What's on this page

Curriculum Central is an online system for curriculum review: faculty complete proposals for new courses, modification of existing courses, and requests for program modification that result from these course changes. As specified by the Curriculum Review Process established in August 2009 , curriculum committees and administrators review and approve (or not) these proposals. The proposals are stored online, together with attachments and reviewer/approver comments, and all participants in the process can track the progress of a proposal.

Submit via Curriculum Central these curriculum proposals:

  • New courses
  • Modifications of existing courses
  • Modifications of existing programs at all levels
  • Individual students' proposals for Libera Studies major equivalent
  • ATP proposals
  • Proposals for new undergraduate and graduate programs that have completed the ATP process along with new courses associated with those new programs

Proposals for –94 (special topics) and –97/–98 (experimental courses) are not submitted via Curriculum Central but via a paper form available from the Registrar; submission deadlines for Fall, Spring, and Summer courses of these kinds are in the schedule below.Requests to de-activate a course (temporarily remove from the catalog), re-activate one, or "archive" (remove permanently) are also submitted in a paper form available from the Registrar.
