  3. Overview • Definitions: Reciprocity & Course Substitution • Certificates & Degrees • General Education Patterns • Associate Degree for Transfer – ADT’s • Best Practices • Tools of the Trade/Resources NOV 2017

  4. Reciprocity Merriam-Webster Dictionary: REC-I-PROC-I-TY (res-uh-pros-i-tee): noun. a situation or relationship in which two people or groups agree to do something similar for each other. Colleges that adopt a reciprocity policy honor the ways in which courses are used at other community colleges when certifying that course work at their college. NOV 2017

  5. Course Substitution A course substitution takes the place of a required course in a curriculum, provided it does not compromise the integrity of the course and/or program outcomes. NOV 2017

  6. Example: ADT – Bus Admin List AMathematics ComponentCourse Sub: Calculus 1 for Business Calculus? NOV 2017

  7. Certificates & Degrees Reciprocity Typically based on course-to-course comparability with local discipline faculty deciding course substitution and/or reciprocity agreements. However, now C-ID designations trump local discipline decisions. Future: more CTE C-ID course descriptors. NOV 2017

  15. Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)ASCCC Reciprocity Statement NOV 2017

  16. 2013 Reciprocity Document Primary Message . . . the ASCCC urges colleges to allow all reasonable course substitutions that are consistent with the parameters of the TMCs. NOV 2017

  17. Reciprocity Statement: Guides • Pass along/accept courses as part of another college’s ADT that are deemed reasonable; • Maintain local control for course substitutions; • Where C-ID descriptors are not in place and/or where the substitution does not involve deeming two courses comparable, make informed course substitution decisions by the judgment of discipline faculty NOV 2017

  18. Reciprocity Statement: Guides Ensure substitutions are consistent with the TMC parameters (some TMCs allow more flexibility in course substitutions than others); Apply external sources of credit: (e.g. AP, IB, CLEP) toward the GE and major. Use statewide documents and local policies for such determinations; and, Credit by Exam: Utilize existing local credit by exam policies. NOV 2017

  19. S16 ASCCC Resolution Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges develop by Spring 2017 resources that provide guidance to local senates on effective practices for the appropriate use of course substitutions by students who have transferred between colleges and who intend to earn an Associate Degree for Transferwhile ensuring that the integrity of the degree is not compromised.
