From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The following has been received in the College Senate Office and forwarded to the College Senate Curriculum Committee for fall 2015 review:
Program Revision:
Minor in Literary Studies
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 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 available on the College Senate website.
The Senate Office has a number of APRs* from late 2014 and early 2015 that have not been returned to the Senate Office. Please check with your associate dean or department chair to ensure that these are completed. You may also check with the College Senate Office on the status of your curricular item.
If you have received a request to revise your submission (a.k.a. green revisions or APRs) from College Senate Curriculum Committee chair Karen Sands-O’Connor, please respond in a timely manner so that your curricular proposal can move forward to the final local** approval process if the expectation is for the course to be offered for fall 2015. Your associate dean must sign all routing forms and provide paper and electronic copies of updated course descriptions reflective of the revisions requested by the CSCC. The new Curriculum Committee chair, Marc Bayer, begins his term August 31.
*Approved pending revisions
**All programs must meet SUNY guidelines; SUNY reviews are conducted in Albany, following local reviews. Approval or denial of all programs is at the discretion of SUNY.
When submitting curricular proposals, please be sure to check all appropriate boxes and fill in all relevant areas on course, program, or minor approval routing forms. If a course is IF infused (INF), please mark which infusions are being requested. Make certain the titles of submitted curricular items match the proposal form titles on all routing forms.
Submitters are responsible for ensuring that this information is correct and that the appropriate associate dean has checked its accuracy before sending it on to the College Senate Office. The Senate Office reviews all items before publishing them in the Daily Bulletin, but the office is not responsible for information that is listed incorrectly on original forms.
The new Curriculum Committee chair, Marc Bayer, begins his term August 31, but he has already begun signing all curricular items on behalf of the former chair, Karen Sands-O’Connor. Should you have concerns that Dr. Sands-O’Connor must know about, please notify Marc Bayer.
