Section J – International Course Approval
Process for Curriculum Approval – Courses offered through International Courses
- Any credit, CCP or CCE course may be offered as international travel.
- At least one semester before the proposed international course is scheduled, the curriculum plan must be submitted to the Dean of Curriculum using the Curriculum Plan Form.
- The Dean of Curriculum will review; if approved, the form is returned to the proposer and the process may move forward as set forth in the International Course manual (see step 6).
- If not approved, the form will be returned for revision/clarification to the proposer by the Dean of Curriculum.
- If a course has not received prior approval by the DBOT to be offered as an international course, the course is then processed through the Curriculum Committee. (www.palmbeachstate.edu/curriculum-development/) and then presented to the District Board of Trustees for approval by the VPAA.
- Once the curriculum process has completed and DBOT approved (if applicable), the course is then processed through the International Course Offering procedures as administrated by the VPAA.
