Common use of Column Advancement Clause in Contracts

Column Advancement. Movement across columns is possible by completing additional academic units or equivalent experience. To guarantee that an applicant receives credit, prior approval must be obtained before beginning coursework or equivalent experience by completing the YCCD form “Request for Professional Improvement Activity” and by creating a Professional Improvement Proposal (Guidelines are available through Human Resources; See also APPENDIX A-4 and A-5). Professional Improvement Proposals for course work or activities completed during the academic year without prior approval may be submitted for approval in the month of April each year. This window of opportunity for post-approval will open April 1st and close April 30th of each year. Transcripts or a Post Activity Report (Guidelines are available through Human Resources) must be submitted to Human Resources no later than August 1st in order to receive unit credit for the upcoming academic year. Note: If a course you are attending for credit ends in August after the August 1st deadline, you must notify Human Resources by August 1st. The procedural steps, appeals process for an activity denial, the list of approved activities of Professional Improvement, and the conversion formulas for activities into course units are all located on the Human Resources website and can be found in APPENDIX A in the Faculty Contract.
