From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Curriculum Committee has begun its spring 2019 review of curricular proposals. Because of the large number of submissions, please allow time for processing. The deadline to submit curricular proposals for spring 2019 review is Tuesday, April 23. Submissions received after the deadline will be reviewed in fall 2019. Curricular authors who plan to submit a proposal for spring 2019 should consult with their respective associate dean.

Please direct questions about previously 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
Any new or revised course proposal submitted for an Intellectual Foundations (IF) designation must reflect the IF 2014 revisions, which were approved by the College Senate in 2014. All IF narratives must be updated to reflect the IF 2014 requirements; any IF narrative submitted under a previous IF format will not be accepted for review. An IF narrative submitted for a previously approved course should use the recently added "IF Narrative only" option in Kissflow. Please contact your respective associate dean with questions.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
When submitting a course or program proposal via KissFlow, please make certain that your associate dean has approved the assigned prefix number or code. Please remember that any new course proposal prefix must not be reused from previous years or historical use. 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.

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
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.

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.

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.
