The Sierra College Catalog provides important information on the
courses offered at our college, transfer and graduation
information, and campus policies.
For complete information including current dates and course
listings, please use the Catalog in conjunction with the
current Class Schedule.
Catalog Rights
Sierra College issues a new catalog every academic year. New
programs may be introduced and course requirements for specific
majors may change from one catalog to the next. For purposes of
meeting Sierra College degree and/or certificate requirements,
students may choose from the following Sierra College catalog
options:
The catalog in effect at the time the student first enrolled at
Sierra College or any year thereafter, as long as continuous
enrollment has been maintained;
The catalog in effect at the intended semester/session of
graduation; or
The catalog in effect at the time the student first enrolled at a
California community college, a California State University, a
University of California campus, and/or a regionally accredited
institution of higher education, as long as continuous enrollment
has been maintained.
Continuous enrollment is defined as enrollment in at least one
course per calendar year (spring, summer, fall), with at least
one of the following academic record symbols recorded on an
official transcript: A, B, C, D, F, W, MW, P, NP, or I. Students
beginning enrollment during the summer have the option of
choosing the prior academic year’s catalog.
If continuous enrollment is interrupted, students may reestablish
catalog rights based on the date of re-enrollment at Sierra
College or any other California community college, CSU, UC
campus, or regionally accredited institution of higher education.
Regardless of catalog rights, a course may be used to satisfy a
general education requirement if it was approved for the general
education area at the time the course was successfully completed
and the course complies with Title 5 regulations.
Catalog rights do not apply to entrance requirements for programs
(e.g., Nursing).
