From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) encourages departments to complete revisions requested by the CSCC from fall 2012, spring and fall 2013, and spring 2014 for proposals "accepted pending revisions" (APR) so that they may be finalized for approval and forwarded to the Academic Affairs Office. Failure to follow through will delay your course(s) or program(s) from moving forward.
Please note: Program proposal routing sheets (majors and minors) must be printed on yellow paper, and course proposal routing forms must be printed on blue paper. The Senate Office will not accept routing forms unless they 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. 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.

New Course:
FAR 105 Art Appreciation. Survey of the world of art; exploration of the purposes and content, the elements and principles, and various media used by artists.
From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
If you are submitting a course proposal, please make sure that the prefix number you are choosing has not been used in the past. The Registrar’s Office now requires that all prefixes be new and previously unused. If a prefix must be changed after you’ve submitted a course proposal to the College Senate Office, you do not need to resend the routing form. The number can be changed on the submitted routing form; however, this must be done before the review and approval process is complete to ensure that the correct number will be entered in Banner.
All curricular templates and routing forms for courses, major programs, and minor programs are now featured on their own page on the College Senate website.
From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
Any curricular items that were recently submitted to the College Senate Office have been logged and forwarded to the College Senate Curriculum Committee for fall 2014 review. Please follow up with APRs (accepted pending revisions) that the CSCC has requested in order to expedite your courses and programs to the final approval level. The CSCC does not meet over the summer.
