Non-Degree Curriculum Approvals

In rare situations, a course or academic program may be created and coordinated by a unit that is not a degree-granting academic department or program. Examples might include:

  • University Honors Program requirements
  • First-Year Experience/UNV 101 course

In these situations, the following procedure should be used for new curricular approvals:

Action Step Estimated Time Needed
  1. Notification of Intention for New Course, Curricular Requirements, or Program to Provost Office

  1. Preliminary review of proposal for compliance-related issues by Provost Office and University Registrar, and referrals made as appropriate

Note: This step could take several months if there are significant compliance issues such as state authorization.

 2-4 weeks
  1. Divisional curriculum committee approvals

Note: Proposals from non-degree-granting units require approval of all divisional curriculum committees since the curriculum could be coupled with any major or degree program
