The following menu provides an overview of some of the aspects the Technical Review members consider when reviewing course outlines. Faculty members are encouraged to use this as a quick reference when developing or modifying course outlines.

A. CurricUNET maintains historical records of current and all previous versions of a course outline. Some or all of these are visible when you search for a course. One reason for this is that if a student takes a course at VC and then tries to transfer it elsewhere (e.g., to a four-year university) some years later, the university may request a copy of the outline as it read at the time the student took the course (not the current outline). The student may have to retake the course if we cannot supply the requested information, so it is essential that we maintain records of older outlines.
A. "Update" is a minor modification (or set of modifications) that does not change any of the course's catalog or articulation information; for example, changing the textbook. "Revision" is a modification that changes one or more items in the catalog OR has the potential to affect a course's articulation. If you are changing any of the following items, then the course is definitely a Revision. If not, then the course is probably an Update.
You must sign in to your account with a user name and password; this protects our courses from modifications being proposed by the general public. However, CurricUNET is not as secure as commercial sites such as your bank. For this reason, it is recommended that you not use the same password as you do for other secure sites (particularly including your banking sites), because several people (e.g., Michael Bowen, Linda Resendiz, Olivia Long, and employees of the vendor) have direct access to the CurricUNET user/password database.
Course and program changes are requested through CurricUNET or using an EZ form, depending on the type of change requested. Visit the Academic Planning webpage to find links to various forms, instructions, and training.
