• Course and program proposals, both new proposals and modifications, will be for the following academic year, and will need full faculty governance approvals before updates will be reflected in the catalog aligned with the effective term.  Each college has a specific workflow process, and approvals are made by the department curriculum committee, the department chair or program director, the college curriculum committee, the college dean, the Faculty Senate or Graduate Council, the College of Graduate Studies (if applicable), the Office of the Provost and final step is the Office of the Registrar. 

Due to multi-year registration, the timeline for the approval of proposed undergraduate and graduate curriculum changes varies by type of change:
