2.Additional course information to be recorded in the SCNS inventory.

3.Supporting documentation for review by the Faculty Discipline Coordinator for possible reassignment of prefix and course

[NOTE: Major revisions in course content will require a new course number assignment. Please terminate the current course and add the new course.]

All information requested on this form is necessary for the efficient and timely maintenance of the SCNS inventory. Thus, all items on Part I must be completed before it is forwarded to the Florida Department of Education (DOE). An updated course syllabus must be attached in cases where course content has changed or a new prefix or number is requested.

Part I

The following instructions and definitions are provided to clarify items to be completed on the Course Termination or Change Transmittal form.

Instructional Unit or Department Name/SAMAS #/Department Code: Academic unit, SAMAS number and department code responsible for teaching the course. Use the complete name, not abbreviations or acronyms.

Current SCNS Course Identification:

Discipline (SMA): A three-digit code representing a broad Subject Matter Area. SCNS staff will enter this number if the appropriate number is not known.

Prefix: A three-letter code indicating placement of a course within the discipline.

Level: A one-digit code preceding the course number which indicates the level (e.g., freshman, sophomore, etc.) at which the course is to be taught. This number is to be recommended by the institution according to state and institutional policy.

Course Number: A three-digit code indicating the specific content of the course based on the SCNS taxonomy and course equivalency profiles.

Lab Code: This code is left blank if the course is a lecture course (has no laboratory component). The letter "C" may be used to indicate a combination of lecture and laboratory. An "L" indicates a laboratory course for which there may or may not be an associated lecture course. The "L" may also be used for a course which is laboratory only.

Contact Hours: "Base" contact hours are determined by dividing the total number of classroom meeting hours per semester by the number of weeks in the semester. For example:

8 (hours class meets per week) x 4 (number of weeks class meets) = 32 = 2 Base Contact Hours

16 (number of weeks in semester)

16

"Headcount" contact hours are determined by dividing the average number of hours the instructor meets with one student during the semester by 3 times the number of weeks in the semester. For example,

1 (average number hours per student) x 16 (number weeks in semester) = 16 = .33 Headcount Contact Hours

3 x 16 (number of weeks in semester)

48

Institution's Course Title: The title of the course as it currently appears in the catalog.
