Common Errors
The most common errors in new program submissions occur
in the catalog pages. Following are some examples.
• Skills are not expressed in competency-based terms.
Describe specifically the job duties the student will be
able to perform upon completion of the subject. For
example: “Graduates will be able to operate a tractortrailer
rig, and will be able to accurately complete all
necessary paperwork required by the employer and the
laws governing interstate shipping.”
• The conversion of clock hours to credit hours is often
incorrect (see Appendix 2, Subchapter G, §807.92(e).
• Clock hours are not consistent within the catalog pages.
Subtotals are frequently added incorrectly.
• Subject names and numbers are not the same on the
program outline as in the subject descriptions.
