23 Career and Technical Education Program Awards Riverside Community College District offers associate in science degrees and certificate programs with career and technical education emphasis. Both provide instruction in the skills and knowledge needed to enter a skilled or professional occupation. Associate in science degree programs require completion of at least 60 units of credit, which normally takes four semesters or more. State approved certificate (certificate of achievement) programs require a minimum of 18 units, but vary in number of units required. Certificates of achievement may lead to employment competence and an associate degree and many can be completed in one year. Locally approved certificates (certificate of career preparation) are less than 18 units and may lead to employment competence but do not necessarily lead to an associate degree. 21 Certificate and Degree Course Requirements Students should see a counselor to develop an educational plan to complete a specific certificate or degree pattern and then enroll in the appropriate courses. Fifty percent of the coursework required for any certificate or degree pattern must be completed at Riverside Community College District. Applying for Certificate or Degree Students may submit an application to receive their CTE certificate or associate degree through their Academic Profile Degree/ Certificate Application on RCCD s student enrollment system, called WebAdvisor. Students receiving an associate in science degree or a certificate of more than 18 units are eligible to participate in the commencement/graduation ceremony. The deadline to apply and participate in commencement is April 1 st. Students applying for a locally approved certificate only (a certificate which is less than 18 units) are not eligible to participate in commencement.
