Template was approved at Fall 2010 Plenary Session.
Whereas, Title 5 §55063, Minimum Requirements for the Associate Degree, outlines specific general education requirements that each college must include for the associate degree;
Whereas, The only way for a California community college student to receive associate’s degree general education credit for an IB exam is if equivalency for a course or an associate degree general education area has been locally established;
Whereas, Many students attend more than one California community college, and IB course equivalencies may not exist or may vary greatly among the California community colleges; and
Whereas, IB general education subject area applicability exists system-wide for students completing IGETC or CSU GE Breadth;
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges develop a suggested system-wide policy template regarding the use of International Baccalaureate exams for meeting associate degree general education requirements and encourage local senates to consider this policy template for local adoption.
