New Course Proposal/
Change in Course Title or Hours
INSTRUCTIONS: For new courses, fill out New Course Information, answer questions 1-6, 8 and 9 and attach syllabus. For changes in title,
description, or credit hours, fill out Previous Course Information, indicate changes in New Course Information, and answer question 7. Changes
in course number should be treated as a new course proposal, indicating previous course in the Equivalent Course field and in question 4.
Include signatures of department head or director and dean of academic unit. Submit form to Associate Provost for Graduate Studies for 4000
and above level courses or Associate Provost for Undergraduate Academic Programs for 3000 level and below. Signatures from both
Associate Provosts are required for 3000-level classes that are eligible for either undergraduate or graduate credit. Syllabi for 3000-level
courses eligible for graduate credit must include distinct graduate-level course requirements that demonstrate the rigor of a true graduate
academic experience as measured by quality rather than quantity or length of assignments. A copy of the form will be returned to the
department when the course has been processed by the Office of the Registrar. The form may be routed via e-mail. The completed form must
be sent from a valid DU e-mail address to registrar@du.edu. For questions about the form, call 303.871.4795. This form and detailed
instructions may be obtained from www.du.edu/registrar (check the website for updated forms as changes may be made without notice).
Please, do not write in the header or margins of this form.
