The Certificate of Completion in Foundations of Literacy Skills prepares students with little or no academic background in their first language with the preliminary English language and literacy skills needed to function at a basic level in everyday situations at work, school and in the community. Literacy foundation skills are emphasized through a variety of instructional methods and strategies that focus on the development of sound-symbol correspondence, vocabulary development and survival English. Lessons are delivered through direct instruction, exercises and interactive activities that provide opportunities for students to develop basic English reading, writing and speaking skills in meaningful contexts.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:

- Communicate basic personal information and follow simple directions; and

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
