Workforce Development
Course Numbers
Courses numbered 01-09 are developmental courses
(see "Developmental Studies Program"). The credits earned in these
courses are not applicable toward a degree or a certificate.
Course Credits
The credit for each course is indicated in parentheses
after the title in the course description. One credit is equivalent
to one collegiate semester-hour credit.
Course Hours
The number of lecture hours in class each week (including
lecture, seminar, and discussion hours) and/or the number of laboratory
hours in each week (including laboratory, shop, supervised practice,
and cooperative work experiences) are indicated for each course
in the course description. The number of lecture and laboratory
hours in class each week are also called "contact" hours because
it is time spent under the direct supervision of a faculty member.
In addition to the lecture and laboratory hours in class each week,
each student must spend some time on out-of-class assignments under
his/her own direction. Usually each credit per course requires an
average of three hours of in-class and out-of-class work each week.
Prerequisites and Corequisites
Prerequisites required before enrolling in a course
are identified in the course description. Courses in sequences (usually
identified by the numerals I-II) require that the preceding course
in the sequence (or equivalent) be completed before one can enroll
in the next course in the sequence. Usually corequisites must be
taken at the same time. The prerequisites or their equivalent must
be completed satisfactorily before enrolling in a course unless
special permission is obtained from the division. The NVCC Schedule
of Classes lists additional information on special enrollment
requirements.
Frequency of Offerings
The College is not obligated to offer, nor can it
offer, all courses every semester. Courses are usually offered in
the semesters indicated in the degree or certificate outline given
in the "Instructional Programs" chapter of this catalog. The NVCC
Schedule of Classes lists the courses being offered for the
respective semester.
