Curriculum Home

Welcome to the Fresno City College Curriculum Committee home page. This website is designed to offer you the information and contacts you need in order to successfully develop and/or revise curriculum. The Curriculum Committee is a committee of the Fresno City College Academic Senate. The Senate provides us with an Operating Agreement and we work with our own Bylaws.

The first step is to find out who your division representative is; that person can offer you guidance as you navigate the curriculum process. Click on the link to left titled Representatives. 

Next, you'll want to have access to an important resource for developing curriculum, the Curriculum Mini-Manual. This manual has information and directions for developing new courses, degree programs and certificates, for revising courses, degree programs and certificates, for making administrative changes, and for developing special studies courses. It has detailed directions for filling out all forms. Ask your representative to see the binder or download portions of the manual here (Overview, Summary of Process, Guidelines, Prerequisite Approval Process, Content Review Process, Levels of Scrutiny). In addition to campus resources, the Links to Resources page provides access to information for developing curriculum.

You may want to review the Board Approved Curriculum before revising your course. After the Office of Instruction receives your curriculum proposal, you can find out when it will be presented on Agendas and Minutes or in Pending Curriculum. All files are in Microsoft Word and/or PDF formats. 

Make a note of the deadlines for submitting business to the Curriculum Committee for the current semester. Click on the link to the left titled Deadlines and Calendar.

Finally, get copies of all the forms you need. Click on Forms.
