5 GOVERNING AGENCIES (THECB) TEXAS HIGHER EDUCATION COORDINATING BOARD (THECB) The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) - serves as the governing agency to higher education institutions for the state of Texas to ensure institutions meet compliance requirements mandated by the state. The THECB provide guidelines, rules, regulations, policies and procedures as follows: Academic Degrees Academic (general education) courses Core Curriculum State reporting and funding reimbursement ($$$) The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) inventory: Lower-Division Academic Course Guide Manual (LDACGM or ACGM) - is the official list of approved courses for general academic transfer courses that may be offered (for state funding) by public community and technical colleges in Texas. The ACGM serves as the generic academic course inventory for all community and technical colleges in Texas. Unique Need Courses - The DCCCD may seek approval for a course that may not be listed or available under an ACGM approval number or for one with credit and/or contact hours in excess of the limits prescribed by the ACGM, which must be approved by the Coordinating Board according to the Board s Rules and Regulations. This type of general academic course is referred to as a unique need course. Any course approved and captured on the Academic Unique Need Inventory may be taught in the district.

6 GOVERNING AGENCIES (TCCNS) TEXAS COMMON COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM (TCCNS) The TCCNS is a cooperative effort among Texas community colleges and universities to facilitate transfer of freshman and sophomore level general academic courses. The TCCNS provides a shared, uniform set of course designations for students and their advisors to use in determining both course equivalency and degree applicability of transfer credit on a statewide basis. When students transfer between two participating TCCNS institutions, a course taken at the sending institution transfers as the course carrying, or cross-referenced with the same TCCNS designation at the receiving institution.

7 GOVERNING AGENCIES (SACSCOC) Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges is the regional body for the accreditation of degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states. The mission of this governing body is to enhance the quality of education throughout the region and strive to improve the effectiveness of those institutions by ensuring the institutions meet standards established by the higher education community that address the needs of society and students.

8 WHAT IS THE CURRICULUM PROCESS? The process is designed to: The Curriculum Process is a system designed for developing, revising and/or processing curriculum proposals or changes, i.e. arts and sciences courses; academic degrees, core curriculum, etc. Curriculum changes are initiated, processed and incorporated into the academic and career and technical program curriculum areas by Academic Discipline Curriculum Committees and Career and Technical Program Discipline Curriculum Committees. The DCCCD Curriculum Committees have a key role in the process. The committees are responsible for ensuring that curriculum changes have been reviewed, updated, revised and approved by the appropriate committees or councils on an annual basis. This requires a joint effort on the part of faculty, instructional leaders, deans, administrators and staff. Create and revise a curriculum Create and revise degrees/awards Create and revise courses Implement changes to the curriculum Revise and update information contained in the DCCCD Colleague Course Master, DCCCD catalogs and Degree Audit system Communicate curriculum changes

25 DCCCD PROCESS FOR REQUESTING ACADEMIC COURSES The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) periodically publishes the Lower- Division Academic Course Guide Manual (LDACGM or ACGM), which serves as the official list or inventory of general academic transfer courses that may be offered by public community and technical colleges in Texas for state funding. The state will not fund any academic courses that are not listed either in the ACGM or on the college s Academic Unique Need Inventory. There are two ways in which the DCCCD receives approval for general academic transfer courses. Courses may be taught or offered as a (1) regular general academic course or (2) unique need course.

26 UNIQUE NEED COURSES FOR DALLAS COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT This is a complete list of unique need courses that have been submitted to and approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) for the Dallas County Community College District. The district may be unable to secure these unique need courses listed below in the future for the next 3-year period (Fall 2014 Summer 2017). ARTS 2375 CUST 2370 DRAM 2374 ENGR 1172 ENGR 2110 ENGR 2300 ENGR 2310 GOVT 2371 MATH 1370 SOCI 2372 SOCI 2373 Art History III Cultural Studies Lighting Design Introduction to Experimental Techniques Introduction to Digital Systems Laboratory Applied Linear Algebra Introduction to Digital Systems Introduction to Comparative Politics Business Calculus and Applications II Communication and Negotiation Skills for Conflict Resolution Introduction to Mediation NOTE: All unique need course above are approved and may be offered Fall 2011 Summer 2014 with the exception of ARTS 2375, which is approved and may be offered Fall 2012 Summer Courses shown in italics have been approved by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to be offered only at Richland College.

27 UNIQUE NEED PROCESS MAP STEP 1: Academic Deans and/or Liaison for Academic Discipline Curriculum Committee works in conjunction with the Academic Curriculum Committee to identify three Texas public universities that the committee believes the (1a) course will be accepted as a transfer equivalent course (university/institution must provide course name and number); and/or (1b) course will meet a specific lower-division requirement of a baccalaureate degree program that no other course in the ACGM can meet (must indicate the degree program or programs toward which the course would apply at their institution OR (2) the course will transfer to only one regional university as part of a current, documented articulation agreement between a DCCCD institution and the university (by providing a copy of agreement, data showing students transfer to the university on a yearly basis into disciplinespecific major and course is a required component; and not an option or elective). STEP 5: If letter is APPROVED, the DDCM include letters with forms and submit electronically via the Online Submission System as part of the Unique Need Application Packet to the THECB for approval. STEP 2: Curriculum Committee sends the list of universities and name of contact person to the District Director of Curriculum Management (DDCM) in the Office of Curriculum Management. STEP 3: The Office of Curriculum Management sends request for letters of transferability and/or forms to the universities identified by the curriculum committee for completion and submission to DCCCD. STEP 4: The Office of Curriculum Management receives letters and/or forms from universities; and retain copies for records. District Director of Curriculum Management (DDCM) reviews and/or evaluates the letters of transferability and/or forms for accuracy. STEP 5: If letter is NOT APPROVED, DCCM informs the Curriculum Committee that the letter was not approved and cannot be included in the Unique Need Application Packet. DCCM works with curriculum committee to determine whether the committee wish to pursue and seek a letter from another university for submission to THECB or withdraw application. STEP 6: Curriculum Committee decides whether to pursue Unique Need Course approval or withdraw application. STEP 6: THECB informs DCCCD if Unique Need course is approved. STEP 7: If approved, THECB provides DCCCD with the course approval number and course is added to the Unique Need course inventory for a period of 3 years. STEP 7: If decision is made to seek approval, the DCCM will restart the process. OR STEP 7: If decision is made not to seek approval, the DCCM informs the THECB of the decision to withdraw the unique need application.
