From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Because of the revision of the Intellectual Foundations program, the College Senate Curriculum Committee will no longer accept new or revised course proposals for IF designation, effective immediately, until further notice. Course proposals submitted prior to this announcement will still be considered for IF designation; however, departments may opt to withdraw the proposal for IF designation by contacting the College Senate Curriculum Committee chair, Karen Sands-O’Connor, at cscc@buffalostate.edu. All current IF courses will remain as designated for now, but once the new IF program has been completely passed by the College Senate, the Senate Intellectual Foundations Oversight Committee will publish new procedures and guidelines for the submission of IF courses to the College Senate Curriculum Committee. Course proposal designation procedures for the new IF program will be published as soon as they are available.

The original version of this announcement, published November 8, incorrectly listed FRE 301 and FRE 302 as new courses. They are couse revisions.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
We encourage departments to complete revisions requested by the College Senate Curriculum Committee for proposals from spring and fall 2012 that have been “accepted pending revisions” (APR) so that they may be finalized for approval and forwarded to the Academic and Student Affairs Office.

Please note: Program routing sheets (majors and minors) must be printed on yellow paper, and course submission routing forms on blue paper. The Senate Office will not accept routing sheets unless the proper forms are submitted on the correct color paper. Please check with your school’s associate dean for details. All forms can be downloaded from the College Senate website Curriculum Committee page, under Forms and Templates. Please make sure when submitting a course revision to the Senate Office that the correct “old” version is included, in both hard copy and electronic files.
