The first step for new courses is to check the most recent list of Active Courses in the UH System to determine which alphas and numbers are in use. If the new course you are proposing is the same as another course in the system, use that alpha and number. You may also search the entire list at UHCC Master Course List. NOTE: There is no particular order for numbers 3 and 4 below, however student learning outcomes must be incorporated in the course outline, so the General Education Skill Standards should be developed at the same time. 3. If this is a course that is appropriate for inclusion in the MCC Liberal Arts AA Degree, download the current version of the degree -- which will take effect in Fall 2008.
