To change an existing course, complete only those items on the Course Proposal Form that are changing.
To reactive a course, an e-mail from the department head to either the Dean or Associate Dean.

NOTE: Always start with the course proposal form linked to this page; do not use any earlier version stored on an office computer. Complete the required items and save the file using a descriptive file name, e.g., eled_1010_change, soc_1200_add, etc. Use the following descriptions and valid values to assist in completing the form.

Course Proposals and Change Due Dates

The following dates were chosen so the course schedule for the next semester is finalized prior to the registration period for that semester. The goal is to provide the most complete and accurate course schedule information to students when they register. This requires that we minimize additions to and changes in the course schedule after students start to register.

Fall semester - changes due by February 1st

Summer term - changes due by February 1st

Spring semester - changes due by October 1st
