	*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.
	*College Catalog and Class Schedules - Now Online* Due to state budget cuts, printed college catalog and class schedules are no longer available 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
	*Open Registration* All self-open registration ends the day class begins. To enroll in a class once it begins, instructor approval is required, even if seats are still available. Add polices vary by instructor. Add codes are provided at the instructor's discretion. You will need to contact the instructor to find out their add policy. If you are provided an add authorization code you can enroll online through CougarTracks. Click for Financial Obligations information. Click for Add Authorization Code Instructions.

	*Financial Aid Updates* Effective July 1, 2012, the passing of an ATB (Ability to Benefit) exam or completion of 6 units will no longer meet the high school equivalency requirements for Title IV aid. You will be required to have a high school diploma, pass the GED test or the High School Equivalency exam to meet the eligibility requirement.
