LAS CURRICULUM CHANGES

Fairmount College Curriculum Committee Governance Definition

LAS Curriculum Change Process:

1. Departments submit completed change forms, with supporting documents, to the LAS Dean's Office.  Send one original hard-copy via campus mail OR electronically via email to candice.weathers@wichita.edu.

• Curriculum forms 
• Instructions for completing an LAS curriculum change form
• How to check for course status
• Key to course descriptions - UG catalog, pg 213; GR catalog, pg 173
• Moving forms through the process
• Signature page - scan and send via email with form or send separately via campus mail.

2. LAS Dean's Office reviews submitted forms and prepares copies for distribution.

3. LAS Curriculum Committee meeting called - minimum of 3 forms required to call a meeting.

• Forms submitted less than one week prior to a scheduled committee meeting may be held until the next meeting to allow adequate time for distribution and review of all relevant forms.

4. Committee approved forms forwarded to next appropriate committee by LAS Dean's Office.

• When submitting change forms, please be mindful of catalog deadlines.
• A change form must be through all appropriate committees, approved by the Provost's Office, and to the Catalog Editor by December 9, 2011 in order to be included in the 2012-2013 undergraduate and graduate catalogs.
• In some cases, a change form can take up to 4 weeks to make it through the full process.  Changes submitted after November 4, 2011 can not be guaranteed to make it through the process by the catalog deadline.
• The LAS College Curriculum Committee will do its best to process forms in a time manner; however, we have no control over how quickly forms move after leaving the Dean's Office.
