of Regulations, Title 5, the District may grant equivalency for a discipline to those applicants who provide conclusive evidence of equivalency to the published minimum qualifications. Disciplines Requiring a Master\u2019s Degree, and Disciplines in Which a Master\u2019s Degree is Generally Not Expected or Available but Which Requires a Specific Bachelor\u2019s or Associate\u2019s Degree: Conclusive evidence of equivalency to a degree is based on documentation that an applicant possesses the general education and the major course work required for the published minimum qualifications. Disciplines in Which a Master\u2019s Degree is Generally Not Available: Conclusive evidence of equivalency to a degree is based on documentation that an applicant possesses the general education and the major course work required for the published minimum qualifications. In addition, conclusive evidence of equivalency to required experience is based on mastery of the skills for the discipline and extensive and diverse knowledge of the working environment of the vocation. This process applies to any person who seeks to meet the published minimum qualifications through equivalency, including but not limited to: \u2022 Full-time and Part-time faculty \u2022 Educational administrators with faculty retreat rights \u2022 Leave replacements and specially funded positions All candidates seeking equivalency must submit an Equivalency Request Form (Appendix A) to the District Office of Human Resources. If an applicant does not agree with the results of his/her equivalency request, an appeal may be submitted to the Equivalency Oversight Committee using the Equivalency Appeal Request Form (Appendix D). This appeal is reviewed based on adhearance to equivalency process and procedures only. If the evaluation adheres to the guidelines for equivalency, the Discipline-Based Minimum Qualifications/Equivalency Committee\u2019s (MQ/EQ Committee) decision will stand. If the evaluation deviates from the guidelines for equivalency, the MQ/EQ Committee will be asked to re-evaluate the request, using the correct procedures. The applicant will be notified with the EqOC Appeal Determination Form (Appendix E). Equivalency Criteria/Qualification For disciplines requiring a master\u2019s degree, equivalency may be granted based on one of the following: \u2022 Completion of a master\u2019s degree from an accredited institution in a different discipline. \u2022 Completion of the course work and academic requirements (such as a thesis or practicum) for the master's degree from accredited institutions in the discipline without the award of the degree. \u2022 Completion of a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and not less than 30 graduate units (48 quarter units) of appropriate and relevant course \u2022 Work from accredited institutions if the course work equals a master's degree in the discipline in breadth, depth, and rigor. \u2022 Completion of a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution plus additional appropriate and relevant graduate course work from accredited institutions and verifiable experience in the discipline which would require knowledge of the discipline equal to the level required in the minimum qualifications. For disciplines in which the master's degree is not generally expected or available, equivalency may be granted based one of the following: \u2022 Six years of documented experience in the discipline and 60 undergraduate semester units (90 quarter units) from accredited institutions comparable to the breadth and depth of coursework equal to an associate's degree. \u2022 Two years of documented experience in the discipline, and 120 undergraduate semester units (180 quarter units) from accredited institutions. \u2022 Six years of documented experience in the discipline and undergraduate course work from accredited institutions where the combination of course work and additional experience equals the associate's degree in breadth, depth and rigor. Equivalency Provisions \u2022 Equivalency is granted on a District-wide basis. \u2022 Equivalency is granted for a discipline and not for a specific course within a discipline (no single-course equivalencies allowed). \u2022 Equivalency must be evaluated prior to the initial interview process. \u2022 All deliberations of the MQ/EQ Committee and all records involved in the proceedings shall be confidential. \u2022 A determination of equivalency does not guarantee an interview, employment, or reassignment. The determination of equivalency establishes that the individual meets the minimum qualifications for a position in a particular discipline, but does not bestow rights to any position or process. \u2022 The granting of an equivalency is on a case-by-case basis and does not establish precedent for future applicants. \u2022 Equivalency shall not be granted on a \"contingency\" or \"emergency\" basis pending additional review or receipt of documentation for any reason. \u2022 Equivalency shall not be granted to an individual who has completed required coursework for their degree but failed to complete additional remaining requirements such as a thesis, qualifying exam, etc. All requirements for the degree must be completed in order to be considered for equivalency. \u2022 Teaching experience is not equivalent to experience in the discipline.", "size": 2, "hash": "4c7382f1ce76adbf224ad6fabc3d28bf", "id": 7}, {"samples": [{"hash": "2275j2epxwc", "uri": "/contracts/2275j2epxwc#equivalency", "label": "Collective Bargaining Agreement", "score": 25.5379876797, "published": true}, {"hash": "bNRYGR6B7ju", "uri": "/contracts/bNRYGR6B7ju#equivalency", "label": "Collective Bargaining Agreement", "score": 25.1820670773, "published": true}, {"hash": "8OzlP78A2Qf", "uri": "/contracts/8OzlP78A2Qf#equivalency", "label": "Collective Bargaining Agreement", "score": 24.6687200548, "published": true}], "snippet_links": [{"key": "to-the-extent", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 13]}, {"key": "elementary-preparation-time", "type": "clause", "offset": [35, 62]}, {"key": "school-period", "type": "definition", "offset": [117, 130]}, {"key": "in-no-case", "type": "clause", "offset": [132, 142]}, {"key": "elementary-preparation-period", "type": "clause", "offset": [151, 180]}, {"key": "the-district", "type": "clause", "offset": [220, 232]}, {"key": "to-provide", "type": "definition", "offset": [243, 253]}, {"key": "employees-with", "type": "clause", "offset": [275, 289]}, {"key": "per-day", "type": "definition", "offset": [344, 351]}, {"key": "full-week", "type": "definition", "offset": [393, 402]}, {"key": "sum-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [418, 424]}, {"key": "the-minutes", "type": "clause", "offset": [425, 436]}, {"key": "high-school-preparation-periods", "type": "clause", "offset": [445, 476]}], "snippet": "To the extent that it is possible, elementary preparation time will be provided in daily blocks equivalent to a high school period.
