Guidelines for the process of having a new course approved. Includes both "final" and "experimental" approval.
Timeline for experimental course approval: To align the approval of experimental courses with the formal course scheduling process, faculty will submit experimental course offering materials to the UPC chair within the first two weeks of either the Fall or Spring semesters for courses to be offered in the next academic year. Experimental course proposals will include a draft syllabus, letters of approval from the appropriate Dean and Department Chair, a library review, and some justification following the new course proposal document.
In general, experimental course proposals must be submitted and approved in the Spring to join the following academic year's schedule. Fall semester submissions allow faculty to formulate new course offerings which have a very slight probability to be included in the Spring semester but will also typically be planned for the next academic year.
