Time Topic Discussion & Documents Action/Responsible Party 9:00 – 9:10 AM Welcome, Introductions and Overview of the Day Mike Anderson (meeting will start Beth Lattone promptly at 9:00) 9:10 – 9:40 AM  CIP & Program Realignment Project Danen Jobe Danen J explained how discipline input is encouraged. Mike A asked if block submissions are still a possibility and Danen confirmed that is still the plan. 9:40 – 10:00 AM  DwDs & STAAs Danen Jobe & Denise Danen J explained how  Dev Ed Mosher Computer Science, Dance,  Misc. Committee Updates Journalism, and Public Health  CCNS Replacement and changeover DwDs were able to pass with Course Numbering minimum discussion. Danen described how some public relations-type communication regarding DwDs and STAAs

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU has been delayed due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Danen, Mike A, and Clint R discussed some DwD scenarios and implications.

Danen said the Dana Center MAT meeting may be re- scheduled for 2:2.

Denise M described how versioning functionality was a priority when selecting a new curriculum management software for CCNS. Versioning allows changes, such as a course name change, to occur without needing to switch to a new course number. Denise explained how versioning makes it easier to stick with a 3- number system for course numbering, so we may not need to switch to a 4-number system. Danen explained how a shift to a 4-number system may cause significant challenges on the e-learning and D2L side.

Denise said fall 2021 is the soft roll-out date for Courseleaf – this could allow

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU for certain changes to be made during summer 2021, with potential faculty training occurring during October 2021. 10:00 – 10:10 AM  Legislative Updates Landon Pirius & Landon P confirmed the state Danen Jobe legislative session is currently suspended. While they hope to reconvene in May, there is obviously a lot of uncertainty regarding that timeline.

While two previously discussed bills were passed (One bill addresses a property issue for CNCC. The other bill grants in-state tuition to military veterans and dependents), the passed bills won’t go into effect until 90 days after the end of the legislative session. With the suspended session, this means the in-state tuition for military veterans and dependents likely won’t go into effect until spring 2021, not fall 2020.

Landon discussed budget issues and scenarios related to COVID-19. He also described how there seems to be a public misperception about community colleges simply being closed during the

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU pandemic, despite schools still operating - using remote instruction and remote work. He explained how a similar misperception is also occurring in Virginia. As a result, there will be a system- led marketing campaign with college-specific branding to remind the public that CCCS schools are still helping students and doing important work.

10:10 – 10:30 AM  S/U Grading Schema Update Landon Pirius & Danen Landon P confirmed students Jobe – Michael Schulman will have the option to receive Karla Nash Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading for the current term.

There are some programs where S/U will be problematic – Nursing was mentioned as an example. Students need to make informed decisions and consult with an academic advisor.

Landon confirmed an S or U grade does not count in GPA calculation but both count towards completion.

A “C” or higher is equivalent to an “S.” A “D” or lower is equivalent to a “U.”

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU Timeframe for a request to be submitted by a student is within 10 business days of the completion of the term.

Landon explained how CCCS S/U policy is comparable to the policy being implemented by Colorado 4-year schools. 10:30 – 11:00 AM  SFCC Charter Mike Anderson & Danen Tammi S-D and Denise M Jobe provided updates from the SFCC Charter Task Force. As a group, we reviewed a SharePoint Word file named “Charter discussion v3 4-01- 20” that Denise shared via sharing her screen on WebEx. Denise said she can share this document with the entire SFCC group. A significant amount of discussion was facilitated. The task force’s next meeting is next week.

11:00 – 11:10 AM  GE Council Report (attach document?) Carol Kuper Carol K confirmed most updates were covered by Danen J earlier in the meeting. She added that CSU Global is seeking sign-on for the STAA for BUS & CRJ. Carol confirmed their next meeting is next Monday. 11:10 – 11:15 AM  Business Meeting – March Minutes Mike Anderson Minutes were approved.
