of an appropriate California Community College Credential..

Professional experience is required when the applicant possesses a

If you have competed your education at an institution
outside of the United States, please see the section below titled
"Foreign Transcripts" for additional information.

*EQUIVALENCY

The Ventura County Community College District, in its desire to
select outstanding faculty members from the largest possible pool
of qualified applicants, recognizes the fact that candidates may
attain expertise in a discipline through a variety of means.
Certain combinations of education, experience and other
accomplishments in the field may be judged by the District as equal
to the stated minimum qualifications for this position. Candidates
whose transcripts do not list the title of their degree exactly as
listed above, but feel they possess such equivalent qualifications
are encouraged to complete and submit the Supplemental Questionnaire for
Equivalency (Download PDF reader) https://get.adobe.com/reader/$(downloadpdfreader)">(Download
PDF reader) with their application for review by the Districtwide
Equivalency Committee.

Example:

Minimum Qualifications state: "Master's degree in
agriculture".

Candidate's transcripts state: "Master's degree in agricultural
science".

Since the degree on the candidate's transcripts in
the example do not EXACTLY MATCH the degree listed in the minimum
qualifications section, this candidate MUST complete the Supplemental
Questionnaire for Equivalency (Download PDF
reader) in order to be considered https://get.adobe.com/reader/$(downloadpdfreader)">(Download
PDF reader). When completing the form, be sure to explain in
detail how your qualifications are equivalent to the required
minimum qualifications. Do not assume that you do not need to
submit a Supplemental Questionnaire for Equivalency because your
degree is similar to a degree stated in the minimum qualifications.
Degree titles that are not an exact match will not be considered
outside of the equivalency process.

The equivalency review is an independent
process for district wide disciplines that is separate from the
recruitment process to fill a vacancy. A subcommittee of discipline
experts that is coordinated by an Academic Senate President will
review the equivalency materials and make a recommendation as to
whether or not the applicant demonstrated they have qualifications
that are equivalent to those shown in the minimum qualifications
section of the job posting. For disciplines that are unique to a
specific campus the equivalency may be done by the hiring committee
along with an Academic Senate President. Please be aware that the
hiring committee may not be able to wait for the results from the
equivalency review due to various time constraints and may need to
move forward with the recruitment process.

For further details regarding equivalency and the criteria by
which equivalency may be granted, please review VCCCD Board Policy 7211 and
VCCCD Administrative Policy
7211.
