Revise Course


For a course to make the catalog deadline date and be included in the appropriate catalog year, it must have completed all the review and approval stages (not including the Curriculum Committee stage) by the deadline date. If you fail to complete the review and approval process, it means you've missed the catalog deadline date, and your course will go into the following year's catalog.

NOTE: The effective year on a course outline of record may not represent the 5-year revision year. Check the current list of courses due to see if your course is due for its 5-year revision.
