Programs: Occupational Program Deletion
The Occupational Program Deletion proposal is developed by the initiating college and is used to delete programs.
Note: The last year/term placed on the proposal means the last term the program can be offered. Example: if the last year/term on the proposal is 20082, the program will be good through this term and not available after year 2008, Spring semester(2=spring).
The deletion of a college specific program may also include the deletion of prefixed courses unique to the program. Occupational programs can be deleted at any time but the colleges give consideration to students who may be in the process of completing the existing program requirements.

Process for Deleting Programs (Back to Top)
The submission of the Occupational Program Deletion proposal by the initiating college is developed per the steps defined on the Development of an Occupational Program Deletion Proposal. Program deletions are placed on the District Curriculum Committee agenda as Action Items.
A college initiating a program deletion would consider the impact on students currently within the program and define an appropriate effective last year/term for the program to be offered.
Development of an Occupational Program Deletion Proposal (Back to Top)
The following steps must be followed by college curriculum personnel in completing an Occupational Program Deletion proposal:
On the first page of the proposal form:
Identify the award type (AAS, CCL) for the program.
Identify the current effective first year/term of the program and enter the last year/term for the program. It should be noted that the last year/term proposed by the initiating college signals the closure of the program and completion of all college processes to ensure that students will not be negatively affected by the program deletion.
MCCD Terms are as follows: Fall=6, Spring=2, Firstsummer session=4, Second summer session=5. Examples of beginning or first year/term to be entered on the proposal are: 20076 to indicate fall 2007 or 20082 to indicate spring 2008.
Provide the Overall G.P.A. for the program.
Provide the full title for the program.
Identify the initiating college. The standard acronyms used in identifying the colleges are as follows:
| CGCC (Chandler Gilbert Community College | PC (Phoenix College) |
| EMCC (Estrella Mountain Community College) | PVCC (Paradise Valley Community College) |
| GCC (Glendale Community College) | RSC (Rio Salado College) |
| GWCC (GateWay Community College) | SCC (Scottsdale Community College) |
| MCC (Mesa Community College) | SMCC (South Mountain Community College) |
Identify the Program Availability status of the current program. Place an X in the appropriate area. If multiple colleges share the program, provide the college acronyms of the colleges currently sharing the program in the Participating Colleges area.Special Note: All of the above entries are treated as a running header on the program proposal and facilitates the identification of the proposal pages for processing purposes.
Provide the total credits for the program.
Provide the major code for the program.
Type the name of the faculty initiator.
Provide the CIPS Code.
Type the name of the Instructional Council(s) receiving the proposal. Provide the numeric code for the Instructional Council in parenthesis after the name of the Instructional Council. This code is found on the Instructional Council Membership List distributed by the MCCCD University & College Relations Office. It is referred to as the Instructional Council Code. Occupational Program Deletion proposals are sent to Instructional Councils as informational items.
Every effort should be made to ensure stability with regard to instructional council assignment to
program. In effect, programs should not be tentatively assigned to councils with the anticipation of
introducing change to this relationship once the program is approved. This allows for minimized impact
and delay of programs entered in the new student systems.
Provide the Development Date (the date the proposal was finalized by the initiating college).
Enter the District Curriculum Committee Online Agenda Dates and the MCCCD Governing Board
agenda date. These dates can be found on the Curriculum Processing Calendar on the MCCCD Curriculum Office website for the respective months.

On the first page of the proposal, provide a Maintenance Date if the proposal was revised after it was finalized. Note: the Maintenance Date will be revised/updated by the college and the District Center for Curriculum and Transfer Articulation (CCTA) staff as needed if the proposal is modified anytime after the initial submission of the proposal to the Center.
Provide the name of the Vice President of Academic Affairs who has given approval to release the proposal to the District CCTA. Comments from the Vice President of Academic Affairs may be provided such as, "Approved for processing to the MCCCD Center for Curriculum and Transfer Articulation." This entry will allow the District CCTA to begin the review and approval processes in preparation for placement of the proposal on the different agendas at District level.
Provide a brief rationale for deleting the program and any additional information to help clarify the development of the proposal and facilitate the approval process.
