Curriculum Approvals and Processes

Directions: To facilitate the approval of changes to the curriculum, including changes to current courses and programs and/or introduction of new courses or programs, please find the particular change you are interested in, select the link, and you will be guided to the exact process to follow.

FOR ALL CURRICULAR CHANGES, be sure to consider if your proposed change affects another department or departments (deleting/modifying a course that is required by another department, including a course offered in another department as part of a major or minor program, and so on). Curriculum committees oftentimes require some kind of documentation that the other department knows about the change and approves of it. Please contact Kevin Neal, Assistant University Registrar, to verify if a curricular change you are considering influences another department.
