General DE Addendum Form

The DE Addendum Process: 

  1. Division Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) Representative documents each Division Course Outline of Record (COR) that is approved by C&I.
  2. Division C&I Rep and/or the DEC contacts the Division Committee on Distance Education (CoDE) Rep with approved COR information and requests that the Distance Education (DE) Addendum Form for anytime DE scheduling, (or the DISTANCE EDUCATION (DE) ADDENDUM FORM: EMERGENCY DECLARATION ONLY for scheduling during an emergency only [only where appropriate]) be filled out and submitted for approval from the DE Addendum Subcommittee or CoDE.
  3. CoDE Representatives will contact instructors of record of the approved COR and assist the faculty member to fill out the Individual DE Addendum Form accurately.
  4. The DE Coordinator will receive the submitted DE Addendum Form, review it for accuracy, and forward it to the DE Addendum Subcommittee for review and approval (winter/summer) or for recommended approval from CoDE (spring/fall).
    1. Note: It is recommended that the CoDE Representative review all DE Addendum Forms before they are submitted to the DE Addenda Subcommittee in order to increase consistency and accuracy and to decrease the number of DE Addenda that are returned to faculty for revision.
