*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) 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 in order to be considered (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.
