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)
