General Information
Process for Approval of new Career Technical Education Programs/Courses
- Departmental Intentions -- The first step is the department to consider what topic(s) can be added to their menu. These topics should be based on preliminary research and/or try to address current events that generate enough focus in their respective fields. Course(s) should be introduced according to departmental procedures and be determined whether it warrants further development efforts.
- Career Technical Education Committee Review -- Presentation/discussion/approval will be needed. This stage encourages communication/information-exchange/review of new vocational courses/programs and allows for resources to be identified that can help increase the likelihood of success.
- Assignment of Faculty -- Faculty member(s) are then assigned to develop the cour(s)/program(s).
- Submission to the Curriculum Committee -- A new course/program will need to go to the curriculum committee for further review and approval.
- Submission to the Academic Senate -- The next stage is for the Academic Senate to review/approve the new course/program.
- Submission to the Board of Trustees -- Final approval needs to be obtained from the Board of Trustees.
- Submission to LOWDL -- Applicable new course(s) will need to be presented the Los Angeles/Orange County Workforce Development Leaders to ensure non-duplication, etc.
- Submission to the Chancellor's Office -- Finally, the new course/program will need to be submitted to the Chancellor's Office to complete the process.
