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, 2019, have been 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 use the newly revised proposal submission templates, which can be found on the Curriculum Committee website. 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. 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.
