The timeframe for the DEMC FTEF allocation process is early November, however the college must move forward to meet our scheduling deadlines. In this situation, the CEMC has adopted the current FTEF allocation of 406.7, which is based on actual scheduled courses for 2010-2011. This FTEF total represents the cuts that were made from discipline plans last year through the courses that were cut recently from the spring schedule. Since the Deans will be monitoring their FTEF expenditure very carefully, it is critical that you work with them to develop workable and approved plans at the Deans/Vice Presidents level before they are submitted and discussed at the CEMC. Because we are having to work with a reduced amount of FTEF, the Deans may offer an initial allocation (or guidance of some sort) to the disciplines. Also, because next years discipline plans may not be a simple rollover or reflect the moderate growth from previous years, you should provide a written narrative that explains the rationale behind your discipline plans if you have changed. So now the question, What does this mean for my discipline? The State Chancellors Office has directed the colleges to support the mission of transfer, career technology and basic skills in terms of access for students (this is the same as last year). Activity and personal enrichment courses are not considered on the State Chancellors Office directive to be a primary focus in this fiscal downturn. The CEMC encourages all faculty to look at offering those courses that have primacy in either a degree pattern, a certificate or are necessary general education courses for transfer. As a result the CEMC would ask that you schedule with the following items in mind: Courses that fulfill program need but are not highly enrolled should be offered with justification as part of the process. Efficiency has increased due to associated budget conditions, and as we reduce sections this will most likely continue. The Office of Academic Services will continue to try to cancel courses with very low enrollments unless they are justified as part of a degree, transfer, career tech or basic skills need. Work with your dean on a seamless transition of primary courses that fit the two-year educational plan of students so that we can continue to provide both access and completion wherever possible. For those disciplines that offer large lecture sections the CEMC encourages you to review your large lecture data. For instance, has the large lecture census data provided for more students than two sections would have? Also, if you want to schedule large lectures for next year, it is essential that you budget the exact, correct FTEF for them in your discipline plans. Any large lecture requests that come to the Office of Academic Services that have higher enrollment caps than were provided for in the discipline plans will not be considered. The CEMC is providing a simplified electronic discipline plan format for you this year. The form is a combination of the more detailed format that has been used for the past two years and the original form that was used in previous years. We believe that this new form will enhance the facultys ability to review and revise their plans and save time. You will need to use one form for each term; so if you plan on offering classes in fall, spring, and summer, you will need to submit three different forms to your Dean. In the new form, the columns you need to fill in are highlighted in yellow. The white columns are calculated columns based on the information you have placed in the yellow columns. The new form will have the following columns which you will need to fill in. Subject: Example Geography, History, Math, etc. Courses / Crosslisted courses. Each course number (example ECON 1) only needs to be listed once, not the total number of sections. In other words, if we are offering three sections of ECON 1, you only have to list that course once, not three times (as we did last year). The only exception is if you are doing a large lecture course section, then you will need to list the large lecture course in a separate line due to the CAH difference. Crosslisted classes (i.e., crosslisted grouping) can be listed one time at the CAH value of the primary (loaded) course reflected in the plan. Set cap per section This is the max capacity that is set in Banner. This is the same as you have done in the past. Capacity per section (estimated) This is how many people you expect to have in the class. If you have multiple sections where you expect different number of students, add up all the numbers expected for all the classes and divide by the number of sections to get an average number. For the most part, most of classes are expected to be full but obviously, other classes will never hit the fill rate. Planned sections This is the number of sections your discipline is offering for the term. Weekly contact hours per section CAH per section same as you have done in the past These are the only sections you need to fill in. Discipline plans do not include scheduling rooms or times; the Office of Academic Services would like you to be aware that there are many disciplines that would like prime time for all of their sections. As a result, there have been several situations in which the room did not meet the needs of the students nor the curriculum. Since this problem needs to be addressed, the Office of Academic Services will be looking very carefully at where and when your courses could be offered in order to provide for effective teaching. Once the discipline plans are completed, Dr. Lusters office will send out a list of room scheduling principles for faculty. If any of you need a copy of the discipline plans from last year, please email me with the specifics of which subjects / terms you need, and I will forward those to you. In addition, the CEMC is here to help you in any way possible; please do not hesitate to contact any committee member for data or assistance we can provide as discipline plans are developed. This year the CEMC members are Guy Lease, Pamela Luster, Bob Kratochvil, Sylvia Rodriguez, Kimberly Tomlinson, Amber Machamer, Philip Manwell, Neal Ely, Janice Noble, Jeff Baker, Dyan Miller, Thomas Orf, Kevin Ankoviak, Christina Lee, and Lisa Weaver. We realize that it is extremely difficult to be making decisions on meeting the needs of our students with less resources, so please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Due Dates: The discipline plans are due to your Deans by October 29. Do not send the plan to me, just to your respective Dean. The CEMC will be meeting in November to approve the plans. I have attached two items: The first is a blank discipline plan to be filled in. You will need to send to the Dean three plans 1) Fall; 2) Spring; and 3) Summer (if applicable). In addition, I have attached an example from my own discipline, Geography, for fall semester which includes a large lecture course and a crosslisted course. I hope this will be helpful.
