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.

Curriculum 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.

The College Senate Curriculum Committee will resume curricular proposal reviews in early fall. Meg Knowles, associate professor of communication, will serve as chair of the Curriculum Committee for 2020–2021. Any proposal that has been approved pending revisions (APR) should be acted on immediately to process those requests. All proposals must be approved by the respective associate dean before final approvals by the chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee. All processes go through Kiss Flow. Please consult with your associate dean with questions regarding proposals that have already been submitted. Please e-mail Vincent Masci, assistant to the College Senate, with all other general questions.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Please remember that any new or revised course proposal prefix must not be reused from previous years or historical use. Any proposal submitted with a previously used prefix will not be processed for review by the College Senate Curriculum Committee. Curriculum authors and departments must verify this detail before submitting a proposal to the associate dean. The College Senate Office will contact the respective associate dean to make corrections. Errors will delay the reviewing process. A full list of all courses, current and historical, is available; please contact the College Senate Office to request a copy.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Updated templates for all curriculum submissions are available on the Curriculum Committee website. Curriculum authors, departments, and schools must now use the updated templates when submitting any curriculum proposals. Old templates will not be accepted.

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 curriculum needs and information. Updated proposal templates and all the latest CSCC information are posted there.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Office continues to accept curriculum proposal submissions throughout the summer and route them to the Curriculum Committee for fall 2020 review. The Curriculum Committee does not review over the summer. Proposals received after the April 10 spring review deadline will be reviewed in fall 2020.

Please be sure to check submissions for accuracy, ensuring that all course description documents match Kiss Flow submission pages. Please check with your associate dean before submitting any proposal. The College Senate Office checks all incoming proposals but is not responsible for submission errors.

If your proposal was approved or approved pending revisions (APR) from fall 2019 or spring 2020, please act on that proposal as soon as possible, as all curriculum processes continue over summer break.
