GRADE CORRECTIONS
No grade can be changed without the consent, in writing, by the instructor who assigned the grade except under the conditions of clerical errors, bad faith, fraud and incompetency. No grade will be changed later than two years after the calendar date end- ing the semester in which the grade was assigned. Grades are not subject to change by reason of a revision of judgment on the instructor’s part. No grade except incomplete may be revised by the instructor on the basis of a new examination or additional work undertaken or completed after submission of final grades.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE IN ECONOMICS FOR TRANSFER (AA-T)
The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer Degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status and priority admission to a local CSU campus to a program or major in Economics or similar major for completion of a baccalaureate degree. Students are required to complete:
Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: • (A) The Intersegmental General Education Trans- fer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Require- ments. • (B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as deter- mined by the community college district.
Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.
No more than 60 semester units are required.
The Associate in Arts in Economics for Transfer Degree will also assist Economics major students to transfer to a U.C. or other baccalaureate institutions. Students are advised to consult with a counselor to verify transfer requirements.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Students can continue their studies at a 4 year university.

COMMUNITY CHANGE STUDIES CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY (CP)
The Community Change Studies program combines academic course work and experiential learning to prepare students for careers in community develop- ment and related efforts to impact the quality of life in low-income communities and communities of color. The program is designed to equip students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills they will need to take on increasing levels of responsibility in careers in community organizing, development, and other efforts to involve residents, parents, youth and other stakeholders as leaders and practitioners in improving education, public health, housing, jobs creation and other conditions in their communities. Students will engage in academic classroom work with a community engagement component as well as 120 hours of on-site learning (paid internship) at a local community organizing or community development organization.
Career Opportunities Community Change Studies graduates will have strong backgrounds for careers in nonprofit, public policy, and systems level work and for academic study at four-year institutions.

LANGUAGE ARTS Coursework in Language Arts emphasizes both the form and content of linguistic communication. Students will learn to examine communicative acts within a wider social context, and to apply the principles of language and rhetoric toward the development of logical thought, precise and effective expression, and critical evaluation.
For the Associate of Arts Degree in Language Arts, students must complete the General Education pattern and elective courses for an additional 42 units. Students must complete 18 units in the area of emphasis courses with a grade of “C” or better, 19 units of general education requirements, and an additional 23 units of elective courses for a total of 60 units. As this degree alone may not be complete prepa- ration for transfer, students wishing to continue at the UC or CSU system should meet with a counselor to develop a transfer plan which addresses all general education and lower-division transfer requirements.
