Regular Agenda
1011-020 General Education Alignment Recommendations................................... John Niss
Purpose: Alignment of all general education courses to ensure optimal transfer to UCF for
students. The current A.A. and A.S./A.A.S. general education lists will be combined so there will
be just one list for students, which is less confusing; Effective Date: Fall 2011 (201210).
John Niss told the CCC that the Gen Ed Alignment Recommendations were submitted to the
deans and other interested parties for their review. There are a few very minor issues to be
resolved, i.e., the addition of an either/or option for SPC 1608 and SPC 1017 (adding SPC 1017 to
General Education curriculum).
Communications deans and speech faculty expressed concern over the lack of a public speaking
component in SPC 1017. They requested an opportunity to re-work the course outlines so that
what will be done in the course will be reflected in the outline. For now, this option will not be
added, but will be a possibility for the following academic year.
John opened the floor for discussion, but the consensus was that the work done was thorough
and that the issues had been discussed and resolved. The recommendations were approved by
consensus.
John Niss took a moment to recognize Karen Borglum for the work that she did on this and the
huge effort involved to make the process for students easier and the Catalog and transfer
process cleaner.
1011-021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, A.A.S. Degree, CPM .................... Jim Inglis
Purpose: Clarification of program for student needs in registration; graduation
compliance/degree audit needs to be adjusted to match program requirements; Effective Date:
Fall 2011 (201210).
1011-022
Hospitality and Tourism Management, A.S. Degree
(Articulated AS to BS Career Path), CPM ................................................. Jim Inglis
Purpose: To add general education into program with removal of Freshman Composition II
from that list; students will choose one of four courses; Effective Date: Fall 2011 (201210).
*Note: Dan Dutkofski presented Proposals 1011-021 and 1011-022 for Jim Inglis. These
proposals were approved as submitted.
1011-023 LIT 2955
Holocaust Studies Trip Abroad, CCM............................ Richard Gair
Purpose: Right now LIT 2174 or 2174H Literature-Multimedia of the Holocaust is a prerequisite for this course which is a Holocaust Study Abroad trip. There are times that a student
has had extensive background studying this subject and I want the professor to simply have the
authority to waive the prerequisite. An excellent example is a student here actually went
through the State Teacher Holocaust Training Program at FSU with me. He was a film major
and as part of that program was making a documentary on the Holocaust. The one week of
intense training was not acceptable for me to take him on the trip even though I was able to
vouch for his attendance with me. I think the Professor should have been able to waive LIT
2174/H; Revised Prerequisites: LIT 2174 or LIT 2174H. This should be at the discretion of the
professor (previously, LIT 2174 or LIT 2174H); Effective Date: Fall 2011 (201210).
Proposal 1011-023 was approved with the following revision to the wording of the Revised
Prerequisites: LIT 2174 or LIT 2174H or department approval.

The order of presentation of the following two proposals, 1011-024 and 1011-025 was reversed.
Joe Bivins presented for Robert Gessner, who was unable to attend the meeting due to his
classroom schedule.
1011-025 BSC 2093C
Human Anatomy & Physiology I, CCM ............................ Lynn Dorn
Purpose: To change prerequisites and the Catalog description; Revised Prerequisites:
Satisfactory completion of all mandated courses in reading, mathematics, English and EAP; and
a minimum grade of C in Honors high school biology or Advanced Placement biology AND
Honors high school chemistry or Advanced Placement Chemistry; or BSC 1010C (previously:
Satisfactory completion of all mandated courses in reading, mathematics, English and EAP and
minimum grade of C in: one year each of high school science laboratory courses in either
biology and chemistry or in anatomy and physiology and chemistry or BSC 1005 and BSC 1005L
or BSC 1005C or BSC 1010C or MCB 2010C); Revised Catalog Course Description: Tissues,
structure and function of integumentary, skeletal, muscular, endocrine and nervous systems,
and organs of special sense. Lab exercises emphasize anatomic and physiologic principles
associated with classroom work. (Special Fee: $35.00); Effective Date: Fall 2011 (201210).
Several questions arose due to the revision of the prerequisites. One question that was asked
was if students who complete high school AP courses that serve as a prerequisite will also need
to pass the AP test. The answer was no; the students need to complete the courses with a
minimum grade of “C,” but do not need to show that they have passed the AP test.
Another question was with regard to Banner coding in order to be able to pick up Honors and AP
courses from high school transcripts. Edwin said that they will address this issue and that codes
will be created.
With these questions answered, Proposal 1011-025 was approved as submitted.
1011-024 MCB 2010C Microbiology, CCM ................................................. Robert Gessner
Purpose: Prerequisites were changed FROM: Satisfactory completion of all mandated courses
in reading, mathematics, English, and English for Academic Purposes and minimum grade of C
in: BSC 1005 and BSC 1005L or BSC 1005C or BSC 1010C or BSC 2093C TO: BSC 1010C or higher
or BSC 2093C w/grade of "C" or higher; Revised Prerequisites: BSC 1010C or higher; or BSC
2093C, with a grade of C or higher; Effective Date: Fall 2011 (201210).
Proposal 1011-024 was approved with the following editorial re-wording of the prerequisites:
Minimum grade of “C” in BSC 1010C or BSC 2093C.

Discussion Items
PERT Implementation – Cynthia Cerrato will give a brief overview of the PERT Transition Plan
and other important, related information.
PERT implementation will be effective on February 14, 2011, when PERT will initially replace the
CPT in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. Not all academic areas are ready to
transition at this time, but the goal is to have everything transitioned over by the end of the
2011 calendar year, including EAP. EAP and math faculty are working to establish placement
systems that will work for students.
For now, all students will be tested; if a student needs a specialized test, Valencia will continue
to use tests that were previously used.
Existing CPT scores can be used for two years; and it was noted that the online Catalog needs to
reflect information pertaining to PERT by the February 14 implementation date.
Page 6
Cynthia noted that previously colleges had some flexibility in how tests were scored; however,
with PERT, the State is establishing the scoring system and there is no flexibility to make
changes within individual colleges.

Information Items
Field Reviews - The Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) Computer Science and
Computing Technologies (CSCT) Faculty Discipline Subcommittee on Computer Programming
(COP) met on May 13th and 14th, 2010, for the purpose of realigning courses for more
seamless transfer. The following courses will undergo changes, as follows, effective August 1,
2011.
COP 1006, Introduction to Programming Concepts, will become COP 1000
COP 2802, Java Language for Programmers, will be discontinued
These changes have been reviewed and approved by the department at Valencia.
Colin noted that COP 1006 is listed many times throughout the Catalog, so care must be taken
to be sure that the change is made in each place that the course is listed.
The next meeting of the College Curriculum Committee is scheduled for February 9, 2011, and will
be held on the East Campus, Room 3-113. Deadline for submission of materials for the February
CATALOG DEADLINE agenda is January 26, 2011. Due to the volume of proposals, we request that
this deadline be strictly adhered to.
