Successful completion of approved programs at Ohlone College may lead to:
n
An Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree;
n
A Certificate of Achievement or a Certificate of Completion in a specified
occupational field;
n
Completion of lower division (freshman and sophomore) requirements
for transfer to upper division (junior) standing at a four-year college or
university.
Although these objectives are listed separately, it is possible to achieve all
concurrently during the freshman and sophomore years of college. F
or e
x
ample,
it is possible to use the coursework completed for a certificate program as a major
for an associate degree. Similarly, students completing lo
wer division
requirements for transfer to a four-year college or university will find it possible
to meet the requirements for an associate degree from Ohlone College.
It is important for students to declare an academic program as early in their
academic career as possible, but no later than by the time the
y complete 1
5
degree-applicable units. Students must have a declared program to be eligible to
receive financial aid, and those who have declared programs are given earlier
registration appointments. Students may declare multiple programs and may
change their declared program at any time; however, no student should remain
undeclared after completing 15 degree-applicable units. Students who did not
declare a program at the time of application can declare or change academic
programs online via WebAdvisor (https://webadvisor.ohlone.edu) or by
submitting a Change of Major form to the Office of Admissions and Records. A
Change of Major form is available online at http://www

Transfer Credit from Another Institution
Ohlone College accepts credit for lower division coursework previously
completed at a college accredited by one of the six regional accrediting
associations. Students must have official transcripts sent to the Ohlone College
Office of Admissions and Records. To be official, the transcripts must be sent from
college to college or hand-delivered in a sealed, unopened college envelope. An
Ohlone counselor will review the coursework to determine how it may be applied
to the Student Education Plan.
Students may meet with an Ohlone counselor to petition for individual courses
completed at non-regionally accredited colleges to be accepted for major
requirements. The credit is non-transferable toward a bachelor’s degree. Students
who want to use course
work completed at a foreign institution must have their
transcripts evaluated by an approved foreign evaluation service. Students must
meet with a counselor to petition to use any of this course
work to
ward the
associate degree. Course
work from a foreign institution cannot be used to certify

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS AND
ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREES
The awarding of an associate degree is intended to represent more than an
accumulation of units. It is to symbolize a successful attempt on the par
t of the
College to lead students through patterns of learning experiences designed to
de
velop 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 insights 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 some field of knowledge to contribute to lifetime interest.
Students are provided with several options for fulfilling the requirements for an
associate degree at Ohlone. Each is designed to meet specific educational goals.
It is imperative for students to meet early and often with a counselor to both plan
and maintain their educational plan. The three categories of majors and three
patterns of general education are described below and can be combined to meet
various educational goals. (Refer to the chart on page 41.)
Students are eligible for graduation upon the completion of a general education
pattern, a major, and an accumulated total of 6
0 semester units in degree-
applicable courses with a minimum of a C (2.0) grade point average (GPA) and
with a minimum of a C (2.0) GPA in all courses in the major field (including major
field electives and supporting courses).
General Majors
Students may fulfill a major in one of five general areas (Business, Liberal Arts,
Fine Arts, Natural Science, or Social Science) by completing a minimum of 20
units selected from the departments listed on page 50. Upon completion of these
20 units; the general education requirements specific for either Plan A, B, or C;
and any necessary elective requirements, students will be awarded an Associate
of Arts degree in the specified area.
Transfer Majors
Transfer associate degrees are designed to prepare students for a baccalaureate
major by fulfilling many of the lower division major and general education
requirements at the California State University (CSU) and University of California
(UC) campuses. While the core courses required in the transfer degrees fulfill
many of the lower division requirements, students are advised to meet with their
counselor to assess the course requirements for specific universities. Upon
completion of the transfer major; the general education requirements specific for
either Plan A, B, or C; and any necessary elective requirement, the student will be
awarded an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree in the specified
area.
Occupational Majors
Occupational programs are available to students interested in preparing for
employment in the fields listed on pages 58-73. Occupational majors are not
designed as transfer programs; students are advised to consult with a counselor
if they wish to consider transfer possibilities. Most of the occupationally oriented
programs lead either to an associate degree or to a Cer
tificate of Achie
vement,
the latter usually taking one year to complete. It is possible for students to enroll
in specific individual courses from many of these programs for personal benefit
without completing a total program; ho
wever, some programs have separate
admissions requirements and many courses have prerequisites. Upon completion
of an approved occupational major; the general education requirements specific
for either Plan A, B, or C; and any necessary elective requirements, students will
be awarded an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree in the specified
area.
ASSOCIATE DEGREE:
GRADUATION INFORMATION
The successfully completed Associate of Arts General Education pattern may be
applied to one or more Associate of Arts degrees; the successfully completed
Associate of Science General Education pattern may be applied to one or more
Associate of Science degrees.
Upon completion of graduation requirements, the major field will appear on the
student’s permanent record, all transcripts, and on the diploma. Students may
satisfy graduation requirements in effect at the first time of attendance at Ohlone
College or in effect any subsequent year they completed units. (See Catalog
Rights Policy on page 36.) Whichever catalog year is selected, all graduation
requirements must be completed within that pattern. Of the 60 units required for
graduation, 12 units must be completed at Ohlone College.
Degree applications must be submitted no later than the end of the eighth week
of the semester in which the student expects to complete requirements. Please
refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates. College transcripts of all prior
work must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Records before the
application can be processed. The three dates that may be posted on a transcript
certifying graduation are the last day of the Fall or Spring semesters or the last
day of the Summer session. There is only one formal commencement ceremony
held each year in the spring. All graduates who complete requirements during the
college year or the ensuing Summer Session are encouraged to participate in the
graduation ceremony
. Students with a cumulative grade point average in all
college work applied toward the degree between 3.20 and 3.49 inclusive will
graduate “With Honors.” All students with a cumulative GPA between 3.50 and
4.00 inclusive will graduate “With Highest Honors.” These notations will be
included on the diploma.

GENERAL EDUCATION
General Education Philosophy and Student Learning Outcomes
The three patterns of General Education courses (Plans A, B, and C) provide a
comprehensive and well-rounded education that promotes the student’s
personal, cultural, and intellectual gro
wth. Completing these courses will promote
personal awareness and growth as students adapt and grow in a changing world
with a comprehension of the past, present, and future and an enhanced ability to
address social, ethical, and philosophical issues. Students will grow culturally,
developing an appreciation of human differences and cultural heritages which
will enhance their ability to live interdependently as ethical citizens within a
culturally diverse and complex world. Finally, completing general education
courses will instill intellectual curiosity and analy
tical thinking conducive to
lifelong learning. Development of skills in such varied fields as the natural
sciences, the social sciences, fine ar
ts and humanities, English composition,
mathematics, critical thinking, foreign languages, cultural diversity, physical
education, and information competency will enable students to transfer and
apply knowledge in multiple domains and solve everyday life problems.
General Education: Plan A
Ohlone College General Education Pattern
The Plan A General Education pattern requires a minimum of 18 units in
completing an Ohlone-specific general education pattern, including cultural

requirements may also be met through the reciprocity agreement explained on
page 42. The Plan A General Education pattern is recommended for students
whose immediate goal is to complete an associate degree with either a general,
occupational, or transfer major. By coupling this pattern with an approved transfer
major, students may meet most of the lower division major preparation for
transfer within that major. In some occupational majors students may be required
to complete more than 60 units to obtain an associate degree. Students are
advised to consult with a counselor.

General Education: Plan B
California State University General Education
Breadth Requirements (CSU GE)
The Plan B General Education pattern requires a minimum of 39 units in
completing a specific CSU-approved General Education pattern. This option is
especially for students whose immediate goal is to transfer to a CSU. The Plan B
pattern is recommended for students completing one of the five approved
general majors and it enables students to meet lower division general education
requirements at a CSU. Plan B may also be coupled with either the transfer or
occupational majors; however, students may be required to complete more than
60 units to obtain an associate degree. Students are advised to consult with a
counselor.
General Education: Plan C
Intersegment
al General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
The Plan C General Education pattern requires a minimum of 35-38 units in
completing a General Education pattern acceptable at either a CSU or a UC. This
option is recommended for students whose immediate goal is to transfer to a U
C
or CSU or for students who intend to transfer but are not yet sure if they will be
going to a U
C or CSU. Plan C is generally combined with one of the five general
majors and it enables students to meet the lower division general education
requirements at either a UC or CSU. Plan C may also be coupled with either the
transfer or occupational majors; however, students may be required to complete
more than 60 units to obtain an associate degree. Students are advised to consult
with a counselor
.
General Education: Reciprocity with Community Colleges
The Ohlone Community College District has entered into a mutual agreement
with nine other local community colleges to accept the General Education of
these colleges as completed. The participating colleges are Chabot (Hayward), De
Anza College (Cupertino), Evergreen Valley College (San Jose), Foothill College
(Los Altos Hills), Gavilan College (Gilroy), Las Positas College (Pleasanton),
Mission College (Santa Clara), San Jose City College (San Jose), and West Valley
College (Saratoga).
Therefore, students who obtain a cer
tification of completion of Associate Degree
General Education or who complete an associate degree at any one of the
participating colleges will have both their General Education course work and
graduation proficiencies accepted as completed at any of the participating
campuses. No additional general education course work will be required if the
certification is officially presented. Students will still be required to complete all
courses or prerequisites needed for a major. The agreement also means that the
other colleges will accept the General Education pattern of Ohlone College if a
certification is presented to the member colleges. The agreement will be
reviewed periodically.
General Education: Exemptions
for Students with Baccalaureate Degrees
A student who has an earned degree from a regionally accredited college or
university is not required to fulfill the general education requirements to earn an
associate degree from Ohlone College.
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
In addition to degree programs, Ohlone offers two kinds of certificate programs:
the Certificate of Achievement and the Certificate of Completion.
Certificate of Achievement
Certificates of Achievement are awarded for the completion of an organized
series of courses in a particular emphasis area. These certificates have been
approved by the College faculty and the California Community College
Chancellor’s Office. Certificates of Achievement consist of 18 or more units.
Generally, these cer
tificates parallel the major course of study within an
occupational associate degree program. Thus, a student always has the option of
completing the additional general education, elective, and suppor
ting course
requirements to complete an associate degree as well.
A Certificate of Achievement will be granted to a student who meets the following
requirements:
1. Maintains a C (2.00) grade point average in the specified courses.
2. Completes satisfactorily a specific curriculum or recognized sequence of
courses as prescribed by selected faculty and/or an occupational advisory
committee, approved by the College Board of T
rustees, and published in the
applicable curriculum guide.
3. Completes six units at Ohlone College for the certificate to be awarded by
Ohlone.

An application for the Certificate of Achievement must be submitted no later than
the end of the eighth week of the semester in which the student expects to
complete the requirements. Refer to the Academic Calendar for specific dates.
Official college transcripts of all prior work must be on file in the Office of
Admissions and Records before the application can be processed.
Certificate of Completion
Certificates of Completion are awarded for the completion of an organized course
of study for a specific purpose, usually career or job related. These certificates
have been approved by the College faculty and consist of a maximum of 17 units.
Cer
tificates of Completion are designed to allow students to finish a program in
a shorter period of time. Although not as comprehensive as Certificates of
Achievement, these certificates do serve to recognize student achievement in a
particular emphasis area.
A Certificate of Completion will be granted to a student who meets the following
requirements:
1. Maintains a C (2.00) grade point average in the specified courses.
2. Completes satisfactorily a specific curriculum or recognized sequence of
courses as prescribed by selected faculty and/or an occupational advisory
committee, approved by the College Board of Trustees, and published in the
applicable curriculum guide.
3. Completes 50% of the required units at Ohlone College for the certificate to
be awarded by Ohlone.
TRANSFER TO FOUR-YEAR INSTITUTIONS
Many of Ohlone’s students transfer to a four-year college or university after
completing lower-division (freshman and sophomore level) courses at Ohlone
College. Students who are preparing to transfer need to decide where they will
transfer and what their major will be. Students who have not yet made these
decisions should meet with a counselor to explore their options, obtain relevant
information, and get help making a decision. Students are also encouraged to
utilize the publications and services available in the Student Success Center.
Counselors will work with students to complete a Student Educational Plan that
can streamline the time and number of courses students need to complete their
educational goals.
Transfer to the California State University
Students are eligible for admission as a CSU upper division transfer student if
the
y complete 60 or more transferable semester units and

deficiencies from high school;
n
Meet the eligibility index required for a CSU freshman.
Note: Students should always contact the CSU campus of choice to determine
whether there are limits on admission as a lower division transfer student.
Many majors have specific course requirements that must be met to be eligible
for admission. A higher grade point average than the minimum may also be
required. Students should consult a counselor for more information. Because the
requirements for a particular major may differ from one CSU campus to the next
and because requirements may change yearly, students should consult regularly
with a counselor when selecting classes.
Students who have completed 39 units of general education course work
required by the CSU can request that Ohlone College certify the completion of
CSU General Education. (See Plan B General Education requirements on page
41.) After students transfer they must also complete any additional upper division
or other additional units specifically required by the CSU campus. Requests for
general education certification may be obtained at the Office of Admissions and
Records and should be submitted at the end of the student’s final semester at
Ohlone College, prior to beginning courses at the transfer institution.
Students who meet specified subject area minimum requirements may request
that Ohlone certify partial certification. Students would then be required to
complete the remaining general education requirements at the transfer campus
according to its own procedures and rules.
Students who have completed courses at other institutions should meet with a
counselor to determine if those courses meet general education requirements for
transfer
. Students are responsible for providing transcripts and course
descriptions (such as catalog descriptions or class syllabi) to the Office of
Admissions and Records if they desire courses to be evaluated for possible
certification.
Courses that are transferable to the CSU have a notation next to them in both the
Class Schedule and catalog identified as “Accepted for credit at CSU” or “Accepted
for credit at CSU and UC.” Courses may be accepted as general electives, as
meeting general education requirements, or as meeting lower division major
requirements; students should see a counselor to determine how each course
will transfer. Courses without that annotation are not guaranteed to be
transferable.
The term “impacted,” when applied to a program or major, means that the major
usually attracts many more applicants than it can accept. Consequently, there are
special requirements and selection procedures for admission. Students intending
to transfer and pursue these majors should consult with a counselor and write the
transfer institution to request its most recent admissions information.
Impacted programs at a CSU campus can vary from year to year. Because there
are over 80 impacted programs at 18 different CSU campuses for 2007-2008,
students should check with the CSU of their choice before submitting an
application to see if their major is impacted. Updated information regarding
impacted programs is available online at www.calstate.edu/AR/impaction-
info.shtml.
T
r
ansfer to the Universit
y of California
Course requirements vary from one UC campus to the next; therefore, students
should work with a counselor to first select a par
ticular UC campus and then
formulate a strategy (or Student Educational Plan) for completing that campus’
admissions requirements, major preparation requirements, and appropriate
general education requirements.
Students should consult the catalog of the U
C campus of their choice to find out
specific details regarding transfer, major, and breadth requirements. All UC
catalogs are available online; in the T
ransfer Center located in Building 1, first
floor; and in the offices of individual counselors. UC transfer information can be
found online at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/.
T
o be eligible to apply for transfer as a junior, students must have completed at
least 6
0 units of U
C-transferable credit and meet specific admission
requirements. In most cases, students may transfer up to 70 semester units of
credit from a community college. At most UC campuses admission is competitive
and a grade point average higher than the 2.40 minimum is required. Many UC
campuses do not accept lower division transfers (students with less than 60 units
of transferable college credit). No more than 14 of the UC-transferable units may
be graded C
R. All courses required in a major must be taken for a letter grade.

ONE COLLEGE CATALOG
The Ohlone College Course Catalog and Class Schedule identify UC transferable
courses with the notation: “Accepted for credit at CSU and UC” next to the course
description. Some courses have credit limitations. Courses may be accepted as
general electives, as meeting general education requirements, or as meeting
lower division major requirements; see a counselor to determine how each
course will transfer
.
The term “impacted,” when applied to a program or major, means that the
program usually attracts many more applicants than it can accept. Consequently,
there are special requirements and selection procedures for admission. Students
should contact the Admissions Office at the UC campus or see an Ohlone College
counselor for admission requirements to the UC campus and desired major.
Transfer to Private and/or Out-of-State
Colleges and Universities
Each year many Ohlone college students move on to pursue their fields of
interest and earn their bachelor’s degree at private and/or out-of-state four-year
institutions. Admissions requirements and general education requirements vary
from college to college. To make transferring to a private or independent
institution as smooth as possible, students should obtain a catalog from that
institution and work closely with a counselor to plan a course of study.
INTERSEGMENTAL GENERAL EDUCATION
TRANSFER CURRICULUM (IGETC)
IGETC is a general education pattern that community college transfer students
can use to fulfill lower division general education requirements in the CSU or
many colleges in the UC system. IGETC is designed for use by California
community college students. Students who completed transfer units at a CSU,
UC, or private college should consult with a counselor to determine if they are
eligible to use IGETC. (See Plan C General Education requirements on page 47.)
IGETC is only one way to fulfill the lower division general education requirements
of the UC or CSU.
IGETC is not recommended for certain majors and certain colleges and some
colleges do not accept IGETC. IGETC is not appropriate for UC Berkeley’s College
of Chemistry, College of Engineering, College of Environmental Design, College
of Natural Resources, and the Haas School of Business; UC San Francisco; UC San
Diego’s Eleanor Roosevelt College and Revelle College; and engineering
departments at several UC campuses. Also, students pursuing majors that require
extensive lower division major preparation may not find the IGETC option to be
advantageous and may be better served by taking courses that fulfill the general
education requirements of the UC or CSU campus to which they plan transfer.
I
GETC will probably be most useful for students who want to keep their options
open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular CSU or UC
campus or choosing a par
ticular major
. I
G
E
T
C does not guarantee admission to
the university. Students must meet admissions requirements, major prerequisites,
and transferable unit requirements.
To be certified under IGETC, the entire pattern must be completed prior to
transfer. All IGETC courses must be completed with a grade of C or better (C- is
not acceptable). Students who do not complete all of the IGETC breadth and
general education requirements before transferring will be subject to the
regulations regarding breadth and general education requirements at the campus
to which the
y have been admitted. Students must request that the I
G
E
T
C
cer
tification be sent to the four-year campus the
y will be attending. This must be
done after all IGETC courses have been completed and before beginning courses
at the university.
TRANSFER PROGRAMS
Students planning to transfer to four year colleges and universities may complete
their lower division (freshman and sophomore) general education requirements
AN
D lower division major field courses while at Ohlone College. Most
transferable courses offered at Ohlone have been articulated with the University
of C
alifornia, California State Universities, and many private institutions. Students
may access www.assist.org to see which courses transfer, to which CSU and UC
campuses courses transfer, and how courses are counted. Students are
encouraged to seek the advice of a counselor in order to develop a personalized
educational plan. For information on any of these transfer programs, students
should contact the Counseling Depar
tment.
Transfer Admission Agreements (TAAs)
and Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs)
Transfer Admission Agreements (TAAs) or Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs)
are contracts between the student, Ohlone College, and a participating university.
An accepted TAA or TAG application guarantees the student admission to the
university upon completion of stated requirements. Students may be eligible for
a TAA or TAG once they have completed 30 transferable units with at least a 2.80
GPA. Interested students must meet with a counselor to complete a transfer
agreement one year prior to transferring and also formally apply to the university
during their open filing period. Students are limited to writing two TAA/TAGs per
academic year. Please visit http://www.ohlone.edu/org/transfer/taa.html for more
information.
Participating Universities:
California State University, East Bay (TAG)
California State University, Monterey Bay (TAA)
San José State University (TAA)
Santa Clara University (TAA)
University of California, Davis (TAG)
University of California, Irvine (TAG)
University of California, Merced (TAG)
University of California, Riverside (TAG)
University of California, Santa Barbara (TAG)
University of California, Santa Cruz (TAG)
Concurrent Enrollment Programs exist with the University of California, Berkeley
and California State University, East Bay. An Ohlone College student may enroll
concurrently with one of the two participating universities while still taking
courses at Ohlone College. Eligibility requirements include completion of 20 units
of transferable work and maintenance of the requisite GPA. See a counselor for
details and refer to http://www.ohlone.edu/org/ssc/transfer/concurrent-
enrollment.html for more information.
The Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP) Project
The Lo
wer-Division T
ransfer Patterns (LD
T
P) project, sponsored by the C
alifornia
State University (CSU) and supported by the California Community Colleges,
presents potential transfer students with a set of “road maps” to follo
w that will
ensure appropriate academic preparation for studies at C
SU and that will
decrease time to graduation once these students enter the CSU. The LDTP for
each discipline has a statewide as well as campus-specific components. The
statewide component of the LDTP is appropriate for any CSU campus that offers
the major and is comprised of general education coursework as well as some
courses within the discipline. The campus-specific component identifies discipline
related course
work rele
vant to the major at the specific C
S
U campus. Together
these components for an LDTP discipline will total at least 60 units, the number
needed to transfer to C
S
U as an upper-division student.
The LDTPs add another option to the transfer preparation process. LDTPs will not
replace current major articulation with CSU campuses or current TAG or TAA
admission programs. LDTP is one of many ways to prepare for study at the CSU.
F
or students who kno
w e
x
actly what major they wish to pursue and at which CSU
campus, current major preparation articulation and transfer admission
agreements are quite useful. F
or students who are initially uncertain about a
major and/or CSU campus, the LDTP provides a measure of flexibility and options
for preparation.

atisfaction of general education requirements will be cer
tified upon student request. It is
strongly recommended that students request this certification to avoid the possibility of additional course/unit requirements at the transfer
institution. Such requests should be made at the time that final Ohlone transcripts are being requested
for transmittal to a C
S
U campus. The
s
ame form (T
ranscript/General Education Request F
orm) can be used for both such requests and is available at the Office of Admissions
and Records.
After completing and being cer
tified for the 39 lo
wer division units, the student’s upper division general education will be basically
determined
by the difference between the lower division units completed in each area and the total units required by the bachelor degree-granting state
university or college.
The CSU Campus may not accept the certification if fewer than 24 general education units are completed before transfer.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT: Completion of Advanced Placement Exams may satisfy some GE requirements; see a counselor for approved
e
x
ams, acceptance scores, and equivalent courses.
