Course Catalog Cleanup and Course Sunset Process
Yuba College is working to clean up the course catalog to better serve students and to comply with recommendations from ACCJC and the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) to ensure students receive clear and accurate information about educational courses and programs.
The first step in this process is to remove courses from the catalog that the College no longer offers.
Why some courses may be deactivated
Several Yuba College courses have not been scheduled in the last three years. As part of ongoing catalog cleanup, these courses will be automatically deactivated unless a compelling case is made to keep them active.
Notification timeline
- Notifications about courses due to sunset will be sent to faculty and deans each year (either at the end of the academic year or at the beginning of the following academic year).
- In early to mid-September (at the beginning of the following academic year), the Curriculum Co-Chair will contact departments and disciplines with courses on the sunset list to determine next steps for each course.
If your department wants to keep a course on the sunset list
If a department or discipline would like to keep a course that appears on the sunset list, a representative will be asked to attend a Curriculum Committee meeting to discuss whether the course should remain active and what actions may be required.
Be prepared to discuss
- Why the course is needed for students and/or the program.
- Why the course has not been scheduled regularly.
- Whether the course needs revision to remain current and accurate.
- Whether the discipline dean plans to schedule the course more frequently.
