Narrative:

Bossier Parish Community College is in compliance with this comprehensive standard because the College faculty and administration participate in a formal process of approval through a standing College-wide Curriculum Committee composed of faculty members as outlined in the Academic Affairs Policies and Procedures Manual. This policy on curriculum is institution wide and is coordinated between faculty and administration. The policy recognizes the roles of the community, faculty, administration, students, and the governing board. Curricular change is made only after careful review by faculty, administration, the governing board, and other appropriate state agencies. Individual faculty members, Division Chairs, groups of faculty, students, and interested persons from public entities offer ideas for courses and programs for consideration. Curricular proposals, formal and informal, are studied by the Curriculum Committee (as representatives of the faculty), Division Chairs, and the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs; a determination is made as to whether those proposals complement the overall programs of the College and can provide education for the College's constituency. Modifications to curricula, deletions, or additions to programs are approved by the academic division chairs and the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs before submission to the Curriculum Committee. Changes involving addition or deletion of programs require approval by the Louisiana Community & Technical College Board of Supervisors Policy # 1.024 and by the Louisiana Board of Regents Policy 2.01.
