L&S Curricular Deadlines for Course and Program Changes
Please consult the information below for deadlines to change courses, add courses or change program requirements.
L&S Deadlines: Course Changes
- New courses can be added at any time (there is no ‘deadline’). For new courses: follow
the change deadlines below if you want it available before the final schedule is released to students.
- Departments must use Lumen Courses
to submit course proposals, and must upload a
syllabus with all syllabus components required by campus.
Spring 2020 deadlines:
Recommended* submission date: by early March, Spring 2019 (committees don't meet over the summer).
Summer 2020 deadlines:
Recommended* submission date: by the beginning of October, 2019
Fall 2020 deadlines:
Recommended* submission date: by mid-December, 2020
*Recommended deadlines build in time for you to address requests for revisions, including revisions to the syllabus if it does not include all the required components (see syllabus requirements) before final deadlines. It also builds in time for other department or committee reviews (such as cross-listed department review or general education review), or to address any questions. You will be notified if revisions to the syllabus or proposal are
needed.
The recommended deadlines assume you will address feedback within a week or so.
