From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee 
During the 2012–2013 academic year, the College Senate Curriculum Committee halted all submissions of courses seeking IF designation. With the revision of the Buffalo State Student Learning Outcomes for the new Intellectual Foundations program (IF 2014) complete, we are ready to accept these submissions again, and in fact will make IF course submissions a priority in fall 2013.

While we will continue to consider non-IF-designation courses and programs as time allows, we will give first consideration to IF 2014 courses and to courses and programs needed for accreditation. Please consider waiting to revise other courses in your department until spring 2014 or later.

To facilitate the provost’s request for a fall 2014 implementation of the new IF program, associate deans should submit courses seeking IF 2014 designation to the Senate Office as early as possible in the fall semester. This will allow ample time for any necessary revisions and for the approval process.

The CSCC roster will be approved at the first College Senate meeting of the 2013–2014 academic year, on September 13, and we will begin to consider courses immediately after our roster is approved.

Please direct any questions to Karen Sands-O’Connor, chair of the CSCC.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Any course or program proposals that are sent to the College Senate Office at this time will be reviewed beginning in the fall 2013 semester. The College Senate Curriculum Committee does not meet during the summer and will reconvene in fall 2013; however, the committee encourages departments to complete revisions requested by the CSCC for proposals from spring and fall 2012 and spring 2013 that have been “accepted pending revisions” (APR) so that they may be finalized for approval and forwarded to the Academic Affairs Office.

Please note: Program submission routing sheets (majors and minors) must be printed on yellow paper, and course submission routing forms must be printed 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.
