The 2023-2024 deadline for curriculum proposal submission approved by the Division Chairs is Friday, October 13, 2023. (The dealine for individul proposal submission to the division may vary by what is set by the respective division chair. Since all the initial submissions need to be reviewed and voted on by the division first prior to the division chair’s approval, the individaul submission of any proposal to the division chair should be by the first Friday in October for the latest if no dealine has been set by the respective division chair.)

Note the following:

  • The Start Term for non-experimental course proposals and Effective Term for program proposals are Fall 2024.
  • The deadline is the date when a proposal must be approved by a division chair and submitted to the Curriculum Committee.
    • Division review of and vote on the proposals must be conduct prior to the division chair approval with the exception of experimental course proposal.
  • The Curriculum Committee encourages faculty to submit proposals early in the fall semester to facilitate the review process at the college level.
