| Revise an Existing Program or Delete a Program Track
|
Revising an existing program involves steps to ensure that all areas of the College affected by the revision understand the changes that will be made and are aware of their ramifications. There are varied reasons programs are revised - updating outdated offerings, meeting state-wide discipline committee decisions, and complying with business partnership recommendations.
The first step in the process of revising an existing program begins with the cluster. The cluster or a designated sub-committee will review needs assessments, College records and/or state requirements and outline program revisions it deems necessary. Once the full cluster approved the changes, a designated cluster member will begins the formal process of program revision and approval. This process is part of the Curriculum Review Process.
Program revision requires a Program Revision Packet be completed. Once this form and its' support documents (cluster minutes, business partnership minutes, course addition, revision and deletion packets)have gone through the Electronic Signature Procedure it will be submitted and added to the Palm Beach State Curriculum Committee agenda.
The Curriculum Committee examines the proposed revisions to the program to review how they impact on the Course Dictionary, Degree Audit and other programs and certificates. The Curriculum Committee makes a recommendation to the Vice-President of Academic Affairs (VPAA) who gives final approval for the curriculum action. Unless an exception is authorized by the VPAA, all program revisions will go into effect the following Fall after the approval of the VPAA.
In some cases, if the program revision involves deleting a program track from the College offerings, this action needs Deans' Council approval to be considered by the Curriculum Committee. In this case, the designated cluster member must also fill out a Program Deletion Packet and submit that to Deans' Council for approval prior to filling out the Program Revision Packet. Go to Deleting a Program or Program Track or contact Academic Services if you need clarification.
