Online Course
Development Initiative
The development of online courses requires a significant investment of time by the faculty at Columbia College. Expansion of the college’s online offerings is also an important initiative in support of students completing their Guided Pathways. With these factors in mind, the college will utilize a portion of its Guided Pathways funding to provide stipends to faculty who meet certain benchmarks in developing and offering online courses as listed below. The number of stipends available per term is limited. Proposed courses that meet one or more of the following criteria may be eligible for stipends. Each course must be approved by the Division Dean and the Vice President of Instruction, validating that it aligns with the college’s strategic goals and student needs.
Eligible Courses

* Courses required for awards
