Curriculum Process Summary

1. For your proposed changes to be considered by the committee, you must send signed hard copies of all forms that apply as well as electronic copies of all documents to the Curriculum Coordinator John Armour jarmour@cocc.edu in the Office of Instructional Deans.  Department chairs will be involved in the oversight of this process. Curriculum Forms/Documents 
2. Once your documents are received, they will be reviewed by the Office of Instructional Deans.  If there are questions about the proposed changes, you will be contacted by someone in the Deans office or a member of the Curriculum Committee.  If you have questions while filling out the appropriate forms please contact the Curriculum Coordinator at x3772; by working together early we can streamline the process and reduce time spent making changes.
3. Proposed course and/or program changes will be placed on the Curriculum Committee Meeting agenda in the order they are received and complete.  You and the department chair will receive notification when your proposed changes are on the agenda.
4. The department chair or a designated department representative must be present at the Curriculum Committee meeting for first reading.
5. Second reading will take place at least two weeks after first reading.  If the committee has no further questions regarding the proposed changes after first reading, a department representative will not be required to attend the Curriculum Committee meeting for their second reading.  The committee may ask a department representative to be present for second reading if changes to the proposed course/program were suggested during first reading.  If course or program changes were suggested the department will have one week to send the applicable documents to the Curriculum Coordinator for distribution to the committee; this will also expedite scheduling for second reading.
