The curriculum will be based on the needs of the College district and will comply with national, state, and local accrediting requirements.

Proposals for new courses or changes should be submitted on a completed Curriculum Proposal form to the Chair of the Instructional Council.
The Instructional Council will meet to review the current curriculum and make recommendations for additions, deletions, or revisions in the College curriculum. Recommendations are then forwarded as designated on the form.
The appropriate instructional administrator will take the necessary action for placing approved curriculum into effect. This includes placing written information in the appropriate publications.
