A Brief History of Professional and Global Education at Cal State L.A.

Since 1965, the CSU has used its self-supported programs to meet the needs of professionals for continuing education within their fields, such as summer advancement programs for teach-ers, or tax update workshops for accountants and attorneys. With the globalization of education, extended education units began offering English Language programs and university preparation courses for international students. When there has been recession in the regional economy, self-support units, such as PaGE, have worked with local workforce support agencies to help retrain displaced, or laid-off, workers, or to train workers for high-demand jobs in trending industries, such as, historically, the computer science and paralegal fields, and recently the allied health fields. Extended education programs can be innovative in subject matter as well as in delivery, making use of university classrooms in the evenings and on weekends, and, benefitting from recent technology, offering online and hybrid classes. In addition to its own non-credit course offerings, PaGE can facilitate enrollment by non-matriculated students into regular un i ve r s i t y courses, on a space available basis, through Open University enrollment. This may assist stu-dents in completing a degree or pursuing a specialized interest – even at the graduate level. Lastly, PaGE is committed to meeting the needs of working professionals looking for ways to advance in their industries by providing a master’s degree or graduate certificate in their profes-sional field.

Becoming a college within the Cal State L.A. campus reinforces PaGE’s integral role in lever-aging the resources of the university to our local, regional, and global communities. Within the mission of the CSU to “train the California workforce,” PaGE’s vision is to “enrich the lives and work” of our students, and to extend the intellectual, social, and cultural resources of the univer-sity to the widest audience possible.

We, in the College of Professional and Global Education, are eager to know how we can meet your needs to “go further” in your career and in your life.

A paralegal is a professional member of a legal team. California law, since 2001, has required all who hold themselves out as “paralegals” to be qualified by education and training to perform “substantial legal work” under the supervision of an attorney-at-law (CA Bus. and Professions Code Sec. 6450). As legal professionals, parale-gals perform such tasks as interviewing clients, researching statutes and codes, and drafting and analyzing legal documents. Paralegals may not give legal advice, accept cases, argue in court, or set fees, although they may at times appear on behalf of clients at agency hearings, if permitted by the laws and rules governing the administrative agency.

Our program’s objective is to train competent, well-rounded paralegals who can communicate effectively and use their professional and practical skills ethically in assisting attorneys.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the voluntary internship program offered through the Practicum course (PLS 782). This allows students who have completed their “core” courses to be placed for one quarter in a local law firm or public agency, to gain valuable real-world experience.

Paralegal StudiesProfessional Advancement Credit

Admission RequirementsApplicants must submit an application, and, further, must provide official transcripts of their college work, showing the award of an associate of arts or bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, or completion of a minimum of 58 quarter (or 39 semester) college units, at least 27 quarter units (or 18 semes-ter units) of which represent general education courses in three of the following disciplines: language and composition; mathematics; social sciences; natural sciences; critical thinking; and the arts and humanities. (To demonstrate writing proficiency, applicants must have completed a freshman composition course with a grade of “C” or better, or scored successfully on a comparable writing exam).

International students who have completed the stated admission requirements at a foreign university or institution must provide their foreign transcripts ac-companied by a transcript evaluation performed by a properly accredited U.S. transcript evaluation service. Such international students must also provide evidence of English language proficiency through an acceptable TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score, of at least 79-80 iBT (550 or higher, paper-based test), or the equivalent. International students should be advised that the Paralegal Studies program cannot issue an I-20 Visa application, as the program does not presently qualify as a “full-time” course of study under the rules governing F-1 Student Visas.

Clinical Laboratory Science Training Programs

Credit

In collaboration with Cal Poly Pomona, the College of Profession-al and Global Education is pleased to offer one year post-bacca-laureate training programs for Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS) and Clinical Genetic Molecular Biologist Scientist (CGMBS).

These programs are funded by a subcontract from San Jose State University (SJSU) for the "California Statewide Biotechnol-ogy Clinical Laboratory Consortium Project." The contract is part of a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program, designed to address the critical shortage of clinical laboratory scientists, establishes a post-baccalaureate certificate program at two CSU campuses – Cal State LA and Cal Poly Pomona - in partnership with a consortium of hospitals for the required bench training.

A licensed CLS performs the full spectrum of diagnostic tests in hospital clinical laboratories, in commercial reference labora-tories, or in research and development for biotech companies. The CLS program will provide both didactic and practical clinical training in hematology, clinical chemistry, blood banking, microbi-ology and immunology to prepare students to sit for the American Society of Clinical Pathology CLS licensing exam. A CLS license is required to work as a CLS in California. Eligibility to take the exam requires a full academic year of clinical training for 52 weeks, 4 days/week, 8 hours/day as well as one 8-hour day/week of face-to-face classes (3 quarters of 8 units each at approxi-mately $450/unit = $10,800). This program is being offered jointly by Cal State LA and Cal Poly Pomona.

A licensed CGMBS performs specialized molecular diagnostic tests in hospital clinical laboratories, in commercial reference lab-oratories, or in research and development for biotech companies. The CGMBS program will provide both didactic and practical clinical training in molecular testing for cancers, genetic disease

markers, histocompatibility types, and some infectious diseases to prepare students to sit for the CGMBS licensing exam. A CGMBS license is required to work as a CGMBS in California. Eligibility to take the exam requires a full academic year of clinical training for 52 weeks, 4 days/week, 8 hours/day as well as one 6-hour day/week of face-to-face and online classes (3 terms of 6 units each at approximately $450/unit = $8,100). This program is being offered jointly by Cal State LA and Cal Poly Pomona.

Both the CLS and CGMBS Programs have been approved as Gainful Employment Programs by the Department of Education. This means that eligible trainees can apply for Federal Financial Aid to support them during the year that they are in the program.

The mission of the English Language Program (ELP) is to develop the English language skills of students whose native language is not English and to prepare them for entrance and success at the college and university level. The ELP accomplishes this by providing affordable instruction in a non-credit, intensive, multi-skills academic program specifically designed to prepare students to succeed in the English-medium, college or university credit classroom. The curriculum of the program includes instruction in grammar, writing, reading, listening, speaking, and academic preparation. There are six pre-academic proficiency levels, with level 1 as the entry level and level 6 as the highest level. There is also an optional co-academic University bridge program at levels 7, 8, 9 and 10. Classes average in size between 12 and 18 students. The program provides a full course of pre-academic study that consists of at least 18 clock hours of classroom instruction per week for a 10-week quarter (academic term). The fall quarter starts in mid

The English Language Program(ELP)

September, the winter quarter begins in early January, the spring quarter starts in mid March, and the summer quarter begins in early July. This skills-based program prepares language learners to meet and surpass the minimum Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score required for admission to California State University, Los Angeles and other colleges and universities.

English Language Program instructors are internationally-minded people, and many of them have traveled and taught through-out the world. With advanced degrees and solid teaching experience, they use their extensive knowledge to create positive

learning environments in all classes. While classroom training is important, ELP stu-dents also have opportunities to experi-ence cultural events and socials outside the classroom. This way, students have a chance to meet others in the program and share time together.

In addition to enjoying a creative learn-ing environment, English Language Program students have free access to the Kennedy Library, Writing Center, University Student Union, conversation clubs, com-puter labs, campus email accounts, wi-fi access, gym workout facilities, basketball and tennis courts, and two heated swim-ming pools.

DiscountsCollege of Professional and Global Education offers enrollment discounts to the following (non-exclusive list):

o Cal State L.A. Alumni Association members; and

o Los Angeles Paralegal Association members (Paralegal Studies Certificate Program)

Inquire further about the amount andavailability of a particular discount when you register for a course.

Enrollment for Extension Classes“Enrollment” in a College of Professional and Global Education course means both (a) completing a registration form, indicating your intention to take the course, and (b) paying the course fee(s) in full before the enrollment deadline.

Note: You do not need a formal application to the university and do not need transcripts in order to enroll in most extension classes. Further, enrollment in an Professional and Global Educationcourse does not constitute acceptance into the University.

Enrollment DeadlineCal State L.A. is, generally speaking, a “pay-in-advance” campus. Thus, with the few exceptions noted below, payment of course fee(s) is required on or before the first class session of most extension courses. After the first class meeting, if space remains in the class, additional enrollments will be processed, with a waiting list created if the course is filled. All late enrollments will incur a $25 late fee, and must be completed during the College’s regular business hours prior to the second

class meeting (the “enrollment deadline”). As of the start of the second class meeting, no new enrollments are possible and only enrolled students may attend the class.Note: If your extension class meets on Saturdays, payments must be processed Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Fridays, 8 to 5:00 p.m. to be considered timely. Payments generally cannot be made on Saturdays except during the first Saturday of the quarter when PaGE office is open from 8:30a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

With regard to online and single meeting courses, the enrollment deadlines are as follows: For online courses, students may complete enrollment up to 14 calendar days from the official class start date. A $25 late fee will be incurred after 7 calendar days. For single meeting courses, students are required to complete enrollment prior to the start of class; no exceptions, with or without late fees.

Late FeesPlease include a $25 late fee with any enrollments completed after the first class meeting, and prior to the enrollment deadline. Late fees are assessed per course, and are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Enroll EarlyEnrolling early is beneficial to you and to us. By enrolling at least two weeks prior to the start of your course, you ensure that you will receive an enrollment confirmation, which contains important information about your class, and parking information, before the class start date. Please allow three business days to receive an e-mail confirmation. Early enrollments also allow us to better calculate class sizes, classroom needs, and provide an accurate roster to the instructor, all helping to assure that the class will proceed as scheduled.

Note: If you don’t receive an enrollment confirmation prior to the first class meeting, attend the class anyway, and ask to be placed on the roster (or on the class waiting list). This will allow an accurate count of persons interested in the course, and allow you to complete your registration process, as needed, prior to the enrollment deadline. You are encouraged to call the Professional and Global Education office, (323) 343-4900, 24 hours before the first class meeting to ensure your enrollment,the class location, and that the class will go forward as scheduled.

Enrollment ProceduresIn order to enroll for an extension course, you must complete both steps of “registering” and “paying” for your course(s):

Step 1. Obtain a Registration Form for the quarter for which you intend to enroll. You may find this form on the last pages of this catalog: note one form for Open University registrations, and two forms for Extension course registrations, one for “credit” and one for “non-credit” courses. These forms are also available in the College of Professional and Global Education office, located in PaGE Welcome Center, University-Student Union, Room 105.

On the appropriate registration form, list the course(s) you wish to take, including course and section numbers. Also include the specific information requested to identify you, including your gender and birthdate; any previous Campus Identification Number (CIN) you may have, and your address, telephone, and e-mail. For most extension courses, including certificate, professional training, test preparation, online, and personal enrichment courses, this completes your registration, and you may proceed to paying for your course(s). For open university registration, see the requirements of first obtaining instructor

approval and department confirmation in the Open University section of this catalog.

Step 2. You may pay for your courses in one of four ways:

(a) Online: At the College of Professional and Global Education website, look for the CASHNet® logo alongside the course description. Only classes that show this logo may currently be purchased online. You will have a selection of credit card options to choose from after adding your courses to your Basket and proceeding to Checkout. Note: Unfortunately, online payment through CASHNet is not presently available for extension programs in Paralegal Studies; Legal Interpretation and Translation; nor CFP Online Certification Education training. We apologize for this inconvenience.

(b) In person: To pay in person using cash, check, or money order, first visit the College of Professional and Global Education (PaGE) Welcome Center, University-Student Union, Room 105, to have your registration form reviewed and approved for payment. You will then be asked to proceed to the Office of the Cashier, located in the courtyard of the Administration Building, Admin. Room 128, to pay by cash or cash equivalent. Return to the Extension office to bring a copy of your cashier’s receipt.

To pay in person using a credit card (VISA or MASTERCARD only), come to the PaGE Welcome Center, University-Student Union, Room 105, where we can verify the use of your credit card, after review and approval of your registration form.

(c) By telephone: Call the College of Professional and Global Education at

(323) 343-4900 to pay with your VISA or MASTERCARD by phone. You may call during our regular office hours, Monday – Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or on the first Saturday of a new quarter, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

(d) By mail: Send your completed Registration Form with a check or money order to:

College of Professional and Global Education

Re: Course Registration 5151 State University Drive, Room GE 211 Los Angeles, CA 90032-8619

(Please do not send cash or credit card information through the mail.)

Course Fees and Other PaymentsThe course fees vary for courses of different types. Consult the quarterly “Schedule of Classes” online at www.calstatela.edu/page, to find the basic course fee for each course. Please note: Some courses require two fees: one, the basic course fee; and the other, a materials, lab, or computer access fee. Be sure to list both fees on the Registration Form. The Paralegal Studies program requires an additional Westlaw fee each quarter.

Schedule ChangesSince the College of Professional and Global Education is required to be self-supporting, classes with fewer than the minimum number of enrollees may be cancelled or discontinued at, after, or before the first scheduled meeting. If your class is discontinued, you may request a transfer to another class or a refund of your enrollment fee. The College of Professional and Global Education reserves the right to reschedule or

combine classes and to change instructors as circumstances may require. It is a good idea to call the College of Professional and Global Education office, (323) 343-4900, 24-hours before the first class meeting to confirm both the status of the class and your enrollment on the class roster.

RefundsIf a course is cancelled, discontinued or rescheduled by the College of Professional and Global Education, a full refund of the course fee will be processed. Obtain a Refund Request Form and, when completed, submit it to the College of Professional and Global Education office. Refunds will be made by check back to the student, regardless of the original form of payment. Please allow a minimum of three weeks for the processing of refunds, and note that parking permit fees, late fees, and drop fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Note: All other credit course refunds are subject to a $10.00 administrative fee, which will be withheld in the processing of the refund. All such refunds must be requested prior to the refund deadline of the course, generally the end of seventh week for quarter-length courses. To request a refund, a student must first drop or withdraw from a course using the University Drop Request form and following University policy. (A stop-payment request on your check does not constitute an official request to drop the course.) Once the drop request has been signed the student requests a partial refund by submitting a Refund Request Form to the College of Professional and Global Education office. This form will ask for the last date the student attended class prior to the student’s drop or withdrawal (the “drop date”).

48 WWW.CALSTATELA.EDU/EXTENSION PHONE (323) 343-4900 FAX (323) 343-4923


The amounts subject to refund for credit courses are:

• For Drops requested before the first class meeting, the refund will be 100%, less the $10.00 processing fee;

• For Drops and Withdrawals after the start of the course and through the seventh week of the quarter, the refund amount will be a pro rata share of the refundable fees (that is, the course fee less the $10 processing fee) based on the last date the student attended class, the student’s “drop date.” Proration is based on a table comparing the drop date to the number of days that have passed since the beginning of the quarter.

• After the seventh week of the quarter, students are not eligible for a refund, and will be responsible for 100% of the fees for the term.

Non-Credit Course Refunds 1. Refunds are based on the postmarked

date, or the PaGE’s date-stamp on your refund request.

2. You will receive a full refund if your class is cancelled for any reason. Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for processing.

3. You will receive a full refund minus a $10 processing fee if you submit your refund request prior to the first class meeting.

4. You will receive a refund minus 65% of fees paid, if a timely request for refund is made for any course that has more than four meetings. However, you MUST submit your request before 25% of the course time has elapsed.

5. You receive no refund if you submit a refund request after 25% of the course time has elapsed for any course that

has more than four meetings.

6. There is no refund for courses that have four or fewer meetings once the course begins.

Online Course Refund PolicyRefunds for online courses must be requested in writing and received by the College of Professional and Global Education office within the first 14 days of the beginning of the course. Use the Refund Request Form to request this refund; no separate course Drop form is required.

ELP RefundsPlease consult the English Language Program office for its policies on withdrawal from courses and refunds for international students studying under the requirements of a student visa.

TransfersTo transfer from one course to another, students must complete two steps: (1) Drop the first class, by submitting a non-credit Drop Request form; and (2) Add the second class by submitting a Program Change (Request to Add) form with appropriate signatures. Applicable deadlines for dropping and adding classes and use of the University Appeal Form will apply to such transfers. Further, a $25 late fee may apply to any transfer requested after the first class meeting of the new class. Any payment due (for the differential in course fee) must be made the time that the Program Change (Request to Add) form is submitted.

Returned ChecksA $25 service charge will be assessed for checks returned for any reason. This is in addition to any late fee that may be due for late enrollment in the course.

Financial AidSince extension courses offered through PaGE are self-supported, traditional types of financial aid are not available. Nevertheless, certain student loan programs may be available for students enrolled in certificate programs. Contact the Cal State L.A. Credit Union, (323) 505-2600, or online at: www.calstatela-fcu.org, for more information. Certain commercial banks, such as Wells Fargo and Chase may also offer students loans.

Save Your ReceiptExtension students in longer-term professional development programs are entitled to purchase a photo I.D. for $5.00 at the Golden Eagle Service Center (2nd floor of the Golden Eagle Building). This allows them to access student services on campus, such as Open Access computer labs, the University Library, and the Physical Education building. However, should you choose not to purchase the Identification card, or your extension course is not eligible for one, please save and use your payment “receipt” as evidence of your enrollment in an extension course for a particular quarter; this receipt allow you to access campus, student services during the quarter of your enrollment.

Library During the time you are enrolled in an extension or open university course, you may use the University Library. Most library services will be available to you in using and borrowing books and having access to the library’s electronic materials and on-line databases. Certain library services, however, such borrowing books throughout the CSU and local university library systems via inter-library loan, are not permitted to open university students


49WWW.CALSTATELA.EDU/EXTENSION PHONE (323) 343-4900 FAX (323) 343-4923


without the further step of obtaining a library patron card. Speak with a university librarian for more information on library services and the patron card.

AccreditationCal State L.A. is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Therefore, all open university courses are fully accredited. All extension courses and certificate programs have been developed and are administered in accordance with campus and CSU Extension policy guidelines and all have received the necessary campus approvals.

Credit vs. Non-creditCredit courses award units of academic credit that can be applied toward a degree. The credits are recorded on a regular university transcript. Non-credit courses are of two types: (a) those offering continuing education units (CEU’s) – usually certificate courses for professional advancement; and (b) those offering neither credit nor units – such as test preparation courses or online enrichment courses. These courses may offer a “letter of completion.”

For credit courses, one quarter unit is equivalent to 2/3 (.67) of a semester unit. Students enrolling in regular credit courses for which they do not wish to receive credit (or a grade) should notify their instructor by the midterm of the quarter that they are taking the course “not for credit.”

For extension courses that carry Continuing Education Units, 1 CEU is equivalent to 10 contact hours of participation in the course. Less than ten contact hours are shown as a fractional CEU. CEU’s are a means of recording post-secondary education that is useful to employers or licensing agencies seeking certain hours of study for their employees’ career advancement or maintenance of a license, but where non-degree credit

is acceptable. CEU course credits are recorded on a transcript that may be requested by the student and otherwise is retained as a permanent record in the office of the University Registrar.

Grades and Transcripts Grades are mailed to all students enrolled in credit classes approximately two-three weeks following the end of classes. Open University and extension students may request official transcripts of course work completed at Cal State L.A. that is either “for credit” or carries “continuing education units” by printing the Transcript Request form from the University Records Office web page. http://www.calstatela.edu/academic/registrar/records.php Note the fee required for transcripts as determined by that office. Be sure to check the appropriate box on the registrar’s form to request that open university or extension course work be shown on the transcript.

Note: There are no official transcripts issued for non-credit classes.

Nondiscrimination and Sexual Harassment PoliciesThe College of Professional and Global Education, as part of Cal State L.A. and the California State University system, and in compliance with applicable Federal and State law, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, medical condition (including cancer-related illness) ancestry, marital status, citizenship, sexual orientation, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or special disabled veteran. The College and University policies also prohibit sexual harassment. This nondiscrimination policy covers admission, access, and treatment in all programs and activities. Inquiries relating these

nondiscrimination policies may be directed to the University Office of Equity and Diversity, (323) 343-3040, Admin. Room 606.

Students with DisabilitiesThe College of Professional and Global Education, in cooperation with the university Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD), is committed to the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and will provide reasonable accommodation to students with qualifying disabilities who have previously registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities. It is the student’s responsibility to provide adequate documentation of a disability to the OSD sufficiently in advance of class (preferably two weeks prior to the start of class) to allow appropriate accommodation to be provided without any delay in the student’s experience of the class. Please direct any questions along with initial requests for accommodation to the University Office for Students with Disabilities, (323) 343-3140, Admin. Room 127.
