How to Modify Credit & Noncredit Programs​

Post
  1. Existing Chancellor’s Office Narrative (CON) ​

    • Request the existing program CON from the ADGE subcommittee chair.​
  2. Foundational Documentation​

    • Ensure completion and submission.​
  3. CTE: Labor Market Information​

    • LMI data is paramount to supporting the modification of Career Technical Education (CTE) programs. Use this online form to submit a request for LMI Data..​
    • An analysis of the LMI should demonstrate a need for employment in your new program’s area. It will be used to justify the program for regional and state approval. ​
  4. CTE: Advisory Committee Minutes​

    • If you need assistance with the creation of an Advisory Board, or the scheduling and recording of the minutes of meetings, contact the Director of Workforce Development. ​
    • Highlight the motions and votes that directly link to the creation of the program.​
  5. CTE: Los Angeles Regional Consortium (LARC)  ​

    • Programs Subject to this Process:
      • New, credit CTE programs
      • Existing low-unit, local certificates for state chaptering
      • Modified programs requiring a new control number in COCI
    • Programs Not Subject to this Process:
      • Noncredit CTE programs are not required to be submitted to LARC.
    • To submit the program to LARC for approval, provide the Dean, Applied Technology and Culinary Arts with the following:​
      • Completed CON​
      • Advisory Minutes​
      • Labor Market Information​​
    • Learn more about the LARC submission process.
  6. ADT: Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC)​

    • ADTs are complicated and regimented because they are rooted in a legislative initiative. They require research, external agreement, evidence, and patience. Because of this, modifying them is not as simple as modifying a certificate or even a local associate degree. We cannot modify an ADT by modifying the Chancellor’s Office Narrative. We first need to modify the Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC). TMCs are posted to the public on the Chancellor’s Office website. This is where you can see the requirements for various lists on the ADT. But TMCs that LBCC has previously filled out are housed and maintained by the Office of Academic Services.
    • However, prior to working with Academic Services to modify the TMC, the department needs to work with the Articulation Officer (Trevor Rodriguez) to ascertain which TMC List the course(s) could be added to. This involves looking at C-ID approval, articulation agreements, or transferability and the home department of course(s) at our CSU counterparts
    • Also, anytime we revise an ADT, every course that is already on the ADT has to go through re-validation. This means that existing courses on an established ADT are cracked open again to ensure that they meet the TMC’s requirements. This is obviously a heavy lift on all stakeholders, so we want to ensure that the modifications are appropriate, helpful to students, and will succeed.
  7. ADGE Subcommittee​

    • To be considered for upcoming ADGE meetings, submit the following to the subcommittee chair:​
      1. Departmental Discussions​
      2. Approval Sheet​
      3. Modified CON​
         
      4. CTE: Advisory Minutes​
      5. CTE: Labor Market Information
      6. CTE: LARC Approval Notice​
         
      7. ADT: Completed TMC​
