From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
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 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.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Friday, April 13, is the last day that course or program proposals (major, minor, or certificate) will be accepted for spring 2018 review by the College Senate Curriculum Committee. Proposals received after that date will be reviewed in fall 2018. All proposals must be approved by their respective associate dean before being submitted to the College Senate. Questions regarding this process should be directed to College Senate Curriculum Committee chair Ann Emo. Please direct concerns or questions about a proposal that has already been submitted to the respective associate dean or department chair. For technical issues with KissFlow, please contact Andrew Chambers, information management specialist in RITE. Please contact Vincent Masci, assistant to the College Senate, with general questions.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The Curriculum Handbook is currently off-line for revisions. The updated document will be posted to the College Senate Curriculum Committee web page (via the College Senate website) in early spring.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
All curricular proposal challenges must be received within 15 days of submission to the chair of the Curriculum Committee for consideration. 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.

All non-local programs and credit-bearing certificates must meet SUNY mandates.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
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, 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. 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.
