Overview

Before starting this form visit the Columbia College Program Planning and Evaluation website to check the Review Cycle to see if you should be completing this form or the Comprehensive Program Planning and Evaluation form and look at previous reviews and updates in the archive.

The purpose of the Annual Program Update is to provide an update on the program and it's curriculum (if applicable), create new goals and provide updates on past goals, and request resources to support your program. You are expected to collaborate with others who may provide valuable insight about your program. For example, administration, part-time faculty, counselors, students, faculty in other disciplines, classified professionals, and community partners.

Instructions

At the bottom of this form there are two options available: Save and Submit. Use the Save option to save any progress on the form. You can use the "Get Draft Link" to send this link to other people for review or for you to review it later. Jotform does not allow multiple people to simultaneously work on a form - communicate with one another if you share the link with multiple people. If you are a reviewer only fill out areas that are designated "Feedback (Reviewer Only)" (The grey areas) and click Save. Reviewers never click submit. 

This form is meant to be used for all programs across the college meaning some questions might not be applicable for specific departments. Put "Not applicable" or "N/A" if this is the case.

The form is broken up into five sections:

1. General Information
2. Curriculum and Course Offerings
3. Program Goals
4. Resource Requests
5. Additonal Thoughts
6. Submission

Curriculum

To help answer the questions in this section, please visit the Course 5-Year Review Tracker, Award 5-Year Review Tracker, and the Course Sunset List on the left-hand side under Curriculum Resources on the Columbia College Curriculum Committee website. Additionally, you can visit the Columbia College Dashboard for information on courses, programs, and course-to-program mappings.

Developing New Curriculum

You should talk with your dean and the articulation officer before developing new curriculum. Here are some helpful resources:

• The Chancellor's Office Curriculum Information System (COCI) can be a useful tool for identifying courses and programs at other community colleges which could be useful for future curriculum planning. Click on 'Programs' or 'Courses' in the upper right part of the page.
• Transfer Model Curriculum Information can provide useful information on associate degrees for transfer.
• Common Course Numbering (CCN) has helpful information for developing course outline of record for courses that need common course numbering.

To help answer this question below, please see the Past Course Offerings Excel File.

Please set at least one measurable goal to work toward. Some examples of goals include reviewing, changing, or adding curriculum, increasing enrollment or modifying delivery modalities, establish an offering plan (two-year plan) for courses, increasing student learning and success, or improving student equity etc. Resource requests are not goals. Resources are used to achieve goals. 

The purpose of this section is to make resource requests for the program. If a resource request is related to one of your goals listed in the previous section, list the goal numbers.
