Curriculum Committee meetings are open to faculty and staff. Faculty who have submitted course or program materials are strongly encouraged to attend. Other faculty and staff are also welcome. If a faculty or staff member wants to bring an issue before the committee, prearrange to be placed on the agenda with the Chairperson.
Submissions must be made to the committee for approval of course and program design, revision, and deletion using the guidance of EP105 (revision pending). The Curriculum Committee Course Design or Revision form and the Curriculum Committee Program Request form can be found on the portal under the forms tab. (Tip: log onto the portal before clicking links.)
