UW-L Umbrella Course Topics Form
Please use this form to submit new topics that have never been taught or topics that have been taught
up to twice before under this course number. Be sure to include the course outline and course
objectives.
Topics for umbrella courses can only be offered 3 times before they must become their own
independent course.
Topics for umbrella courses require Department Chair and Dean’s approval, but not UCC/GCC approval.
Submit signed originals on yellow paper to Records and Registration before the timetable deadline for
the semester you would like to offer the topic. Each topic must be submitted on a separate form. Topics
for slash courses (graduate/undergraduate courses) require separate forms for each level. Changes to
grading, component, and number of credits must be made to the regulating umbrella course form in the
curriculum inventory management (CIM) system.
