Proposed Amendment of 1D SBCCC 400.6 – Curriculum Program Approvals and Terminations

On April 4, 2025, the State Board of Community Colleges initiated the rulemaking process to amend 1D SBCCC 400.6 – Curriculum Program Approvals and Terminations. The proposed amendment would remove the accountability clause and clarify the termination of curriculum programs. The amendment would also formalize the process for Programs and Data departments at the System Office to communicate low and no enrollment programs to help the community colleges make local decisions about the viability of the program. The proposed amendment is published on the NC Community College System’s website, Numbered Memos – NCCCS (nccommunitycolleges.edu). For your convenience, a copy of the proposed rule, with the changes indicated, is attached to this memorandum. Strikethroughs indicate deletions of existing language and underlines indicate additions of language.

Any member of the public has the right to submit written comments on the proposed rule. Please note that any person who submits public comments on behalf of their community college should comply with their college’s local process for submitting comments on a proposed rule. Written comments on the rule must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 8, 2025. Any member of the public has the right to request a hearing on the proposed rule. Requests for a hearing must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 23, 2025.

Written comments and requests for hearing shall be directed to the following address: Jonnell Carpenter, 5001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-5001 or by email to publiccomments@nccommunitycolleges.edu. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
