Curriculum Documents and Forms

CurrIQunet Link

View-only CurrIQunet access:
E-Mail: PTfaculty@riohondo.edu
Password: faculty

Course revisions, new courses,  program revisions, and new programs will be submitted via CurrIQunet as of Fall 2019. Please scroll down to access Division Matrices to determine courses in need of review and to see course discipline assignments (i.e., what discipline(s) can teach a given course).

Create a New Course or Revise an Existing One – Credit and Noncredit

If you are planning on creating a new course or revising an existing one you will do this through CurrIQunet.  The Curriculum chair is available to provide training.

  • How to Update Your Course Outline of Record (COR)
  • Simplifed Style Guide
  • How to Cite OER on a COR
  • Class Size Memo (revised 8-31-17)
  • Prerequisite/Advisory and Entering Skills Reference Sheet

Request a Course to be Offered via Distance Education (Online)

This can be done via CurrIQunet as of Fall 2020. In order to assure 508 compliance, it is advised to have as much of the proposed DE course content built as possible:

  • At a minimum, faculty are required to have at least four modules (four weeks) of the proposed DE version of the course Canvas shell built.
  • One of the minimum of four modules needs to be the first module containing all course information (syllabus, policies, resources, instructor-student/student-student contact frequency, etc.) required for the student to begin the course.
  • The modules in the proposed DE course should be reasonably robust and should contain samples of all content that would be present in the actual course.
    • Examples of this possible content are: pages, quizzes, discussions, assignments, images, video, audio, links, downloadable documents, tables, lists, color, etc.
  • The proposed DE course must be built in Canvas and ready to be submitted for a 508 compliance check by the DE Office prior to submitting the DE request in CurrIQunet.

After you receive a 508 compliance certificate for your course, please upload the certificate to the course file in CurrIQunet. You will also need to attach Division minutes.  The Division minutes should indicate an approval for this course to be offered in the online or hybrid format. 

If a course has previously been approved for hybrid delivery and you’d now like to offer the course via online delivery, please submit a DE request through CurrIQunet for this modality. The accessibility check for this course will be considered as having been already approved.

The following document contains general information about Distance Education courses, including the distinction between permanent and temporary Distance Education approvals:
