Directions for Curriculum Submission

1. Please fill out the appropriate form(s). If you need assistance, please contact your designated Curriculum Committee member (see website listing), or your Department Chair. Remember, before undertaking any curriculum activities, be sure to consult with your Department Chair to make sure they are aware of what you're planning. You can also request assistance from Bobbi Kimble in the Office of Academic Affairs, or from Deirdre Wood, Curriculum Committee Chair.

2. If you are proposing a new course and requesting transferability, please contact the Articulation Officer, Deirdre Wood, for instructions and assistance prior to attending Agenda Review.

3. After completing all forms, email them to Deirdre Wood. And ask that they be placed on the next Agenda Review Committee meeting agenda.

4. Attend the Agenda Review meeting on your scheduled date. Bring 1 hard copy of your proposed curriculum for the Committee to review and edit.

5. After you have met with the Agenda Review Committee, you will be advised as to whether you should:

• Make the minor revisions the Committee has requested, and forward the corrected copy directly to Deirdre Wood for calendaring at the next Curriculum Committee meeting, or
  
  
• Make the substantial revisions requested and return to the next Agenda Review meeting for final review and approval.

6. Note the date that your completed curriculum is up for Curriculum Committee approval, and plan to attend on that day. Please arrange to bring your Department Chair, and be prepared to respond to any questions the committee may have.

Please Note: the Curriculum Committee is not the place for final proofreading and verification of form contents. That is the purpose of the Agenda Review meeting. In respect for your colleagues' time and efforts, please ensure that all forms brought to the Committee are completed and proofread. Incomplete or incorrect forms will be returned for Agenda Review clearance.

7. After Committee approval, you will get all appropriate signatures for all signature pages in the entire package (i.e., curriculum form, prerequisite form, etc.).

8. When you have all signatures completed, bring the final hard copy to Bobbi Kimble in A-106. At the same time, email her soft copy of all completed forms. She needs both copies in order to transmit them to the District and follow up for approval.

9. All NEW courses are required to have a 20-day posting period for public comments before they are sent to the Board of Trustees for approval and entered into Protocol. For a calendar of posting dates, click here

NOTE: As of February 1, 2006, Trade-Tech has been authorized for electronic transmittal of local documents to the District; Bobbi is the designated point of contact for those transmittals. Therefore, both hard and soft copy are critical. Please give her a call at 763-7037 if you have any questions or need assistance.

Please don't send forms directly to the District or State yourself! The District will return them if you do.

Thank you !
