APPROVED BY: PATRICK SCHMITT

SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CURRICULUM CHANGES AT WEST

VALLEY COLLEGE

CHANCELLOR’S RECOMMENDATION:

That the Board of Trustees approve the curriculum changes at West Valley College as

presented.

Funding Source/Fiscal Impact

The General Fund is the major funding source for the cost of instruction, which pertains

to the offering of approved courses. These costs are offset, to varying degrees, by

apportionment received for credit-based instruction and other associated fees.

Reference(s)

Curriculum development and approval is an ongoing activity overseen by the Academic

Senate, and its subordinate Curriculum Committee, and the Office of Instruction. It is

integrated into the West Valley College Program Review process. It is emphasized in

many sections of Standard II of the Accreditation Standards of the Accrediting

Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. Likewise, it is regulated through Title

5 and WVMCCD District Policies 4020 and 4025.

Background/Alternatives

As per District policy, the curriculum changes to programs and courses described herein

have been considered and approved by the Curriculum Committee, the Articulation

Officer, and the Academic Senate between October 23, 2017 and December 11, 2017. Each

of the curriculum changes and the foregoing approvals has been further reviewed by the

Chief Instructional Officer, the College President, and the District Chancellor. The Office

of Instruction further certifies that the programs and courses described herein satisfy all

applicable requirements of Title 5 and have also been submitted to the Associated

Students Organization of West Valley College.

Coordination

Offerings have been coordinated between West Valley College and Mission College

through a process of consultation.

Follow-up/Outcomes

Following Board approval of the curriculum changes, updates to catalogs and class

schedules will be made, and campus marketing communication will reflect the changes,

as appropriate.
