Courses can be broken up into modules to better facilitate teaching and scheduling.  A parent course must exist first.  Courses are usually separated into 2-part or 3-part modules to allow students to take 1/2 or 1/3 of a course at a time, often with the understanding that the students may not complete the other modules.  Modules use the same course number, but with letters indicating the modules (I.e., MATH 125 is divided into MATH 125A and MATH 125B).  The units and hours in the modules must add up to the units and hours in the parent course (MATH 125 is 5 units/5 hours; MATH 125 A and B are 2.5 units/2.5 hours each).

Instructions for completing the Standard Module Request form (MS Word or PDF):

1. Complete the subject code, subject title abbreviation, course number, course title, units, and hours as found on the existing parent course outline.
2. Effective date:  the next semester, if feasible.
   Complete the subject code, subject title abbreviation, course number, course title, units, and hours as you would like them on the new modules. HINT:  the only items to change from the parent course are the course number (add the letter to each module), units, and hours.  You may change the title to more specifically describe the content of the module.
3. Total the units and hours.  Must be the same as the parent course.  Attach a separate course outline for each module.
4. You are not required to get these signatures.
5. Submitted by: LATTC

Submit the form and the attached course outlines to the Agenda Review Subcommittee to place the item on the Curriculum Committee agenda.  See the Calendar for details on dates.  If one module will be a prerequisite to another module (MATH 125A is a prerequisite to 125B), you must also complete the prerequisite validation forms for each.
