Graduate Student authored Wintersession Courses

FIRST: By 10:00 am on February 9, every grad who wants to propose a course has to be approved in advance by their GPD via a form that only GPDs are shared into. The Registrar's Office will give these students access to a special course proposal form in Coursedog. The form will go through the following approval workflow: Proposal Advisor, Department Head, Dean, Wintersession Committee. Department and division staff will be notified if proposals are approved.

SECOND: By MARCH 19 (no later than 6 pm), these approved-to-apply students complete the course proposal form in Coursedog and upload their syllabus (using the required syllabus template below), resume and the Resource Request form below.

THIRD: All syllabi will be reviewed by the Proposal Advisor and grads will receive feedback prior to the proposal continuing to the Department Head.

FOURTH: By APRIL 1, the proposal completes the standard course approval process in Coursedog (DH→Dean→WSC) 

FIFTH: By APRIL 22, the WSC will send all applicants a response about the status of their proposal (GPD, DH, Department staff, Divisions, and Grad Studies are copied).

There are 3 possible responses:

• The proposal has been rejected and the reason(s) will be provided. The Grad will have the option of submitting a completely new proposal, by MAY 1.

  • The proposal will be re-reviewed by the WSC and the Grad will be notified of its status by MAY 17.

• The proposal has been conditionally accepted as long as certain updates/changes are made. These changes will be due by MAY 1.

  • The proposal will be re-reviewed by the WSC and the Grad will be notified of its status by MAY 17.

• The proposal has been approved, no changes needed.

After this, no more revisions or submissions will be accepted.
