To be entered into the 2012-2013 Academic Catalog, the deadline for submitting curricular proposals to the appropriate senate committees is 10 January 2012. Proposals submitted after this deadline will still be acted upon by the senate but under most circumstances will appear in the following year's catalog.
A note of clarification: proposals need not be approved by faculty senate by the deadline above; rather, they simply need to be routed by that date to one of the three senate-level curriculum committees: Graduate Studies (for graduate programs/courses); Honors Committee (for Honors courses); or Curriculum Committee (for most other programs/courses).
In order to be entered into the catalog, proposals must receive senate approval by the March 13th meeting.
