Not all courses have the option of Pass/No Pass grading. Refer to the course description in the college catalog to see what grade modes are allowed. If you are not sure about using this grade option in terms of the transferability of the course credit, see a counselor prior to submitting this request.
Students enrolled in 10 units or more may, with instructor approval, be allowed to audit one lecture only class per term without a fee. Students enrolled in less than ten units may, with instructor approval, audit one lecture only class per term for a non-refundable fee of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per unit preterm. Priority for enrollment is given to students taking the course for credit towards a certificate or degree. Therefore, students wishing to audit may register for classes in audit status by petition only in the last two days of the add/drop period.
Laboratory and activity classes are not normally available for audit. Students are not permitted to change enrollment to receive credit for the course. Students auditing a course are not permitted to take exams or challenge the course at a later date. Instructors are under no obligation to grade assignments of students auditing a course. Attendance requirements for students auditing courses are the same as for all other students.
This petition requires permission of the instructor. You will need their first and last name and @vcccd.edu email address to enter as “Participant 2” after you have signed the petition electronically. Once the instructor signs off it is routed to Admissions & Records for processing and you will get a signed copy for your records.
All prerequisites are strictly enforced at the time of the student’s registration; a student’s registration into a class cannot be processed until the prerequisite has been cleared. All prerequisites are stated in the course descriptions in the college catalog and in the class schedule. Allow 24-48 business hours for review and processing, check your my.vcccd.edu email address for confirmation that your prerequisite has been cleared or if you need to follow additional instructions.
The purpose of Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) is to recognize a student's experience(s) and knowledge base for which credit or
advanced standing has not been previously granted. Knowledge and skills acquired through experience alone or by earning industry recognized credentials, evaluated subjectively by faculty with subject matter expertise.
Student Eligibility Criteria:
Students must be admitted to the college where the available CPL course is currently being offered and is in good academic standing.
Transcripts of all previous coursework must be on file to verify no college credit exists in more advanced subject-matter, and that no grade
was previously issued for the course. Students may petition for CPL once per course and may not be currently enrolled in the course or
have a record of previous course attempts including comparable courses at another district college.
Limitations:
CPL will only be applied to VCCCD degree programs. No more than 50% of units required for an associate degree (excluding the
Associate Degree for Transfer and UC Transfer Pathways degree, which have no limit) or Certificate of Achievement can be petitioned.
CPL does not count toward the required 12 units in residency for an associate degree. Other colleges and universities may not accept CPL
for transfer purposes, including but not limited to meeting CSU GE, IGETC, pre-major, major and/or other requirements. Units granted
through the CPL are not counted toward eligibility for athletics, financial aid, veterans benefits, selective service deferment, or Social
Security benefits.
AP/IB/CLEP: Do not use this petition. Instead, submit your official scores to Admissions and Records Office and schedule an appointment with a counselor to discuss how these will be applied to the VCCCD degree and/or certificate.
HS Articulation: Do not use this petition. Instead, contact the lead college counselor or staff member for high school articulation to confirm completion of articulated coursework and eligibility for college credit, and the credit will be applied to the degree and/or certificate.
Veterans: If you are requesting CPL credit to meet the VCCCD GE Area E or CSU GE Area E only, do not complete this form. Instead, submit the official JST or acceptable document to Admission & Records Office to receive credit. Students requesting course credit beyond the HED and PE units will need to complete this form.
Instead of offering a form for you to submit to our Counseling Department for approval of Course Repetition, we ask you to contact the department to receive advisement on the requirements outlined below. Your Counselor will submit the petition on your behalf for the Admissions & Records office to process and confirm for you. Get started here: Moorpark College Counseling Department
