Curriculum Committee
The Curriculum Committee, a sub-committee of the academic senate, has two primary purposes: to review and approve new curriculum including new courses, course modifications, new programs and program modifications, and to review and approve the curriculum approval process. The college curriculum committee is the sole approving body for Norco College only curriculum. For district shared curriculum it has one vote in the district curriculum committee. The curriculum committee is also responsible for keeping abreast with state mandated curriculum changes and reporting those changes to faculty. Committee members report on curriculum at their department meetings and solicit suggestions and recommendations when needed.
