As a result of a need for extended-opportunity programs and services and a legislative mandate in California Senate Bill 164, off-campus programs were developed to extend educational programs to all sections of the community and to accommodate students in off-campus locations. Rio Hondo College (California) developed guidelines in the following areas: nature of programs, criteria and procedures for course selections, minimum class size, site selections, staff recruitment and assignment, staff supportive facilities, registration procedures, and evaluation of off-campus programs. A total of 233 students in off-campus classes responded to questionnaires administered by instructors. Ten recommendations are made. (CA)
