Pilot Project Procedures and Guidelines
Pilot projects are defined as projects where changes are proposed that affect changes in curriculum (courses and programs), textbooks and tests for diagnostic purposes.
The Pilot Project Form is to be used for faculty or staff who wish to pilot a project involving changes in curriculum (courses and programs), textbooks and tests for diagnostic purposes.
The pilot projects’ expected outcomes should reflect the College’s mission and strategic plan, which can be viewed at www.palmbeachstate.edu/ire/StrategicPlanning/default.aspx.
The maximum duration of a pilot project is one academic year, with the opportunity to continue for an additional year if approved by the VPAA.
The person proposing the pilot project submits the completed form to their Academic Dean, to be reviewed by the Deans’ Council.
The Deans’ Council will make a recommendation on approving/not approving to the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
The VPAA notifies the campus dean on the final decision. The campus dean will notify the person proposing the pilot project as to the approval status.
If approved, the campus academic dean provides oversight of the pilot project.
