Proposing a New or Revised Course
The Curriculum Review Committee reviews course proposals at a meeting each quarter. The committee provides feedback on proposals when changes are needed prior to approval. Courses can be offered as soon as they are approved. Courses may be approved provisionally when the committee's timelines cannot accommodate a program's needs; however, all normally required documentation must be provided.
