NEW:  Partner with a Campus

The RFP for Round 2 funding will enable campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding to apply for Round 2 funding IF they partner with a Round 1 grantee and the two campuses collectively reduce the cost of more course sections – at least double the number of course sections. Campuses that did not receive Round 1 funding can partner with a CCC or a CSU campus.    The goal is to "at least double the number of course sections" with OER for CCC and CSU students.

Your feedback on the draft RFP will be appreciated.
