Program Manual March 2004 Page 7 Approval and Modification of Academic and Occupational Curricula: Determining Appropriate Application Forms and Processes Approval of Academic and Occupational Curricula The Illinois Public Community College Act authorizes the ICCB to approve new curricula (new units of instruction). The statute also gives community colleges authority to create "reasonable and moderate extensions" of previously approved curricula, in keeping with parameters established by the ICCB. A different application is used for each process, and a streamlined application is used in some cases. The first step in adding new curricula is to determine the appropriate application form and process, which depends upon the college's existing curricula, as well as the type of program to be introduced. CURRICULUM APPLICATION FORM AA/AS Degrees: The Associate in Arts (AA) and Associate in Science (AS) degrees are prescribed curricula intended to transfer to baccalaureate degree programs. The AA focuses on the arts, humanities, or social or behavioral sciences or one of the professional fields with these disciplines as a base. The AS focuses on baccalaureate degree programs in one of the mathematical, biological, or physical science fields or one of the professional fields with these disciplines as a base. AES and AFA Degrees: The Associate in Engineering Science (AES) degree focuses on a prescribed curriculum intended to transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in engineering. The Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree focuses on a prescribed curriculum intended to transfer to baccalaureate degree programs in one of the fine arts: art, art education, music, or music education. A Reasonable and Moderate Extension may be applied for if the initial (parent) program includes less than four options. N/A: AA/AS degrees are already approved at every Illinois public community college Form 20ES "Application for Associate in Engineering Science" or Form 20FA "Application for Associate in Fine Arts" AGS Degree: The Associate in General Studies (AGS) degree focuses on a prescribed curriculum individually designed by a college-appointed advisor to meet a student's educational objectives that cannot be met by other degrees offered by the college. Form 20GS "Application for Associate in General Studies" AAS Degrees and Occupational Certificates: Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees and occupational certificates prepare individuals for employment or advancement in various occupational specialties. . Reasonable and Moderate Extension: A curriculum spinoff of existing curricula meeting parameters of a reasonable and moderate extension of a previously approved unit of instruction. . New Unit of Instruction: A curriculum new to the college and beyond the parameters of a reasonable and moderate extension. Form 21 "Reasonable and Moderate Extension Request" Form 20 "Occupational Curriculum Approval Application"
Program Manual March 2004 Page 8 Approval of Cooperative Agreements for Instruction Cooperative agreements between community colleges and other higher education institutions outside of the community college's higher education regional consortium require ICCB approval (see ICCB Rule 1501.307). This includes: • Interdistrict agreements to enable students of the community college district to attend another district's program(s)/course(s), when the other district is outside of the higher education regional consortium: This is currently the most common form of cooperative agreement, wherein community colleges list in their catalogs the programs their students may access at other area community colleges. The "sending" institution applies for approval. Criteria for approval include accessibility of instruction to students, labor market need, comprehensiveness of available programs for students, cost-effectiveness in providing instructional programs, impact on regional and statewide programs, and impact on programs at neighboring community college districts. • Out-of-district agreements between the community college and another public or private higher education institution, outside of the higher education regional consortium: Included are agreements in which the community college's students could attend the programs of the other institution, or in which the other institutions might deliver the program at the community college. The criteria are the same as noted above for interdistrict agreements. • Extension of curricula into another community college district: A community college may extend previously approved curricula into another community college district (outside of its higher education regional consortium) with ICCB approval. Criteria for approval include a request from the community college district in which the proposed program is to be offered, labor market need, cost-effectiveness in providing instructional programs, adequacy of facilities and support services, impact on regional and statewide programs, and impact on programs at neighboring community college districts. ICCB approval is not needed for: • agreements with secondary schools • agreements between community colleges and other institutions within the same higher education regional consortium, including in-district agreements and interdistrict agreements, as such agreements within the consortium were approved by action of the ICCB at its June 1995 meeting • modifications of existing agreements, including to add programs • extension of credit courses into another community college district (permission of that district is required) Application for Approval: To apply for approval, the community college district should submit the proposed cooperative agreement to the ICCB and address how it meets these criteria. ICCB staff review the application and work with the college to address any questions or concerns. Agreements that meet criteria for approval are then presented to the ICCB for action. Applications should be submitted at least six weeks in advance of the ICCB meeting at which action would be taken.
