4. SUBJECT ABBREVIATION -- 7 characters, assigned by District Office: VOC. ED

5. SPC CODE -- 3 characters, assigned by District Office: 6. REPETITIONS -- Number of times course may be repeated for credit (three maximum): 3

How does the repetition of this course meet Title 5, section 58161 requirements? A course may be repeatable when, “course content differs each time it is offered, and that the student who repeats it is gaining an expanded educational experience for one of the following reasons: (A) Skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods; or (B) Active participatory experience in individual study or group assignments is the basic means by which learning objectives are obtained.”

Skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods.

5. COURSE CLASSIFICATION (choose only one)

Occupational Note: A course’s Classification, TOP Code and SAM code must be aligned – e.g., Courses with an “Occupational” Course Classification must have an “Occupational” TOP Code and a SAM Code of A, B, C, or D; courses that do not have an “Occupational” Course Classification cannot have an Occupational TOP Code and must have an “E” SAM Code. Courses coded as “basic skills” in #11 should be coded “Adult and Secondary Basic Skills.”

6. SAM CODE (Student Accountability Model)

(choose only one):

C – Clearly Occupational SAM Codes (see, CCC Chancellor’s Office Student Accountability Model Operations Manual, 1984) should be assigned as follows:

Priority "A" – Apprenticeship: Courses designed for an indentured apprentice, which must have the approval of the State of California, Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards. Priority "B" – Advanced Occupational: Courses taken by students in the advanced stages of their occupational programs. Courses should be offered in one specific occupational area only. Priority letter “B” should be assigned sparingly; in most cases, no more than two courses in any one program should be labeled “B.” “B’-level courses must have Priority “C” pre-requisites in the same program area. Priority "C" – Clearly Occupational: Courses generally taken by students in the middle stages of their programs, which should be of difficulty level sufficient to detract "drop-ins." Courses may be offered in several occupational programs within a broad area.

The "C" priority, however, should also be used for courses within a specific program area when the criteria for "B" classification are not met. A "C" level course should provide the student with entry-level job skills. Priority "'D" - Possibly Occupational: "D" courses are those taken by students in the beginning stages of their occupational programs. The "D" priority can also be used for service (or survey) courses for other occupational Programs. Priority "E" -- Non-occupational.

BASIC SKILLS -- Title 5, section 55502(d) defines “basic skills as “courses in reading, writing, computation, and English as a Second Language which are designated as non-degree credit courses pursuant to Title 5, section 55002(b)."
