 Proposed changes (program changes, new course proposals, course
revisions, etc.) are approved at the department/program level.
Honors courses should be approved through the UHC. Then, they:
 Move to the college level. Signed, hard copies of forms go to Trisha
Farmer (CAH 190F), and electronic copies go to
CAHCurriculum@ucf.edu. We review and distribute to the C&S
committee. Once approved there, they:
 Move to the appropriate University committee: UPCC (for program
changes) or UCRC (for Course Action & Special Topics requests).
Once approved there, they:
 Go to Tallahassee for final review.

The Process:
Program changes appear in the catalog
the year after they are approved; UC2 is
the first step of this process.

◦

In UC2, approved users will review and edit catalog copy,
upload rationale (a program change memo) for changes,
and submit programs to the college level.
Program Recommendation Forms are the
other part of this process.


Changes made to courses appearing in a
program will need to be approved by the UCRC
before the program changes are given final
approval.
You must submit a memo even if you are only
making cosmetic changes.

Send electronic & hard copies of all program
change documents to CAH:
◦ Program change memo
◦ Signed program recommendation form
◦ Catalog copy (“Comparison Document” in UC2)

Estimated deadline for next round of catalog
changes (for the 2015-16 catalog): October 2014
◦
Due to CAH transition, GEP changes, and transition of
undergraduate audits from DARs to PeopleSoft there will be no
major program revisions for this upcoming year.
◦
Start planning now:
◦

Plan your changes carefully since program revisions must
remain in place for a minimum of two years (excluding
extenuating circumstances)

Meetings with Delia, Ashli, Trisha, and Lynn as needed
