From the Chair of the Senate Curriculum Committee
New courses approved by the College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) for Intellectual Foundations designation must also be approved by SUNY before those courses are formally added to the list of acceptable electives. This requires the submission of a separate SUNY Course Reporting Form, available on the CSCC website. This additional step is completely separate from the CSCC review and approval process and is the responsibility of the department that drafted the original course proposal and IF submission narrative. This requirement pertains only to those IF categories that are also included in the SUNY General Education Requirement. The form should list Dr. Rosalyn Lindner as the campus contact and must be submitted to SUNY through the Buffalo State College Assessment and Curriculum and Office.

From the Chair of the Senate Curriculum Committee
SharePoint will no longer be used for the submission of electronic copies of course proposals to the College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC). Beginning June 30, 2011, electronic copies of all new course and program proposals should be submitted directly to the CSCC mailbox in accordance with the guidelines listed in the College Senate Curriculum Handbook. SharePoint will also no longer be used as a repository for archived course proposals. In the future, all course revisions submitted to the CSCC must be accompanied by an electronic copy of the original course proposal. We appreciate your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience related to this change of procedure.
