Assumptions of College Culture

Although college is set up to address your individual needs, it also makes some ASSUMPTIONS about you based on what you write in your application and the very fact that you are NOT required to be here. Some of these expectations are written down in the college catalogue and others are not. The following links take you to information about what college instructors expect from their students and about Counseling, Assessment, Financial Aid, and other resources here at Cabrillo.


ASSUMPTION ONE: You Know Why You Are Here (Counseling & Planning Services)

ASSUMPTION TWO: You Are Prepared to Be Here (Pre- and Co-requisites, Equivalency, Challenging Courses, Credit by Exam)

ASSUMPTION THREE: You Are Self-Directed (Academic Support Services & Tutoring)

ASSUMPTION FOUR: You Know How A College Classroom Works (Classroom Etiquette and Collaboration)
