Mention SACC
Lay the foundation by reminding them of the differences between title 5, Ed Code & advisories. I can add 1-2 of those slides, which I think would be useful.

2. Legal Levels Ed Code Title 5 (Regulations) Guidelines Advisories
Derived by BoG from Ed Code; Division 6---CCs
Is regulation w/ the force of law

Greg
Note I added the last bullet-----mention our many resolutions; the implementation committee; all the times we’ve written articles & given presentations-- to inform/help colleges
John could add more the Basic Skills Initiative---as a collaborative w/ administrators and ASCCC and how we got there, what it is doing, etc.

Michelle – explain that some of the areas must be opened up due to recent legislation – and others are just in dire need of clean-up. A, for example, needs changes due to legislation. D, for example, has long been a source of controversy. The challenges of interpreting legalese..

Stephanie & Michelle
Apportionment: noncredit course in ; referral by counselor or instructor; up to 96 noncredit hours (2 semester units or 3 quarter units); positive attendance records
This change allows for online tutoring by requiring that student tutoring occur through a designated learning center, rather than in such a center.

Michelle & Stephanie

13. On down the road. . . Program & Course Approval Handbook
More about Noncredit
Associate degrees
Stephanie can explain status of Handbook------why, what, how, when etc.
Then will John step in on noncredit. On noncredit---I figure there will be more T-5 changes after decisions are made by various groups. . .
And the Associate degree task force is still working, so once they finish, that topic will also be dealt with
