** If
you are creating a new certificate/program that is LESS THAN 20 CREDITS, use the above form
#1 for revision and put
NEW CERTIFICATE under the section for type of change.
¨ Obtain
the existing Course Outlines and Scope and Sequence documents from your
division.
¨
Talk
with appropriate faculty in your department/division for suggestions or
ideas you may have missed.
¨ Seek
Divisional Approval by talking to your Dean. The actual process for
Divisional Approval depends on your Dean and Division. Ask your Dean to
present this to Instructional Council. (Deans
use their own discretion here, whether that includes a full divisional
vote, an e-vote, or a vote from only the relevant faculty). (This must
be accomplished prior to CAS presentation).
¨ Determine
the impact of this new program on other divisions and programs/courses. (See the “Questions to Ask Yourself”
link on the CAS website!)
¨ If
this is a Professional/Technical Program, you will also need to get TAC
approval. (This
must be accomplished prior to CAS presentation). Be sure to follow
the Professional/Technical checklist (available on the CAS website).
See the “Questions to Ask Yourself”
guidelines on the CAS website!
Be
sure to work with Mary Ellen O'Keeffe, Dean of Workforce Education!
¨
Check
the ‘Schedule of Critical Dates’ on
the CAS website so that you are timely in your planning and presentation
to CAS. No last minute, rushed through programs, without proper
signatures and preparation, will be accepted for CAS presentation.
¨ Seek
out comments from the Advising, Credentials, Library and Technology
groups on campus. These individuals will be able to point out potential
issues with your course such as: appropriate fees, transferability,
prerequisites, library/technology support etc... (Signatures
from these groups on the appropriate forms are mandatory prior to
CAS presentation).
¨ Make
any revisions suggested by the above groups.
¨ Send
completed forms electronically to the CAS chair for review. (These will be forwarded to CAS members as well for
review. Be aware that all paperwork should be edited and proofed for
typos and other mistakes; professionalism is key! CAS members are not
editors!)
This must be done at least 2 weeks prior to the presentation date you
are hoping for. Note: when your paperwork is complete, and signed
by all necessary stakeholders, including
DEANS, a CAS presentation date can then be set. The CAS chair
must have in their possession, all signed, completed paperwork
prior to a date being set. (Also provide a detailed/specific written description
of what you are changing, i.e. if you are changing from 3 credits to 5,
say just that, we need to know the old and the new).
¨
Prepare
for your CAS presentation: be ready to explain “the questions to ask
yourself”, mentioned above. Be sure all suggested revisions are
complete and final paperwork, SIGNED, is in the CAS chair’s
possession, (as well as e-versions of your paperwork). (You
may receive questions or comments from CAS members, through the chair,
prior to the presentation date or during the presentation. The documents
you sent previously will be projected onto a screen as you present. You
will provide a brief introduction to the program and why you have
developed it. CAS will then vote on whether or not to approve the
program).
¨ When
the program is approved, the CAS chair will sign and date the documents
and send them on to the Vice President of Instruction. With the VP of
Instruction’s signature, 5 copies of the original signed documents
will be made and distributed to the appropriate places. (District,
Office of Instruction, Credentials, Advising, Division).
¨ If
you have not received your copies of signed documents back at your
division within 2 weeks of CAS approval, please contact the CAS chair. (Be sure you check with your division personnel who
are responsible for keeping these documents first! When your course has
been approved by the District Office and the State Board, they will
email the Chair and your course will be put on the CAS website as
approved!)

checklist for the process you are pursuing, click on the appropriate
link above.
Please remember
that
all signatures from the appropriate stakeholders must
be obtained prior to CAS presentation.
(Remember, it is the
instructor’s job to obtain the signatures for the course paperwork,
not the secretary’s. The instructor needs to hear the feedback from
the stakeholders and make any changes suggested).
If you need help
with any of the steps, please contact the CAS chair or the CAS
representative from your division.
