NEW DEADLINES - FALL

All new courses and course modifications will have Fall effective dates. If you wish to offer a course beginning in a Spring term it must be effective the Fall prior.

We are currently accepting modifications and proposals effective Fall 2010. If you wish to offer a course beginning Spring 2011 the changes will need to be in effect as of Fall 2010. This will ensure that our annual catalog is accurate.

CURRICUNET

Mendocino College is currently implementing CurricUnet, a web-based curriculum management system. Training for faculty will occur on October 13-14, 2009. Following this training all curriculum proposals and modifications will be submitted via CurricUnet. More information will be provided soon about the CurricUnet training.
