Message From The Superintendent/President MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT/PRESIDENT MENSAJE DE BIENVENIDA DEL SUPERINTENDENTE/PRESIDENTE Geraldine M. Perri, Ph.D. Welcome! Welcome to Citrus College s summer semester, a perfect time to thrive and to grow! As springtime gives way to the warm glow of summer, we look forward to a season of both relaxation and productivity. Whether you are beginning your first semester here, returning to college, or continuing your academics, our dedicated faculty and staff are here to help you achieve your goals and accomplish your educational objectives. While it is true those objectives will differ for each student, such as obtaining a career/technical certificate, earning an associate degree, or transferring to a four-year institution, Citrus College offers a variety of opportunities that will help ensure your success. As such, I am excited to announce a new system the college is implementing to ensure more students are enrolled in the classes they seek: A new waitlist service that debuts this summer session and promises to make the process of enrolling in closed classes easier for all. In the past, once a class was closed there was little chance for students to add it to their schedules. The new system will allow students to place themselves on a waitlist for a specific course section on a first-come, first-in basis, immediately after a seat opens. This procedure will enable students to register for previously closed courses in an equitable manner, which may facilitate the completion of their educational goals in a timelier manner. Detailed information is provided online at /ar/waitlist. For 97 years, Citrus College has built a legacy of success and academic excellence that leads to the betterment of our students and our communities. That legacy continued this year as we learned of the college s inclusion in the Top 50 rankings of the Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, a nationally recognized journal documenting Hispanics successes in academia. We cheered the college s men s basketball team as they capped another successful season by clinching their fourth Western State Conference title in five years, making it to the state s Final Four round. Additionally, a record number of honors students from the college presented research topics at the Honors Transfer Council of California Annual Conference and Citrus College s student produced newspaper, The Clarion, won 16 awards at the state Journalism Association of Community Colleges Conference, including the highest honors at the convention, the General Excellence Award for both the print and online publications. This summer, Citrus College offers students the opportunity to earn valuable course credits through a diverse selection of classes. You have made a wise choice to spend part of your summer season with us. I wish you well in your academic endeavors. Bienvenida Bienvenido al semestre de verano de Citrus College, el momento perfecto para resaltar y crecer! Al dar paso la primavera al brillo del verano, esperamos con ansias la llegada de esta estación de relajamiento y productividad. Ya sea que empiece su primer semestre, esté regresando al colegio o continuando sus estudios académicos, nuestra facultad y personal están comprometidos a ayudarle a tener éxito en sus metas y a lograr sus planes educativos. Sabemos que los planes educativos son diferentes para cada estudiante, ya sea obtener un certificado de carrera/técnico, un título de asociado, o transferirse a una universidad de cuatro años de estudio, sin embargo, Citrus College ofrece una gran cantidad de oportunidades para ayudarle a tener éxito. Por tal razón, me es muy grato anunciar un nuevo sistema que el colegio está implementando para asegurarnos que más estudiantes se inscriban en las clases que desean: un servicio nuevo de lista de espera que hace su debut esta sesión de verano y promete hacer que el proceso de inscribirse en clases que están cerradas sea más fácil para todos. En el pasado, una vez que una clase estaba cerrada había muy poca posibilidad que un estudiante la pudiera agregar a sus clases. El nuevo sistema permite que el estudiante esté en una lista de espera para un curso específico y esté en la lista como el que llega primero, primero entra y pueda entrar a la clase inmediatamente al momento de estar disponible un lugar. Este procedimiento permite a los estudiantes inscribirse en clases cerradas dentro de un tiempo razonable, lo que facilita que terminen sus metas educativas en el tiempo que se proponen. Hay información más detallada en Internet en /ar/waitlist. Por 97 años, Citrus College ha desarrollado una legacía de éxito y excelencia académica que ha mejorado a nuestros estudiantes y a nuestras comunidades. Esa legacía continúa este año al haber sido incluidos entre los Top 50 colegios que la reconocida publicación nacional Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, documenta como los mejores clasificados por el éxito académico de los estudiantes Hispanos. Celebramos los logros del equipo de básquetbol al haber obtenido otra temporada exitosa con su cuarto título en cinco años de la Conferencia Western State, lo que nos llevo a las semifinales estatales. Además, un número récord de estudiantes en clases de honores de nuestro colegio entregaron sus temas de investigación en la Conferencia Anual de California del Concilio de Honores, y el periódico que elaboran los estudiantes, The Clarion, ganó 16 premios en la Conferencia estatal de la Asociación de Periodismo de los Colegios Comunitarios, incluyendo los premios de mayor reconocimiento en la convención, que son Premio Excelencia General tanto por la publicación impresa como el periódico digital en Internet. Este verano, Citrus College ofrece a los estudiantes la oportunidad de obtener importantes créditos con una gran selección de clases. Usted tomó una muy buena decisión al pasar parte de su verano con nosotros. Le deseo lo mejor en sus metas educativas.

Military Personnel are considered residents while stationed in California for active duty. The spouse and dependents are considered residents during the first year in which active duty began in California, but must provide proof that residency has been established thereafter. Nonresidents are those who have lived in the state for less than a year before the semester begins or those who hold certain non-immigrant visas which preclude them from establishing residency. Please note! If you hold a non-immigrant visa, a permanent visa or have applied for amnesty, please bring your passport, visa and/or I-688 form with you to the Admissions and Records Office after you apply online. International Students attending on F-1 visas are considered nonresidents. Consult the International Student Center for details concerning application and registration. Reclassification to Resident Status must be initiated by the student. Students interested in changing their classification should contact the Admissions and Records Office. Evidence of physical presence and intent to reside in the state of California for at least one year and one day prior to the semester s start date must be submitted for a residency review. Verification of Prerequisites Students are required to provide verification of how skill or course prerequisites have been met prior to their registration date. Students unable to verify how a prerequisite has been met will not be allowed to enroll in courses requiring a prerequisite. Official transcripts from other colleges may be used to verify prerequisites. Skills prerequisites must be verified through the Citrus College assessment process or the assessment process from another college. Please note: students must verify prerequisites before being allowed to add a course. Students on the waitlist will be unable to register unless prerequisites have been cleared prior to permission to add. Students wishing higher placement in English or mathematics may bring high school transcripts to the Counseling Office, which will be used in conjunction with the assessment and multiple measures process.

Financial Aid Four Easy Steps to Receiving Financial Aid STUDENTS MUST REAPPLY FOR EACH ACADEMIC YEAR Step 1. Apply: Submit the FAFSA application online at www.fafsa.gov. Once this process has been completed, students will receive a Document Tracking e-mail from the Financial Aid Office. This will notify the student of the required documents that must be submitted in order to complete the financial aid process. Step 2. Follow Up: Submit all required documentation in a timely manner, this will allow the financial aid office to review the information and process it accordingly. This step may take some time to complete, which is why it is important to submit the documents early and be patient while we complete the process. Step 3. Review: Once a student s file has been completed by the Financial Aid Office, the student will receive their Award Notification e-mail. This will inform the student of what their financial aid award will consist of for the academic year. Review this e-mail; if there are any questions regarding the information in this e-mail, feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office. Step 4. Disbursement: Now that the student has received their electronic "Award Notification," the final step is receiving the financial aid disbursement. Students will receive their financial aid grants by mail in the form of a refund check. For students that have completed the financial aid process and have received their "Award Notification" before the semester begins, they will have their Pell Grant award available in the bookstore during the first week of classes. This may be used to purchase books and other materials. The remainder will be sent out in the first refund disbursement. Important Reminders Students must activate their Citrus College e-mail account, all communication between the college and the student will be done electronically. Students must refer to the website for disbursement dates and information. The FAFSA application must be renewed each year. The application is available online on January 1 of every year. Students need to make sure that their personal information and mailing address are correct with Admissions and Records. 13
