News

The 2019-20 deadlines for outline proposal submission:

  • Deadline - Friday, October 11, 2019

Note the following:

  • The review date (see General Information #9) for all deadlines is Fall 2020.
  • The deadlines are the dates when a proposal must be approved by a division chair and submitted to the Curriculum Committee.
  • The Curriculum Committee has two deadlines to encourage proposers to submit outlines early in the academic year. This allows us to avoid a large influx of outlines too late in the year to complete all the work.
