T
here’s a reason high-tech CEOs are some of the strongest advocates for
immigration reform in the United States. Silicon Valley’s top companies constantly
struggle with a “talent vacuum” in which there simply are not enough skilled
programmers and developers to fill available positions.

As a result, startups and established companies alike hire from a global talent pool and
the result is a highly cosmopolitan industry. Programmers from Poland work alongside
developers from Dubai and specialists from Shanghai. While more than a quarter of
California’s population is foreign-born, in Silicon Valley it’s more than a third!
To many, this level of internationalism exemplifies the high ideals that the country was
founded on. At UCSC Extension, we agree, and we understand that immigration status
is a major challenge for this international workforce and their families.
That’s one reason why, over the past two years, UCSC Extension has expanded its
services for international students. The effort has had a big impact on our student body.
Today, more than 150 full-time students from around the world are studying technology,
human resources, management and more at Extension. You’ll find comments from a few
of them on page 7. Many of our certificates can be completed in as little as nine months
and most of our international students move on to paid work opportunities through
Optional Practical Training.
When you take a course with us, we think you’ll benefit from all the diversity that’s
evident in our hallways and classrooms. Our courses regularly include discussions—
and online interactions—in which students share real-world problems and receive
expert guidance in tackling them. Understanding the challenges faced by professionals
from around the world, including how they think and communicate, increases your
value to any company doing business globally.
After all, that’s the test of a viable company, startup or otherwise: Has it identified
an unmet need in a truly broad market? We believe there are opportunities to take
on global challenges, and our students leave us with the informed perspectives and
specialized skills that enable them to do so.

WHAT StudentS SAY
Judith Bastiaanssen
Biotechnology Student
Judith Bastiaanssen is a woman of many
talents. Originally from the Netherlands, she
studied physics and worked in research and
development for a large electronics company just
as the medical device market was taking off in
Europe. While her technical skills and experience
made her stand out in her field, she wanted
to gain a better understanding of the science
behind it all. When the opportunity arose for
her to relocate to California, she enrolled in
UCSC Extension’s Biotechnology program.
Program Quenched Her Thirst for Knowledge
Though her scientific studies had often
overlapped with biology, Bastiaanssen was
surprised at how precise biomedical technology had become, and soon became hungry to
learn more. She was especially impressed by
the fundamentals covered in “Introduction to
Molecular Biology” and “Drug Development.”
“I see such a future in it,” she says. “I’m
amazed at how the genomic revolution has
changed so much. I had no idea how drugs
are developed, and the courses really opened
my mind. I learned so much about how drugs
work. I didn’t think I’d be interested in drug
development, but it was totally fascinating.”
Courses Opened Her Eyes
She also enjoyed meeting and working with
her classmates, many of whom are established
professionals in a variety of fields. Bastiaanssen
completed the certificate in summer 2013.
“I like to learn, and there’s no better
feeling in the world than understanding a
new concept,” she says. “The courses were
absolutely fantastic.”
“I had no idea how drugs
are developed, and the courses
really opened my mind.

BUSAD.X477.9 (1.5 quarter units) CA BRN/LVN Credit–
Note(s): It is recommended that students have
completed “Clinical Trials Site Monitoring I” or
equivalent prior to enrolling in this course.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are
more and more frequently using the services of contract
research organizations (CROs) to access expertise or
technology not available in-house for key clinical services.
This course takes a practical look at the identification,
selection, and management of CROs in the performance
of clinical projects. Other topics of discussion include
selecting the best CRO for a project; request for proposal
(RFP) components; bid review and negotiation; types
of agreements; defining roles and responsibilities;
and managing the work once the contract is signed.
This course introduces fundamental concepts essential
to drug safety and adverse event reporting and how to
apply them to situations encountered during clinical trials
and post-marketing reporting. Students learn why safety
reporting is crucial; the definitions of an adverse event
and the key reporting issues of seriousness, expectedness,
and relationship to the study drug. The course includes
a brief overview of reporting requirements in the U.S.
and abroad and the documents associated with these
reports. The content is appropriate for CRAs, CRCs, drug
safety associates, and regulatory affairs personnel.

Certificate Program
Regulatory Affairs
Certificate Contact
Program Summary
Regulatory affairs professionals play critical roles in
ensuring compliance with the laws and regulations guiding
the development and commercialization of healthcare
products. As Bay Area bioscience companies grow
and mature, their need for trained regulatory personnel
intensifies. Recent industry studies cite regulatory affairs
as one of the most crucial human resource needs in the
coming decade. However, there are currently few options
available in our region for formal, in-depth training for
early-stage regulatory professionals.
The Regulatory Affairs Certificate was developed
under the guidance of industry and government experts
to provide a broad regulatory foundation; exposure to
practical, real-world applications of the regulations; and
an appreciation of the important roles that regulatory
affairs professionals play in the bioscience industry. Courses
are taught by experienced regulatory professionals currently
working in the device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and biologic sectors. Instructors bring the regulations to life with
relevant examples and hands-on exercises designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in regulatory affairs.
To obtain the Certificate in Regulatory Affairs, students
must complete the six required courses and 5 units of
elective courses, for a minimum total of 19 units. For
GPA requirements and program time limits, see page 4.
parallel or sequence, see page 10.
Prerequisites
Friday, 9 am–4 pm, August 22.

SUMMER 2014
WHAT StudentS SAY
bryan rodriguez
Human Resources Student
Bryan Rodriguez had been working in
payroll and finance for almost 15 years when
he decided it was time for a career change.
As a payroll supervisor, he felt like he was
“one half of the HR equation,” and like any
good mathematician, he wanted to fully
understand the equation’s other half. UCSC
Extension’s Human Resource Management
certificate program offered the courses he
needed to get his foot in the door.
“I started the program lacking a lot of
confidence,” Rodriguez says. “But after my first
class, I realized that my professional experience
will translate well in this new career path.”
Hands-On Class Projects
Rodriguez’s accounting expertise came
in handy when planning benefit packages
and navigating employee compensation.
His courses taught him how to calculate
the financial impact of HR programs and
communicate sensitive issues with employees.
“Networking with students and teachers,
I gained a lot more confidence,” he says. “The
real-world experience they shared candidly
created an environment where we could talk
about sticky situations professionally. I really
saw how everything in HR is connected.”
Don’t Wait to Jumpstart Your Career
Rodriguez completed the HR Management
certificate in 2013. His only regret was that
he didn’t enroll in Extension’s program sooner.
“I saw how the whole program was designed
to expose you to the different facets of HR,”
he says. “When you see something interesting,
sign up for the program and jump in!”
“I saw how the whole program
was designed to expose you to
the different facets of HR.

AWARD Summary
Establish your credentials in a field that’s expecting
20 percent job growth throughout this decade!
Business analysts are in demand and industry
watchers say the supply of qualified candidates has
not kept pace.
In the past, business analysts were seen as purely
functional members of the team: they’d observe
processes and gather resources to accomplish projects. Today, business analysts are valued as strategic
thinkers who apply interdisciplinary perspectives
to help businesses get the most out of technology.
While many business analysts enter the field
with a background in the business side, the best
opportunities are for those with foundation knowledge in IT, Marketing and Finance. UCSC Extension
offers proven curriculum in each of these areas, and
the Business Analysis Professional Award brings
together courses from several specialties to help
you build a strong foundation in this growing field.
3REVISED
AWARD REQUIREMENTS
Institute–PMP Professional Development Units 15 hours
To obtain the Professional Award in Business
Analysis, you must successfully complete 9 units
of prerequisite and required courses.
Standard practices and techniques in the Guide to the
Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide),
Fifth Edition, Project Management Institute, Inc., 2013,
work very well at established companies, but are not
always applicable to young companies or fast-track projects. In these turbulent environments, change occurs faster,
so managers and executives need to learn how to customize and use generally accepted project-management
practices in circumstances where project timelines are
compressed. Topics include adapting planning, scheduling,
tracking, and control techniques to accelerated projects;
leadership, politics, and the strategic aspects of project
management; key project-management processes;
managing virtual and cross-functional teams; and
Web-based project management.

qualifies for credit toward Master of Science degrees in
Project Management from leading national universities.
This level of quality is offered exclusively by UCSC Silicon
Valley Extension.
The program features some of the nation’s best
project management educators, all of whom are Master

WHAT StudentS SAY
GINA BELLO
TESOL Student
When Gina Bello relocated to California from
Colombia to earn a certificate in Teaching
English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL),
she got to see a different side to Silicon Valley
giants such as Google, Yahoo and Cisco. Bello
volunteered as an ESL assistant teacher with
a nonprofit dedicated to providing English
instruction to property-service workers—an
experience that reinforced teaching methods
and theories from her Extension courses.
Good Fit for International Students
As an international student, Bello was
first drawn to Extension’s program because it
offered F1 visa sponsorship and the opportunity
to qualify for optional practical training (OPT)—
and because the entire certificate could be
completed in one year. She appreciated the
focus on developing classroom management
skills and strategies for teaching learners of
all ages. She discovered a passion for online
education in her “Building Online Learning
Communities” course.
“I’ve seen the progression of teaching as a
field and as a business, and everything’s moving
toward e-Learning,” Bello says. “I liked getting
to know my strategy as a teacher and learning
how to become more dynamic and modern.”
Exciting Next Steps
Bello completed her certificate at Extension
in winter 2014 and hopes to pursue a graduate
degree in TESOL. She is on the lookout for
teaching opportunities in California.
“The program was intensive, but I’m seeing
the rewards now,” she says. “We’ll see if I can
be a pioneer.”

Introduction to Online Teaching
GPHR general recertification credit, 12.0 hours.
Technology has dramatically affected many aspects
of our lives, including the areas of teaching and learning.
Some teachers can be overwhelmed, while some
students seem to take it in stride, and vice versa. In this
survey course, students explore how online technologies
have changed the way instructors and students interact
and how that interplay may change in the future.
This course builds the skills needed to plan and
implement assessment and evaluation in corporate
training, and college and university settings. Best
practices share key characteristics. They promote high
expectations; address problem-solving; align with
objectives; determine methods and tools; respect diverse
talents and learning styles; and improve the knowledge,
skills, and performance of individuals, groups, and
organizations. Other topics in the course include methods
(e.g., performance-based, self-assessment, portfolios,
teamwork, fieldwork) and ways instructors can conduct
self-assessments (e.g., teaching or training portfolios).

MICHELLE DARLING
Database and Data Analytics
In her “Big Data: Tools, Concepts and
Deployment” course, Michelle Darling put her
data science skills to the test in front of a panel
of experts. In an effort to re-enter the world of
high tech, she had turned to UCSC Extension’s
Database and Data Analytics certificate program.
Her class project addressed a common
question—now that Big Data makes so much
information available, how do analysts make
sense of it? Darling’s group presented a case
study for how a hypothetical auto insurance
company might use data to solve the problem of
customer retention. Not only did they nail their
presentation, they won the competition. Their
success ignited her passion for data analytics.
Instructors Focused on Student Success
“One of UCSC Extension’s main differentiators
is its instructors,” she says. “All of them are
top-notch experts in their field. They are
very inspiring.”
Extension’s program gave her a strong
foundation in the practical applications of data
science, hands-on R programming, and the best
use cases for NoSQL databases such as
Cassandra and MongoDB.
Program Equips Students for the Future
“I wanted to jump ahead and learn about
Big Data analytics and data science,” she says.
“UCSC Extension’s professional certificate
is the program that most closely maps to
the targeted field of data analytics and
data science.”
When Darling completes her certificate, she
hopes to find an internship at a data analysis
or data science firm.

Program Summary
Web and interactive media provide the platforms to
deliver content to the worlds of e-commerce, news
communications, entertainment, gaming and social
networking. Designing a successful website or interactive
application involves understanding business needs, who
the end-users will be, and what is technically possible.
It starts with knowing the design process and the technical landscape. Designers need to know how to define
business problems, determine user needs, and apply
principles of information architecture, visual design, and
user experience design. They also need to know how to
manage content and use design tools to do functional
or visual designs. Some coding may also be required to
produce the best Web pages or interactive effects.
Our certificate program offers both foundation-level
and advanced design courses. Many of our Web Design
courses have been enhanced to include development
considerations for interactive media such as mobile
devices. Our introductory courses help students acquire
the broad, solid skills needed to become a competent
Web or interactive media designer. They can extend and
expand their skill set by taking related courses in this
or other certificate programs.
A UC certificate gives you strong knowledge
and hands-on experience.
To obtain the Certificate in Web and Interactive Media
Design, you must complete a minimum of 17 units
including two core courses and the required final
design project. For additional information, go to
ucsc-extension.edu/web.

General Information
Enrollment Policies
Financing Your Education
Drops, Withdrawals
and Alternate Grading
Income Tax Deductions
Drops: You may request to drop an Extension course
for which you are enrolled, but which has not yet
started, by completing the online drop request form
found at ucsc-extension.edu/drops.
Course fees are refundable only prior to the course
start date and a $40 processing fee will be withheld
for all drop requests. All refunds are put on account
toward future enrollments, unless otherwise requested.
All requests made by students must be submitted at
least seven calendar days before a class begins.
If we do not receive the request in that time
period, no refund will be granted. However, you
may still request to be withdrawn from the
course. See below for withdrawal instructions.
If you submit a timely drop request, course tuition
fees are refundable. However, registration fees, certificate
and award application fees and special requests are
non-refundable. Some UCSC Extension programs require
more advanced notice for drops and a larger amount is
forfeited when a drop is granted. Students with special
circumstances such as a medical or family emergency
may request exceptions, but proper documentation
of the special circumstance will be required.
Withdrawals: If you are unable to complete a course
for which you are enrolled, there are several options,
including Pass/No Pass (P/NP), No Credit (NC), or
Withdrawal.
If you wish to pursue one of these three options,
you must formally notify UCSC Extension at least seven
days prior to the last day of your course. Failure to
do so will result in an automatic “F” grade in the course;
and the “F” grade will be recorded in your permanent
academic record.
By requesting a Withdrawal, P/NP, or NC status, the
student acknowledges that there is no refund available,
and that the course will not be applicable to a certificate
program, and may not qualify for reimbursement from
the Workforce Investment Board or your company.
To request a Withdrawal, go to ucsc-extension.edu
and complete the online form, found in the Student
Services section of the website.
To request P/NP or NC status, please contact your
instructor.
Course Cancellations
UCSC Extension reserves the right to discontinue,
postpone or combine courses, and to change instructors
without notice. If a course is canceled, you may request
an official transfer to another course or a full refund of the
enrollment fee. UCSC Extension also reserves the right
to discontinue entire programs or make significant
changes in their structure without prior notice.
You may be able to deduct expenses for education that
is required by your employer, or by law or regulations,
to keep your salary, status or job, or that maintains or
improves skills required in your present work. If your
education qualifies, you may deduct the cost of items
such as tuition, books, supplies, lab fees, travel and
transportation (Internal Revenue Service Publication
508, Rev. Nov. 86).
Corporate Tuition Reimbursement
Many of UCSC Extension’s courses qualify for corporate
tuition reimbursement, especially those that pertain to
your current job or a future position in your company.
Be sure to check into the tuition-reimbursement
programs offered by your employer.
Tuition Assistance
Displaced or disadvantaged workers may be eligible for
retraining assistance through the Workforce Investment
Act (WIA) or the Employment Development Department
(EDD). For students who qualify, funds may be applied
toward the cost of the Extension course fees, books, and
materials. For additional information or to determine eligibility, contact either your local Workforce Investment Board
or Extension’s coordinator at [email protected].
Funding eligibility must be determined prior to enrolling
or participating in any course.

Academic Policies
Academic Credit and Course Numbering
The following information can be located under each
course title in the catalog: academic number (usually
preceded by the letter X), academic discipline in which
credit is granted, and the quarter-unit value of the
course.
Course numbers are classified as follows:
Lower division
1–99:
100–199:
Upper division
Professional courses in Education
300–399:
400–499:Professional courses in other departments
800 series or Noncredit or Continuing Education Units
non-numbered issued. (Academic credit and letter grade
not applicable.)
courses:
All credit is offered in quarter-system
units; semester equivalents are:
Quarter:1 11/2
2345
Semester: 2/31 11/32 22/331/3
Some courses bear the designation “credit approval
pending” after the X-number listed under the course
title. When this catalog went to press, these courses
were in the review process leading to approval for
academic credit. The credit status of the course can
be obtained by calling our course approval staff at
(408) 861-3700.
Continuing Education Units (ceus)
Continuing Education Units were established by a
national task force of educational associations and are
intended for use where employers, relicensing agencies,
or others require a specified number of hours of study,
and noncredit study is acceptable for fulfillment of those
requirements. One CEU is awarded for each 10 hours
of contact participation. Because CEUs are related to
contact time, grading is not appropriate.
Incomplete Grades
Transfer of UCSC Extension Credit
Under certain circumstances, an “incomplete” (“I”) may
be authorized for students who are unable to complete
a course within the prescribed time. Students must have
completed a minimum of 70 percent of the course work
and it must be of passing quality in order to qualify for
an incomplete grade.
To be considered for an incomplete, the
student must send a formal request by email to
[email protected] before the last class meeting. If approved, the instructor and program director
will agree upon the terms of the incomplete, including
the specific work required and the deadline for clearing
the incomplete. Once the necessary work has been
submitted, the “I” will be changed to the appropriate
grade. Incomplete grades must be cleared by the agreed
upon deadline or the “I” will convert to “F.”
Some Extension courses may be applied toward degrees.
We strongly encourage students to obtain confirmation
of acceptance of Extension credit by the admissions office
of the other campus or institution in advance of enrolling.
Grade Changes
Per policy, changes to a final recorded course grade can
be made only when there is evidence of a clerical or procedural error and never on the basis of re-examination
or completion of additional work. For more information,
including the formal grade appeals policy and process,
refer to the Grievance Resolution Process on page 93.
Grade appeals must be filed within 30 days of the date
grades are posted on your online student record.

general information
Privacy of Student Records
Student Conduct
The Registrar of UCSC Extension is responsible for
maintaining Extension student records, and any
questions about them should be addressed to the
Registrar’s Office in writing, at 2505 Augustine Drive,
Santa Clara, CA 95054-3003.
The policies governing the disclosure of information
from student records, specifically the Federal Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the
University of California Policies Applying to the Disclosure
of Information from Student Records, are available at
our office in Santa Clara. The full text of the federal law is
available at the Student Affairs Office, located at 245 Hahn
Student Services on the UCSC campus, (831) 459-4446.
UCSC Extension, as a unit of the University of California,
Santa Cruz, has high standards for academic integrity
and student conduct. Extension students are expected
to conform to a code of conduct that is appropriate
and considerate of our highly diverse adult learning environment. Disruption of teaching, learning, research or
administration through such activities as, but not limited
to, disorderly conduct, physical or verbal abuse, threats
of violence, academic dishonesty (including all forms of
plagiarism and cheating), forgery, theft, unsanctioned use
of alcohol, unlawful use of controlled substances, or any
other action that might threaten UCSC Extension property
or the health and safety of any person on UCSC Extension
property or attending any UCSC Extension-sponsored
event, will not be tolerated and is grounds for severe
sanction including arrest and dismissal. See the Student
Services page at ucsc-extension.edu/student-services
for our full list of student policies.
Note: The University is required by federal law to
request your SSN and report your SSN and other
pertinent information to the Internal Revenue
Service pursuant to the reporting requirements
imposed by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.
The University also will use the SSN you provide to
verify your identity. This notification is provided to
you as required by the Federal Privacy Act of 1974.
Crime Awareness
Federal law requires the reporting of crime statistics
on college and university campuses. For help in obtaining crime incidence information relative to UCSC
Extension’s classroom facilities, call Kevin McGowan at
(408) 861-3700. UCSC’s annual security report includes
statistics for the previous three years concerning
reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain
off-campus buildings owned or controlled by UCSC, and
on public property within, or immediately adjacent to
and accessible from the campus. The report also includes
institutional policies concerning campus security, such
as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime
prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and
other matters. You can obtain a copy of this report by
contacting the UCSC Police Department or by accessing
police.ucsc.edu/report/index.html.
Sexual Harassment
The University cherishes the free and open exchange
of ideas and enhancement of knowledge. Maintaining
this freedom and openness requires objectivity, mutual
trust and confidence; it requires the absence of coercion,
intimidation or exploitation. The principal responsibility for
maintaining these conditions must rest upon those members of the University community who exercise authority
and leadership: faculty, managers and supervisors.
The University has therefore instituted a number of
measures designed to protect its community from sexual
and other forms of harassment. Information, advice,
referrals and/or copies of UCSC’s Sex Offense Policy and
Procedures for Reports of Sexual Assault and Sexual
Harassment are available to all students, faculty and staff
by contacting Rita E. Walker, Title IX Coordinator/Sexual
Harassment Officer, 105 Kerr Hall, at (831) 459-2462.
The Title IX Coordinator is also available to investigate
other violations of Title IX. Questions regarding
discrimination may be directed to the Affirmative Action
Office at (831) 459-1590.
Grievance Resolution Process
UCSC Extension has a policy and process in place
to facilitate and expedite resolution of grade disputes
and Student complaints. Please follow the sequence
of steps below.
Contact the Instructor
Students are encouraged to begin by contacting their
instructor, either directly or through the department’s
Program Representative, to discuss their concerns.
To locate your Program Representative, call
Academic Services at (408) 861-3700 or email
[email protected] and include the name
of your department and course.

partnership with Amazon.com. Our website has a convenient search tool online at ucsc-extension.edu/bookstore.
Wireless Access
Wireless Internet access is provided all throughout our

of the UCSC Alumni Association after completing 15
or more units of credit courses. Call (408) 861-3700
for more information.
Contact the Program Representative
or Program Director
If a satisfactory resolution is not reached, or if your
dispute is with the Instructor, you can request that the
matter be reviewed at the academic department level.
Grade disputes or complaints in writing must
be submitted to the Program Representative
or Program Director within one month of the
final grade being posted online. The Program
Representative or Director will review your written
grievance and discuss it with you and the instructor
in separate meetings. In most cases, the dispute will
be resolved here.
Appeal to the Academic Review Committee
You may appeal cases that are not readily resolved at
the department level to the Academic Review Committee
(ARC). The ARC will formally review the grievance or
complaint. If the issue is resolved to your satisfaction,
the ARC will render a written resolution and submit it
to the Office of the Registrar.
Our Facility is a Tobacco-Free Zone
Effective January 1, 2014, our Santa Clara facility
is a tobacco and smoke free zone in accordance with
UC system-wide policy. This policy includes exterior areas
of our property including walkways, patios and parking
areas, and applies to cigarettes, cigars, pipes and any
other delivery method including smokeless tobacco and
e-cigarettes. Please help us provide a safe and healthy
environment for work and study by refraining from the
use of these products on our property. We understand
that cessation can be a challenge. To find strategies
that can help, visit the American Lung Association’s
site at FFSonline.org.
Appeal to the Dean
In cases where a resolution is not reached, the final
level of appeal at UCSC Extension is the Office of the
Dean. The Dean will personally review the case and
recommend a resolution. If a resolution can be reached
to the student’s satisfaction, the Dean will write a final
statement of resolution, sending a copy to the Student,
Instructor and Program Representative or Director.
The Dean will record the final determination with
the Office of the Registrar.
Appeal to the Office of Campus Counsel
If a resolution cannot be reached within UCSC Extension,
the matter is referred to the Office of Campus Counsel.

The Open Campus Concurrent Enrollment Program
administered by UCSC Silicon Valley Extension allows
you to enroll in courses offered on the UCSC campus
without being formally admitted to a degree program.
As a Concurrent Enrollment student, you may take up
to ten units per quarter, or more by petition.
Studying on campus will expose you to cutting-edge
research, new developments in your field, and the latest
teaching methods. The experience will help you focus and
refine your advanced education goals. Class participation
and assignments are the same as for regular students.
Most students are able to take the campus courses
they want, but admission is on a space-available basis,
and may require prerequisites as well as consent of the
instructor. Some courses are also available at UCSC
Silicon Valley in Santa Clara. The Concurrent Enrollment
Program is available during the fall, winter, and
spring quarters.
