Certificates of Achievement

Any sequence of courses consisting of 18 or more semester units or 27 or more quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework shall constitute an educational program subject to approval by the Chancellor pursuant to section 55130. The college-awarded document confirming that a student has completed such a program shall be known as a certificate of achievement and may not be given any other designation. The award of a certificate of achievement is intended to represent more than an accumulation of units. Listing of the certificate of achievement on a student transcript symbolizes successful completion of patterns of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities that may be oriented to career or general education. For purposes of this subdivision, the term “general education” includes a coursework taken to satisfy transfer patterns established by the University of California, the California State University, or accredited public post-secondary institutions in adjacent states which award the baccalaureate degree.

 

A district may submit any sequence of courses consisting of 12 or more semester units or 18 or more quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework to the Chancellor and request that it be approved as a program leading to a certificate of achievement. The Chancellor may approve such a program if he or she determines that it satisfies the requirements of subdivision (a) despite requiring fewer than 18 semester or 27 quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework. (Title 5, Section 55070)
