Requested changes to New Course Proposal Form
version 7/16/2015, for webpage review
Underlined text indicates form sections.
NOTE: This document does not yet reflect all of the instructional text that will be included in the online
version of the form.
Course Information
1. Course Designator/Subject Code: (select from options)
2. Requested Course Number: (select from available options)
Instructional text to read: Course numbers cannot be repeated for use for 6 years. The following
course numbers in this drop down menu are either currently AVAILABLE or shows the date when
they will become available.
3. Long Title:
4. Short Title for Banner:
5. Justification for this Course: Open text field
Instructional text: Please provide justification for this course. Be concise but include sufficient
context for reviewers
6. Degree program with which the course is affiliated: (select from options)
7. Course Catalog Description: (open text)
8. Check if this is a combined undergraduate and graduate course: (check box)
9. “Will this course be cross listed with another designator/subject code?” needs to be a repeating
question in case there are multiple cross listings for that course. The option to add another cross
listed course should appear (see wording below) once the proposer selects that option the first
time so they can add up to three cross listed course designators and subject codes. (If there are
more than 3 cross listings people work directly with APAA)
a. Is there another cross listing?
b. The grey instructions underneath: “Confirm if Parallel Number is Available”: Check box if
parallel course number is available. This is a step confirming that you have checked
availability as described above.
c. Add question if cross-listed course is selected, prompt proposer to answer with open
text box: “Cross-Listed Academic Unit’s Contribution” Instruction text below text box:
“In what way will the cross-listed academic unit contribute to the delivery of the course?
(e.g. facilities, instructors, graduate teaching assistants, etc.)

Requisites
15. Prerequisite/corequisite courses –
 The proposer must individually select (from auto populated dropdown list) all courses that
are prerequisites and corequisites. See example below for all 3 versions of question
language.
1



The prerequisite courses must ask proposer to (1) “Check if this course can be taken
concurrently with the proposed course” and all courses listed as either prerequisites or corequisites must include a minimum passing grade (2) “What is the minimum passing grade?”
(This should have a text box that defaults to D- with the ability to change it to another
grade). Additionally, add the instructions: Minimum passing grade default is D-. If a different
grade is required you may make the change here.
Each time a course is added, there should be an option to add another prerequisite or
corequisite course and answer the same follow up questions. Not sure what the easiest way
to do that is on the technical end, but we envision either an automatic creation of a new
blank entry space or perhaps the proposer is able to select if they have more courses to add.
After all courses have been entered we need an open field where the proposer can fill in the
Boolean logic for the courses.
REQUIRED (ENFORCED) Prerequisite Course(s)
Identify all courses that are mandatory prerequisites for the proposed course.
Subject Code
Course Number
Check if this course can be taken concurrently with the proposed course ☐

Subject Code
AG
Course Number
D-
Minimum passing grade
Minimum passing grade default is D-. If a different grade is required you may make the change here.

Enter the Boolean logic for the course (pre and co) requisites
16. Other Requisites – there will need to be separate questions to ask proposers about other (noncourse) requisites for the course.
a.
Add: “Is a test required?” Yes/No (This will need a drop down menu that includes a list of
all the different test codes and descriptions – OSU can provide this list)
b.
Add open field for “Minimum Test Score”
c.
Add open field for new question: “More Requisites” instructions below: (i.e. list any major
restrictions, class standing requirements, etc.)
Example:
Other Requisites
Identify all other requisites a student must have to enroll in this course.
Is a test required (Yes/No)
If yes:
Test Code & Description
Minimum Test Score
More Requisites
i.e. list any major restrictions, class standing requirements, etc.

button for more details).
Syllabus (this can stay in the same place on the form): UPLOAD SUBMISSION SPACE
The following will be in help text:

Each syllabus must include the relevant Baccalaureate Core category learning outcomes verbatim.

Each syllabus must explicitly identify/label these outcomes as Baccalaureate Core Learning
Outcomes for the category it satisfies.

Each syllabus must include a description that helps students understand the connection between the
course and the Bacc Core Category (e.g. “This successful completion of this course satisfies the
Baccalaureate Core WIC Category requirement for graduation.”)

Within the syllabus, make clear to students how Bacc Core category learning outcomes will be
integrated into the course and assessed.

The syllabus makes it clear that:
o
Individual writing comprises at least 25% of the course grade
o
Students individually write and revise (after feedback) at least 2000 words in formal,
graded writing ~ about 10 pages.
o
Revision of the 2000 word formal writing is required, not optional
o
The total word count for formal writing is at least 4000 words (2000 counted for the
draft and 2000 counted for the final copy)
o
Informal, minimally, or ungraded writing comprises about 1000 words (or enough to
make the total word count at least 5000)
Learning Outcomes and Syllabi
24. Student Learning Outcomes (Non-Baccalaureate Core): (large open text box). Instructions: Please
list all (non-Baccalaureate Core) course-specific student learning outcomes.
25. Is this course going to be a multi-section/multi-instructor course? (Y/N)
26. Upload Syllabi: Need to be able to upload a syllabus for every different type of section the course
has indicated (e.g. Ecampus, Cascades, and Corvallis campuses—as listed in instructions).
7
The functionality we need is for an upload field to be created (and labeled as such) for each of the
different campus locations selected, and then each of those fields must have an upload attached
to them in order for the form to be submitted (required field). A proposal should not go through
without sample syllabi from each of the different campus designations explicitly provided.
Additionally, there should be an option for the proposer to add and describe additional syllabi to
be uploaded. For example, they can select “Upload additional syllabus” (up to 3 times) for an
honors section of the course and should be able to describe that in a text box below the
uploading tool. Other syllabi should be uploaded for any section variation, such as slash courses, Honors
sections, or instruction variability
For example: If a course selects Ecampus and Corvallis campus locations, their syllabus section should
look like this:
Syllabi
Corvallis Syllabus
UPLOAD HERE
A syllabus for this location is required
Ecampus Syllabus
UPLOAD HERE
A syllabus for this location is required
Other Campus Syllabus (Cascades, Hatfield, Eastern)
Add Additional Syllabus (Optional)
UPLOAD HERE
Syllabus description
Other syllabi should be uploaded for any section variation, such as slash courses, Honors sections, or
instruction variability
REPEAT as many times as necessary…
