Announcing the Approval of Updated IGETC Policies and Procedures (PDF)
Announcing the adoption of a new Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) Standards, Policies and Procedures handbook. The work that went into development of the handbook reflects extensive efforts by representatives of the three public segments of higher education to provide greater clarity to our colleges and students on IGETC Certification. It has been reviewed and endorsed by the faculty senates in each of the three segments and by the Intersegmental Council of Academic Senates (ICAS). Click here to read available question and answers regarding the IGETC Policies and Procedures.

Academic Senate Curriculum Institute
New! We are making available select presentations from our most recent event dedicated to a large variety of curriculum related issues. The Curriculum Institute is intended for faculty, particularly curriculum chairs and chief instructional officers, involved in new program development, program revision, or technology curriculum development. Faculty attending the Institute will learn good curriculum committee practices; write integrated course outlines; receive special assistance from curriculum specialists, and learn other useful skills involved in developing curriculum at the community colleges.

IMPAC Project
The Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated Curriculum (IMPAC) project is a unique intersegmental, faculty-designed and faculty-run project to ensure that students transferring from the community colleges to UC and CSU are prepared for work in their chosen major and can avoid having to repeat coursework.

Regional Curriculum Colloquia and Delegated Curriculum Approval Authority
The Curriculum Standards Handbook delegates certain curriculum approval authorities to local colleges and calls for colleges to meet regionally to share curriculum strategies and to evaluate the effectiveness of the college in meeting the delegation criteria. This paper presents a format and mechanism for accomplishing these regional colloquia. Source: The Academic Senate, 1997.
