2. A minimum grade of “C” or better is required in each English, reading and math course, as well as each course taken to complete Major requirements.
3. A minimum of 12 units must be completed at Cerro Coso Community College.
*NOTE: Courses may not be used to satisfy more than one General Education requirement except in the area of Diversity.
MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
Satisfactory completion of at least 18 semester units of study in a specific discipline or in related disciplines. Course work used to satisfy general education requirements can also be used to satisfy major field requirements and must be completed with a grade of “C” or better.
a. Associate of Arts degree: a general education major consisting of a program of study intended primarily to
prepare the student for transfer to a four-year institution.
b. Associate of Science degree: a science or occupational/career major consisting of a program of 18 or more units of
designated courses representing a single area of concentration.
GRADUATION EVALUATION
It is the student’s responsibility to meet with a counselor to request a Graduation Evaluation and Petition to Graduate during
the semester that they plan to finish their degree requirements.
Official transcripts of any coursework completed at an institution other than Cerro Coso must be on file prior to completion
of a Graduation Evaluation.
*NOTE: These are NOT the general education requirements for transfer. If you plan to transfer to a four-year institution,
please contact a counselor.
CATALOG RIGHTS Students graduating within five (5) academic years of initial enrollment shall have the option of completing either: (a) the degree require-ments of the College catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment; or (b) any set of revised degree requirements published in a subsequent Cerro Coso catalog. Students graduating more than five (5) academic years after initial enrollment must adhere to the specific degree requirements in effect in any Cerro Coso catalog within the five-year period prior to the students’ graduation. To maintain catalog rights, the student must maintain continuous enrollment (no absence of two or more semesters) during the five (5) year period. Catalog rights apply only to Cerro Coso graduation and program requirements. If other institutions change their requirements for entrance, graduation, satisfaction of general education patterns, or in other ways it may be necessary for the student to meet the new requirements upon transfer, even if continuous enrollment has been maintained.
ADDITIONAL ASSOCIATE DEGREES Students who hold one Associate degree may qualify for another degree under the conditions that they: 1. Complete all current graduation general education requirements, either through acceptance of previous college credits or
by additional course work, and
2. Complete all required major field courses in a recognized general major or occupational/career program as outlined in this
catalog. If a student meets the foregoing prerequisites, a second degree may be awarded upon completion of a minimum of
18 units subsequent to the completion of the requirements for the previous degree.
**Two degrees may be awarded to a student within the same semester if all requirements for both degrees are completed within that same semester. Note: A.A. degree graduates from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) are eligible to earn an A.A. degree from Cerro Coso.
COUNSELING The college counseling staff provides assistance to each student in planning an academic program of studies for graduation, for transfer, or for personal interest. The rapid changes in requirements and prerequisites for institutions and careers make continuing guidance a necessary part of students’ academic lives. All students are encouraged to define educational objectives and plan how to achieve them. Counselors can also provide students with special counseling and guidance in matters pertaining to adjustment to college, help in improving study skills, and career planning. Counselors are available for assistance before and during each semester on a drop-in or appointment basis for both day and evening students. Call your local Counseling Center to arrange to meet with a counselor or educational advisor.

Special Services Programs and Services Cerro Coso Community College
Room 350 384-6250
Special Services includes three programs serving three distinct populations of students:
The Extended Opportunity Program and Services (EOPS) targets the under-represented student. The program assists students who have a financial need and who would not consider themselves being able to take advantage of a college education because they have not completed high school, had a low grade point average in high school, parents never attended college, or have cultural barriers. The EOPS program provides an extensive counseling support system to acclimate the student to the college environment with additional support services of tutoring, campus activities, assigned counselors, and peer mentors. In addition, the EOPS program supports the student financially through a book voucher system for required textbooks.
The CARE Program is a supplemental program to EOPS for single parents
on CalWORKs. In addition to the support from EOPS, the CARE program provides single parents with workshops, additional school supplies, gas vouchers, babysitting for study time, and a club that helps support the single parent through networking with other single parents coming to college.
The Disabled Student Program and Services (DSPS) provides
accommodations for students with disabilities. This includes interpreters for the deaf, textbooks in Braille, adaptive computer software, assigned learning assistants to develop study skill strategies, mobility assistance, tutors, scribes, note takers, etc. This program supports access to higher education for the disabled without compromising the rigor and integrity of a college education. Each individual receiving support through the DSPS program must have a verified disability.
