Master Course Approval Process
Central Texas College Distance Education
-
After a master course has been developed and has gone through the four-step QA process, the
appropriate Department Chair is sent a Department Chair Course Approval Statement via Etrieve.
NOTE: The course development/revision process, QA, and Department Chair approval must be completed at
least 30 days prior to course start date to allow for course copying and faculty review.
- The Department Chair has two weeks (ten business days) to complete and submit the form to DEET.
If the form is not submitted within the deadline, DEET will send a reminder to the Department Chair
and copy the appropriate Dean. The Dean will communicate with the Department Chair to identify issues
and concerns and reach a resolution and set a new deadline.
- If the Department Chair Course Approval form is submitted with improvements listed, these will be addressed
through collaboration between DEET staff and the Content Reviewer, and the course will be re-evaluated
by the Department Chair.
- Step 3 will be repeated until the Department Chair approves the course.
-
Failure to reach agreement will result in a meeting that includes the appropriate Dean,
the Director of Instructional Development, the Department Chair, and any other appropriate supervisor.
-
When the Department Chair approval is obtained, the master course will be used for copying.
