Curriculum & Scheduling
The Curriculum Department ensures that all recommended curriculum revisions are compliant with State guidelines and are approved by the required curriculum committees. After approval of proposed revisions, the Curriculum staff submit all necessary documentation for approval, update the necessary information in the South Texas College Catalog, update course prerequisites in the registration system, and update all degree requirements in the Degree Works student advising system. The Curriculum staff also ensure the accuracy of all course-related data for State reporting.
South Texas College offers more than 6,300 individual credit course sections to meet the many unique needs of our students. The scheduling staff coordinates the course scheduling process from initial schedule development through registration for each semester. The department establishes the schedule development and revision deadlines each semester and enters the course schedules submitted by the instructional programs. The department ensures compliance with uniform class times to ensure efficient utilization of facilities and is responsible for the accuracy of all scheduling data.

Can I reduce the class maximum of a course?
The class maximum is determined by the size of the classroom capacity. Any exceptions require both Division Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs approval. The Division Dean must submit a request via memo to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Once approved, the course will be added to the official Scheduling Guidelines with the approved lower capacity.
Why is it important that I meet the deadline for 1st Review Schedules?
Schedules submitted during the 1st review are scheduled according to the Classroom Distribution List. After the deadline, courses submitted without room assignments will be assigned to any available room, if no rooms are available from the department’s assigned classrooms. Delayed submissions of course schedules may also have an impact on enrollment if students are not given all the details of the course in a timely manner.
Course and Faculty Information
In 2009, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) adopted a new criteria concerning Public Access to Course Information required by House Bill 2504, 81st Texas Legislature. Each institution of higher education, other than a medical and dental unit, is to make available to the public on the institution's Internet website a syllabus for each undergraduate course offered for credit and a curriculum vitae for the instructor teaching the course. This information must be:
- Accessible from the homepage of the institutions Internet website within three links.
- Accessible to the public without requiring registration or password.
- Searchable by keywords or phrase.
- Available no later than the seventh day after the first day of classes for the semester or other academic term during which the course is offered.
- Updated as soon as practical after the information changes - at least once for every semester the course is offered.
All syllabi and CV are collected and stored in the Concourse application. For course and faculty information, visit the following webpage: https://courseinfo.southtexascollege.edu/AllCourses
- Section outlines for every section being offered.
- Curriculum vitae for all faculty teaching within the semester.
What if I have additional questions?
Please e-mail syllabi@southtexascollege.edu if you have any questions.
