Educational Affairs Committee

September 13, 2006, 3:00 p.m.

Building 027, Room 001

Members Present: Charles Carroll, Abe Pallas, Bob Yorke, Brian Dopson, Chesley

Robertson, Dwight Kamback, Fran Rossi, Gayle Hunter, Janis Brothers, Jim

Morris, John Piersol (by proxy), Keith Rupert, Lelia Austin, Logan Cross, Margaret

Francis, Mike Davis, Pam Carswell, Robbie Carson, Robin Roberts, Tracy

Hickman, Linda Croley, and Mary Simmons

Others Present: Vince Rice, Kim Cannon, Lewis Cox, Ann Lear, and Yosefua Norris

Absent: Ian Rodriquez, Brandon Hill and Lei-San Tillman

Approval of Minutes: Upon motion by Chesley Robertson, which was seconded by

Robin Roberts, the minutes of the July 19, 2006 meeting were unanimously approved as

presented.

New Business:

Advanced Computer Applications (CGS 2571): This proposal was to change the name

of the course, CGS 2571, to match the statewide course name: Microcomputer Software

Packages II. Upon motion by Brian Dopson, which was seconded by Keith Rupert,

the proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Course Deletions: Dwight Kamback made a motion to accept the proposal and Fran

Rossi seconded the motion. Keith Rupert presented the proposal to delete computer

science courses that have not been taught at the college for five years or longer from the

college inventories and the Statewide Course Numbering System. The proposal was

unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Topics in Physical Therapy I (PHT 1007) [New]: Abe Pallas explained that

Introduction to Physical Therapy (PHT 1004) was changed from a two-credit to a three-

credit course. Students who took Introduction to Physical Therapy as a two-credit course

now need one credit to complete the contact hours and graduate with an AS in Physical

Therapist Assistant. Rather than have students take the three-credit course where they

have already mastered most of the material, a one-credit course was developed with 20

contact hours. The course is designed to engage the student in an active interest in the

profession of physical therapy. Upon motion by Abe Pallas, which was seconded by

Robbie Carson, the proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Child Care Professional Certificate (Program) [Change]; Introduction to Early

Childhood Education (EEC 1000) [New]: Tracy Hickman suggested that these items

be considered at one time. She explained that currently the Child Development Associate

Equivalency (CDAE) course WFCX 0015 is offered as a noncredit community education

course. The Department of Children and Families is removing the program and course

from Workforce and Economic Development and changing the name of the program and

course to Child Care Professional Certificate (CCPC). Robin Roberts make a motion to

accept the proposals and Jim Morris seconded the motion. A new course, EEC 1000, is

necessary to provide an additional three credit course to meet the CCPC content

requirements. Students will be required to have a satisfactory TABE score as an entrance

requirement. If students want to continue into the AS Early Childhood Education

Program other entry level testing will be required. The members discussed whether this

is a new program or a change to a current program; also what would be considered

satisfactory TABE grade level scores. Since the state does not require an entrance test for

the program, query was made as to how the TABE requirement would be enforced. The

presenter could not provide defensible answers; therefore, the proposals were tabled

until the next regular meeting.

Applied Welding Technology (Program) [Change]; Welding I (PMT0123) [Change];

Welding II (PMT 0146) [Change]; Welding III (PTM 0131) [Change]; Welding IV

(PMT 0165) [Change]; Welding V (PMT 0168) [New]: Tracy Hickman suggested that

these items be considered together. Ann Lear explained that currently the Applied

Welding Technology Program curriculum does not follow state guidelines. The

proposals are to realign the program curriculum and hours to meet the Department of

Education statewide curriculum frameworks and OCP guidelines. With the changes and

addition of one new course, Welding V (PMT 0168), the program will meet DOE

guidelines already in the place in the statewide directory. Upon completion of each OCP

beginning with Welding 1 the student will receive an OCP Certificate. Keith Rupert

made a motion to accept the proposals and Jim Morris seconded the motion. An

increase in lab fees is requested as students will be working with stainless steel.

Discussion ensued regarding the total number of hours to be awarded to complete the

program and the amount of vocational credit to be awarded as the indicated credit is in

fractional hours. There was also uncertainty as to the layout of the program and courses

in the College Catalog. The presenter could not provide clear answers; therefore, the

proposals were tabled.

Office Management Certificates (Program) [New]; Legal Transcription I (OST

1622) [New]; Legal Office Procedures (OST 2431) [New]: Tracy Hickman suggested

that these items be considered together. Ann Lear explained that a survey was conducted

in different fields (i.e. lawyer, state and local government, schools, etc.), for office staff

and accounting needs within the five county area. The survey found that employers have

various job skills they desire in their office staff, plus a set of core skills. In looking at

the Office Management Certificate Program, it appeared that this would be the

appropriate area to incorporate specialization certificates. All three specialization

certificates can lead into an AS degree. The Legal Office Specialization Certificate

requires the addition of two new courses all other courses are currently being offered at

the college. Chesley Robertson made a motion to accept the proposals and Tracy

Hickman seconded the motion. Discussion followed regarding the core requirements

and how the students would be tracked. Should a single certificate be awarded or a

separate certificate for each specialization, and what would prevent a student from taking

courses from each specialization and receiving a certificate. It was noted that if a

certificate is awarded for each specialization a program CIP will be required for each

track. It was pointed out that Office Management Certificates is not a new program but

an existing college program. These items were tabled until clarification can be made.

Introduction to Human Medical Science (HSC 2531) [Change]: Abe Pallas explained

that currently an anatomy and physiology course is required as a pre-requisite to HSC

2531, the proposal is to remove all pre-requisite requirements as this will bring the course

in alignment with the information posted on the Statewide Course Numbering System as

well as with other community colleges in the state. It was noted that the course also has a

co-requisite requirement. Abe Pallas stated that co-requisites should be removed as well.

Upon motion by Abe Pallas, which was seconded by Robbie Carson, the proposal

was unanimously approved as amended by roll call vote.

Next meeting: The next meeting is September 27, 2006; the agenda deadline is

September 19.

Adjourn: The meeting was adjourned at 4:20 p.m.

Approval of Minutes: Upon motion by Chesley Robertson, which was seconded by Abe

Pallas, the minutes of the September 13, 2006 meeting were unanimously approved as

presented.

Old Business:

Gayle Hunter reported that she checked with Sandra Johnston regarding TABE

requirements for a clock program and Sandra indicated that when Ron Natale was dean,

he had stated that if a clock program is less than 450 hours the TABE was not required.

New Business:

Continuing Workforce Education Courses (Change): Abe Pallas make a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Abe Pallas explained that

this is a request to incorporate a grading scale of S/U for the continuing education courses

taught in allied health programs. The registrar’s office only has record of a student

registering for a course, not whether the student successfully completes the course.

Currently, students receive a certificate or card indicating they have completed a course,

but they are not in SIS as completing. The allied health instructors would feel more

comfortable having an S/U grade rather than an unassigned grade. The proposal was


Dart Firing Stun Gun (CJK 0421) [New]: Chesley Robertson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Doug Brown explained

that this is a new six contact hours course mandated by the Department of Law

Enforcement. The student will be introduced to both the stun gun as well as the dart-

firing stun gun and will be provided fundamental knowledge on the use of this

equipment. Charles Carroll stated that in reviewing the instructional manual, he did not

see any ethical topics addressing sudden death or the use of the stun gun on children. He

asked that these two topics be included for discussion in LCCC’s course. This new

course will add an additional six contact hours to the basic law enforcement program. A

$62 lab fee is requested for ammunition. The proposal was unanimously approved as

amended by roll call vote.

Creative Writing (CRW 2001) [Change]; British Literature (ENL 2012) [Change];

British Literature 2 (ENL 2022) [Change]: Brian Dopson suggested that these items

be discussed at one time. Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposals and Abe

Pallas seconded the motion. Brian Dopson explained that this is a change to the course

numbers as mandated by the Statewide Course Numbering System. There is no change

in content of the any of the courses. The proposals were unanimously approved by

roll call vote.

Adobe Acrobat (CGS XXXX) [New]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the

proposal and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. Susan Thrall explained that she has

had several requests for this new course, which will cover the basics of Adobe Acrobat.

The course is being proposed to attract new students to the college and possibly revitalize

our computer programs. The course will not be a requirement for any computer program,

but might serve as an elective. Charles Carroll pointed out that the course will need to be

submitted to the state for a course number. A $15 lab fee is requested. The proposal

was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

E-Commerce Systems Administration (CGS 1177) [New]: Brian Dopson made a

motion to approve the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Keith Rupert

explained that this is a new three credit course that is part of the Web Specialist

Certificate. Students in other programs will be allowed to use the course as an elective.

A $15 lab fee is requested. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Other: None

Next meeting: October 11, 2006; agenda deadline October 3, 2006.

Hickman explained that the Applied Welding Technology program and coursework were

being changed to meet the Curriculum Framework and Occupational Completion Points

(OCP) guidelines in the state directory system. One new course is being added to the

program, which will introduce students to pipe welding. The TABE will be used as an

entrance requirement. Students will be required to take Welding I, then they can take the

other welding courses out of sequence. Increases in lab fees for all courses are requested

to cover the increased cost of materials. The proposals were unanimously approved

by roll call vote.

Office Management Certificate (Program) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion

to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman presented

the proposal to change the Office Management Certificate program to include

specialization certificates. Two additional tracks, Legal Office Certificate and Office

Software Applications Certificate, will be placed under the Office Management

Certificate program. Discussion followed regarding procedures for the Registrar’s Office

to use when students enrolled in the new tracks apply for graduation. Mike Davis

explained that the specialization certificates should use the same CIP code as Office

Management Certificate, but the new certificates should have different program

pneumonic codes. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Legal Transcription I (OST 1622) [New]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept

the proposal and Robbie Carson seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman explained that

Ann Lear


Pallas, the minutes of the October 11, 2006 meeting were unanimously approved as

presented.

Old Business:

Child Care Professional Certificate (Program) [Change]: Jim Morris made a motion

to accept the proposal and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. Kim Stearns explained

that effective January 2007, the Department of Children and Families is removing the

CDAE program from under Workforce and Economic Development, and changing the

name of the program to Child Care Professional Certificate (CCPC). An additional three

credit course will need to be added to the program to meet the CCPC content

requirements. Students will be able to obtain their certificate in four months, and will

have the opportunity to make an easy transition into the AS Early Childhood Program.

The proposal was unanimously approved as presented.

Introduction to Early Childhood Education (EEC 1000) [New]: Chesley Robertson

made a motion to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Kim Stearns

presented this proposal to add a new three-credit course to the revised CCPC program.

She explained that currently students are awarded six credits towards an AS degree in

Early Childhood Education, but state mandate requires community colleges to articulate

the CCPC into nine college credits. The addition of this new course will meet the state

requirements for the CCPC program. The new course will focus on the six areas of

competency related to the CCPC program and will culminate in an official observation at

the end. A $40 lab fee is requested to cover the cost of an observer who will observe and

advise the students during their internship course. This course will be limited to students

entering the CCPC program and students must have the advisor’s signature in order to

register for the course. The proposal was unanimously approved as presented.

New Business:

Brian Dopson suggested that the following items be presented together: Humanities:

Prehistory to Renaissance (HUM 2210) [New]; Humanities: Renaissance to Modern

Times: (HUM 2230) [New]; Mythology in the Arts (HUM 2310) [New]: Abe Pallas

made a motion to accept the proposals and Jim Morris seconded the motion. Fred Smith

presented these proposals to expand the humanities program by adding three new

humanities courses to the College inventory. HUM 2210 and HUM 2230 are designed to

provide students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge through a study of art,

music, literature, religion and philosophy, as they learn what others valued and believed.

HUM 2310 will focus on the connection between mythology and visual arts, architecture,

music and literature. The addition of these courses will prepare students for additional

coursework beyond the Associates level. The proposals were unanimously approved

as presented.

Associate in Arts Degree (Program) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept

the proposal and Jim Morris seconded the motion. Brian Dopson explained that

currently, in order to fulfill the humanities general education requirement within the

art/music tier, students choose between a survey course in Art and Music, historical

courses that focus on a single discipline or appreciation courses that focus on a single

discipline. The addition of three new humanities courses provide students with additional

options for satisfying the three hour AA humanities requirement in group 1. It was noted

that departments that require a humanities course for their programs should review their

program degree audit sheets and make amendments as necessary. The proposal was

unanimously approved as presented.

Basic Law Enforcement (Program) [Change]: Chesley Robertson presented this

proposal explaining that Florida Department of Law Enforcement has mandated that all

training centers add six hours of Dart Firing Stun Gun (CJK 0421) training to their

curriculum. The addition of this course increased the programs clock hours from 760

hours to 766 hours. Keith Rupert made a motion to accept the proposal and Fran Rossi

seconded the motion. Gayle Hunter requested that the department provide the registrar’s

office with a degree audit sheet for credit hours in addition to clock hours. The proposal

was unanimously approved as presented.

LPN-RN Transition: Adult Health (NUR 1204C) [Change]: Chesley Robertson

made a motion to accept the proposal and John Piersol seconded the motion. Robbie

Carson presented this proposal and explained that the student test skill kit has decreased

in price and the lab fee should be reduced to correctly charge the student the actual cost

of the skill kit: effective January 2007. It was not readily known if there was enough

time to implement the reduced fee for spring term 2007. The proposal was unanimously

approved subject to Mary Simmons checking with VP Carroll to determine if the new fee

could be implemented in spring term 2007. In checking with VP Carroll, he confirmed

that all student fees have to be approved by the Board of Trustees before they can be

implemented. Since the January Board meeting is after add/drop and after spring classes

begin, the proposal was amended to become effective summer term 2007.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Technology OCP A & B (Program) [New]: Abe Pallas

made a motion to accept the proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Ann

Lear presented this proposal to offer a new program in aircraft sheet metal fabrication.

She explained that TIMCO has an increasing need for trained sheet metal workers and

asked the College to set up the program. Once students complete the program, they can

become gainfully employed by TIMCO. The proposal was unanimously approved.

Sheet Metal Helper (PMT 0030) [New]; Sheet Metal Fabricator (PMT 0032) [New]:

Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Robin Roberts seconded the

motion. Ann Lear explained that these two new courses are needed for the Sheet Metal

Fabrication Technology program. The proposals were unanimously approved.

Other:

AA Elective Credit—information only: Gayle Hunter explained that the list of

transferable AA electives is used by advisors, students and the register’s office to ensure

that students are taking courses that will apply to the course requirements for their

declared program/major. The list was last revised in December, 2002. She asked that the

appropriate deans review the list and decide if there are other courses that should be

added to the list, or if there are courses on the list that should be deleted. Currently, the

list does not come before EAC on a regular basis, but EAC confirmation of the list on an

annual basis will ensure that the list is current. Once the deans provide Gayle with

suggested changes, the list will be brought back to EAC for approval.

Revised EAC Action Form—information only: In Mike Davis’ absence, Logan Cross

reviewed a modified EAC Action Form that included information that is required by

admissions, registration, and state reporting when new programs are set up. It was noted

that the form is an Excel document and should be converted to a Word document. Logan

asked members to review the form and provide feedback to Mike Davis. At some point

the form will be presented as an action item.

Student Learning Outcomes—information only: Logan Cross explained that each

new course brought before EAC for approval should include information regarding

student learning outcomes and also the credentials for instructors who will be teaching

the course(s). Logan asked the members to give serious thought to student learning

outcomes and discussion will continue at a future EAC meeting.

Next meeting: January 24, 2007; agenda deadline January 16

John Piersol, the minutes of the December 6, 2006 meeting were unanimously approved

as presented.

Old Business: None

New Business:

Intro to Financial Accounting (ACG 2021) [Change]: Tracy Hickman stated that the

proposal is to expand ACG 2021 from 3 credits to 4 credit hours. Mike Cummings

explained that expanding the hours will allow bookkeeping and financial reporting to be

covered in one course. The change will allow the managerial course to be expanded to

included subjects that are needed for the case study approach in the third and fourth year

of studies. John Piersol made a motion to accept the proposal and Robbie Carson

seconded the motion. Discussion followed as to whether the course would have a lab as a

―C‖ in the course prefix indicates a lab component will be included in the course. Mike

Cummings stated that the course would not have a lab. He further explained that current

students do not get the full accounting course and when they reach the university they are

behind. By expanding the course the complete accounting cycle will be studied and will

better accommodate our students who transfer to four year colleges and universities.

Query was made as to whether there were any prerequisites requirements as none were

noted on the Course Inventory Input Sheet. Tracy Hickman stated that students will still

be required to meet the prerequisite requirements. VP Carroll asked Mike Cummings to

correct the Course Inventory Input Form, include the prerequisite requirements stated in

our current catalog, and send the corrected form to the Registrar. A corrected EAC

Action Form, Course Inventory Input Sheet, and revised syllabus should be sent to the

VP’s office. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote. John Piersol

amended his original motion by asking that the “C” in the course prefix be removed

and Robbie Carson concurred.

AA Degree—Business General (Program) (Change): Chesley Robertson made a

motion to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman

explained that the program requires students to take ACG 2021 and 2 credits required

elective. Due to the increased credit hours in ACG 2021, it is proposed to reduce one

credit hour approved elective from the program in order to maintain the program at the

required 60 hours. VP Carroll pointed out that the one hour science elective must remain

as it is required as part of the science coursework. Academic advisors should be made

aware that students will need to meet two hours of required electives for the major with

one of the hours being a science elective. The proposal was unanimously approved by

roll call vote.

Business Administration AS Degree (Program) [Change] & Business Administration

AAS Degree (Change): John Piersol made a motion to accept the proposals and Bob

Yorke seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman explained that due to increasing ACG 2021

to four credits, it is proposed to delete one credit hour approved elective from each

program in order to maintain the programs’ required 64 hours. The proposals were


Business Management (Program) [Change]: Mike Davis made a motion to accept the

proposal and Brian Dopson seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman explained that

currently students may choose between ACG 2021 and APA 2111 (Accounting 1), it is

proposed to remove ACG 2021 as a core option. This will maintain the program at the

required 24 credit hours. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Accounting Certificate (Program) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the

proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman explained that

the proposal is to delete OST 1931 (Payroll) as a required core course in order to keep the

program at the required 28 hours. She noted that students will pick up the payroll portion

of the program in Intro to QuickBooks (APA 2144). The proposal was unanimously

approved by roll call vote.

LPN-RN Transition: Maternal/Infant/Child/Adolescent (NURC 2412) [Change]:

Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the

motion. Robbie Carson explained that students who took NURC 2412 found the course

contained too much new material for students to cover in one semester. The proposal is

to increase the course from four credits to eight credit hours. The four additional credits

will allow students more time in the classroom and more clinical experience. The

additional credit will come from a reduction in the credit awarded for experiential

learning. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

LPN-RN Fast Track Bridge (Program) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept

the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion: Abe Pallas explained that

students who have completed a Florida approved PN program within five years of

acceptance into the LPN –RN are awarded 14 hours of experiential learning. The

proposal is to reduce the total number of experiential learning credits awarded from 14 to

10 credits. Students who do not meet this condition, but who take and pass the upward

mobility test for nursing foundations at the national average or higher, will continue to be

awarded six credits for experiential learning. Students who do not pass the exam must

begin over. VP Carroll asked Robbie Carson to send a course syllabus, degree audit

sheet, and Course Inventory Input Form to the Vice President’s Office and the

Registrar. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Basic Security Officer Certification Training (Program) [New]: Basic Security

Officer Certification Training (CJT 0800) [New]: Doug Brown explained that this is

a new PAV Certificate program and course for security officers that will meet the need

for licensed certified security officers. CJT 0800 is a 40 contact hour training course,

which will provide the basic security training required by the state of Florida before an

applicant may receive a license as an unarmed security officer. Chesley Robertson

made a motion to accept the proposals and Mike Davis seconded the motion. A $28 lab

fee is requested. The proposals were unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Criminal Justice Technology (Program) [Change]: Doug Brown explained that

currently, the program is set up for full-time students and those with non-sworn

experience, or someone seeking a career in criminal justice. The program does not allow

sworn law enforcement personnel to apply their career training toward college credit. It

is proposed that the name of the Criminal Justice Technology AS degree tack be changed

from Law Enforcement Track to General Criminal Justice Track in order to allow sworn

law enforcement officer to articulate credit for law enforcement training. Chesley

Robertson made a motion to accept the proposal and Robbie Carson seconded the

motion. Vice President Carroll inquired about the track program CIP. Doug Brown

indicated that the any criminal justice technology program is under the current CIP. Vice

President Carroll removed the proposal from consideration and also tabled items 11-15.

He asked Doug Brown to verify the program CIP with Mike Davis, and the items will be

reconsidered at the next regular meeting.

Investigating Offenses (CJK 0075) [Change]: The Florida Department of Law

Enforcement mandated Human Trafficking, a four contact unit, be added to the CJK 0075

curriculum The addition of this unit increased the contact hours from 40 to 44 hours.

Chesley Robertson made a motion to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the

motion. It was noted that the course is currently in the system and the change is to add

hours to the existing course. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call

vote.

Basic Law Enforcement (Program) [Change]: Chesley Robertson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Chesley Robertson

explained that the addition of four contact hours in Human Trafficking increased the

program hours from 766 hours to 770 hours. The proposal was unanimously approved

by roll call vote.

Other:

Robbie Carson stated that it is difficult to find Allied Health programs’ degree audit

sheets on the College web site. After searching, she found them under LCCC

Occupational Programs. She suggested that the degree audit sheets be placed on the web

site where they can be readily accessed. Mike Davis recommended that modified degree

audit sheets be sent to the Technology Helpdesk for inclusion on the College web site.

proposal to delete Vocational Adjustments I, a one-half credit course, from the practical

nursing program and from the college course inventory. Chesley Robertson made a

motion to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. The motion was

unanimously approved.

Basic Nursing (PRN 0001) [Change]: Robbie Carson presented this proposal to add a

one-half vocational credit to Basic Nursing to include ethical-legal issues, and allow

students more time to understand theory. This change will increase the vocational credit

hours to 9.5. Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal and Robin Roberts

seconded the motion. Gayle Hunter inquired about the course being a combination class

and wondered if the course should be designated with a ―C‖ in the course prefix or

number. Also, the amount of credit was not included on the course inventory input form.

VP Carroll explained that DOE has an Oversight Committee who reviews course content

and statewide course numbering. VP Carroll tabled the proposal until Robbie Carson can

obtain course information and find out the total number of clock hours required.

Medical/Surgical Nursing II (PRN 0382) [Change]; Vocational Adjustment II (PRN

0011) [Change]: These two proposals had items missing from the agenda packet. VP

Carroll tabled the proposals until all required documents can be presented at one

time.

Paramedic 2 Clinical (EMSL 2436) [Change]: Abe Pallas presented the proposal to

reduce the credit hours in EMSL 2436 from 10 to 8 credit hours. Currently, the program

has 44 credit hours, which includes BSC 2084 as a prerequisite. The program is two

hours over the required 42 hours, and EMSL 2435 seemed the most appropriate area to

decrease the credits. This change will bring the program in compliance with Florida

DOE Curriculum Frameworks. Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal and

Keith Rupert seconded the motion. VP Carroll pointed out that Anatomy and

Physiology 1 and 2 could also be used as prerequisites to the course. There was

uncertainty as to whether the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) required the

course to maintain ten credit hours. VP Carroll tabled the proposal to allow Abe

Pallas time to review the number of credits required by SCNS.

Paramedic (Program) [Change]: Tabled until the next regular scheduled meeting.

Gayle Hunter requested that the Registrar’s Office be provided a program degree audit

sheet.

Occupational Programs (Program) [Change]: Anne Lear presented this proposal

explaining that in order to have some consistency in calculating occupational credits in

the Occupational Programs she had worked with Mike Davis and Kim Cannon to come

up with a formula for calculating credit. It is proposed to use the formula for calculating

occupational credits in all Occupational Programs. Chesley Robertson made a motion

to accept the proposal and Jim Morris seconded the motion. It was noted that in CMS

Basic Law Enforcement Certificate program, Communication (CJK 0015) had never been

presented to EAC to have the clock hours increase from 75 to 77 hours. Discussion

followed regarding the formula used for calculating credit, as the formula changed some

of the credits to fractions. Abe Pallas wondered if the committee wanted to have college

credits listed as fractions in the college catalog. It was noted that other community

colleges use fractions. The motion to accept the proposal was modified to remove CJK

0015 from the group of programs to be approved. The proposal was approved as

amended by roll call vote with Abe Pallas and Robbie Carson abstaining.

Police Operations (CJE 1500) [New]: Doug Brown explained that this course was

inadvertently deleted from the college course inventory, and requested to have the course

reinstated as it is an elective course in the Criminal Justice Technology program. Keith

Rupert made a motion to accept the proposal and Bob Yorke seconded the motion.

Steve Anderson explained that the course is not offered as one of the regular courses in

Criminal Justice, but as a bridge course. With the restructure of the Criminal Justice

program, this course will be a regular part of the AS Law Enforcement Track. VP

Carroll stressed that it is very important to review courses before they are presented

to EAC for deletion. The proposal was unanimously approved.

Office Administration Program [Change]: Anne Lear presented this proposal

explaining that Intro to Accounting (ACG 2021) is a required course in the Office

Administration program. When ACG 2021 was increased from three credits to four credit

hours, it increased the program credit hours to 64. It is proposed to delete Accounting 1

(APA 2111), a three credit hour course, as a core option and reduce the approved elective

by one credit hour in order to maintain the program at the required 63 credit hours.

Robbie Carson made a motion to accept the proposal and Keith Rupert seconded the

motion. Gayle Hunter inquired about students who may have taken ACG 2021 at another

college and transfers in three credits; VP Carroll indicated that these students should go

through the appropriate dean for approval to accept the three credit course. The

proposal was unanimously approved.

Other:

VP Carroll asked that approved course changes be made in the advising sheets

found on the college’s website.

Old Business: From the January 24, 2007 meeting:

Criminal Justice Technology (Program) [Change]; Criminal Justice Technology-AS

Law Enforcement Articulation Track (Program) [New]: Doug Brown presented the

proposals stating that as requested at the January meeting, he had contacted Tallahassee

and verified that the Program CIP for the Criminal Justice Technology Program and the

new Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Track in the AS program were the same. Mike

Davis made a motion to accept the proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the

motion. The Criminal Justice Technology AS program will have two tracks—the General

Criminal Justice AS and a new Criminal Justice AS Law Enforcement Track. The

current Law Enforcement Criminal Justice Track is an academic program for students

entering the criminal justice field with no or limited occupational experience. It does not

allow sworn law enforcement personnel to utilize their career training toward college

credit. Whereas, the new Law Enforcement Track will allow sworn certified law

enforcement personnel to articulate college credit based on their training and passage of

the state certification examinations. The new track will parallel with the current

Corrections AS Track and provide law enforcement officers a fast track to an AS degree.

The pneumonic codes will differentiate between the old and new criminal justice

programs. The proposals were unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations Bridge (CJB 1020) [New]: Law Enforcement

Vehicle Operations (CJB 2020) [New]; Traffic Operations Bridge (CJB 1080) [New];

Traffic Operations (CJB 2080) [New]: Doug Brown presented the proposals explaining

that these are four new law enforcement articulated bridge courses. Chesley Robertson

made a motion to accept the proposals and Jim Morris seconded the motion. During

discussion, it was noted that the course objectives were unclear. Also, some of the

courses had too many contact hours and should be corrected. VP Carroll tabled the

proposals, and asked Doug Brown to meet with Anne Lear to correct the contact

hours.

Intro to Emergency Medical Training Review (EMS 1151) [New]; Emergency Care

I Review (EMS 1152) [New]; Emergency Care 2 Review (EMS 1153) [New]: Abe

Pallas explained that often students have to retake EMS courses that they have already

passed either because the student did not take the state licensure exam within 12 months

of completing the program; the student did not pass the licensure exam; or the student’s

credentials have lapse. When one of these incidents occurs, the state requires that the

entire program must be repeated. Since the college does not permit a student to retake

courses they have passed with a ―C‖ or above, the student must audit the courses. The

new courses will provide an alternative method for students to repeat the program and

receive financial aid. Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Chesley

Robertson seconded the motion. Logan Cross inquired about the objectives as they seem

to be very lengthy. Abe Pallas indicated that each list of objectives have to be address

and accessed. Each student must be kept track of with check offs. The proposals were


Other:

Clarification of LPN-RN Fast Track Nursing: Robbie Carson explained that a student

who has completed a Florida approved PN program within five years of acceptance into

the LPN-RN program is awarded 10 experiential learning credits. Six experiential

learning credits are awarded for the Upward Mobility Test, Nursing Foundations; and

four experiential learning credits are awarded for previous learning in clinical skills and

maternal, infant, and pediatrics documented through a Florida Practice Nurse license.

Next meeting: April 11, 2007; agenda deadline April 3.

Robin Roberts the minutes of the March 14, 2007 meeting were unanimously approved.

Old Business:

Paramedic 2 Clinical (EMSL 2436) [Change]: Abe Pallas explained that the Paramedic

program is listed at 44 hours, which is two hours over the Curriculum Frameworks limit

of 42 hours. It is proposed to reduce the credit hours in EMSL 2436 from ten to eight

hours in order to bring the program in compliance with the Florida Department of

Education Curriculum Frameworks. Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal

and Robbie Carson seconded the motion. The proposal was approved unanimously

by roll call vote.

Paramedic (Program) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal and

Robbie Carson seconded the motion. Abe Pallas explained that the Florida Department

of Health requires that AIDS in Florida (WFHX 0019) be offered as part of the

Paramedic curriculum. The addition of the course will increase the program’s clock

hours by four but the program will still be within the allocated range, as WFHX 0019 is a

non-credit course. Mike Davis indicated there is a difference in how fees are assessed for

PSAV courses and community education courses. Following discussion VP Carroll

asked Abe Pallas, John Gosford and Ann Lear to meet with Mike Davis and determine

the assessment of fees for the course. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll

call vote.

New Business:

Introduction to Terrorism (CCJ 2624) [New]: Steve Anderson explained that this is a

new course to be offered as an elective credit in the Criminal Justice Technology Law

Enforcement AS Degree program. The course is in the Statewide Course Numbering

System. Chesley Robertson made a motion to accept the proposal and Robbie Carson

seconded the motion. VP Carroll questioned whether this course would be in conflict

with the course Saint Leo offers, especially a conflict with the articulation agreement

between Saint Leo and LCCC. VP Carroll tabled the proposal and asked Steve

Anderson to find out which courses Saint Leo and LCCC can and cannot offer. He

specially asked Steve Anderson to find out the names of colleges that are offering the

course.

Ceramics I (ART 2750) [Change]: Brian Dopson explained that this proposal is to

delete wheel-thrown techniques from the current course description. Janis Brother stated

that wheel thrown techniques are offered in other courses. Brian Dopson made a motion

to approve the proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Maximum

enrollment for the course is 24 students. The proposal was approved unanimously by

roll call vote.

Ceramics II (ART 2751) [New]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposal

and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. This is a new course to be offered as an elective

credit for the AA degree. The addition of the course will allow students who have

successfully completed Ceramics I to continue the study and production of hand-built

ceramics. Maximum enrollment for the course is 15 students. The proposal was

approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Ceramics II (ART 2752) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the

proposal and Fran Ross seconded the motion. This proposal is to change the course title

from Ceramics II to Wheel Throwing I, as the current title does not align with the course

title and profile description in the Statewide Course Numbering System. This change

will bring the course in alignment with the state title and description. The course will be

able to accommodate 9 students. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call

vote.

Annual Course Deletions: Gayle Hunter explained that the state requires courses that

have not been taught in five years and are not expected to be offered during the next five

years to be deleted from college course inventory and the Statewide Course Numbering

System. Mike Davis made a motion to accept the course deletions and Gayle Hunter

seconded the motion. Abe Pallas asked to have the EMS courses removed from the

Occupational Program’s list. Following discussion the consensus of the group was to

modify the Liberal Arts list as some of the courses may be offered again. Mike Davis

amended his motion to accept the remaining courses for deletion. The motion was


Annual Course Continuation: Gayle Hunter explained that the courses listed have not

been taught for five years, but are expected to be offered during the next five years.

Mike Davis made a motion to accept the courses with the addition of the courses

removed from the course deletion list, and Robbie Carson seconded the motion. The

motion was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Lab Fees: Brian Dopson presented the methodology for establishing laboratory fees. He

noted that there are five types of fees assessed by the college. Brian Dopson made a

motion to accept the proposal and Robin Roberts seconded the motion. Charles Carroll

stated that this is the procedure submitted to the auditors and should go into effect fall

2007. There was discussion regarding lab fees for hybrid/compressed video and multiple

lab fee situations. Charles Carroll appointed Brian Dopson, Tracy Hickman, Linda

Croley, Abe Pallas, Pam Carswell, Gayle Hunter, and Mike Davis or his designee to

serve on an ad hoc committee to review lab fees. He asked that an update be provided at

each EAC meeting until a resolution is reached. Brian Dopson will chair the committee.

The Lab Fee Procedure was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Other:

VP Carroll asked Mary Simmons to put together a list of faculty who will be available for

summer. Charles Carroll announced that an item for discussion for the next meeting will

be suspending EAC rules for the summer. The group should be considering suspension

of the rules and be ready to provide input.

Next meeting: The next meeting is April 25, 2007. The agenda deadline is April 17.

Tracy Hickman the minutes of the April 11, 2007 meeting were unanimously approved.

Old Business:

Communications (CJK 0015) [Change]; CMS Basic Law Enforcement [Change]:

Tracy Hickman presented the proposals to increase the clock hours in CJK 0015 from 50

to 77 hours and change the occupational credits to 2.57. This change will comply with

DOC requirements. The change to CMS Basic Law Enforcement program is to

incorporate a standard formula for configuring credits by using the formula: course clock

hours divided by thirty. The change will make calculating the contact hours and credit

hours consistent with all other occupational programs. Abe Pallas made a motion to

accept the proposals and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. The motion was


Introduction to Terrorism (CCJ 2624) [New]: Tracy Hickman reported that Saint Leo

University had indicated the university would grant credit to students who take Intro to

Terrorism at LCCC and transfer to Saint Leo University. Bob Yorke made a motion to

accept the proposal and John Piersol seconded the motion. Following discussion VP

Carroll tabled the proposal, and asked Steve Anderson to find out from the Criminal

Justice Academic Advisory Committee if this is a course they want to include in the

Criminal Justice Technology Law Enforcement program. The proposal will not be

placed on the EAC agenda again until VP Carroll is provided requested information.

New Business:

John Piersol suggested that the following items be discussed at one time:

Agribusiness Management AS-Horticulture [Change]; Introduction to Agribusiness

(AEB 1003) [New]; Intro to Financial Accounting (ACG 2021) [Deletion];

Landscape and Horticulture Professional Certificate (Program) [New]; Certificate

in Horticulture (Program) [Deletion]: John Piersol made a motion to accept the

proposals and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. John Piersol explained that these are

basically changes to Agribusiness Management AS program. Six courses are being

deleted from the AS Horticulture track and replaced with existing LCCC courses. One

new course, Introduction to Agribusiness, is being added to the program. Intro to

Financial Accounting is being deleted as a core option in the Forest Operations track. A

new 18 credit hours Landscape and Horticulture Professional Certificate is being

embedded within the Agribusiness Management AS degree that will lead to employment

within the agriculture business for those students not seeking a degree. On the

recommendation of the Agribusiness Management Advisory Council, the 30 credit hours

Certificate in Horticulture is being deleted from the college inventory due to the course

content and length not meeting the needs of industry. The proposals were approved

unanimously by roll call vote.

Anatomy and Physiology I (BSC 2085); Anatomy and Physiology I Lab (BSCL

2085): Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposals and Chesley Robertson

seconded the motion. Brian Dopson explained that currently BSC 2085 and BSCL 2085

have a math prerequisite of MAT 0002 with a ―C‖ or better, it is proposed to eliminate

MAT 0002 and add the completion of MAT 0024 with a ―C‖ or better or adequate CPT

scores as a prerequisite. The proposals were approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Other:

Suspend the Rules for the summer: Charles Carroll explained that during the summer

it is often difficult to meet a quorum, as many of the faculty members are off campus.

The majority of EAC faculty members will be on campus during Summer A 2007 term

but they will not be on campus during summer B term. John Piersol made a motion to

hold EAC meetings as needed, and suspend the rules that interfere with meeting a

quorum for Summer B term, Keith Rupert seconded the motion. The motion was


Update on Lab Fees: Brian Dopson reported that the lab fee subcommittee had met. The

group has not finalized the fee for hybrid/compressed video courses as they are awaiting

clarification on some items of concern. An update will be provided at the next EAC

meeting.

Student Learning Outcomes: Logan Cross suggested that student learning outcomes

and faculty credentials should be included in the course syllabus or an additional form

attached to the EAC form. Tracy Hickman expressed concern that if occupational

programs were starting a new program, they might not have all of the necessary

information ready for the EAC meeting. Charles Carroll asked Tracy Hickman and Brian

Dopson to meet with him to discuss issues regarding student learning outcomes and

faculty credentials.

Adjourn: 3:40 p.m.

Pallas, the minutes of the June 13, 2007 meeting were unanimously approved.

Abe Pallas suggested that the following proposals be considered at one time. Vocational

Adjustments 1 (PRN 0012) [Deletion]; Basic Nursing (PRNC 0001) [Change];

Medical/Surgical Nursing II (PRNC 0382) [Change]; Practical Nursing (Program)

[Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Tracy Hickman

seconded the motion. Abe Pallas presented the following proposals:

PRN 0012— delete PRN 0012, a 0.4 vocational credits course, from the PN program.

The course should be deleted from LCCC’s Course Inventory in one year.

PRNC 0001— increase the vocational credits from 9.47 to 9.87credits. The current $50

lab fee will remain the same.

PRNC 0382—decrease the vocational credits from 13.63 to 13.20 credits. The current

$60 lab fee will remain the same.

Practical Nursing (Program) [Change]: The following course substitutions were

requested:

Course Substitute For

NUR 1192 or HUN 1201 PRN 0070

BSC 2084 or both BSC/L 2085 and BSC/L

2086

PRN 0080

DEP 2004 PRN 0020

All proposals were approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Vocational Adjustments II (PRN 0011) [Change]: Abe Pallas presented the proposal to

increase the vocational credits from 0.43 to 0.86 credits, and change the course name to

Transition into Practice to reflect the course content. Abe Pallas made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. The proposal was


Compressed Video Lab Fee (New): Brian Dopson presented the proposal and explained

that students who take compressed video courses at distance sites are charged a $30 fee,

while students on campus are not charged the distance learning fee. It is proposed that all

students who take a compressed video course will be assessed a $30 fee regardless of

origination site. Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposal, and Mike Davis

seconded the motion. It was noted that if a compressed video section is changed to a

regular section after the drop/add period, the Registrar’s Office is responsible for

contacting Informational Technology to rerun snapshot to update Blackboard from SIS.

The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

Lab Fees for Hybrid and Internet Courses: Brian Dopson explained that students who

take an internet course are charged a $30 lab fee; if the course has a lab component

students are charged an additional $15 lab fee. Some internet and hybrid courses do not

require use of the labs, and students pay a fee for which they receive no benefit. It is

proposed to charge a $15 lab fee in addition to the internet/hybrid fee for hybrid and

internet courses that have a required lab component where students must go to the lab for

specified assignments. Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposal and Gayle

Hunter seconded the motion. Following discussion, Mr. Carroll asked Brian Dopson

and the subcommittee to meet with Vice President Hamm and explore the User Fee and

find out if there are other ways to handle the fee. The proposal was tabled until the

next regular meeting.

Physical Therapist Assistant Program (Change): Tracy Hickman made a motion to

accept the proposal and Olga Dreeben seconded the motion. Olga Dreeben presented the

proposal to delete History of the African American (AMH 1091) as a course substitute

for Ethics (PHI 2600). Only one student has taken the course in seven years. The course

is not a humanities course used as a substitute for Ethics, and creates a problem for

transfer students who want to substitute other history courses for Ethics. The proposal

was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Paramedic 2 Clinical (EMSL 2436) [Change]: John Gosford presented the proposal to

assess an $80 lab fee to cover the cost of database tracking of students’ skills and

schedule during the clinical and field components of the entire paramedic program.

Tracking of students is required by the accreditation agency and an $80 fee meets their

requirements. Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the proposal and Abe Pallas

seconded the motion. It was noted that the prerequisite of BSC/L 2084 shown on the

Course Input Sheet is not an approved prerequisite for this course. VP Carroll asked Abe

Pallas and John Gosford to review the program prerequisites, pull the prerequisites

directly from the database, and report back to the committee. The proposal was


Emergency Medical Technician Basic (Program) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a

motion to accept the proposal and John Piersol seconded the motion. John Gosford

presented the proposal to eliminate TABE testing as an admission requirement to the

EMT (Applied Technology Diploma) program. Per the Department of Education, the

TABE test is to be administered within six weeks after admission into the program, and is

a program exit requirement. This is a one semester program. It was noted that

graduation applications should not be signed by an advisor and sent to the Registrar if the

student has not met the TABE exit requirement. The proposal was unanimously

approved by roll call vote.

New Business:

AA Electives (Change): Gayle Hunter explained that the list of courses designated as

AA elective credit was last revised in December 2002. Since then some new courses

have been added to the college catalog. When reviewing the list of electives, some

discrepancies were discovered and discussed with the appropriate dean and the Vice

President for Instruction and Student Services to determine whether or not to include the

course on the list of AA electives. The proposal is to approve the list as the official list

for AA elective credit. Gayle Hunter made a motion to accept the proposal and Fred

Smith seconded the motion. Paula Cifuentes questioned why math courses that are no

longer offered are on the list. Gayle Hunter explained that these courses should be left on

the list to assist advisors when advising students as to which course(s) they may have

taken will apply toward elective credit and to help the Registrar’s Office in the clearance

of graduates. She further explained that many of the additional courses are music

courses. Vice President Carroll had reviewed the different music courses and clarified

the ones that should be on the list. VP Carroll suggested that the coordinators might

consider offering some of the courses that are no longer in the college catalog to ensure

that courses which have not be taught in five years will not be deleted from the college

course inventory. It was pointed out that the math courses in question are no longer in

the college course inventory. VP Carroll asked Gayle Hunter to bring back to the

committee a list of elective courses from all areas that are still in the college course

inventory. The AA Electives Master List was approved unanimously by roll call

vote.

Keith Rupert, the minutes of the September 12, 2007 meeting were unanimously

approved.

New Business:

Essentials of Physics (PHY 1020) [New]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the

proposal and Paula Cifuentes seconded the motion. Brian Dopson explained that the

college currently offers General Physics with Calculus 1 and 2; and General Physics 1

and 2 with lab work integrated with lecture. Olga Dreeben had requested that a physics

course be developed specifically tailored to the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA)

program to comply with the program’s new curriculum accreditation requirements.

During discussion, it was pointed out that a student would need to take two semesters of

the current physics courses in order to get the new curriculum’s required topics for the

PTA program. The proposed new course is a one semester three credits course without a

lab component. Students who complete MAT 1033 should have the necessary skills

required for PHY 1020. The course can also be offered to non-science students as an AA

transferable elective. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Veterinary Technology AS (Program) [New]: Abe Pallas explained that the Vet Tech

program is an AS degree program articulated through St. Petersburg College. Students

will take 22 credits of classes at LCCC, and then transfer to St. Petersburg College to

complete the program via distance learning. Discussion ensued regarding general

education vs. non designated general education courses as not all of the suggested courses

with the indicated prefixes are classified as general education courses at LCCC.

Following discussion, the consensus was that the courses taken at LCCC must be

designated as a general education course in the LCCC catalog. Chesley Robertson made

a motion to accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. The

proposal was approved unanimously as amended by roll call vote.

Biotechnology AS (Program) [New]: This new AS degree program is articulated

through Santa Fe Community College (SFCC). Students take 42 credits of general

education courses at LCCC, and then transfer to SFCC to complete the degree. Abe

Pallas made a motion to accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion.

The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Respiratory Care AS (Program) [New]: This is a new program articulated through

Santa Fe Community College (SFCC). Students take 19 credits of designated general

education courses at LCCC, and transfer to SFCC to complete the program. Abe Pallas

made a motion to accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. The

proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

In response to a question regarding where the new programs would fall under the

program review schedule, VP Carroll stated that the new programs do not fall under

program review since LCCC does not award the degree.

Other:

Course Prerequisites: Abe Pallas wondered if it is feasible to identify one course from a

previous semester as a prerequisite required for a program such as nursing and PTA. VP

Carroll asked members to give thought to course prerequisites and this item will be

placed on the agenda for the next meeting.

Any changes to course descriptions must be brought to EAC.

EMS Instructor Course (EMS 2761) [New]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept

the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. John Gosford explained that this is a

three credit course developed by the state to prepare potential paramedic graduates to

assist in teaching EMS courses. The course will comply with recommended guidelines

for state certification. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Welding Program (Courses) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the

proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman explained that

currently there are course prerequisites and corequisites within the Welding program that

need to be cleaned up in preparation for the Banner conversion. By making these course

changes, it will make it easier for students to register and be successful in the program.


John Piersol suggested that the following proposals be presented at one time: Field

Cooperative Training in Landscape Operations (ORHL 2941) [Change]: John

Internship and Jim Morris seconded the motion. John Piersol explained that more

colleges are using the term Internship, which is more descriptive of the course. The title

changes will update the programs to reflect more accurate terminology and bring the

courses in alignment with the SCNS course titles. The proposals were approved


Soils and Fertilizers (SOS 1102) [Change]: John Piersol made a motion to accept the

proposal to change the course prefix and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. John

Piersol explained that the state has mandated that all SOS courses be changed to SWS

effective August 2008. The updated prefix definition will include the water element of

SOS courses. VP Carroll reminded the group that people should look closely at course

content and the way LCCC’s instructors teach courses before making a course number

change. Sometimes, the course content and the manner in which it is taught, does not

require the number to be changed. Logan Cross noted that if someone needs to do an

analysis of the course, there might be implications with two different prefixes entered

into the student database. VP Carroll asked John Piersol to check with Mike Davis

regarding the repercussions, if any, of a course having two prefixes in the student

database. The proposal was approved by majority vote.

Landscape Estimating & Contracting (ORH 1230) [Change]: John Piersol made a

motion to accept the proposal and Jim Morris seconded the motion. John Piersol

explained that this is a change to the course number only. When the course was

submitted to the state for approval, the state provided the wrong course number. The

current course title and description will remain the same. The proposal was approved


HVAC [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the proposal and Chesley

Robertson seconded the motion. This proposal is to align the course prerequisites and

corequisites within the program to ensure students enroll in the proper courses. The

proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

the Proposed Esthetician Certificate Audit Sheet. In addition to the corequisites

indicated, CSP 0006C and CSP 0007 will be added as corequisites to Introduction to

Cosmetology (COS 0011). No prerequisites are required for the program. Tracy

Hickman made a motion to accept the proposal with changes and Chesley Robertson

seconded the motion. The proposal was unanimously approved by roll call vote as

amended.

Cosmetology Courses [Change]: Tracy Hickman explained that the Esthetician

program is embedded within the Cosmetology program; Gayle Hunter spoke with the

Banner consultant and a course cannot have different corequisites and prerequisites

depending upon the program, the corequisites and prerequisites are linked to the course

not the program. Therefore, additional courses need to be added as corequisites to the

second semester of the Cosmetology program. Orientation/Intro to Cosmetology (COS

0011) will be added as a corequisites to Esthetics & Skin Care I (CSP 0006C), and

Esthetics & Skin Care II (CSP 0007). Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the

proposal as revised and Mattie Jones seconded the motion. The proposal was approved

unanimously by roll call vote as amended.

Forest Operations Courses [Change]: John Piersol made a motion to accept the

proposal and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. John Piersol explained that the

proposal is to change the prerequisites and corequisites as recommended on the proposed

program audit sheet. In order for students to be successful in the program they must take

courses in the sequence they are listed on the audit sheet. The proposal was approved


Public Speaking II (SPC 2601) [New]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the

proposal and Keith Rupert seconded the motion. Brian Dopson presented the proposal

and explained that John Gillette is trying to build a forensics program. Although it was

not indicated on the EAC Action Form, this is a new three credit course that will be

added as an AA transferable elective. After confirming with John Gillette, SPC 2511 will

be a prerequisite to the course. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call

vote as amended.

Old Business:

Law Enforcement Basic (Program) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to

accept the proposal as presented and Jim Morris seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman

explained that the proposal is to amend the program requirements in order to bring it in

line with the state system and FDLE requirements. The proposal was approved


Special Topics (CJK 0095) [Deletion]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the

proposal as presented and Gayle Hunter seconded the motion. This proposal is to delete

CJK 0095 from the Law Enforcement program. The course is no longer needed as the

curriculum is taught in another course. The proposal was approved unanimously by

roll call vote.

Introduction to Law (CJK 0007C) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to

accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Currently, this course is 2.23

vocational credits and 67 clock hours. The proposal is to change the course to .36

vocational credits and 11 clock hours in order to bring the course in line with the state

system and FDLE requirements. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call

and changes being made to the Cross-Over to Law Enforcement program to bring the

program in line with the state system and FDLE requirements. There is no lab fee

requested. The proposals were approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Introduction to Small Business Finance (FIN 2003) [New]: Tracy Hickman explained

that people have shown an interest in a small business course and FIN 2003 is being

added to meet the needs of an owner or manager of a small business or a new startup

business. Mr. Carroll pointed out that the course could not count as an AS course as it is

not yet taught at another institution. The course could toward an AAS or certificate only.

Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the proposal as amended and Abe Pallas

seconded the motion. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Allied Health Assistant (HCP 0780) [Change]: Advanced Allied Health Assistant

(HCP 0781) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Mattie

Jones seconded the motion. Currently HCP 0780 and HCP 0781 have a prerequisite of

HCP 0001 (Health Careers Core); it is proposed to change HCP 0001 to a co-requisite.

The Curriculum Frameworks for the Patient Care Technician program indicates that

Health Careers Core may be taken concurrently with HCP 0780 or HCP 0781. This

change will allow part-time students to take two courses concurrently. The proposals

were approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Introduction to Crafts (ART 2100C) [Change]: Brain Dopson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Fran Rossi explained that

the course description for ART 2100C is very brief and is limited to fibers only when

actually students work with both clay and fibers. This proposal is to change the course

description to more accurately reflect the course content and bring it in line with the

Statewide Course Numbering System. The proposal was approved unanimously by

roll call vote.

Jewelry 1 (ART 2150) [New]: VP Carroll noted that the Statewide Course Numbering

System indicates that the college is already offering this course as Arts and Crafts II. The

proposal was tabled, the course title and description should be clarified and the proposal

brought back to EAC.

Design Fundamental (ART 1201C) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept

the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. VP Carroll noted that the

Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) does not show LCCC as offering ART

1201C. The course was most likely removed from the college course inventory during a

state field review. The proposal was tabled and should be resubmitted as a new course

with changes needed to bring it in line with the SCNS.

Desktop Publishing with Quark (GRA 2122C) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a

motion to accept the proposal and Pam Carswell seconded the motion. The proposal is

to eliminate CGS 1572 as a prerequisite for GRA 2122C. An introduction to

QuarkXPress software is covered in Introduction to Computer Graphics which prepares

students for Desktop Publishing with Quark. The proposal was approved unanimously

by roll call vote.

Graphic Design Production (Program) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Jim Morris seconded the motion. This change is to eliminate

PGY 2401 (Introduction to Photography) as a program requirement and replace it with

CGS 1572 (Desktop Publishing with Graphics) with a grade of ―C‖ or better. Many

companies have switched to InDesign software and the program change will better

prepare students to meet the needs of industry. The proposal was approved


Course Renumbering: Gayle Hunter explained that the following courses were

approved by EAC and the Board; however, when they were submitted to the Statewide

Course Numbering System the courses were approved but the course numbers were

changed based upon a review and comparison to statewide course, titles and descriptions.

Course Old Number New Number

Operations Management MAN 2504 MAN 2500

Introduction to Supply Chain Management TRA 1010 TRA 2154

Transportation and Distribution TRA 2011 TRA 2010

Warehouse Management TRA 2210 TRA 2230

Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposals and Gayle Hunter seconded the

motion. The proposals were approved unanimously.

Annual Course Continuation: Gayle Hunter explained that the state requires each

community college to review classes which have not been taught for five years. Any such

classes which the institution wishes to continue must be reviewed in the same manner

that the institution reviews courses which are proposed for addition to the catalog and

statewide course numbering system. A course may be continued in the catalog if the

institution plans to offer it during the next five years. Gayle Hunter made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Following discussion the

recommendation was made to remove MVO 1211 and MVO 1311 from the deletion list

and include in the continuation of courses. The proposal was approved unanimously

as amended.

Annual Course Deletions: Gayle Hunter made a motion to approve the proposal and

Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. With the removal of MVO 1211 and MVO 1311

from the list, the proposal was approved unanimously as amended.

Form: Request for Course Retake with a Grade of C or Better: VP Carroll explained

that state law mandates that students cannot repeat courses in which a grade of C or better

has been earned in a prior attempt except in special circumstances. Some colleges and

universities are requiring students to pass all prerequisites courses with a grade of B or

better prior to entry into specialty programs. The proposed form is for students to request

to repeat a course in which a grade of C or above has been earned and the student is

entering a program that requires a B or better in specific courses. Students must provide

official justification from the college/university they plan to attend. Students will be

required to pay full cost of instruction charges. Discussion ensued regarding the impact

this will have on LCCC students who might have a situation where they would need to

repeat a course. VP Carroll noted that offices impacted need to discuss further to

determine which situations will require this form and approval. If LCCC’s requirements

specify students must have a B to be admitted to a program they could fall into this

category. The initial grade and the subsequent grade will appear on the transcript, but

only the first grade is included in the GPA, with credit earned. Gayle Hunter made a

motion to accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. The proposal

was approved unanimously.

Next meeting: TBA

Pallas, the minutes of the May 7, 2008 meeting were approved unanimously.

Old Business:

Law Enforcement Basic (Program) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to

accept the proposal as presented and Jim Morris seconded the motion. Tracy Hickman

explained that the proposal is to amend the program requirements in order to bring it in

line with the state system and FDLE requirements. The proposal was approved


Special Topics (CJK 0095) [Deletion]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the

proposal as presented and Gayle Hunter seconded the motion. This proposal is to delete

CJK 0095 from the Law Enforcement program. The course is no longer needed as the

curriculum is taught in another course. The proposal was approved unanimously by

roll call vote.

Introduction to Law (CJK 0007C) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to

accept the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Currently, this course is 2.23

vocational credits and 67 clock hours. The proposal is to change the course to .36

vocational credits and 11 clock hours in order to bring the course in line with the state

system and FDLE requirements. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call

vote.

New Business:

Tracy Hickman recommended that the following proposals be considered at one time:

Cross-Over: Correctional to Law Enforcement Introduction and Legal (CJK 0211):

Change the clock hours to 47 and vocational credits to 1.69; Cross-Over

Correctional to Law Enforcement Communications (CJK 0222) [New]: 56 clock

Human Issues (CJK 0223) [New]: 32 clock hours, 1.06 vocational credits course;

Cross-Over Correctional to Law Enforcement (Program): Change to 457 hours,

and changes being made to the Cross-Over to Law Enforcement program to bring the

program in line with the state system and FDLE requirements. There is no lab fee

requested. The proposals were approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Introduction to Small Business Finance (FIN 2003) [New]: Tracy Hickman explained

that people have shown an interest in a small business course and FIN 2003 is being

added to meet the needs of an owner or manager of a small business or a new startup

business. Mr. Carroll pointed out that the course could not count as an AS course as it is

not yet taught at another institution. The course could toward an AAS or certificate only.

Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the proposal as amended and Abe Pallas

seconded the motion. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Allied Health Assistant (HCP 0780) [Change]: Advanced Allied Health Assistant

(HCP 0781) [Change]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Mattie

Jones seconded the motion. Currently HCP 0780 and HCP 0781 have a prerequisite of

HCP 0001 (Health Careers Core); it is proposed to change HCP 0001 to a co-requisite.

The Curriculum Frameworks for the Patient Care Technician program indicates that

Health Careers Core may be taken concurrently with HCP 0780 or HCP 0781. This

change will allow part-time students to take two courses concurrently. The proposals


Introduction to Crafts (ART 2100C) [Change]: Brain Dopson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Fran Rossi explained that

the course description for ART 2100C is very brief and is limited to fibers only when

actually students work with both clay and fibers. This proposal is to change the course

description to more accurately reflect the course content and bring it in line with the

Statewide Course Numbering System. The proposal was approved unanimously by

roll call vote.

Jewelry 1 (ART 2150) [New]: VP Carroll noted that the Statewide Course Numbering

System indicates that the college is already offering this course as Arts and Crafts II. The

proposal was tabled, the course title and description should be clarified and the proposal

brought back to EAC.

Design Fundamental (ART 1201C) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a motion to accept

the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. VP Carroll noted that the

Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) does not show LCCC as offering ART

1201C. The course was most likely removed from the college course inventory during a

state field review. The proposal was tabled and should be resubmitted as a new course

with changes needed to bring it in line with the SCNS.

Desktop Publishing with Quark (GRA 2122C) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a

motion to accept the proposal and Pam Carswell seconded the motion. The proposal is

to eliminate CGS 1572 as a prerequisite for GRA 2122C. An introduction to

QuarkXPress software is covered in Introduction to Computer Graphics which prepares

students for Desktop Publishing with Quark. The proposal was approved unanimously

by roll call vote.

Graphic Design Production (Program) [Change]: Brian Dopson made a motion to

accept the proposal and Jim Morris seconded the motion. This change is to eliminate

PGY 2401 (Introduction to Photography) as a program requirement and replace it with

CGS 1572 (Desktop Publishing with Graphics) with a grade of ―C‖ or better. Many

companies have switched to InDesign software and the program change will better

prepare students to meet the needs of industry. The proposal was approved


Course Renumbering: Gayle Hunter explained that the following courses were

approved by EAC and the Board; however, when they were submitted to the Statewide

Course Numbering System the courses were approved but the course numbers were

changed based upon a review and comparison to statewide course, titles and descriptions.

Course Old Number New Number

Operations Management MAN 2504 MAN 2500

Introduction to Supply Chain Management TRA 1010 TRA 2154

Transportation and Distribution TRA 2011 TRA 2010

Warehouse Management TRA 2210 TRA 2230

Brian Dopson made a motion to accept the proposals and Gayle Hunter seconded the

motion. The proposals were approved unanimously.

Annual Course Continuation: Gayle Hunter explained that the state requires each

community college to review classes which have not been taught for five years. Any such

classes which the institution wishes to continue must be reviewed in the same manner

that the institution reviews courses which are proposed for addition to the catalog and

statewide course numbering system. A course may be continued in the catalog if the

institution plans to offer it during the next five years. Gayle Hunter made a motion to

accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. Following discussion the

recommendation was made to remove MVO 1211 and MVO 1311 from the deletion list

and include in the continuation of courses. The proposal was approved unanimously

as amended.

Annual Course Deletions: Gayle Hunter made a motion to approve the proposal and

Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. With the removal of MVO 1211 and MVO 1311

from the list, the proposal was approved unanimously as amended.

Form: Request for Course Retake with a Grade of C or Better: VP Carroll explained

that state law mandates that students cannot repeat courses in which a grade of C or better

has been earned in a prior attempt except in special circumstances. Some colleges and

universities are requiring students to pass all prerequisites courses with a grade of B or

better prior to entry into specialty programs. The proposed form is for students to request

to repeat a course in which a grade of C or above has been earned and the student is

entering a program that requires a B or better in specific courses. Students must provide

official justification from the college/university they plan to attend. Students will be

required to pay full cost of instruction charges. Discussion ensued regarding the impact

this will have on LCCC students who might have a situation where they would need to

repeat a course. VP Carroll noted that offices impacted need to discuss further to

determine which situations will require this form and approval. If LCCC’s requirements

specify students must have a B to be admitted to a program they could fall into this

category. The initial grade and the subsequent grade will appear on the transcript, but

only the first grade is included in the GPA, with credit earned. Gayle Hunter made a

motion to accept the proposal and Tracy Hickman seconded the motion. The proposal

was approved unanimously.

Next meeting: TBA

Present: Charles Carroll, Abe Pallas, Brian Dopson, Chesley Robertson, Fred Smith,

Gayle Hunter, Ian Rodriguez, John Piersol, Juan Guzman, Linda Croley, Mattie Jones,

Olga Dreeben, Pam Carswell, Tracy Hickman, and Mary Simmons

Approval of Minutes: Gayle Hunter made a motion to accept the minutes and Tracy

Hickman seconded the motion. It was noted under FIN 2003, ―could‖ was inadvertently

omitted. The sentence should read, ―The course could count toward an AAS or

certificate only.‖ There upon, the minutes of the July 9, 2008 meeting were approved

unanimously as amended.

Criminal Justice Defensive Tactics (CJK 0051C) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a

motion to accept the proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Chesley

Robertson explained that when he submitted the course to EAC for approval, he

inadvertently left off the request for a $30 lab fee to cover expenses required for the

course. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Registered Nursing Program (Change): Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the

proposal and Chesley Robertson seconded the motion. Mattie Jones explained that the

proposal is to remove Public Speaking (SPC 2600) as a required course in the nursing

curriculum. Communication skills are integrated throughout the program as students are

required to complete written assignments and engage in public speaking. Anyone

starting the nursing program prior to summer 2009 would still need SPC 2600. The

proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Principles of Nutrition and Diet Therapy (NUR 1192) [Deletion]; Human Nutrition

(HUN 1201) [New]: Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Chesley

Robertson seconded the motion. These proposals are to remove NUR 1192 as a required

course in the RN program and add HUN 1201. VP Carroll noted that HUN 1201 is not a

general education course but a transferable elective. He asked that HUN 1201be added to

the list of courses that state employees cannot use for a tuition waiver. The proposals


Pharmacology (NUR 1142) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the

proposal and Mattie Jones seconded the motion. Mattie Jones explained that a focus

group consisting of ASDN faculty members were able to identify that NUR 1142 was a

course that students were struggling with. By increasing the credits from one to two

credits, instructors will have additional time to address drug therapy, which will enhance

students’ preparation for medication administration. VP Carroll asked that this course

also be added to the list of courses that state employees cannot use for a tuition waiver.

Students must obtain a grade of ―C‖ or better in BSC/L 2085. The proposal was


Nursing Foundations (NUR 1020C) [Change]; Nursing Foundations Review (NUR

1023C) [Change]: Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept the proposals and Fred

Smith seconded the motion. NUR 1020C and NUR 10234C each are being expanded

from six credits to eight credits. By making these changes, the courses will be

strengthened by allowing more time for establishing a solid basis upon which to build in

subsequent courses. Instructors would also have additional time to work with students in

the Foundations course, which will increase student retention. The proposals were


Registered Nursing Program AS (Change): Tracy Hickman made a motion to accept

the proposal and Abe Pallas seconded the motion. Abe Pallas explained that the

proposed changes are to remove Public Speaking (SPC 2600) as a corequisite; remove

Nutrition (NUR 1192) as a core course; add Nutrition (HUN 1201) as a corequisite;

change Pharmacology (NUR 1142) to a two credits course; and change Nursing

Foundations (NUR 1020C) to an eight credits course. The proposal was approved

time. Abe Pallas made a motion to accept the proposals and Tracy Hickman seconded

the motion. LPN-RN Bridge Track (1) Traditional full-time (Program) [Change]:

12 for students in LPN status who have a GPA of 2.8 or better. LPN-RN Bridge: Fast

Track part-time (Program) [Change]: Public Speaking (SPC 2600) and Nutrition

(NUR 1192) are being removed as prerequisites; Nutrition (HUN 1201) is being added as

a prerequisite; and Pharmacology (NUR 1142) is being increased to a two credits course.

During discussion, it was noted that the Bridge (2) fast- track students get additional

experiential credit because of LPN status, they have prior experience and they must have

a higher GPA. VP Carroll asked Abe Pallas to get with Gayle Hunter to make sure the

Registrar’s Office understands the changes. The proposals were approved


Occupational Programs Course Changes: Tracy Hickman explained that she, Gayle

Hunter, Sandra Johnston, and Jeanette West had worked together to try and align all

occupational courses with the college catalog, SIS and SCNS. She noted that some of the

courses listed may be redundant as they may have already been brought to EAC. VP

Carroll tabled the proposal and asked that Dean Hickman discuss the document

with him.

0011 were developed by the state to accommodate teachers and others who are working

on their reading courses for teacher certification. The courses will be offered as

Other: Logan Cross reported there have been instances where students received vocational credit when they should have received college credit, and this has created problems with reports generated from his department. Approved courses are assigned a CIP code, but the discipline code does not designate whether the course is vocational or college credit. When his area is preparing reports, they have to figure out if the code has been entered properly.

Tracy Hickman presented the proposals and explained that the courses are the core for the Lean

Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate program. The program and coursework essentially mirrors

Hillsborough Community College’s Banner Center for Manufacturing. The proposals were


Arithmetic with Algebra (MAT 0012) [New]: Brian Dopson made a motion to approve the

proposal and Brad Joseph seconded the motion. Brian Dopson clarified that MAT 0012 will

replace MAT 0002. He explained that data has revealed that students who pass MAT 0002 with

a “C” often fail MAT 0024. The consultant for the QEP proposed that the curriculum in MAT

0002 is too elementary and is not serving adequate preparation for MAT 0024. By replacing the

course with MAT 0012 students will build algebraic skills to better prepare them for success in

MAT 0024. The prerequisite for the course is scores on the CPT of 20-85 in Arithmetic and 20-

71 in algebra. The proposal was approved unanimously by roll call vote.

Other:

VP Carroll reported on Dr. Rudy Jackson’s visit. Dr. Jackson was very complimentary on the

efforts put forth by faculty and staff in preparing for the SACS reaffirmation process. He gave

the QEP Committee directions noting that student learning outcomes have to be completed. The

compliance points have to be completed and sent to the off-site committee in March. The on-

site team will be on campus in October.

Adjourn: 3:35 p.m.
