CURRICULUM APPROVAL AND REVISION

The Policy

Curriculum Review is an on-going process undertaken periodically to ensure the delivery of relevant and current topics and teaching methods towards achieving the ADUC’s institutional learning outcomes. Departments may propose to change – as a result of curriculum review – the curriculum/syllabus/courses by accomplishing the prescribed forms/templates – detailing the justification for such changes, and subject to the Curriculum Committee’s approval. Only after all necessary approvals have been acquired, the proposed change(s) in curriculum/syllabus/courses can be implemented.

This policy is designed to ensure that the ADUC curriculum remains current and relevant through a systematic review and development process that considers the achievement of Course Learning Outcomes.

Curriculum review shall be triggered by the instructor review report and the respective faculty or dean/chair recommendation.

The Curriculum Change Matrix shall serve as a reference point for the approval process.
