Approval Process

Based on the School/Program submitting the request, the approval chain works as follows:

  1. Faculty Submits the New Course or Course Change Request through the Curriculum Management System.
  2. Proposal is then moved forward to the School/Department Curriculum Committee for review/approval (exception: CSD: proposals are moved directly to step 3)
  3. Once approved by the School/Department Curriculum Committee, the proposal is then sent to the Program Director for review/approval
  4. Once approved by the Program Director, the proposal is then sent to the School Dean for review/approval
  5. Once approved by the School Dean, the proposal is then sent to the Course and Curriculum Committee (CCRC) for review/approval
  6. Once approved by the CCRC, the proposal is then sent to the Registrar for FINAL approval and addition to the Student Information System (Colleague) and the Catalog

Important note:  Proposals can be pushed back by an approver if more information is requested at any level.  If a proposal is pushed back, it moves to the previous approver who can then continue to push it back for more information, or provide the information requested and move it forward once again to the next approval level.
