September 19, 2013Page 2 There was much discussion on requiring all of the areas in each course. Somecommittee members expressed concern that it lengthens the course outline andsome of these items may not be feasible in all classrooms. A suggested revision to the intro was given to D. Beaulieu to bring back toDeborah Harrington. It was suggested that we add the following phrase in all five areas, “Please providea representative example.” Use language from the current course outline in number 1, Effective Reading andCommunication in the Discipline (reading skill description) and number 2, CriticalThinking in the Discipline.Kathleen asked the committee to continue the discussion on their campuses and bring ideas forrevisions back to the committee in October.8. ECD last update and comments/info-S. Berger informed the committee that they haveuntil January to send in the correct update date.

QTOP-procedure for changes-K. Bimber shared that she and David are working with J.Clerx and Human Resources to come up with a procedure for changes to the QTOPlist. Once the ECD system is in full use there will need to be a procedure in place thatfacilitates getting this information into the QTOP table.10. Revised Noncredit Course Outline-the committee reviewed the course outline andmade the following suggestions: Section I, put a box for approval date in the front. Section II, number 9- add the statement “Methods of evaluation may include, but arenot limited to the following:” Section III number 5- check to see if the list of TOP Codes are in a drop down box.Number 7 check to see if the drop down box lists JKN only. Number 8 check to see ifthis is a drop down box. Number10, take out “No” under Priority E. Number 12- K.Burke-Kelly will send a statement for material fee guidelines. Number 13, take out thebox with Apprenticeship. Section IV remove “Addition of Existing District Course,” since all noncredit coursesneed to be approved by the state. Section VI-remove the statement at the top of the page.

Sheri will email out the final version with the DCC approval date.6. Essential Academic Skills within the Course Outline-committee members voiced severalconcerns about including resources in this section and requiring all faculty to infuse thisinto their course. Some comments centered on the feeling that this was a student serviceissue and was not appropriate for the course outline and an unfair burden on faculty whohave little time to complete course requirements. It was also mentioned that CSU’s do notlook for this in a course outline therefore it shouldn’t be there. It was also felt that justbecause it is written in the course outline it doesn’t mean faculty will do it. In defensesome spoke to the fact that since faculty interact the most with students that they couldimpact their success by helping them to seek out and learn about resources that willincrease their success toward achieving their goals.7.

SAM Code as district-wide attribute-the committee discussed the problem of allowingSAM Codes to be different at each campus since this conflicts with the new procedures forobtaining a new CB00 number whenever there are changes. A motion was presented tomove SAM Codes to District Attributes and a campus will need to submit a CourseChange Request form in order to change this attribute. The motion was moved, secondedand passed.New Business:9. CCC 531 procedures-beginning January 1stCB00 numbers are required for every courseincluding 99’s, additions to an existing course, and new courses must all be approved bythe Board before they can be sent to the state. Courses sent to Harold will be put in asfuture and when the BOT approves he will enter an approved date. At that point the CCC531 will be sent to the state. Sheri Berger expressed concern at the amount of timebetween approval by the Board and the course becomes active. The course can’t bescheduled unless we have a CB00 number. Students will not be able to enroll until thecourse has Board approval and is uploaded into protocol. John Clerx will need to providea cut off date in order to get it approved by the state.10. TBA and Legal Opinion from State-the committee discussed the TBA memo distributed todetermine whether we meet the requirements. TBA hours must be published in the collegecatalog and schedule. Also discussed was whether it is necessary to include a statementdescribing what specifically will be taught during those TBA hour. However, J.

E-65 revision to address extended airing dates and other revisions-The committeediscussed changes to E-65. One concern mentioned focused on airing time of courses. Theclock stops for airing courses in Winter and Summer causing delays in getting coursesapproved in a timely manner. John Clerx will bring the E-65 section that discusses airingof courses/programs to the next meeting.

Clerx said he would bring the document to the nextmeeting for review.8. Placement of Courses in Disciplines vs. Single Course Equivalency-K. Bimber distributedthe State Academic Senate statement from Ralph Black, Single Course Equivalency, andthe position paper Placement of Courses Within Disciplines. The committee discussed thefeasibility of assigning multiple disciplines to a course. Since the State Academic Senate

September 19, 2013Page 2clearly says that placement of courses within a discipline is an academic matter, thecommittee felt it could be worked out in such a way that ensures qualified faculty areteaching the courses. John Clerx spoke with Lucian Carter and both feel they may have asolution that will allow this to happen. If there are different minimum qualifications withina subject such as Music, the non-MA courses could be separated out by assigning a newsubject code. Protocol will treat the courses separately but the courses will still appear asMusic. John and Lucian felt this would work effectively with a block of courses ratherthan one or two course.New Business:9. External Exam Transcripting Policy-was reviewed and noticed as an for the February 20thDCC meeting. No additional changes were suggested.10. Posting and Approval: Courses, Certificates Degrees-B.

Student Information System-John Clerx is forming a task force to determine what usergroups would like to see in this new system. A web-based tool will be used to gatherinformation or concerns from faculty and other groups.12. Homework and Transferability- M. Reisch asked if the transferability of a course is injeopardy if no homework is required. It was decided that homework has nothing to dowith the transferability of a course and the CSU’s determine this anyway.13. Adjourn-the meeting was adjourned at 3:15 PM.
