Sought concurrence from the following Fiscal Units or College
If the content of your course includes, in substantive ways, topics and interests related to those in other units you will need to pursue Concurrence from those units. This often takes the form of either a letter from the Dean, Department Chair or Director of the outside unit(s).
Append to the course form as an attachment letters of support or concern, or a Departmental Course Review Concurrence Form for each unit.
Of particular note are course requests which include: computing, computer programming, statistics, leadership development, and the environment. Additional information is available in the Academic Organization and Curriculum Handbook.
Course Requests Which Include Principles of Computing and Computer Programming
Any department or college proposing a new course that includes principles of computing and programming elements will be required to consult with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering to see if CSE has a course that will serve the purpose or can develop such a course. Such courses will be approved only if it can be demonstrated that CSE has been fully consulted and that CSE cannot provide a suitable course.
Normally such courses outside of CSE, if approved, will be approved for a three‑year period. After that time they will be re‑evaluated to see if CSE has developed an adequate substitute course. If CSE has developed an adequate substitute by that time, then the original course will be canceled. If not, then the original course will become a permanent course.
