The Vice Chancellor supports campus curriculum committees in the development and revision of individual courses and programs, and facilitates the districtwide Educational Coordinating and Planning Committee, which reviews and discusses the implication of the curriculum being presented prior to submitting the curriculum proposals to the Board of Trustees for approval. Another vital element involving curriculum is to continuously monitor and update the districtwide common course list and articulated course list.
