Purpose:

To provide a procedure for adopting, amending, and/or deleting procedures of the College.

A Procedure is a process that will ensure compliance with a particular statute, rule or Board Policy, or assures quality in student learning or service delivery. In this procedure the term "revision" will be used to include revision and deletions.

1. The SCC Manual of Procedures contains management information used to assist students, faculty staff, and administrators in carrying out their duties and responsibilities. Authority for procedures is contained in applicable chapters of the United States Code, Florida Statutes, Florida Administrative Code, and Seminole Community College Policy Manual.
   
   
2. A Committee or any member of the College faculty or staff may recommend a new procedure or a revision to an existing procedure. A draft of the new procedure or revision to an existing procedure should be forwarded to the originator's department level supervisor. The originator's supervisor should work with the originator to review and refine the draft, if necessary, and forward the refined procedure to the Vice President for the area of the College to which the procedure pertains.
   
   
3. Upon receiving a proposed procedure or change to an existing procedure the Vice President with responsibility for that procedure will review the proposal with the Executive Staff.
   
   
   1. If the proposal is rejected, it will be returned to the originator with reasons for rejection. Suggested modification of the procedure may be requested and reviewed with the originator. The originator, upon receipt of rejection of the proposal, may request reconsideration by the Executive Staff. Such request will be made to the Office of the President along with the reason(s) for the need for reconsideration.
      
      
   2. If the proposal is accepted, the following steps will be taken:
      
      
      1. The Vice President will send the proposal to the Office of Risk Management and Legal Affairs to be formatted and assigned a number conforming to the sequence found in the Seminole Community College Manual of Procedures.
         
         
      2. The Office of Risk Management and Legal Affairs will see that the proposed procedure is published on the SCC Bulletin Board for two consecutive weeks for faculty and staff comments. A twenty-one (21) day period beginning on the first day of publication will be allowed comments.
         
         
      3. Comments will be sent to the Office of Risk Management and Legal Affairs to incorporate responses and sent the revised draft, in final form for signature, to the Executive Staff for approval at its next meeting.
         
         
4. With the President's signature the procedure will become "approved" and shall be published on-line in the SCC Procedures Manual. The original copy of the signed form will be kept on file in the Office of Risk Management and Legal Affairs.
