Proposing or Revising Curriculum

A faculty member has the right to propose new courses or propose revisions of existing courses. Curriculum proposals must be approved by each of the following:

  • the faculty member's Department or Division,
  • the College's or Division's Executive Committee,
  • the Graduate Executive Committee (if the course is on the graduate level),
  • the Academic Committee, and
  • the Faculty Senate.

To initiate the formal process, a faculty member should obtain appropriate forms from his or her Department or Division Head.

For a new degree program or a minor, more extensive documentation will be required; however, the approval process is the same as that of proposing or revising courses.
