Specialized Classes

Learning Skills classes in both academic and personal development subjects, as well as Assistive Computer Technology classes, are offered through ACCESS.

These are non-transferable classes designed to prepare students with special needs for success in mainstream, college-level coursework.

The Moorpark College Catalog, Schedule of Classes, and our seasonal class brochures and handouts will detail the courses currently being offered by this department. While these courses are designed for students with special needs, they are open to all Moorpark College students.

Students register for these courses in the same manner as any other class at Moorpark College. You must demonstrate measurable progress towards educational goals and meet the same academic requirements for continued enrollment in these special classes as well as for all mainstream classes. These requirements are outlined in the Moorpark College Catalog.

Repetitions of special classes that exceed the regular repeatability limits stated in the College Catalog are allowed in order to accommodate the disability-related needs of the student pursuant to Title 5, Section 56029.

Special class course repetitions may be provided for students with disabilities under the following circumstances:

*when additional repetitions of a special class are essential to completing a student's preparation for enrollment into mainstream or other special classes;
*when the student has a Student Educational Plan (SEP) which involves a goal other than the completion of the special class in question, and repetition of the special class will further the achievement of that goal;
*when the continuing success of the student in mainstreamed and/or special classes is dependant on additional repetitions of a special class.
