Here is the current process for approving substantial curriculum changes:

• Degree or course changes/proposals are first circulated amongst the discipline faculty within the department. 
• Desired changes are forwarded electronically via email to the chair of the department curriculum committee
• The department curriculum committee forwards approved material with committee chair’s signature to the department chair . 
• The department chair forwards approved and signed material to the dean.
• The dean forwards approved material to the university curriculum chair.
• The university curriculum chair forwards approved material to the provost.
• The provost enters approved material into the new catalogue. 

Once material reaches the provost’s office, approval status can be monitored on the following website:  gator.uhd.edu/~williams/ucc.

Because the University Curriculum Committee posts curriculum changes online through WebCT, all proposals coming forward must be in electronic form. 

The University Curriculum Committee requires that any new course proposals include the following in order to meet QEP assessment needs:

• A clearly written description, using complete sentences, suitable for student viewing in the course catalogue.
• An outline of the course including possible textbooks, articles, projects or assignments (a rudimentary syllabus). 
• A list of learning objectives. Click here for help writing learning objectives:  Terms
• An explanation regarding how the course meets degree outcome goals as set by the discipline areas and a specific list of the degree outcome goals that the course meets. 
• An explanation of the benefits of the course to general education.
