The people of the Riverside Junior College District make these educa- tional opportunities available at a minimum cost to the student because of the conviction that the fullest possible development of each individual's abilities is essential to the welfare of the local community and of the state and nation. To accomplish these objectives, the college recognizes five purposes: PHILOSOPHY OF RIVERSIDE CITY COLLEGE 1. Occupational Education Riverside City College is a public junior college and thus an integral Training should be given to those students who will finish their part of the California state system of higher education. As such, and in period of formal education in the junior college.

As an integral part of the state system of higher educa- tion, the college aims specifically to satisfy the requirements of the University of California for admission to its upper division. Fulfilling the lower division requirements of the University of California is equivalent to fulfilling the lower division requirements of most colleges and universities. 4. Guidance It is the specific responsibility of every junior college to assist its students to "find themselves." A program of training and guidance should be provided so that every student may discover his aptitudes, choose a life work, and prepare for the successful pursuit of such work. 5. Community Service Every junior college should cooperate with other public educational institutions in providing instruction to meet the needs of all people living in the community. This program is carried on primarily through college evening classes. It includes occupational and general education as well as lower division college work. 6 7 9 1 962 1 963 II CALENDAR JULY JANUARY COLLEGE CALENDAR S MTWT FS SM T W TF s 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 ~I 1962-1963 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1962 Administration of tests for new stu- 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 April 14 - August 25 - - - - - 29 30 31 27 28 29 30 31 I dents (see schedule, pages 20-21) - Summer session June 18 - July 27 - - - - - AUGUST FEBRUARY Registration for first semester July 19 - August 28 - - - - - WT F S S M T W TF S Late registration for first semester S M T August 31 (Friday) - - - - - 1 2 3 4 1 2 September 4 (Tuesday) - - - Freshman orientation 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - - Instruction begins 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 September 5 (Wednesday) 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 September 10 (Monday) - - - Admission Day 26 27 28 29 30 31 24 25 26 27 28 I September 12 (Wednesday) - - Fall convocation - 10:30 a.m. Last day to drop classes without October 19 (Friday) - - - - - MARCH SEPTEMBER I penalty SM TW TF S MT WT F S S November 9 (Friday) - - - - Mid-term grade reports 1 2 Administration of tests for new stu- 1 November 17 -January 19, 1963 - 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 dents (see schedule, pages 20-21) 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 November 22 (Thursday) - - - Thanksgiving Day - legal holiday 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 - School holiday 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 November 23 (Friday) - - - 30 31 December 24 -January 1 (inclusive) Christmas recess Counseling center open for second December 27, 28, 31 - - - - - semester registration OCTOBER APRIL II, S MT WTFS SMTW TFS 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 1963 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 January 2 - January 18 - - - - Registration for second semester 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 - - - Final examinations 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 January 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 I January 23 (Wednesday) - - - Late registration for second semester Freshman orientation NOVEMBER MAY January 25 (Friday) - - - - - End of first semester S M T WTF S S M TW TF S January 25 (Friday) - - - - - 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 January 28 (Monday) - - - - Second semester begins 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 6 7 8 9 lO 11 February 12 (Tuesday) - - - - Lincoln's Birthday -legal holiday 17 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 I 11 12 13 14 15 16 February 22 (Friday) - - - - Washington's Birthday -legal holiday 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 March 8 (Friday) - - -- - Last day to drop classes without 25 26 27 28 29 30 26 27 28 29 30 31 penalty March 29 (Friday) - - - - - Mid-term grade reports DECEMBER JUNE April 1 - 5 (inclusive) - - - - Spring recess S M TWTF S S M T W T F S - - - Memorial Day -legal holiday 1 1 May 30 (Thursday) - - Final examinations 2 3 4 o"" 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 June 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 - - - - - 9 lO 11 12 13 14 15 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 June 11 (Tuesday) - - - - - End of semester 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 June 12 (Wednesday) - - - - College commencement 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 I I June 17 (Monday) - - - - - Summer session begins 30 31 30 10 DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION 11 RIVERSIDE CITY COLLEGE - RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION 3650 Fairfax Avenue -Telephone OV 4-3240 Foundation Riverside City College was founded March 13, 1916, when, in response DIRECTORY to a general petition of electors, the City Board of Education authorized the ADMINISTRATION OFFICES-3650 Fairfax Avenue introduction of junior college courses in the Polytechnic High School.
