Instructional Program Review

1. Instructional Program Review at San Joaquin Delta College has two primary purposes:
   1. To maintain, improve, and promote the quality of instruction at San Joaquin Delta College; and,
   2. To utilize the institution's resources effectively and efficiently.
2. For purposes of this process, the term "program" is broadly defined to be a certificate, or associate degree program(s) or related set of courses.
3. Each instructional program will complete a program review at least once each six years. By July 1 of each academic year, the Division Dean, shall notify the Assistant Superintendent/Vice President of the programs to be reviewed during the academic year.
4. Every vocational or occupational training program offered by the College shall be reviewed every two years by the governing Board of the District to assure that each program, as demonstrated by the California Occupational Information System, including the State-Local Cooperative Labor Market Information Program established in Section 10533 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, or if this program is not available in the labor market area, or other available sources of labor market information, does all of the following:
   1. Meets a documented labor market demand;
   2. Does not represent unnecessary duplication of other manpower training programs in the area;
   3. Is the demonstrated effectiveness as measured by the employment or completion of its students. Instructional programs, which did not fulfill the full intent of the review, may be subject to additional review during the scheduled cycle. Any program commenced subsequent to July 28, 1983 that does not meet the requirements of this subsection and the standards promulgated by the governing Board shall be terminated within one year.
