Procedure 4.3: Existing Program Revision Process

Based on program review, faculty and/or department chairs for a given program may recommend changes to an existing curriculum.

  1. During the fall semester, program managers/department chairs will review current program of study with faculty and staff of their respective departments.
  2. Before November 15, the program manager/department chair will present the proposed changes to the Curriculum Committee, who will have the opportunity for input, validation and recommendations.
  3. The Curriculum Committee will recommend approval to the Vice President of Academic and Workforce Development prior to November 30.
  4. The College President delegates authority to the Vice President for Academic and Workforce Development to grant approval for program revisions.
  5. With this approval, the proposed changes are sent to the NCCCS Office for approval.
  6. If the proposed changes are not approved at some point, or if changes other than those proposed are recommended, the process will begin anew with the originating faculty and academic department chair.
  7. Approved changes will appear in the next College Catalog and will become effective the following fall semester.
  8. Changes may become effective at mid-year (spring semester) only in certain situations, such as outside agency requirement, etc.
