Curriculum Submission Process

After faculty have completed the steps in the Curriculum Development process, they will initiate new and modified curriculum proposals (including Distance Education courses) in the web-based program CurricUNET Links to an external site..

The curriculum will then be submitted to the appropriate Division Dean’s CurricUNET queue. The Dean will review and either return the curriculum proposal to the faculty member with a request for changes, or take action to forward the proposal to the Technical Review process.

If the Dean’s requests changes, the faculty member will need to make the necessary edits before returning the curriculum proposal to the Dean’s queue.
