ROUTINE COURSE CHANGE REQUEST

Use this form only for minor revisions to existing courses

Please note:

  • Revisions to courses/curricula submitted to The Graduate School or the Registrar on returned bulletin proofs do NOT constitute an official request for routine course changes.
  • Routine change requests for 500-level courses are to be submitted and reviewed by both the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC) and the Graduate Studies Committee (GSC).

The following changes are NOT considered routine and require submission of Form A: New and Amended Course Proposal:

 Change of course CIP code

 Raising or lowering course semester credit hours

 Changing a course number two or more levels

 Substantial changes in course description

 Revising student learning outcomes in ways that change the purpose or substance of the course, except for General Education recertification review for existing courses.
