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.

The College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) encourages departments to complete revisions requested by the CSCC from fall 2012 and spring and fall 2013 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.
