Curriculum Development

 

It is the responsibility of the Curriculum Committee to review curriculum, establish prerequisites, course placement in disciplines, assigning course identifiers, degree and certificate requirements, grading policies, maintain and update the discipline list, and making recommendations to the President for action by the Board of Trustees.  All new courses, as well as changes in current course content, structure, or credit, must be reviewed by this committee.  Develop process and timeline for review of academic programs. View Complete Curriculum Committee Charge 

The Curriculum Committee meets on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Mondays [non-holiday periods]. In Fall 2023, meetings will be in-person (Rm. 2414) and via Zoom for guests. All members of the campus community are welcome.
