What is this process?

• It is a process by which departments can
  determine whether or not they need to delete,
  add, or confirm a prerequisite.
• The process provides guidelines/questions
  departments can use to evalute their
  prerequisites to determine if they are need to
  have vs. nice to have.

4
Why is this process needed?

• Because of GRCCs prerequisite history, our
  catalogs, CARPs, and other public documents do
  not accurately reflect what the College is now
  doing with prereqs.
• We need to be clear for our students and for
  ourselves which prerequisites are enforced. We
  need to be clear about what skills/knowledge is
  recommended and what is required.

5
The Proposed Process

• Is similar to the process that is followed for
  minor changes in CARPs.
• Timeline for changes this semester before
  Catalog due date (Dec. 1).
• Goal accurate prerequisite information in
  Catalog and CARPs for 08-09.
• Changes in prereqs will be implemented once a
  year in fall semester.
