Course Review and Approval Guidelines

.
I.  Introduction

.
The Course Review and Approval Guidelines which follow were developed by a special task force during the 1978-79 academic year, reviewed by College councils, and approved by the President’s Council and President Romberg for implementation in the fall semester of 1979.

In 1990 new guidelines concerning the cross-listing of courses were added. These new guidelines were endorsed by the Council of Academic Deans and approved by Vice President Boxer on August 22, 1990.

The guidelines were revised in May 1991 to include a section on cross-listed courses and to incorporate the Academic Senate policy that provided Guiding Principles For Review And Approval Of New Or Revised Courses and mandated final adjudication of course disputes by a faculty committee (see Academic Senate Policy S91-170, Section VII).

The guidelines were reviewed in fall 1997 and were updated to include the Academic Senate Policy S90-126 (Paired Courses). The section on the College of Extended Learning (Summer, Winter, or Contract Courses) was rewritten to incorporate the revisions to Extended Learning courses. A section on the College of Extended Learning (CEU courses) was also added. Modifications were made to the Consultation and Appeal Process.
