To: College Associate Deans, Associate University Librarian, Director of the Honors College
From: Office of Undergraduate Studies
Subject: Curriculum Consultation Response Procedure and Form
Procedure:
As part of the campus’s effort to move toward a curricular process that reduces the amount of
paper, we request that the administrative units responsible for submitting curricular proposals to
the Office of Undergraduate Studies implement the following procedure for curriculum
consultation.
When a curricular proposal is submitted by a department or program to their respective
administrative unit, the appropriate administrator of that unit will forward the proposal
electronically to the Associate Deans, the Associate University Librarian, and the Director of the
Honors College. Those individuals will communicate to the initiating administrative unit the
names of any department(s) or programs in their college or unit with whom the proposers must
consult before this proposal is approved in the initiating unit. If no consultation in their
administrative unit is needed, then that assessment would be communicated to the initiating
administrator.
If consultation is required, the administrator of the initiating unit will send the proposal
electronically to the departments and programs with whom it is asked to consult. If any
objections are raised, an attempt to negotiate the differences should be made before approval is
given by the initiating administrative unit. Whatever the outcome of these negotiations, the
record of consultation form below and any reports or objections become parts of the proposal
forwarded to the Executive Secretary of the Educational Policy Committee should the proposal
be approved by the curriculum committee of the initiating administrative unit.
Form:
Please use the consultation form on the following page to record the responses of colleges,
divisions, schools, departments, programs, and the library to any course or program curricular
proposals that your administrative unit is submitting (you may add rows as necessary) and attach
the completed form to the appropriate proposal. If all the responses to a related set of proposals
are identical, you may report the results on a single form, and then attach a copy of that
completed form to each proposal that is being submitted. If any of these administrative units
have indicated they have objections or desire that further consultation occur on a particular
proposal, on the consultation form to be submitted for that proposal, indicate their responses and
attach any statements of concern or objections.
