Issuing Certificates
After certificate requirements are reviewed by the Admissions and Records Office, certificates are issued by the individual departments through the Office of the Dean of Career Education and Human Development. Certificates will be mailed to the address on file in the Admissions and Records Office unless students request otherwise. For more information, please contact the Office of the Dean of Career Education and Human Development at 909.389.3344.
Certificates of Achievement
Any sequence of courses consisting of 16 semester (24 quarter) units or more of degree-applicable credit coursework shall constitute an educational program subject to approval by the State Chancellor, pursuant to Title 5, 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.
A district may submit any sequence of courses consisting of 8 semester (12 quarter) units or more of degree-applicable credit coursework to the State 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, despite requiring fewer than 16 semester (24 quarter) units of degree-applicable credit coursework. (Title 5, Section 55070)
