Catalog Description

1. In the Description field, enter the full description of the program as you want it to appear in the catalog and Program Report. Anything you enter in this field appears above PSLOs in the final report.

2. In the Admission Requirements field, which appears below PSLOs in the final report, you can include any additional information related to admission or exist requirements. Also be sure to include here as the last line, the minimum completion time. Use these standard sentences:

  • MAJORS: “Assuming students start this AA or AS with transfer‐level math and English eligibility, the minimum time for completion is 4 semesters. Completion time will vary based on student preparation and number of units completed per semester.” Choose AA or AS as appropriate.
  • CERTIFICATES: “The minimum time for completion of this certificate is X semesters. Completion time will vary based on student preparation and number of units or classes completed per semester.” Replace X with minimum number of semesters.

**AVOID REFERENCES TO NUMBER OF PROGRAM UNITS OR COURSES IN ANY PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.**

NOTE: These fields are rich-text, which can be formatted using the provided toolbars. PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION HOWEVER to the font type and size and ensure they are set to "inherited font" and "inherited size" for all your content (otherwise your program description report will not be consistent with college formatting standards).
