Catalog changes, such as adding or deleting a course, changing a course title or description, or changing pre- and co-requisites can be accomplished on campus. In addition, small modifications to a program (such as adding a writing course required of all majors) need only campus approval. Requests for curricular changes of this type require submission of an internal course form, or for program modifications, a program modification form.
Forms and instructions can be found on the Faculty Senate website.
Submit the form directly to the Faculty Senate Office for dissemination to either the Academic Standards and Curricular Review Committee (ASCRC) or the Graduate Council. Before submission, obtain all of the required signatures on the form, including program chair/director, program chairs/directors from other affected programs, and the appropriate dean's signature.
