	*Enrollment Fee Increase* The California Legislature has set Community College enrollment fees statewide at $46/unit, Effective Summer 2012 – Fee Schedule
	*Title 5: Course Repetition and Withdrawal* The California Community College Board of Governors recently passed revisions to Title 5 regarding course repetition that will take effect during the 2012 Summer semester. Students will only be allowed to enroll in a course three times if they received a substandard grade (D, F, NP, or NC) or withdrew from the class with a “W.” Students with extenuating circumstances may seek approval to enroll in a course for the fourth time through the petition process. These changes do not contain a grandfather clause so any student that has already taken a course the maximum number of times will no longer be able to take the same class at Taft College.

Online catalog and class schedules are available in pdf format and can be saved to your computer or printed out for easy reference. Click for Current Catalog Click for Current Schedule of Classes
