Filling Out the Course Proposal Form

The Course Proposal Form is the standard form used to submit all course proposals. Course information sections are filled in differently depending on the type of proposal submitted; however for all types of proposals the fields pictured below need to be completed:

NEW COURSE PROPOSALS:

1. Complete Side A, Section II New, Revised, or Regularized Course :  All of the fields must be completed.

2. Side B Items 1-5:  Provide all the information requested.

REGULARIZING a COURSE: (proposing a Selected Topics course as a permanent course offering.) Although the course has been offered previously as a selected topics it is not a change to an existing course. The course is treated as a new course proposal; however, unlike a new course you must complete all sections of the form:

1. Side A Section I:   Show the course as it has been offered as a Selected Topic, fill in all the fields.

2. Side A Section II:  All fields must be completed

3. Side B Items 1-5:  Provide all the information requested.

Any changes you want to make to the course are made in Section II as in the example below.

COURSE CHANGES:

1. Side A Section I: The course in its present form

2. Side A Section II: Proceed to fill out only those fields that are being changed.

3. The Rationale for the requested change(s) must be provided, See Side B, #1

It will be assumed that any fields left blank in Section II are intended to remain unchanged.

*An incomplete Course Proposal Form will be returned to the originating school/college for completion.
