After the 15-day deadline, challenges will not be considered, as this affects the committee’s reviewing process. Please consult your associate dean with inquiries.

Associate deans and department chairs should regularly check their e-mail from KissFlow; this is the main communication device used in the Curriculum Committee reviewing process. Title changes and prefixes must be correctly updated in KissFlow when changes are made to original submissions. Please remember that any new course proposal prefix must not be reused from previous years or historical use.
Curricular authors, department chairs, or associate deans who experience technical problems with KissFlow, including uploading documents, workflow processes, and additions, should create a ticket in the IT self-service portal or contact Andrew Chambers, information management specialist in IT, who handles all technical issues within KissFlow. Neither the Senate Office nor the Curriculum Committee has access to proposals in the workflow system.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Curriculum Committee has completed its review of curricular proposals for fall 2018. The deadline to submit curricular proposals for the fall 2018 semester was November 26. Because of the large number of submissions, please allow time for processing. Submissions received after the November 26 deadline will be reviewed beginning in spring 2019. A spring 2019 submission deadline will be forthcoming. Curricular authors who plan to submit a proposal for spring 2019 should consult with their respective associate dean.
Please direct questions about submitted proposals to your respective associate dean. Any proposal that has been approved pending revisions (APR) should be acted on immediately to prevent delays. All proposals must be approved by the respective associate dean before final approval by the chair of the Curriculum Committee. All proposals go through KissFlow. For technical issues regarding KissFlow, please create a ticket in the IT self-service portal or contact Andrew Chambers, information management specialist in IT. Please contact Vincent Masci, assistant to the College Senate, with general questions.
From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
A KissFlow Help document (PDF, 295 KB) is posted on the College Senate Curriculum Committee website to help curricular authors prepare and upload proposals to KissFlow. This instructive document includes important information to know before submitting proposals for review. Curricular authors should always check with their associate deans before submitting a course or program proposal to KissFlow.
When submitting a course or program proposal via KissFlow, please make certain that your associate dean has approved the assigned prefix number or code. It is imperative that the correct prefixes for new or revised proposals be submitted, as these will eventually be entered in Banner and the course catalogs. All proposals must accurately reflect 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 title and description on the KissFlow routing form match the title and description on the local routing form, especially catalog descriptions. If a title change occurs after the first submission, the new title should be reflected on the revised proposal description. The College Senate Office sometimes receives mismatched proposals, leading to inaccurate listings in the Daily Bulletin and further delaying the final approval process. Associate deans must ensure that all submissions match their routing forms and proposals before sending them to the Senate Office via KissFlow. The Senate Office checks submissions but is not responsible for mismatched documents.
