Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 DEGREE REQUIREMENTS 51 3. The AGEC-S is designed to satisfy requirements in majors with more prescriptive mathematics and mathematics-based science requirements such as many in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. AGEC-S requires a minimum of the first course in a calculus sequence to satisfy the Mathematics [MA] requirement, and a minimum of eight credits of either university chemistry, university physics or general biology for majors to satisfy the Natural Sciences [SQ/SG] requirement. In addition, students must select six to eight additional credits of math and/ or science appropriate to their major. ACADEMIC POLICIES THAT GOVERN THE AGEC A, B, S: • Requires completion of 35-38 credit hours in courses numbered 100 and above and that a minimum of 12 of those credits be taken at one or any combination of the MCCCD colleges. • All courses applied to the AGEC must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. • A single course can simultaneously count toward a Core Area and one or more Awareness Areas. For example, a course in world geography can be used to satisfy [SB] and [G] requirements. While multiple requirements can be met with a single course, the credits for that course are only counted one time toward the required minimum total for the AGEC. Except as detailed below for the AGEC-S, a single course cannot be used to satisfy more than one AGEC Core Area. • The General Education Requirements for these certificates may be completed in as few as 35 credits provided that courses selected for the Awareness Areas can also be counted toward Core Areas. TRANSFER CREDITS • Credits transferred from outside of MCCCD must at a grade of "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. • Transfer credit graded pass/fail or pass/no credit may be used to satisfy AGEC requirements if documentation collected by the community college indicates that this was the only grading option available and that the Pass grade ("P") is equivalent to a "C" or better. • External courses either with AGEC designations (from an AGEC granting/accepting institution at which they were taken) or evaluated as equivalent to an MCCCD course with one or more AGEC designations may be applied toward the minimum credits for certificate completion. A course evaluation and/or general education designation may be subject to change. The AGEC designations are determined by how they are listed in AZTransfer's Arizona Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) for the semester in which the courses were completed. Given that curriculum is dynamic at both MCCCD and the institutions from or to which MCCCD students transfer, students have the option to petition for exceptions to official course evaluations and/or general education designations. CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING • Credit awarded at a Maricopa Community College for prior learning in non-traditional setting is transferable to the other colleges in the MCCC district but is not necessarily transferable to
