The launch of a new curriculum within the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) is a multifaceted process that requires detailed planning, coordination, and official approval. At the heart of this procedure is the VCCS Form 102 - AS&R(0107), known as the Request for New Curriculum. This document is essential for colleges to formally propose the introduction of a new curriculum. It covers various critical elements, such as the title of the curriculum, the proposed initiation date, and the program level, which could range from transfer degrees like AA, AS, and AA&S to occupational or technical qualifications like AAS, AAA, diplomas, and certificates. Additionally, the form requires information on funding needs, encompassing new facilities, equipment, and operational costs, alongside the necessity for hiring additional faculty. It also explores how the costs will be covered, whether through increased enrollment, program restructuring, or other means, and outlines enrollment projections for the first three years. Importantly, the form inquires about the availability of the program through distance education and its capacity for completion in that mode. Furthermore, it demands an estimate of annual job openings to assess the program's viability and relevance to the job market. Approval signatures from various college and VCCS officials are mandatory to proceed, making it evident that introducing a new curriculum is a deliberate process aimed at expanding educational opportunities while ensuring alignment with employment trends and institutional capacities.
