The Death of Repeatability: Impact & Enrollment Trends Presented by: John Stanskas – ASCCC Curriculum Chair, South Representative Aundrea Pinto – ASCCC Curriculum Committee Kim Harrell – ASCCC Curriculum Committee, Area A Representative

Credit Course Repetition Limits Repeatable Courses (§§ 55040(b)(1), 55041) Beginning January 2013, district policy may designate only three types of courses as repeatable: courses for which repetition is necessary to meet the major requirement of California State University (CSU) or University of California (UC) for completion of a bachelor’s degree, intercollegiate athletics, and intercollegiate academic or vocational competition. http://www.ccccurriculum.net/wp- content/uploads/2013/07/CreditCourseRepetitionGuidelinesFinal070513.pdf

Of course, this likely partially reflects a shift in top coding pe courses to kinesiology, something we can be sure the LAO is watching.

Bringing it Home How has enrollment at your campus been impacted? What about your centers?

Bringing it Home What is the student experience?

Bringing it Home How have your curricular offerings changed? How have faculty teaching assignments changed? Are any programs in jeopardy of discontinuation?

Creative Innovations How are you helping affected disciplines re-imagine their courses? What scheduling solutions seem to be working for your colleges?

Take Aways Based on these discussions: What strategies can you take away that can help bolster programs that have been adversely affected? What can you recommend to faculty in affected departments?

Thank you! Repeatability 1964 - 2013
