Any proposal submitted using the old template format will not be accepted unless the Curriculum Committee chair has made other arrangements with the department chair and associate dean. 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.
