Committee Business

/ Revised submission form for CCCNS and other documentation are being developed to help with the process and ensure accuracy. The new forms list a maximum of 20 competencies, but do give an option to justify why there is more for those programs who require more than 20. Also includes areas to show what the old course credits or title were if they are being changed.
Removal and addition of Degrees w/ Designation to the catalog. Some of the DWD need to be removed because we either don’t have the equipment/facilities to offer them or we can’t offer some of the classes because our numbers won’t support them.

Reminder that everyone should be looking at the catalog for accuracy and any changes they want to make right now. Make sure to submit your changes by the Catalog change form
The new scores for the exams that will replace the Accuplacer tests should be included in the catalog. We will probably need to keep the scores for both tests in the catalog for at least a year to ensure people with Accuplacer scores know where they land in our requirements. Carol Kuper is going to come up with a general score chart but each program will need to look at their Accuplacer scores and correlate them to a new percentage for the new test.
