Section 9 of the Curriculum Procedures Reference Manual (CPRM) contains information about Electronic Programs of Study (POS). This Section details the procedures that System Office Program Coordinators use to review an electronic POS. Knowing which key areas are reviewed by coordinators should help expedite the processing and approval of your POS.

Important Points

  • A program of study must be approved prior to the start of the term the program will be taught.  For example, a POS for Fall Semester 2007 must be approved electronically prior to the first day of the Fall Semester 2007 at your college.

  • NCAC Title 23 - Subchapter  2E.0204(4)
    (a) Each institution shall maintain on file with the Department of Community Colleges a copy of the official program of study approved by the institution's board of trustees.(c) A copy of each revised program of study shall be filed with and approved by the Department of Community Colleges prior to the implementation at the institution.

  • Unless a POS is disapproved, it cannot be listed or altered after the listed filing date. Prior to any courses being taught which are listed on the POS, all POS that list the courses must receive a program coordinator’s "electronic" approval. All POS that are disapproved should be corrected by the Disapproved Revision Deadline listed below.

  • Programs of study new to the college’s offerings, or new to the System, should be filed within 30 days after the college receives State Board of Community College's approval.
