Directions for submitting a new course or a course change for review to the Graduate College Curriculum Committee

  1. Complete the new course proposal form or course change form after consulting the table for direction. Save the file as a Word document. Name the file with the prefix, course number and either the word “new” or “change” (i.e., SOC725New.doc).
  2. Fill in your name and e-mail address as the Course Developer in the Routing and Approval Box on the form. THIS CONSTITUTES YOUR ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE.
  3. Be sure to fill in all the names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers of the rest of the individuals who will be reviewing your course in the Routing and Approval Box before saving and sending the form.
  4. When pasting your syllabus, make sure there are no section/page breaks in the document. Section/page breaks will not paste in the form.
