7-5 Steps in the Curriculum Process
Overview

This section of the manual describes the steps in the curriculum review process for academic courses and revisions, new technical programs, technical revisions, and technical courses. The proposal is submitted on the curriculum proposal form found in Appendix A. Resources for proposal development are available in Appendix B.

Although curriculum development is a year-round process, a fall deadline of September 15 and a spring deadline on January 30 exist. This is to accommodate scheduling of the campus and district curriculum committees. The fall deadline is strongly recommended for academic course/technical program changes that will be reflected in the catalog revisions and the fall schedule. The campus curriculum committee will consider proposals beginning in October of each academic year.
