WCE Course Maintenance Phase III

The annual comprehensive review of the Workforce Continuing Education courses in the Combined Course Library has been completed. This memo presents the next phase of course changes. The driver for these changes was to better align our Instructional Program Areas, Course Prefixes/Subjects, and Course IDs with relevant workforce initiatives. These changes help facilitate the review of WCE courses for awarding Curriculum Credit for Prior Learning.

There were five notable changes:

1. The status of 44 existing courses was changed to Obsolete due to no usage in the last 3 years.
2. There were 25 existing Course IDs that were mapped to new Course IDs and Program Area Codes.
3. There were 20 existing Course IDs that were moved to existing Course IDs and Program Area Codes.
4. There were 9 existing Course IDs that were moved to a new Program Area Code.
5. Due to changes to the Program Area Codes of several courses, the codes for their credentials had to be updated.

See the attached document for the course updates and actions needed for colleges to implement the changes locally. Please share this information widely with the appropriate staff at your college. If you have questions, email the Workforce and Continuing Education Programs at WCERequests@nccommunitycolleges.edu.
