The first step in the proposal process is to submit a proposal using the APPC Proposal Form. After completing the form, please submit it and any accompanying material via email. Our email address is appc@oakton.edu.
Note: The following information is also on the form.
Once the proposal is submitted, APPC will start the review process. The committee discusses the proposal and determines the following:
Next, the work team collects data, meets with potentially affected units, refines proposal based on their feedback, and submits it to the full committee.
When the proposal has finished the initial review and refinement process, the APPC has a preliminary vote on the proposal. If the proposal receives preliminary approval, it is submitted to the Council of Deans, Faculty Senate, the Student Success Team, the Student Affairs Leadership Team, and the Student Government Association for final comments and votes on support.
After receiving votes and final comments from the groups, the APPC may modify the proposal to include concerns raised by these groups. The APPC conducts a vote for final approval. The decision is conveyed to directly affected units and the OCC community unless Board of Trustee approval is needed.
