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 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. Please note that the website will change in early 2015.

From the Chair of the College Senate Curriculum Committee
The College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) reviewing process has resumed for spring. If you have received a request to revise your submission (a.k.a. green revisions or APRs) from CSCC chair Karen Sands-O’Connor, please respond in a timely manner so that your curricular proposal can move forward to the final approval process. Your associate dean must approve and sign all curricular items before they are sent to the College Senate Office.

Please make sure that the routing form information and the information on the proposal documents are correct. The Senate Office occasionally receives these with contrasting information. This delays the process and may also cause incorrect information to be passed on in the approval process. The originating submitter is responsible for making sure this information is correct before it is signed by the associate dean and submitted to the Senate Office.

Please send electronic copies of all APR revisions, as well as any new items submitted for initial review, to the Curriculum Committee.
