How to Use This Catalog

An Important Resource

This college catalog is a vital resource for you as a student at American River College. Please spend some time becoming familiar with the information in this catalog – it can be a key tool in your academic success.

Changes

It's important to keep in mind that policies and regulations are subject to change. Many of these changes are dictated by the State of California or federal agencies. This catalog captures the latest information as of the publish date, but changes happen on a regular basis. For updated information, please consult the college website.

Official Updates

If there are significant changes – such as new courses, programs, or regulations – the college will publish a catalog update online (similar to an "addendum" in a print catalog). If updates are published, then they will typically appear in September and/or November of each year, but may be added at other times if critical content updates are necessary. Throughout the year, the catalog website will always include the most current catalog content.

Career Education Program Changes

Please be aware that the required courses for career education (formerly career and technical education, or CTE) programs are subject to change due to state, regional, and federal agencies. It's important to meet with a counselor to stay on top of any potential changes to these programs.
