Subject: LOAC-Academic Affairs meeting 9/2/25

Notes from LOAC monthly meeting, September 2, 2025.

• Not all areas have representatives.
• 9/26 there will be a SPOL training. 11-12 in zoom. 
• 10/1 in F243. I think this is part of the Faculty Learning Lab, but it isn’t appearing on the PD webpage (yet).

SPOL NOTES

• Erik Arevalo is available if you need help with SPOL.
• If the PLO’s are correct in CurriquNet, but wrong in SPOL, Erik can fix it.
• If the PLO’s are wrong in CurriquNet, or need updating, then you need to go through AP&P.
• Check your program in SPOL. Who is the program manager, and who are the program members? If you’ve had turnover in your area, you will need to update this.
• If you have new programs starting next academic year, they won’t be loaded automatically when the catalog is updated. You need to alert Erik so he can create them in SPOL.
• There are training videos available.

• suggestion to make one specific to CTE programs for assessments and annual updates. Tom Lamica, dean of CTE would know what is required for that.
• would like coaching on “how to interpret the data”. This training could be specific to different programs.
