Navigating this complex and challenging task starts with a quick conversation with our team to make sure that the approval process is smooth and the program is successful. Please see the links below for further information on various teaching and program-related request forms:
curriculum coordinators
The College of Global Futures has dedicated staff in each school to help faculty develop, get approvals, and schedule programs and courses. They can help you get familiar with the process, what the requirements are, and who needs to be involved. We highly encourage you to reach out to your coordinator when first starting discussions.

curriculum process
From Programs to Courses, all new developments have a specific required process that they need to go through before students can enroll. Programs can take 2-3 years to implement and even courses need to be approved 1 year before you plan to teach. These processes are used to make sure that all entities at ASU are informed, registrations are updated, high quality courses and instructional materials are designed, and students are successful. Below is a simple flowchart to help you understand the process, but please note that each program and course are unique and may have different requirements. Start by talking to one of the curriculum coordinators to get started.
All new requests MUST start with school approval before moving to the College of Global Futures Curriculum Committee.
CGF curriculum committee
The College of Global Futures Curriculum Committee is facilitated by the Director of Learning Design and Curriculum. Voting members consist of a representative from each school, and ex-officio members include the Associate Dean of Student Success, and the Sr. Director of Student Engagement. You should inform your representative of any new requests so they can advocate and support the approval during the meeting. At meetings where your request is being discussed, you will be invited to attend and answer questions. All new requests are required 2 weeks in advance of the monthly meeting to allow committee members to review the proposals.
