GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

When a department adds a new curriculum or makes changes in an existing one, a Form D Addendum must also be submitted. This form is simply a list of those courses in the curriculum that satisfy the General Education requirement. Include course rubric, number, and credit hours when curricula differ from the default values. Indicate the curriculum semester for all General Education courses.

NOTE: Changes in areas of concentration should be submitted on Form E.

One original copy of each request must be submitted.

All questions must be answered. The proposal will be delayed until the form is filled out completely and accurately.

The department should consider the length of time necessary to obtain final approval. If the curriculum is to be added, substantially changed, or dropped, as long as 18 months may be required before the action can be implemented. Hence, requests should be submitted early enough to obtain final approval before the desired effective date. Changes to curricula generally take effect with the publication of the next General Catalog.

Dates of departmental and college approval of the proposal must be recorded. The Faculty Senate Courses and Curricula Committee will not consider curricular proposals that have not been approved by college/departmental curriculum committees. In addition, any other division of the University that might be affected by the curricular change must be consulted. The affected unit must be invited to submit a written response; such response will be weighed by the Faculty Senate Courses and Curricula Committee in its deliberations.

**Please provide the college/division/departmental contact’s name and email address, in case of further questions/concerns that may be related to the proposal.

If Establishing a New Undergraduate Curriculum:

In addition to submitting the Form D and Form D Addendum for review by the Faculty Senate Courses and Curricula Committee, the department may be asked by Academic Affairs to prepare documentation needed for review by the governing boards. Academic Affairs will forward the proposal to the Board of Regents through the appropriate channels.

The entire curriculum, by semester, must be typed on plain sheets and attached to Form D.

If Changing an Undergraduate Curriculum:

Regardless if all semesters of a curriculum are to be changed or only parts, the present and proposed (eight-semester) recommended path should be attached on separate pages. On the Present recommended path, use strikeout and on the Proposed recommended path, highlight areas to identify deletions and additions. Do not use boldface to designate changes as boldface is reserved for critical requirements within the recommended path. Indicate the present and proposed total semester hours. Departments must give an adequate explanation for the requested changes on a separate sheet attached to Form D. (Changes in areas of concentration must be submitted on Form E.)

[Instructions for Form D continue on next page] [Instructions for Form D continued from previous page]

Changes involving only a revision in the title of a degree program, and not a change in content, should also be submitted on Form D. (Form D Addendum is not required.) A detailed rationale/justification for the change in degree title must accompany the request. The Board of Regents retains final approval authority for changes in curricula titles; Academic Affairs will forward the request to the Regents after approval by the Courses and Curricula Committee.

If Suspending or Dropping an Undergraduate Curriculum

A brief explanation of the suspension or drop should be attached to Form D.

After a proposal to terminate a curriculum is approved, Academic Affairs will forward it to the Board of Regents through the appropriate channels. Requests to suspend curricula do not require Regents approval.

When a curriculum is dropped or suspended, students already in the curriculum are allowed to finish their degree programs. However, no new students are admitted.

When requesting reactivation of a suspended curriculum, departments should submit a new form D to the Faculty Senate Courses and Curricula Committee. Indicate on the form that a suspended curriculum is to be reactivated, rather than a new curriculum created. If a significant amount of time has passed since the suspension, departments should check the current General Catalog carefully to ensure that the program meets all current requirements and that no required courses have been dropped since the suspension.

4. 2. Form D Addendum · General Education Requirement

When a department adds a new curriculum or makes changes in an existing one, a Form D Addendum must also be submitted. This form is simply a list of those courses in the curriculum that satisfy the general education requirement.
