College Process Manual
Go directly to Bylaws | Forms | Promotion and Tenure Materials | Student Advising Materials
Introduction
The intent of this process manual is to provide information on how the college pursues continuous improvement. In this light, it can serve as a guide. It is NOT intended to serve as a group of rules and regulations that are necessarily permanent and unchangeable.
Each process has a review cycle and most of the cycles are annual. If the situation warrants a change, then a change will be addressed.
Some of the processes may simply reflect the college’s posture or state a policy.
The term “process” is used to cover all variations.
Notes concerning possible future reviews and/or actions were compiled prior to the Fall 2009 overhaul of the online manual. As a result, some processes may have a note proposing a future recommended action. For example: NOTE: Recommend review
