Guidelines for Submissions

    1. All submissions must first pass the School/College Curriculum Committee.
    2. Submissions must be uploaded by associate deans to the Undergraduate Council: 24-25 Undergraduate Council Files > New Submissions for Review folder in Box.  Proposal forms and materials should be received by 5:00 pm on the “Materials due” date to be assured of inclusion on the agenda for the next scheduled meeting.
    3. Proposal forms should be digitally signed and electronically submitted. Proposal forms that have been printed, physically signed, and scanned as PDF submissions will not be accepted.
    4. 5000-level courses will be reviewed by the Graduate Council and forwarded to the Undergraduate Council as a point of information. Split listings (courses listed as 3000- and 6000- level) will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Council and forwarded to the Graduate Council for review.
    5. Proposals for new courses to be taught in the Spring 2025 semester should be submitted early enough for consideration at the October Council meeting. Proposals for new courses to be taught in the Fall 2025 semester should be submitted early enough for consideration at the February Council meeting.
    6. Proposals for new undergraduate programs or for changes to existing program requirements to be effective in the Fall 2025 term should be submitted early enough for consideration at the February Council meeting. Complete (or near-complete) overhauling of course prefixes or course numbering will require even more lead time and should be discussed with the Registrar’s office in advance of their submission to the Undergraduate Council.
    7. Department or College representatives are invited to attend Council meetings in order to respond to questions or concerns raised by Council members.
