Student Services Summer Session: Full-time is considered 4 units in a six-week course or 6 units in an eightweek course. Veteran’s taking a course that lasts less than a semester will be paid only for the actual enrollment period. If the veteran receives an “F” or “W” grade for non-attendance, he or she will be liable to repay the VA from the date he or she stopped participation in the class. Continuing and returning students who were previously enrolled for VA assistance and wish to continue to receive benefits must submit a Veteran’s Statement of Responsibility Form to the Financial Aid Office each semester. It is the veteran’s responsibility to promptly notify the Financial Aid Office of any change of program, which would affect his or her VA assistance. Veterans may be awarded 3 units of credit for the healthful living and physical education requirement of graduation by submitting an application for credit and a copy of their DD214, verifying 180 days active military duty, to the Enrollment Services Office. Students who are on active military duty and have completed boot camp may apply to receive the credit. This must be done upon admission to the college.
Veterans Academic Progress Veterans who remain in a probationary status for more than two terms without improvement in their academic standing, will not be certified without verification that the student has been counseled concerning consequences of further violations of the college’s academic or progress policy.

Catalog Rights Certificate and degree requirements are regularly reviewed and may undergo change while a student is pursuing a degree or certificate. A student has the right to graduate based upon the requirements of any one catalog in effect while they are continually enrolled as defined above. If there is a break in attendance, the student surrenders rights under previous catalogs, and must meet the requirements in effect when the student re-enters, or any one catalog which is in effect during continuous enrollment from the date of re-entry to the date of graduation. Any time there is a break in attendance, the student’s catalog rights begin again with re-entry. NOTE: While the student may graduate based on any one of the catalogs in effect during their continuous enrollment, all of the requirements in that one catalog must be met. In the event that required courses have been discontinued, students may petition for substitution. Petitions are available in the Enrollment Services Office. Students may not combine requirements from more than one catalog to satisfy the graduation requirements. The catalog that creates the best opportunity for the student to satisfy requirements to receive the degree or certificate requested will be selected. The Board of Trustees, on recommendation of the president and faculty of the college, is authorized to confer the associate of arts degree and the associate in science degree. The requirements for graduation with either degree represent both minimum state requirements and the firm commitment of Mt. San Jacinto College to the principles of general education. Requirements are designed to develop the full potential of each student, broaden his or her outlook and provide the basis for exemplary citizenship.
Continuous Attendance Graduation requirements contained in this catalog apply to students during the 2006-2007 college years. Continuous attendance is defined as attendance in at least one semester excluding summer sessions each calendar year (January 1December 31) as indicated on a permanent record at any accredited college.
