Use this form to report curricular and policy actions that do not require extensive review
by committees prior to implementation. Such actions may include editorial revisions to
course descriptions, changes in the schedule of offering, and revisions to bring a course or
courses into agreement with other actions of a more substantial nature that received full
review and approval. For any changes in course content, the REVISED COURSE form should
be used.
Changes in credit hours within a degree program usually require a REVISED PROGRAM form
because this information must be reported to the Department of New York State Education,
but there are exceptions.
You may use one form for multiple actions only if the actions are of similar or identical
intent and have the same rationale.
The proposal number has three parts: (1) the first two to four letters (HS, HSHP) are an
abbreviation of the school/division; (2) the middle numbers are the current academic year
(0607); and, (3) the dean’s office assigns the last few numbers which usually begin with
001and go in sequence for each academic year. Decimal points may be used for the
purpose of grouping proposals (e.g., HSHP-0607-001.01).
