CCCCO ZTC Pathway Grants (2023 – 2026)

We have been accepted to participate in the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Zero Textbook Cost degree and certificate grant program. The purpose of these grants is to convert entire degree and certificate pathways to ZTC, with implementation beginning Fall 2026. This will be our largest ZTC grant to date. Funding from this grant will support the creation of at minimum four degree and certificate pathways (currently underway and may be revised upwards).

CALM Implementation Grant #3 (2020)

This Implementation Grant cohort was run Spring/Summer 2020 to create OER materials for courses. These materials were required to be published to a repository, available for all to use in their course (Palomar College and beyond). There were many more applicants than available funding for this cohort. Due to this, the CALM Committee decided to combine grant proposals and offer faculty teams $7000 for a completed pair of course content creations.

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a campus-wide closure and rapid online transition during this cohort, resulting in an extension of implementation through Fall 2020/Spring 2021.

The following is a list of faculty, courses, and links to created materials included in this cohort.
