As a supplement to the various program documentation manuals issued by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB), this three-part guide presents general procedures to be followed by the Illinois community colleges in implementing state policies concerning the submission of required data to the ICCB's Management Information System (MIS). Part I of the guide presents a schedule of due dates for various MIS submissions to the ICCB and then delineates policies and procedures for access to ICCB computer files. Discipline and curriculum code numbers to be used in data submission are presented in Part II, along with a description of the coding structures used in ICCB's faculty and staff classification and an outline of procedures for the classification of students by program major. Finally, Part III presents data formats, explanations, and examples designed to help college personnel transmit required data onto punched cards. These examples cover each of the subsystems of the MIS program, including student enrollment, faculty and staff inventory, room inventory, student completion, and student follow-up. Curriculum approval request forms, keypunch forms, and keypunch instructions are appended. (JP)
