Curriculum Committee

• Jan–Feb 2026: Coursedog pulls data; instruction teams validate migrated curriculum. eLumen updates restricted. Spring 2026 approvals will require Curriculum Chair review and be manually transferred by Instruction Office staff.
• Summer 2026: Develop training materials, offer early training, and archive/delete incomplete eLumen items.
• Fall 2026: Coursedog goes live.

• Legislative mandates: Common Course Numbering Phase 2B courses, Cal-GETC updates
• Preventing student impact: Needed to avoid delays in completion, articulation issues, or certification problems
• Sunset List updates for the 2025–26 cycle
• Revisions that improve data accuracy or Coursedog functionality

Important Meeting Dates and Deadlines

Curriculum Agenda Prioritization Policy
The Curriculum Committee Chair will prioritize and schedule courses and programs on the agenda based on mandates, external approval deadlines, and other pertinent institutional needs. To be considered for the agenda, all courses and programs must be submitted by the published deadlines. This ensures timely review and alignment with accreditation and regulatory requirements. Please Note: eLumen is migrating to a new system called Coursedog. For this reason, during the spring semester eLumen is shutdown for all faculty authors to make revisions and/or adoptions/inactivations. We hope to have the new system up and running by June 2026. Please contact Heather Townsend via email if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
