REPEATABILITY: Academic Senate of California Community Colleges - ASCCC Fall Plenary Session 2024 Resolutions
*+114.02 F24 Work Experience Education Course Repeatability
Whereas, The California Internship and Work Experience Association worked with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office regarding changes to Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations regarding Work Experience Education; and
Whereas, The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office stated in Memorandum ESS 23-49[1] that Title 5 “section 58161, …authorizes districts to claim apportionment “without limitation” for students “enrolled in work-experience education.” (Title 5 California Code of Regulations § 58161[2], subdivision (f)(4)) …[and] work experience education is repeatable as dictated by local district policy” yet Title 5 section 58161 only addresses apportionment and does not address repeatability;
Resolved, That the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges work with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to align the language regarding the repeatability of Work Experience Education courses and other repeatable courses by adding an additional (4) to Section 55041(a) of the California Code of Regulations, which would read: “(4) Work Experience Education courses, as defined in section 55252.”[3]
