Matriculation -- a pathway to success in college

Martriculation

Matriculation is a process that brings the college and the student into an agreement for the purpose of realizing the student's educational goals.

The college agrees to provide:

  • An admissions application process
  • An orientation to the college's programs and services
  • An assessment of the student's study skills, English language proficiency, computational skills, goals, career aspirations, academic performance, and need for special services
  • Counseling and advisement to develop a student education goal

The student agrees to:

  • Express at least a broad educational intent upon admission
  • Declare an educational goal by the time the student has completed 15 units
  • Attend classes
  • Work diligently to complete course assignments
  • Demonstrate effort toward attainment of an educational goal
  • Meet with a counselor to develop a student educational plan (SEP) that will meet his/her unique goals

Matriculation goals are partially fulfilled through the ACAD-100 class. Students who intend to graduate from San Bernardino Valley College are required to complete ACAD-100 within the first two semesters in which they are enrolled in 9 or more units.
