To facilitate an even and orderly processing of curricular items, the College Senate Curriculum Committee does not plan to designate a specific deadline date this semester for the submission of course and program proposals. All proposals submitted sufficiently in advance of the end of the semester will be reviewed by the CSCC, in due order, before Summer Session. The CSCC may consider special requests to hasten the review of specific course and program proposals if necessary. We encourage all departments to carefully draft all course and program proposals in close accordance with the guidelines outlined on the CSCC website and in the College Senate Curriculum Committee Curriculum Handbook.
