Course Description. The Chief Academic Officer of any participating community college or university may request that a course be removed from the CAA transfer list. Both a community college and a university must partner to request the addition of a course to the transfer list. The university endorsement signifies that the university accepts the course and believes the course should be recommended for statewide consideration. Name of the Community College: Name of UNC Senior Institution: would like for the above course to be added to the CAA transfer course list with a status of: Pre-Major/Elective General Education or UGETC for the following discipline: Communications Humanities/Fine Arts Math Social/Behavioral Science Science would like for the above course to be deleted from the CAA transfer course list Please provide rationale for the course addition or deletion: (additional page may be utilized) Signature of Chief Academic Officer NCCCS College Date Signature of Chief Academic Officer UNC Senior Institution Date Please submit the completed and signed request to all of the following three representatives: Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Ed.D. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, M.D. Senior Vice President, Programs Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Academic and Student Services Academic Affairs North Carolina Community College System UNC-General Administration 5016 Mail Service Center Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxx 0000 Xxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Director for Student Development and Association of Student Governments Advisor UNC General Administration X.X. Xxx 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000 Upon receipt of the form, either Vice President may indicate endorsement of the request and send the request to the Transfer Advisory Committee for action a minimum of thirty days prior to the TAC meeting. The NC Community College System Office will solicit a response from all community colleges approved to offer the course and include the results of the vote along with their endorsement. The CAO at UNC may seek input from its respective campuses as deemed appropriate. Please Note: New, proposed courses that are not currently in the NC Community College Combined Course Library must first be submitted to the NCCCS Curriculum Review Committee, by a community college, accompanied by a request for addition to the Combined Course Library. Please see Section 15 of the Curriculum Procedures Reference Manual at: xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/academic- programs/curriculum-procedures-reference-manual-...
