Madelline (the Articulation Officer) announced to all faculty archiving courses…

Once a course is archived it is

·  deleted from the catalog,

·  removed from ASSIST,

·  removed from UC and CSU transfer lists and

·  removed from ALL advising forms (IGETC, CSU and AA plans).

If a course is reinstated, it may take a minimum of 1-2 years to have a course approved for transfer and for the course to be placed on the advising forms again.

C.  Clarification of Curriculum Committee verses Technical Review Subcommittee

Duties: After some discussion, the current policies of the Curriculum Committee were reinforced: the goals of the two committees are distinct. Technical Review evaluates curriculum materials for completeness whereas the full committee evaluates the content of the form (not to be confused with the content of the course). It was also reinforced that since the goals of the committees are distinct, approval of materials by one does not determine approval by the other. The committee recommended that these policies be reiterated at the Academic Senate meeting and that Curriculum workshops would also be helpful.

D.  Spring semester curriculum calendar

Said discussed addition of January meeting due to the faculty deadline of March for updating courses which are currently being taught.

IV.  Committee Reports

A. District Curriculum Committee and Academic Senate (Said Pazirandeh)
