NEW/CHANGED/CORRECTED & PREVIOUS INFORMATION This section should be the simplest part of completing this form. The
rule of thumb should be LESS IS MORE. For new courses, obviously, every
line should be completed. For changes and corrections, please only fill
out those lines that should be changed/corrected. Please note that I've
deleted the "No Chgs" column and added a "Chgs" column.

12. Prereqs, Coreqs & Advisories: All prereq's, and coreq's require
that a Content Review Form be completed and filed with Matriculation.
Advisories also require a Content Review Form but those forms come
directly to me, not matriculation. (Forms are available from my
office.)
13. Credit: Please note: "Degree applicable" does not mean that the
course is required for a degree.
14. Transferabilty: Transferability is something that must be
established through an application process, not something that is
determined by Foothill. Please see Bernie Day, our Articulation
Officer, while writing your course outline for assistance in
determining whether a course might be transferable.
