The MCLLC Supplemental Professional funds are intended to supplement the costs needed for professional activities. To apply, please complete the following form: Request for Supplemental Funds.
If you think your change is a minor course change (see descriptions below), then please submit via email to the 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.
Change in course number within the same hundred series (changing from 107 to 109, for example).
Editorial change in course title or description which does not imply change in content or emphasis.
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).
A new cross-listing of a course or removal of a cross-listing.
Correction of typographical error(s).
To create a new course or put in a major course change, please submit the following files to DUS via email attachment no later than the Thursday before UC meetings (schedule available in department calendar); keep in mind that items 1 and 2 are required for all new course and major course change proposals:
Syllabus must be in English for review by committees who do not necessarily read our languages.
Your syllabus must include all the required information using the template. 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.
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.
Learning outcomes must follow Bloom's Taxonomy guidelines. If they do not, the UC will return them to you for revision.
All courses submitted for UK Core approval must include required UK Core learning outcomes edited to fit your course material on the syllabus, and just those. We cannot use two sets of learning outcomes.
Be sure to answer all questions; responses are required for submission of courses to Curriculog. Skipping questions will delay the submission of your proposal.
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.
(3) (optional) UK Core info (only required if seeking UK core approval).
Consult UK Core learning outcomes. We can only choose one UK core area per course, so please just choose one.
Please keep in mind that you need to 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; think about how to design this assignment so that students can show what they have learned during the semester.
Process: all proposals should first be reviewed by the language area(s) involved. 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. After the UC approves your documents, the DUS brings the course to the department for approval at the next department meeting. 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.
