and
ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

General Stipulations

*	Orange Community College students who graduate with an A.A., A.A.S. or A.S. degree in 
specified programs and with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 will be granted �junior� or upper-level 
status at Dominican College.  Certain programs within the College have higher GPA and 
further admissions standards, as specified in the Dominican College catalogue.

*	Upon transferring into Dominican College, qualified Orange Community College graduates 
will be awarded up to a maximum of 70 credits earned at Orange Community College as 
applicable to specified programs and/or institutional requirements at Dominican College.  
For Orange Community College graduates with an associate�s degree, courses for transfer 
must have been passed with a grade of �C-� or better.  Courses transferred will receive full 
credit as awarded by Orange Community College even if the equivalent Dominican course 
award is a different number of credits.

*	Each transferring student will be assigned a program faculty advisor, who will assist the 
student in charting a comprehensive academic program plan allowing for graduation in the 
shortest time possible, usually two years of full-time study or its part-time equivalent.

*	Students who transfer from Orange Community College to Dominican College are expected 
to adhere to general academic policies and procedures required for admission to the 
College, and to fulfill any particular requirements (regarding GPA, prerequisites, clinical 
experience, etc.) that may be in place for certain academic programs at the College.  The 
Dominican College catalogue and, in some cases, program-specific student manuals, specify 
in detail all relevant policies and procedures.  Students will not be expected to meet 
adjusted requirements, if they differ from those as stated in these publications upon the 
students� matriculation at Dominican College.

*	All transfer students will need to satisfy Dominican�s General Education Curriculum 
requirements, which include components in (I) General Skills, (II) Roots of Contemporary 
Life and Culture, (IIIA) Science, and (IIIB) Values.  These requirements are outlined in the 
Dominican College catalogue.  Note: all transfer students are required to complete an 
English Competency exam regardless of the number of Writing courses completed at 
Orange Community College or elsewhere.  Students not successful on the exam are 
provided additional support at Dominican through the required course Eng. 15, Advanced 
Writing.

*	Both Orange Community College and Dominican College agree to keep each other informed 
of program changes in a timely way.
