Section 6C: Curriculum Change Process

Department creates a formal proposal. See Proposal Requirements.
Department completes and attaches to the proposal the Request for Curriculum Action form and obtains the appropriate signatures (chair, dean, affected departments, etc.). The Catalog Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office can help provide current catalog information (e.g., course descriptions, major requirements tables, catalog statements) to help initiate the proposal process.
Proposal is reviewed by the department’s college, division, or school curriculum committee. Upon approval of that committee (indicated by signature of the committee chair or designee), the department submits an electronic copy, in MS Word or Google Doc document, of the proposal and the completed Request for Curriculum Action form to: a) the University Curriculum Committee (UCC) for undergraduate changes or b) the Graduate Council for graduate changes. The electronic version of the proposal must be a MS Word or Google Doc document so that the committee can make changes.

Notice: University Foundations courses must be approved by the General Education Council prior to UCC review.
