Fall 2025 Cycle

Fall 2025 - Year 3

The purpose of opening a second cycle in AY22/23 is to begin to support moving to a longer development process for bachelor’s degree proposals one time per academic year. This was a common theme in the survey of colleges regarding the AY 21/22 cycle process. The following proposal guidelines provide time for MCCCD to focus on the success of and learn from initial program offerings, help us maximize and stay flexible within available funding allocations, and stay aligned with the legislative intent/current political landscape and HLC accreditation guidance on adding new programs.

Key Components:

7 weeks proposal open
9 months of curriculum design and substantive change application development
8 months lead for registration for HLC approval/ED PPA process
During this year, colleges will be able to offer no more than five percent of their total number of degree and certificate offerings for baccalaureate degrees
