New Course and Course Change Proposals

What is the deadline to submit course proposals to DUS? No later than the Thursday before Undergraduate Committee meetings (schedule available in department calendar; search "UC"). 
What is the approval process?
  1. All proposals should first be reviewed by the language area(s) involved.
  2. Then the UC reviews the documents you submit, and will vote to either approve as is or request revisions to ensure the class moves through UK's approval process as quickly as possible.
  3. After the UC approves your documents, the DUS brings the course to the department for approval at the next department meeting.
  4. After that, the DUS enters the course into Curriculog, the department chair approves it, and it moves on to the College, out of our hands. It may take up to a year for courses to be fully approved; UK Core adds a significant amount of time to the process.

Minor course change

What is a minor course change?
  1. Change in course number within the same hundred series (changing from 107 to 109, for example).
  2. Editorial change in course title or description which does not imply change in content or emphasis.
  3. Change in prerequisite(s) which does not imply a change in course content or emphasis, or which is made necessary by the elimination or significant alteration of a prerequisite(s).
  4. A new cross-listing of a course or removal of a cross-listing.
  5. Correction of typographical error(s).
Submit via email to DUS: 
  1. the original number/title/description/prereq/cross-listing/error;
  2. the change you want to make; and
  3. a detailed rationale for why you want to make the change and why it fits one of the categories below to classify it a minor change. 

Syllabi and Curriculog forms are not needed for minor course changes.

Major course change or new course proposal

What is required to submit a major course change or new course proposal? 

Two things are required for all courses; see UK Core section below if your course proposal involves adding or keeping UK Core. 

  1. Syllabus using this template with learning outcomes following Bloom's Taxonomy guidelines
    1. Syllabus must be in English for review by committees who do not necessarily read our languages.
    2. Your syllabus must include all the required information using the template (delete UK Core sections if not a Core course). Please build your syllabus using the template and leave all the boiler plate language as is; be sure to address everything highlighted on the template.
    3. Please also use the Editor function in Word (click "Review" and then "Editor" should appear on the top left) to catch typos and other suggested revisions.
    4. Learning outcomes must follow Bloom's Taxonomy guidelines. If they do not, the UC will return them to you for revision, which will delay submission of your course.
  2. Curriculog form
    1. Be sure to answer all questions; responses are required for submission of courses to Curriculog. Skipping questions will delay the submission of your course.
    2. Sample responses for Distance Learning questions are provided; we are required to submit syllabi for DL approval. You can read more about DL here, and are welcome to edit the responses already on the form to match your course specifications as necessary (please highlight any changes in yellow).
What if I also want to add UK Core? 

Keep in mind that you must choose only one UK Core area. UK Core adds these additional requirements:

  1. You must include required UK Core learning outcomes edited to fit your course material (and only those; we can no longer have two sets of learning outcomes). If you have two sets, submission of your course will be delayed until you revise your syllabus.
  2. In the syllabus (same template linked above), you need to complete the UK Core Course Assignment Map. To do this:
    1. Copy the UK Core learning outcomes that you have edited to fit your topic one by one into the first column of the chart. There will only be three outcomes.
    2. Choose a single assignment to use that will allow students to demonstrate fulfillment of all learning outcomes. This will likely be a final paper or project. Then, explain clearly and in detail in the second column of the chart how that one assignment will allow students to demonstrate their achievement of each learning outcome. The answer will not be the same for each outcome, and should not just restate the outcome.
    3. If you choose more than one assignment, submission of your course will be delayed until you revise your syllabus.
