Information for Faculty Proposing GE Courses

Course Proposals

The General Education Committee (GEC) invites course proposals from 爆料社区 faculty. To ensure a smooth review process, faculty are advised to first consult with their Department or Program Chair. Subsequently, and prior to formal submission, faculty are strongly encouraged to engage with their designated GEC representative. This consultation offers invaluable guidance, providing context on successful GE course approvals within the relevant area and highlighting any pertinent requirements. Comprehensive proposal materials are outlined below:

The Course Approval Process

Faculty submit completed GE course forms and syllabi in (located under the "Courses" tab).  Please note that if this is a new course, it simultaneously goes through the traditional course approval process via the University Curriculum Committee (UCC). Generally speaking, courses are reviewed in GEC in the order they come in.  In many cases, a course can be reviewed during a single GEC meeting.  In other cases, it may take multiple meetings, especially in cases in which the proposal was not complete (e.g., missing a syllabus), did not have appropriate signatures (e.g, from the department chair or other departments potentially impacted by the course), or the information provided in the narrative was insufficent for a complete review. To avoid multiple iterations of course proposals, faculty are strongly urged to get feedback from their GEC representative or the GEC chair ahead of time.

Once a course is submitted, its progress can be monitored through the Approval Process steps in Curriculog. Additional information on the course proposal process (including deadlines) can be found on the Academic Programs website.
