CURRICULUM COLLEEN SMITH & DANI DAY

DISCUSSION

New regulations require we send a prospectus for new program offerings to the DOE as well as to SACS. Dr. Smith hasassigned these curriculum notifications with the DOE along with outlining our curriculum process to Teaching & Learning.Dani Day explained she discovered several pieces of the curriculum process covered in several different flowcharts. Aftermeeting with the VP/Ps and several other employees, she discovered that notification to certain parties weren’t getting tothem in time to adhere to the notification requirements of the oversight bodies. Dani consolidated the processes into oneflowchart and provided a handout of the “Curriculum Management Process.” The last page of the handout indicates theshortest and longest deadlines for SACSCOC, THECB and DOE notifications.

CONCLUSIONS

ACTION ITEMS PERSON RESPONSxSLE DEADLINE

CERTIFYING ROSTERS BARBARA MONEY

DISCUSSION

Beginning Fall 2012, rosters will be certified electronically. Student Services has been working with various departmentsincluding IT, Business Administration and ARO to complete this project. Final testing will begin August 10th Dr. Money willprovide more information to the Deans to share with faculty once testing is complete. If a faculty member does not certifytheir roster, the student will not receive financial aid. If faculty fail to certify their rosters, notification will be sent to theDeans, similar to the notification for grades not being submitted at the end of the semester. Since this is the first semesterto utilize this function, any problems shoukl be reported promptly.

CONCLUSIONS

This will have a huge impact on student financial aid, but the purpose is to prevent the college from having to pay back tothe federal government funds issued to students.

ACTION ITEMS PERSON RESPONSIBLE DEADLINE

Have all faculty certify rosters Deans

Notify Barbara Money with any problems Deans

Send information on how to certify rosters to faculty Barbara Money

Send reminders to faculty for all terms. Barbara Money

MEETING DATES AND TIMES [PRESENTER]

DISCUSSION

Dr. Smith provided a handout of the proposed dates for the CAM meetings. Meetings will not be held in January, June orJuly If there is nothing to discuss, the meeting will be cancelled and members notified as far in advance as possible.

CONCLUSIONS

CAM meetings need to be scheduled a little later than the APT meetings to allow for Deans’ Meeting. By consensus,meetings will be held at CHEC because it is more centralized and has more parking availability.

ACTION ITEMS PERSON RESPONSIBLE DEADLINE

CAM meetings will be at 3:00 pm at the CHEC Colleen Smith

OTHER ITEMS VARIOUS

DISCUSSION

COE Chair, Martha Tolleson, explained that she and Faculty Council Chair, Mike Cohick, were working on a proposal toindicate what types of faculty service and professional development should be listed in Board Reports for multi-yearcontracts. The reports should include those items that benefit the community or college as a whole, or that directlycontribute to improvement in teaching. More information will be provided on this at a later time.

Encourage faculty to do advising.
