Please do not submit course revisions with new course proposals attached or vice versa. 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.
The review process for proposals is over for the spring 2017 semester. Final reviews will take place May 9. Any proposal submitted after 5:00 p.m. Friday, April 14, will be reviewed in fall 2017.
