lege -level courses in this catalog. Prerequisites are courseswhich the student is advised to complete with a " C" or better

in. Failure to attend class can result in a lower grade or dismissalfrom class.

A student establishes a priority in a class upon registration, which is contingent upon attending the first scheduled classmeeting. Any registered student who fails to attend the firstmeeting of the class forfeits any priority in that class and may bedropped from the roll in order to accommodate any studentwishing to register in the class.

When, in the instructor' s opinion, a student' s absences in a

specific class preclude the successful completion of the course

requirements, he/ she may be dropped from the class. In theevent of extenuating circumstances such as verified illness, accident or conditions beyond the control of the student, the

instructor may allow the student to continue under specialarrangement.

a rapidly changing world. It enables the student to acquirecertain basic principles and concepts that are a part of all disciplines. It recognizes the student's right to an education that will

University of California (UC) System

The nine University of California campuses welcome community college transfer students. UC campuses support a " transfercore curriculum," however, each of the nine campuses and theindividual majors have unique requirements. Students planningto transfer to a UC campus should see the Merced College/ UC

counselor as soon as possible and work closely with the UCrepresentative in the Transfer Center in planning an appropriateprogram of study.

Private Colleges and Universities

There are approximately 112 independent or private schoolsin the State of California not supported by state tax revenues. They vary greatly in programs offered, size, and number oftransfer students. Each school acts autonomously, evaluatingcoursework on an individual basis. To obtain specific transferinformation, contact the Office of Admissions at the school to

which you wish to transfer. A Merced College counselor can helpyou plan your transfer program.

Course Equivalency

For students who have attended Columbia College, Modesto

Junior College, or San Joaquin Delta College, the generalbreadth courses completed at any of those institutions for anA. A. or A. S. degree will be accepted at Merced College in lieu of

Merced College graduation requirements.

Merced College, as a member of the Higher Education Con-

sortium of Central California ( HECCC), has a course equivalency

plan in place. Additional information concerning courseequivalency may be obtained in the Transfer Center.

Intersegmental General EducationTransfer Curriculum

The Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates approved the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curricu- lum ( IGETC), implemented in Fall, 1991. The IGETC is a series of

courses, that community college students can use to satisfylower division general education requirements at any CSU or UCcampus. The IGETC will provide an option to the California StateUniversity General Education Requirements and will replace theUniversity of California Transfer Core Curriculum.

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum

will permit a student to transfer from a community college to acampus in either the California State University or the Universityof California system without the need, after transfer, to take

additional lower -division, general education courses to satisfycampus general education requirements.

Completion of the IGETC is not a requirement for transfer to a

CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower -division, general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. Students may find it advantageous to take courses fulfillingCSU' s general education requirements or those of a particularUC campus.

Detailed information on IGETC is available. Interested students should contact a counselor or the Transfer Center forfurther information.

An advisor should be consulted to• make certain that major

prerequisites are being fulfilled: rIt

is advisable. for students to work closely with a counselor in planningtheir transfer programs for elementary teaching. Engineering

Widelydiversified professional ' engineering programs' are availableat California universities: - Merced College offers the first
