  • What happens if I forget to save a section before clicking on the next section?
    If one forgets to save, the information will need to be re-entered.
  • Does my course or program need Chancellor's Office approval?
    All courses are submitted to the Chancellor’s Office for approval and for updating of our curriculum inventory.
  • How long does it take for a new course/program to be created and offered in the catalog?
    For courses and programs the process of approval should take anywhere from 6 months to a year. Some courses or programs approved during the fall are approved in time to make it in the winter addendum, some courses’ approval process may take longer and those courses will more likely be added in the following year’s catalog.
  • What happens if I don't attach meeting minutes but still submit my course or program?
    Your program or course will be sent back to the author. The curriculum office requires complete documentation attached at the time of submission.
  • Where are the supplemental forms available?
    Answer: All available supplemental forms are located within the course proposals by selecting Edit or Create Proposal and on the top left of the webpage labeled “Supplemental Forms”.

     
  • How do I delete a proposal (program and course)? I have a couple tests that I want to delete.  
    Click on “My Proposals” to view the more advance options and then select the Proposal, make sure it highlights, and select the “X” to delete.
  • There used to be a cover sheet describing the purpose for the new course or modifications. Is that still there? If so, where?

    Section 1 in Course Proposals now serves as the Cover sheet, so no cover sheet will need to be uploaded or created.

  • Submitting for lecture/lab parity is a separate process, not part of WebCMS10, correct? 

    Correct, currently for Lab Parity, we will still need to go the manual process. We are awaiting formal approval to be able to utilize the online version.  The Lab Parity Form can be located: https://www.mtsac.edu/governance/committees/eddesign/documents.html
