4.1.2 Course Proposals For Undergraduate and Graduate Courses

All proposals for creation, revision, or deletion of curriculum originate at the program or department/school level. Programs and departments/schools are responsible for their own curricula, subject to the approval of department/school curriculum committees (if applicable), department faculty in the case of non-IDS departmental programs, interdisciplinary program faculty in the case of IDS programs, and college- and university-level curriculum committees which may include the Council for Teacher Education and/or the Council on General Education.  In some instances, the Academic Senate and the Board of Trustees and/or the Illinois Board of Higher Education may also be required to approve the curricular proposal. Individuals outside a program or department/school may make suggestions but, except as described in Policy 4.1.9 Disestablishment of Academic Units, these are recommendations only.
