Procedure for Curriculum Proposals
| Procedure | Note: Two readings of a proposal are usually required for a proposal to be passed by the Faculty Senate. In addition, all proposals must come through a Campus Senate before being heard by the full Senate. All approved proposals are implemented in the fall term. |
Curriculum Proposal Forms
| New Course | This proposal form is used to create a new course that has not previously been offered at the college. It should be accompanied by a Change to Core Curriculum, Program of Study, or Academic Standards form to add the new course to a program of study and/or area. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
| New Program of Study | This proposal form is used to create new programs of study that have not previously been offered by the college. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
| Course Deletion | This proposal form is used to delete an existing course. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
| Course Change | This proposal form is used to make changes to an existing course; however, changes such as a course number, title, or abbreviation cannot be made to existing courses. To change a course's number, title, or abbreviation, the old course must be deleted and a new course created. This form is used to make changes to a course description, course content, credit and/or contact hours, pre-requisites, etc. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
| Change to Core Curriculum, Program of Study, or Academic Standards | This proposal form is used to make changes to current standards or programs or study. For example, when new courses are created, they must be accompanied by a proposal to change a program of study to incorporate the new course into the program. Other changes, such as changes to placement testing, exit requirements, or exclusion policies, are also made on this form. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
| Other Curriculum Changes | This proposal form is for other changes not covered under the Change to Core Curriculum, Program of Study, or Academic Standards form. This form is not for non-curriculum matters such as issues dealing with faculty concerns. All supporting documentation should be incorporated into the proposal file itself. Additional electronic files should not accompany the proposal file unless those files, such as Excel spreadsheets, are incompatible with the Word document. |
