FINANCIAL AID STATEMENT Students who are receiving any form of financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from classes. Withdrawals may affect your eligibility to receive further aid and could cause you to be in a position of repayment for the current semester. Students who fail to attend or participate after the drop date are also subject to this policy. DROP PROCEDURE/ATTENDANCE If you are unable to complete the course or courses for which you have registered, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the course. You need to speak with and obtain the signature of the course instructor to drop the course. If the instructor is not available, a counselor, advisor, or dean may sign the drop form. Failure to drop will result in a performance grade, usually a grade of "F." If you drop a class or withdraw from the college before the official drop/withdrawal deadline, you will receive a W (Withdraw) in each class dropped. For more information about drop deadlines, refer to the current printed Credit Class Schedule, contact the Admissions office at 214860-2484 (A169), or contact the division office. Students sometimes drop courses when help is available that would enable them to continue. I hope you will discuss your plans with me if you do feel the need to withdraw. STOP BEFORE YOU DROP For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than six (6) courses during your entire undergraduate career, unless the drop qualifies as an exception.

Why Should You Seek ORACLE Certification? The need for Oracle technical professionals has never been so great. Oracles own certification program recently grew by 100 percent in just eight months and continues to grow at an incredible pace. Even with all these new OCP members, businesses using Oracle technologies still have a large amount of open job orders for OCPs. There just are not enough OCPs! What this really means is that should you choose to earn an Oracle certification, your opportunities will increase greatly, and recent metrics support this. A study published by Computer World magazine found that of all the IT skills that are most highly sought after, Oracle was on top with an astounding 24 percent of IT managers surveyed stating that they had open jobs for Oracle professionals. An additional 10 percent stated that they also had needs for database administration expertise in a variety of areas, including Oracle.

El Centro College Scans Statement What Are Scans Skills?

These are the skills that employers need the most from their workers. SCANS skills are the predictors in the workplace.
Who Defined these Skills? In 1989, the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education jointly surveyed U.S. employers to find out the most important skills and competencies needed by workers. The results of the survey identified SCANS (Secretarys Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills). ECC Students and SCANS

El CentroCollege is committed to the preparation of our students for success in the workplace.
All El CentroCollege courses provide learning outcomes which result in the mastery of SCANS skills. Although each course will not include every SCANS skill, each course syllabus will identify the specific SCANS skills and competencies taught in that course. Throughout a formal program of study (Certificate, Degree or Transfer Program) a student will have the opportunity to master all SCANS skills and competencies.
