A course must first be created and approved in order to be scheduled. A syllabus including all required components will need to be attached and an explanation of how the course interacts with various programs (majors, minors, interdisciplinary programs).

Simple Syllabus can be used if a "sandbox" course in Canvas exists (directions below). There is also a syllabus template available through CAFE.

1. Sign into Canvas.
2. Go to Help in the left sidebar navigation.
3. Select Canvas Request System.
4. Select New Course along the top navigation bar.
5. Select Development for New Course Type.

Please let Alicen Lundberg know if you need a course number, including what level(s) or other consideration(s) (like that it will be reviewed for WI status). For courses at the 300-level or above, please refer to the upper-division courses policy for requirements.

Refer to the Bloom's Taxonomy for help in writing SLOs:

Along with program proposals, there needs to be updated versions of the following (integrating any course and program modifications together):

All proposals received by Friday, September 15, will be collected for a meeting with the Vice Provost for Academic Innovation by early October to discuss timelines and priorities.

The deadline for proposals to be through all levels of unit review (department-CAS Curriculum Committee-Dean). This is also the deadline for catalog edits for pages not related to courses and programs, such as Overview and Faculty pages.

The deadline for proposals to be through levels of university review (assessment-GECC/UCC/Grad Council).

Meeting this goal means that incoming students can start planning their coursework and plans of study based on accurate program and course information.
