From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Curriculum Committee has completed its fall review of curricular proposals. Items submitted after December 1 will be reviewed in spring 2018. The Curriculum Committee does not meet during winter break. Spring 2018 curricular review will begin 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.
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. Departments must be sure to delete proposals from KissFlow once they are approved, withdrawn, or rejected. Also, for proposals that require revisions, updated versions must be uploaded (including any online routing forms that may have changed) and previous, unapproved versions deleted. Title changes and prefixes also 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
The College Senate Curriculum Committee has completed its fall 2019 curricular reviews. Proposals submitted by November 25 were reviewed. Proposals received after November 25 will be reviewed in spring 2020. The Curriculum Committee does not convene over the winter break. The committee will resume reviews in February 2020.
If your proposal was approved or approved pending revisions for fall, please act on those proposals, as all curricular processes except reviews continue during winter break. Proposals may be submitted to the College Senate Office via Kiss Flow during winter break.
From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Curricular authors must now be using the newly revised proposal submission templates, which can be found on the Curriculum Committee website.
Please ensure that course proposals with the same three-letter course prefix and different course numbers have unique titles regardless of the graduate or undergraduate level. All courses must have different names, and all documents must match the information being entered in Kiss Flow. For example, CSC 100 Introduction to the Curriculum Process and CSC 600 Introduction to the Curriculum Process would not be permissible; one of the titles must be changed to distinguish it from the other.
Please use the CSCC website for all your curricular needs and information. Updated proposal templates and all the latest CSCC information are posted there.
