CLUSTER
  Title: Advanced Manufacturing
  Programs in cluster: 6

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Advanced Manufacturing (AS Degree):
      You'll complete your required major coursework at Main Campus, though you'll need to combine it with another location or Online for some courses since not all requirements are reliably offered there. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of Butte's centers or Online, so you have flexibility in how you structure those courses around your major work.
  • Advanced Manufacturing (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to be at Main Campus for most of your major's required coursework, though you'll find some gaps in the schedule there. Plan to combine Main Campus with Online or another Butte center for the courses that don't run regularly at Main, and remember that you can complete your general education requirements at any of our centers or online.
  • Manufacturing Operations (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to complete your required coursework across multiple locations, as no single Butte center has reliable coverage of all the courses you need. Plan to combine courses at Main Campus, the Chico Center, and Glenn Center, or consider taking some courses Online to fill in the gaps. Meet with a counselor to map out a schedule that works for your situation.
  • Production Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete all required coursework for Production Management at Main Campus, so plan to attend there for your major courses. Your general education requirements can be completed at Main Campus or at any of our other centers and online, whichever works best with your schedule.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Level I (Certificate of Achievement):
      For this certificate, you'll need to plan on attending Skyway Center for your required manufacturing coursework—that's where the program's major classes are reliably offered. You can complete your general education requirements at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there, but the core technical work happens at Skyway Center.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Level II (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to plan on attending Skyway Center for your major's required coursework, since that's where the Advanced Manufacturing courses are reliably offered. You can complete your general education requirements at any of Butte's centers or online, so you have flexibility there. Check with a counselor to confirm the specific course schedule before you enroll.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern. Note distinct outliers ONLY if a program's availability story differs in a way that affects student decisions (e.g., one program is online-only, others are not).

  - Plain, student-facing language.
  - Refer to "the programs in this cluster" or "these programs" — don't list each program by name unless an outlier needs calling out.
  - If all programs share the same flexibility story, write one unified statement.
  - Do NOT list percentages, term codes, or jargon.
  - Lead with the most flexible/strongest availability and follow with caveats.
  - Refer to locations ONLY by official center names (Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, Skyway Center, Cosmetology Center, Online). NEVER use a city or town name — no Oroville, no Willows, and never "Chico" as a city. Write "at the Chico Center", never "in Chico" — even if a per-program statement below used a city name, do not repeat it.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown.

CLUSTER
  Title: Construction Management
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Construction Management (AS Degree):
      You'll need to plan on spending most of your time at Main Campus for Construction Management required courses, since that's where the bulk of them run reliably. You can fill in any gaps by taking courses at the Chico Center, Glenn Center, or Online, and you can complete your general education requirements at any of our locations or online. Since schedules can shift, sit down with a counselor to map out your specific path before you register.
  • Construction Management (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll do most of your Construction Management coursework at Main Campus, where the required courses have been reliably available. You'll likely need to take a few courses at the Chico Center or online to fill in gaps, so plan on combining Main Campus with at least one other location. Meet with a counselor to map out your specific sequence and confirm current offerings.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern.

PROGRAM
  Title: Applied Construction
  Award: Certificate of Achievement

LOCATIONS
  - Main Campus — Butte's main campus.
  - Chico Center — general center; many transfer-degree courses run there.
  - Glenn Center — satellite center.
  - Skyway Center — the dedicated home of the Auto Technology and
    Industrial / Power Pathway programs.
  - Cosmetology Center — the dedicated home of the Cosmetology and
    Barbering programs.
  - Online means a student can take it from anywhere with internet.
  - Dual Enrollment sections are taught at participating high schools
    across the region (NOT at Butte's centers). Coverage varies by HS.

LOCATION NAMING — HARD RULE
  Refer to locations ONLY by the official names exactly as listed above
  (Main Campus, Chico Center, Glenn Center, Skyway Center, Cosmetology
  Center, Online). NEVER mention a city or town name — no Oroville, no
  Willows, no Paradise, and never "Chico" as a city — not even
  alongside a center name. Students read a city name as the town
  itself, and Butte's campuses don't sit where the names suggest (Main
  Campus is not "in Oroville" in any practical sense). Write "at the
  Chico Center", never "in Chico". Write "at Main Campus", never "in
  Oroville".

RELIABLE REQUIRED-COURSE OFFERINGS BY LOCATION (last two academic years)
A required course counts as "reliably offered" at a location only if it
showed a REGULAR PATTERN — at least one section in BOTH window falls or
in BOTH window springs. A one-off section doesn't count: the student
can't bank on it coming back. For Select-N slots (e.g. "Select two"),
the slot is reliably satisfied at a location only when ≥N of its
options are reliably offered there.

  Main Campus:    Partial  (8 of 9 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Chico Center:   GE only  (0 of 9 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Glenn Center:   GE only  (0 of 9 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Online:         GE only  (0 of 9 required slots reliably satisfiable here)
  Dual Enrollment:       Partial  (1 of 9)  ← specialized center

WHAT EACH STATUS MEANS
  - "Yes"     — every required slot has reliable coverage at this location. A student can plan to take their major coursework here.
  - "Partial" — SOME required slots are reliably covered here, but not all. A student who wants to attend mostly at this location will have to combine it with another location or with Online for the gaps.
  - "GE only" — NO required slots are reliably covered here. The student can complete GE breadth here, but for the major's required courses they'll have to go elsewhere.

GROUND TRUTHS YOU MUST RESPECT
  - For Associate degrees, GE breadth requirements can be completed at ANY Butte center or online. That's a given for every Associate program — you don't have to belabor it, but you may briefly mention it when the student's location story for required courses is unfavorable.
  - When a Skyway-Center or Cosmetology-Center program shows "Yes" at its specialized center, LEAD with that — those programs are housed there by design, and the student should plan on being at that center (not Main Campus) for the bulk of their major coursework.
  - Don't tell a student to come to Main Campus when the program's specialized center has full reliable coverage. Main might still be useful for GE; the major work is at the specialized center.
  - "GE only" is NOT "Partial". Don't soften it. Say plainly the program's required coursework isn't taught there.
  - Online is a real option for some programs, but ONLY when its column is "Yes". Don't promise online completion based on "Partial".
  - Dual Enrollment coverage is an aggregate across participating high schools — at any single HS the available courses are typically far fewer. If you mention dual enrollment, mention that "what's offered at your high school will vary."
  - Even "Yes" is "has been reliably available recently" — future schedules can shift. The student should still meet with a counselor.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Two to three short, plain sentences in second person ("you can…", "you'll need to…"). Lead with where the major's required coursework actually runs reliably — that's what determines where the student has to be. Be honest, not promotional.

  - Do NOT list percentages or course counts.
  - Do NOT promise future schedules.
  - Do NOT use the words "completability", "completable", "AY", or "primary location".
  - Do NOT call a "GE only" location a place to "complete the program" — they can't.

OUTPUT
  Return ONLY the statement text. No preamble, no quotation marks, no markdown headers.

CLUSTER
  Title: Drafting and CAD Technology
  Programs in cluster: 2

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • Drafting and CAD Technology (AS Degree):
      You'll need to base yourself at Main Campus for most of your major coursework, since that's where the required Drafting and CAD courses run reliably. You can fill in any gaps with Online sections or complete your general education requirements at any of our centers or online, so you have some flexibility around the edges—but plan on Main Campus as your main location.
  • Drafting and CAD Technology (Certificate of Achievement):
      You can complete the required coursework for this certificate by attending at Main Campus or by taking courses Online, though you'll likely need to combine one of these with the other to cover all your major requirements. Your general education courses can be finished at any of our centers or online, whichever works best with your schedule.

WHAT TO WRITE
  Write 2 to 3 sentences that summarize the AVAILABILITY STORY shared by these programs. Most programs in a cluster will have similar availability — name the common pattern.

  Title: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR)
  Programs in cluster: 6

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • HVACR (AS Degree):
      You'll need to be at Main Campus for most of your HVACR required courses, since that's where the reliable offerings are — but you won't find all of them there. Plan to combine Main Campus with Online or another Butte center for the gaps in the schedule. Your general education can be completed at any of our locations or online, which gives you some flexibility around the major coursework.
  • HVACR (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to be at Main Campus for most of your HVACR required coursework, since that's where the program's major classes run reliably. You may also need to take some courses Online or at another Butte center to fill in any gaps, and your general education requirements can be completed at any of our locations.
  • HVACR Level III (Certificate of Achievement):
      For the HVACR Level III Certificate, the required technical courses aren't reliably offered at any single Butte location based on recent scheduling patterns. You'll need to plan on combining locations or working with a counselor to map out which terms offer the courses you need. General education can be completed at any of our centers or online, but for the hands-on major coursework, expect to move between locations as the schedule allows.
  • HVACR Level IV (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to complete your required HVACR coursework at Skyway Center, where this program is based. Your general education requirements can be finished at any of our centers or online, giving you flexibility around your major courses.
  • Commercial HVACR (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to complete your required coursework at Main Campus, the Chico Center, and Glenn Center combined, since no single location reliably offers all the courses you need. Your best move is to plan on attending whichever of these centers has the sections that fit your schedule, and you can knock out your general education requirements at any of our locations or online.
  • Residential HVACR (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to complete your required coursework at Main Campus, where the full sequence of HVACR courses has been reliably available. Your general education requirements can be finished at any of our centers or online, so you have flexibility there—but plan on doing your major work at Main Campus.

You can fill in any gaps with online sections or by taking your general education requirements at any of our centers or online. Since scheduling can shift, it's worth confirming the specific courses you need with a counselor before you register.
  • Mechanized Agriculture (Certificate of Achievement):
      You'll need to plan on attending Main Campus for most of your required coursework, though you may need to take one or two courses elsewhere or online to fill in the gaps. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, which gives you some flexibility for those courses. I'd recommend meeting with a counselor to map out a schedule that works with your location constraints.

PER-PROGRAM STATEMENTS
  • 3D Mechanical Applications (Certificate):
      You can complete the required coursework for this certificate at Main Campus, where all the major courses are reliably offered. If you prefer to study elsewhere, Online covers some of the requirements, but you'd need to combine it with Main Campus or another location to finish all the required courses.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Level III (Certificate):
      You'll need to plan on attending Main Campus for your required major coursework, since that's where the core classes for this certificate have been reliably offered. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, which gives you flexibility around those courses.
  • Advanced Manufacturing Level IV (Certificate):
      You can complete the required coursework for this certificate at Main Campus. Your general education courses can be taken at any of Butte's centers or online, giving you flexibility there, but plan on Main Campus for your major classes.
  • Architectural Drafting and Modeling (Certificate):
      You'll need to split your required coursework between Main Campus and Online, since neither location alone has reliable coverage of all the courses you need. Main Campus covers some of your major requirements, while Online fills in additional gaps—plan to use both as you move through the program. Your general education requirements can be completed at any of our centers or online, which gives you flexibility in scheduling around your major courses.
  • HVACR Level I (Certificate):
      You can complete the required coursework for HVACR Level I at Main Campus, where all the major courses you need are reliably offered.
