What does the color coding mean in the spreadsheet of eligible courses for the OER Conversion Grant?
The OER Conversion Grant is made possible by ZTC degree grants received from the State Chancellor's office. In fall 2023, CRC applied for 15 ZTC degree grants and in fall 2024 received funding for 14 programs. Because funding is tied to specific degree and certificate pathways, the incentive is only available to faculty who teach discipline-specific and general education courses for these pathways.
The spreadsheet of eligible courses lists both discipline-specific for each awarded degree and GE courses. Courses in colored cells indicate the course is required for a degree or certificate. In some cases, students have a choice of many courses to fulfill a certain number of units in a degree or certificate. All of these possible choices are also highlighted. The second tab of the spreadsheet shows the specific degrees and courses.
