Best Practices and Helpful Tips
1. The Originator should be the course proposer.
This is the person responsible for the course content and who will address the approval committees. There is no way to change the name of the
Originator at this time.
2. Cross-listed courses are dual-level, dual numbered courses.
If dual-level, the Undergraduate course is the Parent. Create the UG parent first, then cross-list to the Graduate copy, fill in the differentiated
data (such as course number, graduate objective, graduate evaluation), and then launch the proposals.
3. Copy and paste plain text only.
Add formating in the WYSIWYG box. (Formatted attributes will not copy.) Save your existing document as a text file and copy/paste.
4. The tracking option illustrates changes for reviewers after the proposal is launched and edited.
When updating text data (such as course objectives, outline), first import existing, “old” text and then launch the proposal with ONLY the
old/original information. Go back to edit the proposal or add the new, updated text.
5. A helpful tip during these first months of learning the system:
Attach/upload your curriculum proposal in Word or PDF.
