Purpose
North Florida College (NFC) course offerings published in the Catalog must correspond
with the course offerings in the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS), as well
as course information in Banner.
The course change procedure has been created to ensure all course additions, changes,
and deletions are reported correctly and timely to all departments involved. This
procedure is designed to serve as a guide to person(s) modifying, adding, and deleting
courses at North Florida College.
Procedure for Course Addition, Change, or Deletion
The Instructor, Department Chair, Program Director/Coordinator, Associate Dean, or
Vice President may initiate the request for a new course, course change, or course
termination. Use the “Course Change Checklist” as a cover sheet. The “Course Change Checklist” can be found under the Forms section of the Faculty Resources.
