Students must request certification from the Admissions office at the community college. For questions regarding partial certification, consult with a counselor.
Class ScheduleClass schedules are published each semester or session.
The schedule contains a listing of all courses offered during the semester or session, the day and time each class meets, the name of the instructor, the location, the room number, etc. It is necessary to consult the class schedule before registering for appropriate courses.
College CatalogThe College Catalog is published once a year. It contains
entrance and graduation requirements as well as a complete listing of programs, services, degrees, academic policies and regulations. It also includes a short description of every course offered by the college. Catalogs can be obtained from the Admissions Office, area counseling offices, or the Transfer Center.
Continuous AttendanceContinuous attendance at Coastline is defined as the
completion of at least one course during a regular semester (fall and/or spring) of each academic year.
Lower DivisionCourses at the freshman or the sophomore level of
college. Community colleges offer lower-division courses.
MajorPlanned series of courses in one particular field.
Master’s DegreeAwarded upon completion of one or two years of study
beyond the bachelor’s level.
MinorA secondary field of study outside of the major, often
requiring substantially less coursework.
Prerequisite/Corequisite/AdvisoryA prerequisite is any requirement that must be met
before registering for a specific course. A corequisite is any requirement that must be taken simultaneously with the desired course. An advisory is a recommendation (not a requirement) that should be considered when enrolling in a specific course.
Program ChangeWhen adding and dropping classes, students must
review the various deadlines and notify the Admissions office. Students must take responsibility for completing the transaction.
TranscriptA list of all courses taken at a college or university
showing the final grade received for each course. Official transcripts bear a seal of the college and signature of a designated college official and are sent directly from one institution to another.

requirements for admission to the second institution.
UnitsThe measure of college credit given a course, usually on
the basis of one unit for each lecture hour per week or for every two to three laboratory hours per week.

How to Receive College Credit
OverviewCoastline recognizes courses completed at other accredited colleges
and experiences outside of the traditional classroom setting.
.
11
College UnitsCoastline recognizes college credit, earned at any
institution of higher education, which is accredited by one of the regional accrediting associations of schools and colleges as identified by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation.
Foreign College UnitsCoastline is unable to evaluate foreign transcripts.
International students are encouraged to use the Credentials Evaluation Service provided by the International Research Foundation, Inc. Coastline will accept the official evaluation and will count the units and/or degrees toward the student’s educational program. For more information call 1 (310) 258-9451 or online at: http://www.lerf.org.
Credit by ExaminationFee: $25 per course. Students may petition for “Credit by
Examination” and receive college credit for courses listed in the Coastline Class Schedule providing:
1) The student has completed 12 units at Coastline;
2) The student is in good standing;
3) The course is appropriated for credit by examination;
4) The course is listed in the college catalog; and
5) The appropriate instructor, currently teaching the classroom course, is willing to assist the student in completing credit by examination.
The appropriate number of units will be posted to the student’s transcript upon completion of 12 units at Coastline. This credit will be designated “Credit by Examination” and will be awarded the grade of P (pass) if the student successfully passes the examination; the grade of NP (no pass) will be assigned if the student fails the examination.
Individuals who successfully complete a sequential skill course through “Credit by Examination” will receive credit for prerequisite skill courses as follows:
a. The course objective must reflect psycho/motor skill development. Examples include typing and word processing.
b. The grade of P (pass) will be assigned for each prerequisite course. Manipulation tests may be repeated without restriction. Academic courses cannot be repeated during a single semester.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)Coastline recognizes examination programs and awards
credits based on the subject area and the individuals test score. The appropriate number of units will be posted to the student’s transcript upon completion of 12 units at Coastline. Scores will only count for the Associate in Arts degree under Option I.
General ExaminationsBy successfully completing (50 or higher for computer-
based version) the general examinations with a score of 490 or higher, a student may earn up to 40 ungraded units applicable to the Associate in Arts degree under Option I as follows:
General Title Application Toward A. A. Degree Units
English Group A (English Language) 6.0
Natural Science Group B (Natural Sciences/ Mathematics) 6.0
Mathematics Group B (Natural Sciences/ Mathematics) 6.0
Humanities Group C (Arts and Humanities) 6.0
Social Science Group D (Social Sciences) 6.0
Subject ExaminationsBy successfully completing a subject examination with
a score of 50 or higher, a student may earn three ungraded units applicable to the associate in arts degree under Option I. See a counselor for the list of subject exams and credit granted at Coastline.
Some four-year colleges and universities accept only certain tests within CLEP for transfer credit. Check with the specific transfer institution for further details.
Information on CLEP can be found at: http://www.collegeboard.com or contact Education Testing Service at 1 (800) 257-9558.
Military CreditCoastline will award a maximum of 40 units of credit
for military training and experience as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE). The determined number of units will be posted to the student’s transcripts upon completion of 12 units at Coastline.
• Verification of military credits can be provided by military transcripts, including SMART (Sailor/Marine ACE Registry Transcript), AART (Army/ACE Registry Transcript System), Coast Guard Institute Transcript, DD 295 and DD 2586.
• Military credits will count towards general education, major, or elective credits for the Associate in Arts degree under Option 1.
For more information about Coastline’s Military Program, including how to obtain SOC degree evaluations, transfer opportunities, or to contact a military counselor, visit http://military.coastline.edu.

General Education Certification

Certification of General Education for Transfer to CSU or UC
Upon student request, Coastline will verify the completion of lower division general education requirements for transfer to the California State University (either the CSU general education breadth requirements or the IGETC) or the University of California (IGETC).
Courses can only be certified if they were on the CSU or IGETC approved list at the time they were taken by the student.
Students who transfer without certification will have to meet the general education requirements of the specific CSU or UC campus to which they are transferring. Meeting these requirements usually necessitates taking additional courses.
Coastline will certify courses only once. Certification is not automatic and must be requested after the completion of the last term prior to transfer. This request should be made in the Admissions office when final transcripts are requested to be sent to the transfer university.
Students requesting CSU GE Breadth certification from other colleges must complete at least 12 units at Coastline and must have official transcripts on file for these courses to be “passed along” in the certification process.
IGETC certification from other colleges is automatically certified as long as we have official transcripts on file and Coastline is the last college attended before transfer.
Transfer InformationStudents planning to transfer to a four-year college or
university should consider the following:
• A college degree is not a guarantee for a high-paying job. Success usually requires strong motivation and good study habits.
• Grades are the best indicator of success in academic work. A minimum of a “C” average is required for transfer to many four-year colleges. Grades in the major should be significantly higher.
• Each four-year college has its own admission standards and curriculum requirements. Students should decide as soon as possible on their major and on their transfer college in order to identify the courses that must be completed and the grades that must be achieved.
• By extending the time in lower-division work, it is possible to combine an occupational training program with a college transfer program.
• All college degrees require the completion of certain courses called general education or breadth requirements. The following charts indicate the transfer requirements for those colleges and universities most frequently used by Coastline students.
• Transfer agreements are subject to ongoing review and revision. The transfer agreements listed on the following charts represent agreements at the time of publication. Students may contact the Transfer Center at the Garden Grove Center or the transfer institution of their choice for current information.
Transfer Information on the World Wide WebThe official source for California articulation and student
transfer information is available on the Internet at: http://www.assist.org.
Transfer SuggestionsStudents who graduate from Coastline may transfer as
juniors to the four-year college or university of their choice upon completion of the following:
• Satisfy the lower-division general education requirements prescribed by the transfer college.
• Fulfill the lower-division major requirements prescribed by the transfer college.
• Remove any subject or grade deficiencies incurred in high school, if required by the transfer college for admission.
• Complete a total of at least 56-60 transferable units.
• Maintain the appropriate grade point average required by the transfer institution.

General Transfer Information
Planning to Transfer?www.assist.orgYour official source for Californiaarticulation and student transfer Information.
What is Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer (ASSIST)?
ASSIST is a Web-based student transfer information system which contains data about how courses taken at a California community college can be applied when transferred to a University of California (UC) or a California State University (CSU) campus.
It includes information such as:
• Articulation Agreements between all public California institutions (UC, CSU, community colleges). These are agreements between a particular community college and a four-year institution identifying comparable lower-division courses between the two institutions. These agreements are designed to help students who are preparing to transfer into a particular major at a particular institution.
• ASSIST has been adopted as the official repository of articulation for California’s public colleges and universities and therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about articulation in California. Articulation agreements with community colleges are maintained by the CSU and UC articulation officers.
• UC Transferable Courses—These agreements list courses from California community colleges that transfer to all University of California campuses.
• CSU Transferable Courses—These agreements identify courses from a community college that transfer to any CSU campus for baccalaureate/ transfer credit.
• CSU General Education Breadth Certification Courses—These agreements are lists of courses from a California community college that can be used to satisfy CSU GE-Breadth certification requirements.
• Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC Courses)—IGETC agreements are lists of courses from a community college that apply to the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum requirements.
Strategies for Successful Transfer
Identify your Major• Enroll in Counseling C100 and/or C105• Meet with a counselor to explore different major
options• Attend University Transfer Event held each fall• Check out Exploring Majors on www.assist.org• Explore Majors on the Eureka information system
Choose a University• Visit the Coastline College Transfer Center• Meet with University reps at scheduled visits• Attend college fairs; preview days; open houses• Participate in campus tours• Check out college Web sites
Determine Requirements• Identify the minimum Grade Point Average (GPA)• Identify the best general education pattern to follow
(IGETC, CSU, GE, other)• Identify major preparation requirements• Visit www.assist.org• Review college catalogs and Web sites
Develop a Transfer Plan• Meet with a counselor regularly to help you develop
and maintain your educational plan• Include general education courses and lower-division
major requirements • Be aware of application deadlines for admission,
financial aid, and scholarships• Don’t be afraid to ask for help
20
Transfer CenterTo educate and assist transferring students, the Transfer
Center provides a variety of transfer support services, resources, and special events: academic and educational advisement; guidance in selecting a transfer institution; individual appointments with transfer counselors and university representatives; walk-in assistance; college fairs sponsored every semester; University Transfer Event held annually this fall; transfer application and workshops; university campus tours; university catalog library and selection of reference books and materials. We are located at the Garden Grove Center.
Requirements for Transfer StudentsLower-Division Preparatory Major Courses—An area
of specialization is called a major. Courses normally taught in the first or second year of college are usually described as lower division. Some majors require specific lower-division courses for transfer admission to the major. Some majors also require a higher grade-point average than that designated for general admission to the university. Students planning to transfer should fulfill the lower-division major requirements prescribed by the transfer institution.
Transferability of CoursesStudents generally can transfer a maximum of 70 units
to a four-year college or university. Coastline Community College courses that are numbered C100-C299 are university parallel courses and are generally offered for transfer. Coastline Community College courses that are numbered lower than C100 are not designed for transfer. Since below 100 level courses are not ordinarily offered in four-year colleges/universities, they are rarely applicable to the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.
All Coastline Community College courses numbered C100-C299 are at a minimum, accepted as elective units by all CSU campuses. Many of these courses also fulfill general education and/or major preparation requirements at individual CSU’s. However, not all courses numbered 100 level and above are transferable to UC campuses, or to private four-year colleges/universities. It is important to work with a counselor to insure that the courses you take are transferable to the four-year college/university you plan to attend, and to also insure that they meet the requirements you are working to fulfill prior to transfer. For more information, visit www.assist.org.
Transfer Terminology• Articulation Agreement—A written agreement that
lists courses at one college that are equivalent (or acceptable in lieu of) courses at another college.
• Certification—The indication of the completion of the entire pattern of general education for California State Colleges and Universities (either the CSU General Education Breadth requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) or completion of the pattern for the University of California (the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum). Students must request that the admissions office at their community college indicate completion on their transcripts.
• Pass/No Pass—A form of grading whereby a student receives a grade of P or NP instead of an A, B, C, D, or F. A P is assigned for class work the equivalent of a grade of C or above.
• Elective—Courses which are not required for the major or general education but which are acceptable for credit. An elective course may be in the student’s major area of study or any department of a college.
• General Education Requirements—A group of courses, in varied areas of the arts and sciences, designated by a college as one of the requirements for a degree.
• Impacted Major/Campus—When the number of applications received is expected to be larger than the number of spaces available. Additional criteria are then considered in making an admission decision and students must apply during a specified time period.
• Lower Division—Courses at the freshman or sophomore level of college. Community colleges offer lower-division courses.
• Major—Planned series of courses in one particular field designed to develop special skills or expertise.
• Minor—A secondary field of study outside of the major, often requiring substantially less course work.
• Upper Division—Courses at the junior or senior level of college.

COASTLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2009-2010 IGETC Transfer Plan (CSU or UC)
Option 3: General Education RequirementsDesigned for students who are planning to transfer to a university in the CSU or UC system. However, it may be appropriate for transfer to some independent colleges. In addition to the General Education requirements below, students must complete additional requirements for the Associate in Arts Degree listed in the catalog.
Complete at least 37 units in the specific courses listed in Groups A – E. Students may select courses from any sub-area under each specific group. One course may not be used to satisfy more than one general education requirement; however, the same course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a requirement for the major or Area of Emphasis. Student may also double-count courses for the Global and Multicultural Studies Requirement.

A. Completing two years of a foreign language in high school with a grade of C or better
B. Earning a minimum score of 550 on an appropriate College board Achievement Test in a foreign language
C. Completing a foreign language course numbered C180 (five units) or higher level course
American Institutions Requirements: Both the California State University and the University of California have a specific American institutions requirement that is separate from their general education requirements. Completion of the IGETC will satisfy the American institutions requirement. Courses used to meet the CSU and UC American institutions requirement may not be used to satisfy Areas 3 or 4 below.
Partial Certification of IGETC: The IGETC provides a pattern of courses that fulfills the transfer general education requirements at both the University of California (UC) and the California State University (CSU). Each California community college offers a complete set of courses that satisfy IGETC. If you attend more than one community college, the campus you attend just prior to transfer will certify your completion of IGETC, including courses taken at other colleges. The IGETC pattern is not recommended for all majors. Please check with a counselor. Partial certification of the IGETC is possible due only to extraordinary circumstances. The student should consult a counselor for guidelines and petition.

American Institutions RequirementsBoth the California State University and the University of
California have a specific American institutions requirement that is separate from their general education requirements. Completion of the IGETC will not satisfy the American Institutions Requirement. Courses used to meet the CSU and UC American Institutions requirement may not be used to satisfy Areas 3 or 4.
Students Transferring to CSU—Should take Political Science C100 and History C170 or C175.
Students Transferring to UC—Should consult the catalog of the campus they wish to attend to determine the course(s) needed to meet this requirement.
Foreign Language (UC only)This requirement may be fulfilled by one of the following
methods:
A. Completing two years of a foreign language in high school with a grade of C or better;
B. Earning a minimum score of 550 on an appropriate College Board Achievement Test in a foreign language;
C. Completing a foreign language course numbered C180 (5 units) or C180AB (5 units) or higher-level course.
IGETC Guidelines for UC-Bound TransfersThis information is intended to serve as a guideline for
advising UC-bound transfers about IGETC exceptions. Since each student’s circumstances differ, a Coastline counselor will help you to evaluate whether using the IGETC makes good sense based on your background, and choice of campus and major.
Berkeley—IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science, and it is highly recommended. The Colleges of Engineering, Environmental Design and Chemistry,
and the Haas School of Business have extensive, prescribed major prerequisites. In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges.
Although IGETC satisfies breadth requirements for most majors in the College Natural Resources, specific lower-division major requirements must still be satisfied; check with the college or visit the ASSIST Web site (www.assist.org) for more information.
Davis—Anyone preparing for a bachelor of science is advised not to pursue the IGETC, and instead to concentrate on major-specific preparatory work.
Irvine—All schools accept IGETC. However, selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major.
Los Angeles—The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does not accept IGETC.
Merced—The Schools of Engineering and Natural Sciences do not recommend the IGETC.
Riverside—The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering and the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences do not accept the IGETC, although any courses taken to satisfy the IGETC may be applied toward the college’s breadth pattern. UCR’s College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences accepts the IGETC.
Santa Barbara—Transfer students in the College of Letters and Science and the College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements.
Transfer students in the College of Engineering may also use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. In addition to general education, all students in the College of Engineering are required to complete a depth requirement. Students who wish to satisfy the depth requirement prior to transfer must complete a yearlong sequence in the history of world civilization, history of Western civilization, history of Western philosophy or history of Western art. Students may want to choose courses for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth requirement with upper-division coursework after transferring.
Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science or the biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower-division major prerequisites to ensure competitiveness and make normal, timely progress through their major.
Santa Cruz—Transfer students intending to pursue any major in the physical and biological sciences or the Jack Baskin School of Engineering should not follow IGETC because it will not provide them with enough lower-division preparation for their majors.
San Diego—IGETC is accepted at Earl Warren, John Muir, and Thurgood Marshall and Sixth colleges only. Students completing the IGETC are welcomed at Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle Colleges. However, they must also fulfill the specific general education requirements of those colleges. At UCSD, all majors are available to students in each college, so students who choose the IGETC will not be restricted in their choice of major, unless the major is impacted.

Foreign Language Skill LevelMany USC students must pass a third semester course (or
fifth quarter) of a foreign language with a passing grade (C- or higher), or pass USC’s placement examination at a level equivalent to third semester competency. Students who do not finish their third semester (or fifth quarter) before transferring to USC must take USC’s placement examination to determine their level of competency. If the exam score indicates placement into a level which the student has already completed, the student will be advised (but not required) to repeat the course at USC for no additional credit. Therefore, if your major requires the foreign language skill level and if you have started taking a foreign language, you are advised to complete the requirement before transferring to USC.
International students whose native language is not English are exempt from the foreign language requirement.

Teaching as a Career
37
The Teacher Shortage is Far From OverDespite the current economic climate, education
budget cuts, and teacher lay-offs we hear about in the news, according to California Labor Market information there is a faster than average expected growth rate (19.7% +) for elementary and middle school teachers. There is an average expected growth rate (9.6%-19.6%) for high school teachers. (http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/)
Since 2001, Coastline has been at the forefront of community college participation in addressing an anticipated teacher shortage, and we expect to continue to provide innovative and quality teacher preparation options for many years to come. Students are advised to consult with a counselor and the TEACh3 office for information on pathways leading to a classroom-teaching career. The following information is based on the most recent information available at press time and does not constitute an official agreement.
CredentialsIn order to teach in a California public school a credential
must be earned. A credential is California’s certification that all teacher preparation requirements as set by the state have been met. There are several credential pathways and it is advisable to explore all available avenues. Most importantly, as a result of expected state and university decisions in the implementation of the federal law known as “No Child Left Behind,” some credential requirements have been modified and will be modified. Stay informed and be prepared for changes.
California has a two-tier credential structure. A five-year preliminary credential is the first credential issued after an individual meets basic credential requirements. A professional clear credential is issued by the school district where the teacher is working after a two-year district induction program has been completed.
Preliminary CredentialTo earn a preliminary credential which is valid for five
years, the following requirements must be met:
• Bachelor’s Degree or higher from a regionally accredited university;
• A program of professional preparation (education classes and student teaching);
• Completion of subject matter preparation (a major) and passing of a subject matter examination in the area in which the candidate wants to teach. For aspiring elementary school teachers this would be the CSET;
• A course (Pol Sc C100) or a test on the U.S. constitution;
• Passing score on the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) and/or CSET writing exam, depending on the credential. Check with the credential-granting institution for updates on requirements.
• A certificate of clearance issued by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. This is a fingerprint check to determine clearance regarding a criminal conviction;
• Completion of a teaching of reading course;
• Completion of a Level 1 and Level 2 computer technology course. (Coastline’s EDUC C103 meets the technology proficiency for Level 1).
Professional Clear CredentialIndividuals who complete a teacher preparation program
and receive a five-year preliminary credential usually seek a Professional Clear Credential. Requirements for the Professional Clear Credential, as prescribed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, consist of two options—a professional teacher induction program or national board certification.
Multiple Subject Teaching CredentialThe California Commission on Teacher Credentialing
Web site www.ctc.ca.gov is also the primary resource for complete, current information on the numerous kinds of credentials and authorizations that can be earned in California and the requirements for each. For example: preparing to teach in a self-contained classroom typical of the elementary grades, an individual would normally pursue the multiple subject credential. All students entering a multiple subject credential program must demonstrate broad mastery of the multiple subjects normally taught by elementary school teachers. Students can no longer demonstrate subject matter mastery through what was formerly called a waiver program, where a liberal studies examination was waived through completion of a specific set of courses.
The CSET; the exam required for multiple subject credentials, has three parts: Part I— Reading, Language and Literature, History and Social Sciences; Part II—Science and Mathematics; Part III Physical Education, Human Development, Visual and Performing Arts. If a CBEST waiver is desired, a writing exam is also required. Completion of a subject matter preparation program in Liberal Studies or related major is one of the best ways for prospective elementary school teachers to prepare for and to pass the CSET.
Single Subject Teaching CredentialA person planning to teach in a middle school or high
school would pursue a single-subject teaching credential. Single subject credential candidates concentrate on two basic areas: (1) knowledge of the subject area(s), (2) how to teach it. The State of California will not issue a credential to an individual unless he/she can demonstrate knowledge and competence in the subject area(s) identified on the credential, which can be documented in one of two ways:
(1) Completion of a state approved subject matter preparation program or
(2) By passing the set of state-approved exams for the subject area.
38
Foundational Math Credential The Foundational Math Credential allows teaching in
General Math, Algebra, Geometry, Probability and Statistics, and Consumer Math at any grade level as long as it is a departmentalized classroom setting. To qualify for a Single Subject Teaching Credential as an added authorization in foundational math the requirements are as follows:
1. Multiple Subject Teaching Credential must be valid at the time at time of application for the Single Subject Teaching Credential;
2. You must be able to verify subject-matter competence in Foundational Mathematics. (Taking and passing the CSET exams for Foundational Mathematics can do this).
3. The student is required to complete a three semester, or four quarter, unit methodology course directly related to teaching in a departmentalized classroom.
Education Specialist CredentialTo be authorized to teach K-12 in a special education
environment an individual would pursue an Education Specialist Credential. Education Specialist areas of specialization include Mild/Moderate Disabilities, Moderate/Severe Disabilities, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Visual Impairments, Physical and Health impairments, and Early Childhood Special Education. While upcoming federal legislation may change requirements, current policy includes the CSET for single or multiple subjects.
Education specialist candidates must choose one of two preparation pathways to meet subject matter competency, depending on the desired employment setting—elementary or secondary school.
For education specialist interested in teaching in a multiple subject setting (K-6), there is one option:
• Successful passage of the California Subject Matter Exam for Teachers (CSET), Multiple Subject www.cset.nesinc.com
For education specialist interested in teaching a single subject setting (7-12), there are two options:
• Successful completion of a Single Subject Matter Preparation Program
• Successful passage of the appropriate Content Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) www.cset.nesinc.com. Recommended contentareas include Math (FLM or full), English/Language Arts, or Science.
Visit http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/teach_special_ed.html for more information.
Credential Add-onsThe Commission on Teacher Credentialing authorizes
other credential add-ons, such as the BCLAD credential which focuses on bilingual education and methods of teaching two languages, the culture of the specific population of emphasis, and language (comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing the particular language of emphasis). Useful Web sites: http://www.ced.csulb.edu/teacher-ed/academic/bclad/spanish/index.cfm and http://www.ced.csulb.edu/teacher-ed/academic/bclad/asian/index.cfm.

Subject Matter AuthorizationsThe CCTC has introduced Introductory and Specific
Subject Matter Authorizations as an option to meet specific requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act. One option requiring additional coursework for a subject matter authorization does not distinguish between upper and lower-division units and requires 32 semester units total regardless of whether the units are upper or lower division. This means that all the courses may be taken, if available, at a community college. There are specific core subject requirements for each authorization that must be completed within those units. The rules and regulations here are very complex. Students are advised to always check with their credential granting institution and the CCTC
39
regarding course selection. Additional information can be fount at:
http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/CREDS/ sup-subject-matter-auth.html
http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/CREDS/ add-cred-auth.html.
Supplementary AuthorizationsHolders of Single Subject, Standard Secondary, or
Special Secondary Teaching Credentials may have one or more of subjects added to their credential as a supplementary authorization by verifying completion of specific requirements including the completion of either 20 semester units (if a combination of upper- and lower-division units) or 10 upper-division semester units of non-remedial coursework in the subject. It is important to note that the CCTC still issues supplemental authorizations, but this addition to an existing credential does not automatically meet the federal “highly qualified teacher” requirement as set by “No Child Left Behind” except under specific circumstances. It is advisable to check with the CCTC before registering for courses to meet supplemental authorization requirements and to have available a complete transcript history as well as course descriptions when discussing the particulars with a CCTC credential specialist. More information can be found at http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/CREDS/sup-subject-matter-auth.html.
Community College Teaching: No specific credential is required. The traditional route in an academic field is to obtain a master’s degree or doctorate in the subject. In some technical fields, work experience plus some formal education may be considered equivalent.
College and University Level Teaching: No credential is required. The traditional preparation for teaching in an academic subject is an earned doctorate in the subject. In many applied or creative fields, knowledge of the subject field may qualify an individual.
Paraprofessionals: Qualifications and requirements for Paraprofessionals working as teacher assistants vary according to school district. The No Child Left Behind law now requires that paraprofessional aides must have completed ONE of the following:
• An A.A. degree, or higher, from a recognized college or university or
• Two years of college (48 semester units) or
• Passing score on a state /or district assessment that measures knowledge of and the ability to assist in instructing, reading, writing, and mathematics, or the knowledge of and the ability to assist in instructing, reading readiness, writing readiness, and mathematics readiness, as appropriate.
Keeping NCLB requirements in mind, Teacher Aides may find of special interest Coastline’s Certificate in Educational Studies or Coastline’s online offerings as part of the
Paraprofessional Special Education Certificate with CSUF and other participating community colleges.
Pre-School Teaching: Information on the various permits required for employment in California preschools can be found at http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/cl797.html. Coursework required for these permits can be found at http://www.glendale.edu/cdc/credentialingpermit.htm. Although Coastline does not offer a stand-alone child development permit in its repertoire of certificate offerings, many of the required courses can be taken at Coastline. Of particular interest to Coastline students are the ECE required courses offered through distance learning, which include Education C180 (School, Family, Community Partnerships), Psychology C115 (Child, Growth, and Development), English C177 (Children’s Literature), Introduction to Special Education (under development), and for the Social Sciences requirement: Health Education C100.
Important Teaching Program InformationCSUF holds monthly information sessions for both single
and multiple subject candidates. Interested students are encouraged to attend. More information can be found at http://www.fullerton.edu/cct/Seminars/semsch.htm.

Liberal Studies Major(For Teaching)
Coastline’s Liberal Studies/Teaching Specialization A.A. Degree
The Liberal Studies/Teaching Specialization A.A. Degree offers future elementary school teachers an articulated transfer pathway and career ladder for a B.A. in Liberal Studies and the multiple-subject teaching credential. The focus of the degree is on content knowledge needed to teach in a K-8 setting and education courses that include early fieldwork opportunities for observation and practice. Coursework prepares students for the Multiple Subject CSET exam as required by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for elementary school teachers in
both regular and special education. As a stand-alone degree without transfer the A.A., aligned with the requirements for No Child Left Behind, helps students become effective elementary school paraprofessionals in regular or special education classrooms. The degree is also appropriate for students pursuing a career other than in elementary school teaching (such as tutors and parents providing home schooling) but would like their course of studies and degree recognition to include an emphasis in liberal studies and teacher preparation curricula. Students may select courses to simultaneously earn the Certificate in Educational Studies as well.

\Fifth Year Approach: (Post-Bac) / Traditional Multiple Subject or Single Subject Preparation Programs
Coastline has articulation agreements with several state approved teacher education programs. This is the traditional pathway towards a credential in California where following a B.A., an individual enters a 5th year credential program which includes two or three semesters of specified coursework and student teaching. This sometimes is combined with a Master’s degree. A student can complete lower-division and pre-major requirements at Coastline and then transfer to a participating university to complete the B.A. and 5th year credential program.
Other Transfer Pathways
Information on Cal State Teach can be found at http://www.calstateteach.org/home.html. Of special interest may be the Distance Learning model where participants use online, print and CD-ROM materials and share ideas through web-based class discussions. Students also receive professional feedback through on-site coaching as well as personal guidance from mentor teachers at their school site and from CSU faculty.
Other PathwaysOther pathways include pre-internships and internship
programs.
