Credit AND
submit official/sealed transcripts from your
high school/secondary school to the Office
of Admissions and Records
For further information contact the Office of Admissions
and Records.

Political Science, Associate in Arts for Transfer
The Associate Arts in Political Science for Transfer is
designed to provide a seamless pathway for students
planning to transfer to a California State University
(CSU) with a major in political science. Politics has an
impact on everybody's lives, and as citizens and voters
students should be informed about political issues and
choices. Majors in political science learn to think
critically, express their opinions in a thoughtful manner,
analyze political events, evaluate political ideologies and
make informed decisions on how to participate in
political processes. The goal for study as a political
science major is to maximize students' capacity to
analyze and interpret the dynamics of political events
and governmental processes and their significance.
Training in political science courses should equip
students with analytical skills including: (1) the ability to
recognize and understand the use of theory, analytic
frames and models and their use to interpret and
understand political phenomena. (2) the ability to
recognize the importance of and to weigh the worth of
evidence marshaled to support or oppose an argument.
(3) the ability coherently to systematize and accumulate
political information and knowledge and to use this stock
of knowledge to better understand the political world.
With these skills, and the ability to read and think
critically, to write effectively and express themselves
clearly, students can undertake a variety of careers.
Students with a political science major enter careers in
business, law, teaching, government, and in policy-
related fields. The political science major complements
a student's liberal arts education with an emphasis on
understanding the theoretical and practical aspects of
government and politics. The major is structured to
provide students with a background in the basic fields of
political science, as well as to permit them a range of
choice in completing the program.
Program Learning Outcomes
1. Analyze world politics and diplomacy in the
international system.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of contemporary
comparative systems and governments.
3. Identify the institutions, players and processes in
American national and state governments.
4. Assess how the design of political institutions and
processes affect policy and stability.

usually direct influence of social, economic and
cultural factors on political behavior, beliefs, and
institutions.

Psychology, Associate in Arts for Transfer
This program is designed to satisfy the lower division
requirements for students planning to transfer to a
California State University (CSU) with a major in
psychology. The study of psychology involves acquiring
knowledge about human and animal behavior as a basis
for further study in advanced courses, as a basis for
working with clients in a supervised therapy setting, and
as a basis for being an informed citizen in our society. It
is not just acquisition of knowledge but also an
understanding of the variety of causes for human
cognition, emotions, and behavior. An understanding of
the causation of behavior leads to greater sensitivity and
compassion toward the motives of other people and a
more specific and accurate interpretation of their
behavior. It also results in greater insight into and
acceptance of the reasons for one's own behavior and
as a possible vehicle for change. Course substitutions
are not permitted for this degree.

This program is designed for students planning to
transfer to a California State University (CSU) with a
major in English. Critical reading, writing, and thinking
are fundamental skills that will enable students to
navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly changing
world. These skills are necessary in both the private

to develop a strong base of knowledge and skills that will
serve as a foundation for further study. A basic core of
courses that train the student in the skills of effective
critical reading, writing, thinking, and speaking about
literature is combined with survey courses that provide
the student with the knowledge of major literary
movements, themes, genres, and the development of
literature in its historical and contemporary contexts.
The program provides a preliminary intensive study
covering the fundamentals necessary to assist students
to succeed after transfer.

Course Numbering
Transfer Credit In accordance with Executive Order
No. 167 issued by the Chancellor of the California State
University on January 26, 1973, courses numbered 1
through 69, recommended by the faculty of San Joaquin
Delta College, and designated as baccalaureate in
nature shall be accepted by any campus of the
California State University. Those courses are indicated
by the initials "CSU" at the end of the catalog
description.
Associate Degree Credit Courses All courses
numbered 1 through 69 and some courses numbered 70
through 99 may be applied toward the associate degree.
Non-Degree Credit Courses Some courses numbered
70 through 99 are credit courses but may not be applied
toward the associate degree or baccalaureate degree.
Those courses are indicated as such in the catalog
description.
Course Identification Numbering System (C-
ID)
The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a
statewide numbering system independent from the
course numbers assigned by local California community
colleges. A C-ID number next to a course signals that
participating California colleges and universities have
determined that courses offered by other California
community colleges are comparable in content and
scope to courses offered on their own campuses,
regardless of their unique titles or local course number.
Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists a course
bearing a C-ID number, for example COMM 110,
students at that college can be assured that it will be
accepted in lieu of a course bearing the C-ID COMM
110 designation at another community college. In other
words, the C-ID designation can be used to identify
comparable courses at different community colleges.
However, students should always go to www.assist.org
to confirm how each college's course will be accepted at
a particular four-year college or university for transfer
credit.
The C-ID numbering system is useful for students
attending more than one community college and is
applied to many of the transferable courses students
need as preparation for transfer. Because these course
requirements may change and because courses may be
modified and qualified for or deleted from the C-ID
database, students should always check with a
counselor to determine how C-ID designated courses fit
into their educational plans for transfer.
Students may consult the ASSIST database at
www.assist.org for specific information on C-ID course
designations. Counselors can always help students
interpret or explain this information.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
248 San Joaquin Delta College 2017-2018 Catalog
In addition to being held on the Stockton campus, many
of these courses are offered online, as hybrid courses,
and at regional sites such as Manteca and the South
