Curricular Items
Posted: Thursday, April 21, 2016Final Call: Deadline for Outstanding Curricular Proposals (APRs) May 1
From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
All schools and departments are asked to complete and return by May 1 any outstanding curricular items from the 2014–2015 academic year that were approved pending revisions (APR)* by the College Senate Curriculum Committee. Several outstanding APRs must be finalized and advanced to the president. If you received a request to revise your submission (a.k.a. green revisions or APRs) from the previous College Senate Curriculum Committee chair, Karen Sands-O’Connor, please complete these revisions by May 1 so that your course proposal can move forward to the final local** approval process if the expectation is for the course to be offered in fall 2016. The Curriculum Committee does not meet during the summer.
The respective associate dean must sign all routing forms and provide paper and electronic copies of updated course descriptions reflective of the revisions requested by the Curriculum Committee. Please check with your associate dean or department chair to ensure that these are completed. You may also check with the College Senate Office on the status of your curricular item.
The College Senate thanks those schools that have followed up with APRs from last year. Please contact Vincent Masci, assistant to the College Senate, 878-5139, with questions.
*Curricular items that were approved by the College Senate Curriculum Committee pending minor revisions.
**All programs must meet SUNY guidelines; SUNY reviews are conducted in Albany, following local reviews. Approval or denial of all programs is at the discretion of SUNY.
