RE: Catalog Deadlines and Curriculum Changes

DATE: August 8, 2008

This year is once again an academic catalog publication year. To be sure the appropriate approval is obtained before the 2009-2011 Academic Catalog goes to press, please note the following dates for submission to the University Curriculum Committee. These deadlines are for submission to the UCC. You may want to include earlier deadlines for submission to school/college committees and/or to the Graduate Committee to ensure appropriate approvals before the UCC deadline.

October 3, 2008: To be included in the 2009-2011 Academic Catalog, programs that require approval by the State Board of Higher Education or the Chancellor must be submitted to the University Curriculum Committee by October 3, 2008. These requests include new courses with new programs, title changes, program terminations, and program suspensions. Programs submitted after October 3 will be considered by the University Curriculum Committee but will not be included in the catalog.

February 6, 2009: To be included in the 2009-2011 Academic Catalog, course changes that require University Senate approval must be submitted to the University Curriculum Committee by February 6, 2009. These include new courses, course deletions, program admission, program changes, and course changes.

Attached is a copy of the Curricular Check List and Routing Sheet.

Curriculum information is also available on-line at the University Senate UCC page at www.und.edu/dept/registrar/curriculum. If you have any other questions about curriculum changes for the catalog, please contact Connie Borboa at connie.borboa@mail.und.nodak.edu or at 777-4852.
