This should be an ongoing conversation with your academic advisor. In addition, you can make an appointment with the Advising Office to discuss your progress (tao@litpliant.net). 有关核心课程的具体问题, 联系史蒂夫·米勒, 核心课程主席, 电邮地址: scmiller@litpliant.net 或致电925-631-4970.

SMC的核心课程每学期都有所不同，可以在CCC主页和GaelXpress 2上找到.0

每个学生在GaelXpress的项目评估中都有一个已经满足的要求列表，并突出显示了尚未满足的要求.

学生可以通过许多不同的方式来满足核心要求——通过专业内外的课程, throughout the entire academic year including 1项 and summer, and through the use of transfer courses (which can include online courses).

主修课程. 本专业的课程可以满足核心课程的要求. 许多院系都计划了他们的课程设置，让学生通过专业来满足特定的核心要求. 每学期检查特定的部门课程，以确定哪些特定课程有核心指定.

夏季课程. Summer courses count as normal courses (with the exception of the 1项 in June course, which counts as a 1项 course); therefore departmentally overseen courses taught in the summer carry their designations with them.

在线课程. The 核心课程 Committee is not concerned about the delivery method of courses; in particular, it is agnostic with respect to the appropriateness of online courses. 在线课程的适当性由UEPC决定, CCC主席, 以及各个部门.

一月学期课程.  虽然带有JAN前缀的一月学期课程不能用于满足其他核心要求(除了参与学习)，但一月份提供的一些课程将带有Core前缀，并将满足参与世界. Those can be found on the 1项 webpage and on GaelXPress 2.0.

校外/转让课程.  一个系算作SMC课程的校外课程将获得与SMC课程相同的待遇, at least for the 思维习惯 and 通往知识之路 goals. 具有“融入世界”指定的SMC课程的校外课程不会自动获得EtW指定. 寻求指定的学生可以联系CCC主席 scmiller@litpliant.net.

For courses meant to fulfill a learning goal, by “complete a course” we mean “gains a passing grade.” A grade of “D” suffices, unless that course serves as a prerequisite for another course. 例如, students must earn a C- or better in WRIT 100 to be eligible for WRIT 201, 并获得C-或更好的成绩，以进入WiD课程, but a D will suffice in an upper division Core course if it is not a prerequisite for anything else. 此外，对于核心课程来说，P是不够的.

Core requirements cannot be waived (except in special circumstances); students need to complete all of the Core requirements either at SMC or by transfer credit.

Students can petition to have Core requirements satisfied through AP scores, 转学和出国学习课程, 独立学习. 学生可联络中心主席(scmiller@litpliant.net)，询问有关转学课程或AP成绩的问题.

First year-Four year students are required to complete SEM 150 in their first year, 第二学年的250名学生, 然后在第三或第四年获得SEM 350.

转学生必须在第一年完成SEM 327，之后的某个时间完成SEM 350.

四年级学生必须在第一年完成100级的JAN课程，并在毕业前再完成一门200级或更高级别的JAN课程. 学校鼓励学生选修最多四门JAN课程.

Transfer students are required to complete one JAN course (200 level or higher)

通常不. JAN课程通常不在夏季学期开设.

No, with very few exceptions, 1项 must be completed at SMC. 留学SMC项目的学生，如果项目在1月份开课，可以在国外上第五节课，以满足1月份的要求. 如果有您认为会妨碍您满足SMC要求的情有可原的情况，请直接与一月学期办公室联系.

目前, SEM 350通常在夏季授课, to facilitate graduating on time for students who needed to take an extra class. 如果学生在其他研讨会上落后, 通常可以在一年中秋季和春季学期选修两门管理学课程.

许多其他机构不开设大学研讨会. Most Colleges and Universities fill this kind of 思维习惯 learning outcome with a survey course, 哪些课程不能作为学院讲座转让. All great books discussion-based courses would have to be examined in a petition for transfer. Please contact the 大学研讨会 Office with specific questions about transfer courses.

思维习惯学习目标是发展性的, and so the classes that teach the HoM outcomes should be taken sequentially. 例如, SEM 150 uses and builds upon the writing skills taught in WRIT 100, i.e.， WRIT 100是SEM 150的必要条件.

WRIT 201是大多数WID课程的先决条件要求, although some departments may list WRIT 201 as a co-requisite requirement. Please check with each individual department for clarification.

如果转校生在之前的学校获得了同等的成绩，或者如果作文主任确定他们的成绩在WRIT 100分之外，他们可以放弃WRIT.

对于拆分专业, 学生, 与来自两个“分支”的教员合作,她应该决定在哪个系上WID课程, 可能会决定两者兼得. 对于个性化的专业，可能没有WID指定的课程适合或可用于特定的学习计划. 在这种情况下, CCC允许学生提交一份正式的申请，申请一门替代课程作为他们的WID.

在AP或类似考试中得分足够高的学生(由注册办公室决定)可以获得较低部门的选修学分，也可以获得PtK领域的学术学分. 那些参加AP考试，但没有做得足够好，以获得学术学分的人不会在PtK领域获得学分.

No. 为了满足PtK学习成果 主要的 课程的重点必须放在一个特定的PtK上. Since a course cannot have more than one 主要的 focus, it cannot satisfy two PtK areas. The lone exception to this is ART/HUM (a course can satisfy ART/HUM and CP simultaneously).

All SMC students are expected to meet all 通往知识之路 requirements. 学生不免除PtL要求.

是的. Requests will be reviewed by the 核心课程主席 on an individual basis.

完成科学理解的要求, students must complete a science-based lab that focuses on quantitative data analysis. 如果你原来的科学课程没有实验室, you can take a separate science lab to complete the requirement.

Because the Christian Foundations course is a signifier of our Catholic nature, 那门课不能转学. 然而, 神学探索课程可在其他院校修读，经中国基督教会主席批准后可转至其他院校.

与EtW指定的SMC课程等同的校外课程不会“自动”满足“参与世界”的目标. 希望在SMC以外的EtW课程中获得学分的学生需要与CCC主席联系 scmiller@litpliant.net.

不一定. 课程的特定部分是否符合EtW的目标, is largely dependent of the instructor and the method of delivery. 并非课程的所有部分都符合相同的学习目标，因此同一课程的不同部分可能有不同的EtW指定. Students are held to whatever designations the course section has received. When in doubt please check the course syllabus or the 注册商's Office.

是的. CCC主席将考虑传统SMC课程之外的课程满足“参与世界”目标的请愿书. Such requests must include the course syllabus and final project (if any).

No. In some cases, the EL requirement has been satisfied through other means. 在那些罕见的情况下, 学生必须通过服务学习和一篇总结如何将经验与EL学习成果联系起来的广泛论文来证明对参与式学习(EL)学习成果的掌握.
