PLEASE READ:
If the curriculum provides a list of elective courses from which to choose from to fulfill a degree requirement and the proposal requests that one or more of the elective courses in the list will no longer be permitted to fulfill the requirement but will continue to be a course offered in future semesters, the dropping of the course from the elective list will result in the creation of a new degree key/audit for the curriculum. If the course being removed from the list is a dropped course and will no longer be offered, removing the course from the course options will not create a new degree key.

Required Documentation

Approval Process

Upon completion of the above documentation and with the signature of the Head of the department or program, the action should be submitted to your College Liaison for approval by the College Course and Curriculum Committee and Dean. Upon approval at the college level, the College Liaison will send the action to the Office of Undergraduate Courses and Curricula in DASA for placement on the UCCC agenda.

If approved by UCCC, the UCCC Chair and the Dean for Academic Programs & Services (APS) signs and the action is sent to Registration and Records for implementation. If the action is approved pending revision, the UCCC Chair will sign and the UCCC representative from your college will contact the appropriate person(s) to submit the needed revision. Once the revision is received by the OUCC, the action will be signed by the Dean for APS and sent to Registration and Records for implementation.
