- All curriculum is entered into Palomar’s Curriqunet META system.
- Once launched, watch your email or check back in to META for approver feedback. Be sure to respond to suggested changes.
- Curriculum has not completed the local approval process until it appears on an official Curriculum Committee agenda and is approved. It is then approved by Faculty Senate and the Governing Board before proceeding to the Chancellor’s Office.
- View Curriculum Committee agendas at https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/pccd/Board.nsf/. No login is needed.
