From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Course or program challenges for any proposals submitted to this point will no longer be accepted for the spring 2017 semester.

Please consult with your associate dean with inquiries. All programs and credit-bearing certificates must meet SUNY mandates.

The College Senate Curriculum Committee will be chaired by Ann Emo, associate professor and chair of the Theater Department, effective Monday, August 28. 

Karen Sands-O’Connor, professor of English, has served as chair of the Curriculum Committee for the last three years and as a committee member for many years before that. Dr. Sands-O’Connor has done an outstanding job chairing the College Senate Curriculum Committee, and we wish her all the best.

Curricular authors, department chairs, or associate deans who experience technical problems with KissFlow, including uploading documents, workflow processes, and additions, should contact Andrew Chambers, information management specialist in RITE, who handles all technical issues within KissFlow. Neither the Senate Office nor the Curriculum Committee has access to proposals in the workflow system. If your proposal has been revised since its first submission, please make sure to upload any revised documents, including any online routing forms that may have changed. Title changes and prefixes must be correctly updated in KissFlow when changes are made to first submissions. Please remember that any new course proposal prefix must not be reused from previous years or historical use.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The proposal review process for the spring 2017 semester has concluded. The Curriculum Committee does not meet during the summer. Any proposal submitted after April 14 will be reviewed in fall 2017.

When submitting curricular proposals in KissFlow, please make sure the proposal accurately reflects the nature of the course or program. A revision should state “Reason for Revision,” as opposed to new, which states “Reason for Addition.” Also make certain that the routing form information matches the proposal description. If a title change occurs after the first submission, the new title should be reflected on the revised proposal description. The College Senate Office has received several mismatched proposals recently, leading to inaccurate listings in the Daily Bulletin. Associate deans must ensure that all submissions match their routing forms and proposals before sending them via KissFlow to the Senate Office. The Senate Office checks submissions but is not responsible for mismatched documents.
