CCOG - Course Content and Outcomes Guide

What is the intent of the CCOG?

The CCOG is a document that is meant primarily as a guide for the faculty – so that anyone teaching the course can clearly see what the SAC intends in terms of both student learning outcomes and content. If the SAC feels that certain activities or design elements are critical,  they can include them in this document.   The CCOG becomes a directive to instructors, so that they know what content/outcomes are expected, and also suggesting (directly or by omission) what aspects are left to the faculty member’s discretion.   Although meant as a guide for faculty, the CCOGs are public, and are often used by students or by colleagues inside or outside the college.

This document expresses all of the elements that are deemed critical to “identity” of the course. Some of these elements are “Banner data”  - the course number, contact hours (lec, lec-lab, lab, coop), title (and title for transcript), description and prerequisites. Some of the elements require college approval (all of the above, plus outcomes and related instruction). The other elements are under SAC authority, and can be changed by the SAC using the electronic CCOG system.

    • To revise elements that do not require college approval, see How to revise to CCOGs.
    • If you are revising a CCOG and wish to make changes to both kinds of elements, start with the ones that need college approval. When these changes have been entered into Banner, a draft CCOG reflecting the changes will be created by the Curriculum Office, and you can enter you enter other changes to complete the revision.
