REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIPLE OCCUPATIONAL ASSOCIATE DEGREES

Requirements for Multiple Associate Degrees within Occupational Programs

To be eligible for multiple associate degrees within occupational programs at Cabrillo College, a student must satisfactorily complete all the requirements of the majors with at least a 2.0 grade point average. In general, multiple associate degrees cannot be awarded within one occupational program unless otherwise stated in the specific program description of this catalog.

If the student has not been enrolled at Cabrillo College for two or more consecutive semesters, s/he will need to meet any new general education and major requirements in effect during the academic year in which s/he returns.

REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIPLE ASSOCIATE DEGREES IN TRANSFER PROGRAMS

To be eligible for multiple associate degrees in transfer programs at Cabrillo College (or a combination of occupational and transfer program degrees), a student must satisfactorily complete all the requirements of the majors with at least a 2.0 grade point average. In addition, students must complete at least ten units in coursework specific to their major requirements (as per the suggested programs in the Cabrillo College Catalog) that are not replicated in the major requirements for any other degree they seek or possess.

If the student has not been enrolled at Cabrillo College for two or more consecutive semesters, s/he will need to meet any new general education and major requirements in effect during the academic year in which s/he returns.
