Community College and Gardner-Webb University are constantly striving to enhance community college student access to Gardner-Webb programs and degrees. The parties recognize that curricular changes occur periodically, and that executing a new agreement each time either party makes a change is inefficient and burdensome. Therefore, to the extent that either party makes curricular changes that are purely technical in nature or that serve to enhance community college students’ ability to matriculate to Gardner-Webb, either party may implement such changes upon providing prior notice to the other party, to include the specific proposed changes. Unless either party objects within 30 days of notice, the curricular changes shall go into effect at that time, and the attached Transfer Pathway Plan will be so amended as necessary to reflect the changes. To the extent that the AAS Transfer Pathway Plan is changed, Gardner-Webb will provide a revised version and post it on its website. Any other types of changes shall be in writing and be executed by authorized representatives of each institution.
