什么是R401 (PDD)?

R401文档被发送到国家审批。 The title “Program Development Document” (PDD) was used as a replacement term for the R401 in the past. It is a form that must be filled out to receive program OR administrative unit approval from an outside body such as USHE or NWCCU. 它的正式名称为R401。

我怎么知道我是否需要R401?

所有新的或删除的项目和学术管理单位必须有R401。 Any program modifying their core 25% (since the last NWCCU visit or a previous R401), changing their name, or CIP code also need a R401.

我怎么知道该填哪张R401表格?

请致电课程办公室索取正确的表格和帮助。

为什么我的课程需要系里投票?

院系投票是课程设置过程的一部分。 It offers transparency and allows all full-time faculty members a chance to participate in or be made aware of any curricular changes, additions, or deletions

Why do some courses in CourseLeaf CIM have a box at the top that lists “Programs referencing this course” and/or “Courses referencing this course”?

This box is called the “eco system” and indicates programs and/or courses that specifically list this course. If you are submitting a modification to an existing course that involves a prefix, number, or total credit hour change, then EVERY program and/or course in this list must also be submitted to reflect the change to this course. Call the 课程办公室 if you need assistance.

我提交了我的课程/项目,但需要做额外的更改。 How can I edit now?

转到CourseLeaf CIM中的特定课程/程序。 In the upper right corner, under “IN WORKFLOW” you can see where your item is in the workflow. Queues shown in green have already approved, the orange shows its current location, the ones in gray have not reviewed the item yet. 这些队列指示器也是链接。 You can click on the queue/link you need to send an email requesting a rollback, or in some cases, if the queue is managed by a faculty member, they may be willing to make the edit for you. 您也可以通过电子邮件向课程办公室发送回退请求。

如何进行影响多个程序的更改?

Any change that affects multiple programs within your department must be submitted by a faculty member and all the changes must be reviewed and approved together. If a course change affects a program(s) outside of your department, contact the Curriculum Office to see if your change is eligible for a facilitation request. If UCC approves the facilitation request, the curriculum office will update all courses and programs outside your department once the course change is fully approved. If the change involves moving from upper division to lower division or vice versa, or if the course is a required course in a program, the submitter must notify all  associated department chairs and associate deans of the change, and they will need to submit the needed change.

如何获得异常?

课程的截止日期是明确的。 However, if your change/addition is required by an outside accrediting body or is required by local industry, you may be able to receive an exception. Please email the current UCC Chair, (and cc Debbie Ferguson) to see if your course or program may warrant an exception.

课程截止日期是什么时候?

课程截止日期将根据课程提案的类型而有所不同。 New programs, program modifications, and program deletions that require a R401 will need additional time for internal reviews as well as outside approvals and are due much earlier. The curriculum webpage has upcoming deadlines and the curriculum timeline process that you can review to know where you should be in the process. 联系 the 课程办公室 with questions.

Once I submit a curriculum item, how can I check where it is in the workflow, and how will I know when it has been fully approved?

经常检查你的课程建议的进度是很重要的。 You can see where your item is by pulling up the particular item in CourseLeaf CIM. In the upper right corner, under “IN WORKFLOW” you can see where your item is in the workflow. Queues shown in green have already approved, the orange shows its current location, the ones in gray have not reviewed the item yet. In addition, ALWAYS read your emails from CourseLeaf CIM. If an item is rolled back, an automatic email is sent to the faculty member listed as the initiator. In this case, you will need to make necessary edits and resubmit. Once your item has been fully approved and processed, you will receive an automatic email notifying you of this. It is the responsibility of the faculty member that submits to monitor their proposals.

什么是大学先修学分(UAS),我的课程需要它吗?

Before students can register for upper-division coursework (3000 or higher), they must qualify for University Advanced Standing (UAS) by:  Completing or being registered for Quantitative Literacy (MAT 1030 Quantitative Reasoning or higher).  And, completing or being registered for ENGL 2010 Intermediate Academic Writing or equivalent. All courses 3000 or higher must have UAS as a pre-requisite. 联系 the 课程办公室 for instructions to submit an exception request.

如果将初级或高级身份添加为先决条件,会对学生产生什么影响?

使用“高级地位”或“初级地位”作为先决条件有一个主要缺点。 A student’s status does not change until courses have been completed (and grades have been issued). That means that if a student is currently in their junior year right now, they can begin to register for fall courses as soon as registration opens in the first of April. However, if they want a course that requires senior status, they will not be able to register for that course until May, after grades come out. This likely means that advisors will have extra work giving overrides to students that ask for it, and students that do not ask will have a delayed registration. So, only select junior or senior status if it is imperative, and it will not adversely affect your students.
