Equivalency Process for Confidential/Supervisors, Classified Administrators and Educational Administrators:

The San Bernardino Community College promotes the effort to ensure that their supervisors and managers are administrators who can lead, organize, plan, and supervise; and who understand the needs of students, classified, faculty and the learning environment; and who value institutional governance based upon a genuine sharing of responsibility with faculty colleagues.

The minimum qualifications for supervisors and administrators should help the District to ensure that it will select individuals who are competent to perform the kind of administrative responsibilities that administrators are normally required to assume, such as supervision, organizational planning, and budget development and administration.

This equivalency process is designed to include exceptionally strong candidates who may have earned, in a variety of ways, the equivalent to a Masters Degree. Equivalency determinations shall be determined jointly by the President of the College or designee and the Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, or Designee. The criteria used in making the determination shall be reflected in the governing board's action when employing the individual.

Academic disciplines:

Educational Administrators are required to hold a Master's Degree and complete one year of supervisory experience in the appropriate setting. While it is the intent of the Board of Trustees to employ educational administrators who possess the minimum qualifications set out by Title 5 regulations, there may be exceptional circumstances whereas applicants clearly have the equivalent to those minimum qualifications. Title 5 regulations allow for a local district to determine equivalencies for educational administrators.

Equivalencies to a Master's Degree may also be accepted for educational administrators supervising departments which only include academic disciplines. This should be an exceptional and uncommon occurrence.

An applicant for an educational administrator position where that administrator supervises departments that only include academic disciplines, may be determined to have the equivalent of a Masters Degree in the following ways. This list is not all inclusive:

1. Any Master's Degree with a minimum of 12 semester graduate units in the relevant academic discipline OR

• A substantial number of years of community college level full-time teaching in one of the disciplines included in the department (10-20 years).
• Evidence of organizational and planning skills with regard to educational activities.
