What do I have to do as a Reviewer?

  • Check for typos, omissions, misspelled technical terms, etc. to department/discipline descriptions.  The catalog has been spellchecked, but many technical terms were flagged as misspelled because they were not in the spellchecker dictionary.  In most cases, these terms were left as is.
  • Check for curriculum (course and program) changes. Note curriculum changes that have not received all of the appropriate approvals will not be added to the catalog until they are approved.
    • All program revisions must be approved by CIC, Board of Trustees, and CCCCO before they may be published in the college catalogs.  Certificates of Performance revisions do not require CCCCO Approval.
    • All new programs must be approved by CIC, Board of Trustees, CCCCO, and ACCJC before they may be published in the college catalogs.  All new certificates of achievement must receive Department of Education (DOE) approval before students may receive financial aid.  New Certificates of Performance do not require CCCCO, ACCJC, or DOE approval.
    • Substantive course revisions and new courses must be approved by CIC, the Board of Trustees, CCCCO, and before they may be published in the college catalogs.
