PROGRAM DISCONTINUANCE 6105

POLICY:

Solano Community College shall establish procedures for the establishment, modification, continuance or discontinuance of courses or program. The institution’s degree programs are congruent with its mission, are based on recognized higher education fields of study, are of sufficient content and length, are conducted at levels of quality and rigor appropriate to the degrees offered, and culminate in identified student outcomes.

Any approved procedures shall take into account the following issues: effects on students; college curriculum balance; educational and budget planning, including, but not limited to, the Education Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan, and the goals and objectives of the affected department; other relevant strategic planning documents; regional economics and training issues; and collective bargaining agreements.

The existence of these procedures should not be construed as an inducement to look for programs to discontinue or as a threat to avoid honest participation in an academic process such as Academic Program Review.
