7-5 Assumptions

  1. All appropriate college personnel (presidents, vice presidents of instruction, deans, associate deans, department chairs, and faculty) will have an opportunity for input into the new program development process.
  2. Program proposals that are not on the prioritization of new program development may be brought to the chancellor’s cabinet by campus presidents. If the proposal is approved, the campus may proceed with curriculum development. The need for such a program could occur as a result of a specific industry request that could not be anticipated.
  3. The prioritization of new program development will be reviewed each year by the chancellor's cabinet and adjusted in accordance with emerging employment and market trends.
  4. The program development process may result in recommendation of either credit or non-credit delivery of training. If determined to be a non-credit or CEU delivery of training, the curriculum proposal team works with the continuing education dean to implement the program.
