7. Discussion Items (see attachments)

  • 7.1 Credit for Prior Learning

    • Clarification that CPL – Credit-by-Exam is different from Assessment. Additionally, the exam for Credit-by-Exam is not approved directly by the Curriculum Committee, it is determined by the discipline faculty teaching the course

       

    • Updating Curriculum Committee Policy - CPL:

       

      • Credit-by-Portfolio > Credit-by-Authenticated Competencies; this expands the types of prior learning that can be considered through this method

         

      • Credit-by-Industry will also include Recognized Certifications and Documented Training, allowing certifications/training to be considered as part of CPL

         

      • Credit-for-Military Service/Training will extend beyond the Joint Services Transcript (JST)

         

      • Adding additional accepted grading options

         

      • CS: how will the additional grading options affect students, since some transfer courses do not count towards a transfer major as a Pass/No Pass (P/NP) grade. 

         

      • CK: UCs have limitations on the type and amount of CPL that is accepted; noted CPL is being awarded for courses within student majors, keeping in mind of impact to financial aid and other student needs

         

    • Introducing Curriculum Committee Administrative Procedure (CCAP)

       

      • Mirrors the number for CCP

         

      • Outlines the CPL credit approval process 

         

    • Revision of CPL Administrative Procedure, reflects changes within LPC’s CCP/CCAP

       

    • CCP/CCAP – CPL will return to Curriculum Committee’s next First Reading

8. Reports

  • 8.1. Vice President's Report; absent
  • 8.2. Chair's Report - no report
  • 8.3. Articulation Officer's Report

     

    • Vice Chancellor of Education proposed partial certification, particularly for Ethnic Studies; expect additional pushback from the CSU systems 

       

       

    • Policy has been accepted requiring math departments to complete assessments in-person

       

    • CSU and UC have the ability to reject any course-to-course articulation for any/various reasons

       

    • Gender Studies ADT meeting has been postponed

       

    • Upcoming meeting/updates for Electrical Engineering and Nutrition/Dietetics ADTs

       

    • C-ID Chair is delaying Physics review; since curriculum varies between institutions, making CCN changes to align could/would affect a lot of current articulation agreements

9. Good of the Order

  • DN: Welcome John Ruys as new committee member representing BSSL

10. Adjournment at 4:32pm - Dana Nakase
