When submitting course proposals, please make sure that the assigned prefix number has not been used in the past. Old or historical prefixes may not be used for new course submissions. New courses must have new prefixes.

When submitting curricular proposals, please be sure to check all appropriate boxes and fill in all relevant areas on course, program, or minor approval routing forms. If a course is IF infused (INF), please indicate which infusions are being requested. Please make certain the titles of submitted curricular items match the proposal form titles on all routing forms. Proposals that do not match routing form information will not be accepted by the College Senate Office.

Submitters are responsible for ensuring that submitted information is correct and that the respective associate dean has checked its accuracy before sending it on to the College Senate Office. The Senate Office reviews all items before publishing them in the Daily Bulletin, but the office is not responsible for information that is listed incorrectly on original forms.

All curricular templates and routing forms for courses, major programs, and minor programs are available on the College Senate website.

Several outstanding curricular items that were approved pending revisions (APR)* by the College Senate Curriculum Committee remain from the 2014–2015 academic year. The College Senate Office requests that all schools and departments please follow up with these outstanding APRs. 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 so that your curricular proposal can move forward to the final local** approval process. 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. The College Senate thanks those schools that have followed up with APRs from last year.

Several curricular items are awaiting revisions before they can be finalized and advanced to the president. Please check with your associate dean or department chair to ensure that these are completed. 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.
