Statewide Course Numbering System Coordinator
Edward Waters College moved to the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS) where all of our courses would be listed using the same prefixes as major public universities. I worked with faculty and department chairs to move the curriculum and course codes to the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS). This required entering the courses for approval from the Florida Department of Education's SCNS system, meeting with faculty and chairs when courses were returned to revise curriculum concerns expressed by the Florida Department of Education and work with the Registrar to create the courses in the EWC course catalog in Ellucian's Power Campus and in Self-Service. Oversaw the move and worked to implement curriculum changes to benefit the college and the students we serve.
