The College Curriculum Office supports the College's mission by facilitating the curriculum system; assisting in developing credit and non-credit curriculum, reviewing the curriculum and recommending changes; maintaining complete and accurate curriculum records, including the central repository of official curriculum documents; and publishing official curriculum information.  The office ensures the integrity and strategic positioning of the curriculum and promotes its development, documentation, report preparation, and approval.
