"Same as" courses: All courses that have "same as" courses must revise both in Curricunet in order for your course(s) to be approved.

All new and revised courses need to meet the established class size guidelines (located under LINKS).  If class size does not meet the guidelines, a justification must be provided explaining why it is different.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) will be required for all new and revised courses being submitted for curriculum approval.

Priority will be given to UC-TCA, CSU GE, and/or IGETC course submittals during the Fall curriculum review cycle.  Due to specific deadlines required by UC and CSU, it is critical for these submittals to be prelaunched in Spring 2009. Please consult with the Articulation Officer at extension 47025, prior to prelaunching your course.  Faculty are encouraged to prelaunch their proposals between the April 1 - May 22, 2009 time frame.
