State Board WCE and CCR Course Approvals
On January 19, 2024, the State Board approved new and modified Workforce Continuing Education courses for placement in the Combined Course Library. See Attachment A for detailed information for each course.
Colleges are reminded that new and modified courses must be downloaded to the local course library (XUIC) and applied to local course copies (XULU). These processes are a mandatory workflow following all State Board changes to the Combined Course Library. Staff requiring assistance on the course download/update process should access the “Curriculum Management for Continuing Education User Guide” (KB0010403) in ServiceNow for a step-by- step guide.
If you have questions concerning these courses or if you have questions regarding the process for submitting a new course or requesting a modification to an existing course in the CCL, send an email to the Workforce and Continuing Education Programs at WCERequests@nccommunitycolleges.edu.
