2017 ASCCC Curriculum Regional Meetings

3. Curriculum Streamlining: What is on the Horizon?
While having automated approval of nearly all credit courses is wonderful, it does not cover all of the types of curriculum that are included in a college catalog.
Work on expanding streamlining is already underway at 5C. The next additions that colleges can expect are:
Automated approval of cooperative work experience courses
Automated approval of nonsubstantial changes to existing credit (non- ADT) programs
Automated approval of noncredit courses

4. Challenges Facing Streamlining
Curriculum streamlining isn’t possible without some of the new functionality that was built into COCI
The idea of streamlining wasn’t finalized until more than half way through the development cycle for the new inventory.
Since the new inventory was deployed in July of 2017, there have been many challenges that have impacted the ability of colleges to submit curriculum to the Chancellor’s Office and for the Chancellor’s Office to approve it.
A fully functioning COCI will be the backbone of streamlining going forward.

5. Baccalaureate Degrees
10 colleges – 2nd year
Antelope Valley, Bakersfield, Feather River, Foothill, Rio Hondo, Santa Monica, Shasta, Skyline, San Diego Mesa, & West Los Angeles
5 colleges – Fall 2017 start
Cypress, Modesto, Mira Costa, Santa Ana, & Solano
Spring 2018 Graduations

6. UCTP Pilot Program
Representatives from the Academic Senate’s of the UC and the CCC have worked together to explore degrees that would guarantee admission to the UC system
The pilot program would be in Chemistry and Physics and would require students to complete
An associates degree aligned with the UC Transfer Pathway
Complete a modified IGETC pattern (IGETC for STEM with two additional courses removed)
Chancellor’s Office has developed templates, similar to ADTs, for these degrees
Templates have been reviewed and approved by 5C
Waiting on completed MOU
UC has created a transfer committee to look further at the issue.

7. Credit Certificates
5C has approved changes to Title 5 §55070 that were reviewed at Consultation Council on 11/16
Changes are:
Decrease the minimum possible units for a Certificate of Achievement from 12 to 8
Decrease the unit threshold when colleges must submit a certificate for approval from 18 to 16
We have not determined when colleges will be required to have submitted their certificates that are 16 – 17.5 units or whether there will be a special approval process for those programs.

Does decreasing math or science units to not exceed 60 units impact the students?

11. Credit Hour standards change in Title 5
Primary Changes:
Removed reference to lecture and lab, replaced with “total student work” and “outside-of-class hours.”
New requirement for local policy.
Now REQUIRED by new title 5 regulations - § (f)
District policy shall specify:
the credit hour calculation method for all academic activities (lecture, activity, lab, clinical, discussion, studio, work experience, etc.)
expected ratios of in-class to outside-of class hours for each type of academic activity
standards for incremental award of credit
standard term length (number used to determine divisor in calculation)
calculation methods for short term and extended term courses
provisions for monitoring compliance with state and federal regulations related to credit hour calculations
Local policy is an academic and professional matter and should fall under your 10+1 process.

12. CSU executive orders and AB 705
CSU Executive Order 1110 eliminated the use of assessment tests and the placement of students into noncredit courses at CSU
This could impact CCCs (in light of AB 705), but it is too soon to tell
CSU still has admission requirements, while CCCs do not.
Many curriculum changes could come as a result of 705, but guidance and regulations are not in place yet related to accelerated pathways or corequisite models
Colleges are encouraged to wait before making sweeping changes

13. Noncredit courses and Community Service classes
5C has formed a workgroup to develop guidance for the following
Offering credit and noncredit courses together
Using noncredit courses as prerequisites for credit courses
Noncredit courses as corequisites to credit courses (related to AB 705)
When the course repetition regulations were changed, one option that was mentioned was allowing community services students to be in the same class as credit students
5C has requested a definitive legal opinion to determine if this is allowable
If it is permissible, 5C plans to finalize and distribute guidelines by the 2018 Curriculum Institute

Local Curriculum Committee Approval
District Governing Board Approval
College Submits Curriculum Proposal to CCCCO
CCCCO Proposal Review & Approval
Notice how processes illustrated above occur in a perfectly neat and linear fashion…
*Approval timeframes are not in the PCAH 6th edition since we separated out the COCI submission guidelines and technical assistance portions of the PCAH, which will be provided at a future date.  However, there is nothing to suggest that there will be a change to the timeframe (PCAH 5 Ed, p. 15) for proposals that are NOT on the automated process (i.e., colleges will still need to build in this buffer).
Follow your local curriculum approval process, first.
Local Curriculum Committee
District Governing Board
Once approved locally, a designated college staff with access to the online CCC Curriculum Inventory can proceed with:
Submitting the proposal record to the Chancellor’s Office for review.
The average Chancellor’s Office approval timeframe is 60 days
Curriculum proposals are reviewed in the order in which they are submitted into the queue
Proposals submitted with discrepancies will be returned as a “Revision Request”
Revision Requests will cause delays in the curriculum proposal approval timeframe.
Timeframe determined per local policy
Timeframe determined per local policy
Submit proposal into COCI
Occurs within 60 days of submittal to CCCCO; timeframe subject to total number of proposals received*
*Note: Curriculum proposals are reviewed in the order in which they are submitted into the COCI queue, to include revision requests

AB 705 UPDATE: Shifts Control
No community college district or college may use any assessment instrument for the purposes of this article without the authorization of the board of governors. The board of governors may adopt a list of authorized assessment instruments pursuant to the policies and procedures developed pursuant to this section and the intent of this article. The board of governors may waive this requirement as to any assessment instrument pending evaluation.
If the Board of Governors creates a list of approved assessment measures, colleges will only be able to use those tools

24. 2017 ASCCC Curriculum Regionals
Requirements
AB 705 (signed October 13, 2017) requires colleges to use one or more of the following when placing students into courses in math and English:
High School Coursework
High School GPA
High School Grades
If colleges are not able to obtain official transcript data, they can use self reported data or guided placement

25. Transfer Level in One Year
2017 ASCCC Curriculum Regionals
Transfer Level in One Year
AB 705 includes other details that could directly impact college curriculum
A community college district or college shall maximize the probability that a student will enter and complete transfer-level coursework in English and mathematics within a one-year timeframe
Currently a year would include summer session, but guidelines or regulations could redefine a year
Colleges might consider modifications to existing basic skills sequences to shorten the time to transfer level. Colleges are encouraged to wait until more information is available.
