Course Proposals

The FA has worked to develop course proposal processes that are as fair and equitable to faculty as possible. 

There are different processes for Course Development Forms and Course Assignment Forms, both of which are available from the Center for Teaching and Learning. 

• Complete the Course Development Form if you wish to develop a course that has never been previously offered in your chosen DE modality at SCCC.
• Complete the Course Assignment Form if you wish to be assigned to a section of course that has been previously offered in your chosen DE modality at SCCC. 

The forms are similar, except the Course Development Form requires a written rationale for the modality as well as a departmental vote. Both need to be signed by all parties indicated on the forms themselves before coming to the Distance Education Committee (DEC). If DEC approves the form, it is sent up to Academic Affairs as "recommended for approval" (DEC is a recommending body).

If you are not sure whether a course has or has not yet been offered in your chosen modality, contact the Center for Teaching and Learning.
