1. DISCUSSION ITEMS:

1. Programs and Courses Approval Timeline

Changes were made but not discussed. Each division was provided lists of the CORs that need review this year as well as a list of programs that have been affected by curriculum changes. Divisions were also given the courses that need C-ID updating. Discussion was had regarding when programs should be submitted. It was asked if programs should be submitted every time a course is inactivated or changed, but due to the Chancellor’s office long approval time table, it is more efficient to look at programs and make any necessary course changes at once. The curriculum timeline was provided as there are only four Curriculum and General Education meetings left in this academic year where course and programs will be reviewed.

1. STATUS UPDATE FROM DIVISIONS
2. Jacobi updated the committee on various curriculum matters being discusses across the campus. Chris Flachmann may report out during the January in-service Curriculum and General Education meeting regarding incarcerated students and the work being done. Dual enrollment is being discussed in the Academic Senate. A Faculty Inquiry Group was held a few weeks ago to discuss the CSU General Education. There is interest in continued work in this area, but probably won’t happen in the Spring semester. A question was asked about the development of a noncredit welding course, and Tori is taking that discussion back to the division. No other divisions reported out.
