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
The College Senate Curriculum Committee will begin its curricular review on February 13. The submission deadline for spring-semester reviews will be announced. If you have concerns or questions about a proposal you've submitted, please consult with your associate dean and department chair. With basic questions, please e-mail Vincent Masci, assistant to the College Senate.
For technical issues with KissFlow, please contact Andrew Chambers, information management specialist in RITE.
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.
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.
