Proposed Amendment of 1D SBCCC 400.8 – Courses for Curriculum Programs

On April 4, 2025, the State Board of Community Colleges initiated the rulemaking process to amend 1D SBCCC 400.8 – Courses for Curriculum Programs.

For your convenience, a copy of the proposed rule, with the changes indicated, is attached to this memorandum.
