Frequently Asked Questions

- How can I get credit for a course I took at another college?
  Fill out a variance form , have that form signed by the appropriate Department Chair, then bring that form to the Division Office (Building 66, Room 225) to be signed by one of our Deans. Processing takes approximately ten days.
- What do I do if a course I need to complete my degree is not offered the semester I want to graduate?
  Meet with the appropriate Department Chair and to discuss substituting another course or other means of fulfilling the requirements.
- How do I get a Mt. SAC certificate once I have completed the certificate requirements?
  Fill out a certificate application form and submit it to the Admissions and Records Office (Building 9B).
- If a class is full and I want to add the class, what do I do?
  If there is space on the waitlist, add yourself to the wait-list in order to receive priority if a space in the class opens up. Regardless of the wait-list, attend the first day of class - it is always possible that a space will open up for you. Note: Linked classes do not have wait-lists.
- If I want to complain about an instructor, what do I do?
  Contact the appropriate Department Chair. If the instructor is the Department Chair, or if the Department Chair is unable to resolve the issue, contact our office at (909) 274-4570 or at hssdiv@mtsac.edu to make an appointment with one of our Deans.
