Community College System Policy Conversion

College practices and procedures are guided by University system policies.  These include Board of Regents (BOR) Policies, University Executive Policies, and, prior to 2002, Community Colleges Policies titled Chancellor for Community Colleges Memoranda (CCCM).  When the Office of the Chancellor for Community Colleges was eliminated in 2002, the Council of Community College Chancellors (CCCC) along with the two University system Associate Vice Presidents responsible for community college issues undertook an analysis of University Executive Policies and the CCCMs to determine those areas where common CC practices were appropriate, as well as areas where University Executive Policies provided adequate guidance.  The following table is a summary of the outcomes of that discussion.  In those areas where common practice was to be followed, either an individual, or a group was designated with developing draft language for consideration by the CCCC.  Once agreement was reached by the CCCC, each college was expected to adopt its own version of the policy.

In July 2005, the Board of Regents approved a reorganization that established the Office of the Vice President for Community Colleges.  This new community college system office is in the process of drafting and adopting University of Hawaii Community Colleges Policies (UHCCP) as appropriate.

The following document tracks the status of the policy conversion process:
