The Curriculum and Instruction Council (CIC), a committee of the
Cerro Coso Academic Senate, is the body responsible for reviewing and
acting upon all proposals to establish or revise educational courses
and programs. The CIC has responsibility for approval of all courses
to be offered by the college, implementation of state-mandated
curriculum regulations and policies, and approval of changes in degree
and certificate requirements and general education requirements for
the Associate in Arts degree, Associate in Science degree, the
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum, and the
California State University General Education Certification.
The CIC represents all Cerro Coso sites and academic staff through
representation by nine faculty members from different disciplines, as
prescribed by the Academic Senate constitution. One of the members is
the college Articulation Officer. The Vice-President of Student
Learning and the Office of Instruction Curriculum Assistant attend all
meetings and act as resources for the CIC. Faculty members and/or
administrators presenting proposals usually do so in person before the
CIC, with meetings open to all interested members of the college
community.
Meeting Dates
CIC meets twice a month on Fridays, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., in the
Administrative Conference Room (MB 214D). All CIC meetings are open to
the public. The CIC calendar is approved at the first CIC meeting of the
academic year and posted on the the college website and in the
college-wide calendar.
