Accuracy of the College Catalog 
Oxnard College is committed to providing students the most 
accurate, current information available regarding the College's 
programs, courses, regulations and policies. However, there may 
be times when course changes concerning prerequisites, content, 
hours, or units of credit are determined after publication of the 
catalog or when district policy or state regulation dictates a 
change in current practice. When such a circumstance arises, 
every effort will be made through the class schedules, public 
media, and at time of registration to notify students of any 
changes in the course descriptions or college policies as presented 
herein. Students with questions or concerns about a specific 
course need to talk to a counselor or to call the appropriate 
division office. Questions or concerns regarding standard practice 
and process can be directed to the Office of Student Learning at 
(805) 986-5814.
