In addition, when you put any proposal into Curriculog, contact your dean and school curriculum committee and keep them in the loop early.

You can track your proposal through Curriculog and if you find it gets “stuck,” reach out!
Program name changes require approval of faculty governance and the Chancellor’s Office. Submit a program revision form in Curriculog.
The Signature Assignment reflection prompt should be included directly on the GE paperwork. It should also be a specific prompt. For UD GE courses, there must be a reflection that includes lower division coursework in that GE area.
A course is checked in Curriculog as repeatable only if the course can be taken multiple times for additional credit (units) counted towards the degree.
Repeating courses to earn a better grade falls under the Course Repeat Policy and any additional departmental requirements.
Please see the Curriculum Deadlines. These deadlines are set to ensure approval prior to the release of the next semester's schedule. Proposers should include time for two readings at each committee review step to determine when the proposal should be launched in Curriculog. Extensive program revisions, degree title changes, and new programs require additional approval by the Chancellor’s Office and sometimes WASC. New programs also require the addition of the degree to the campus Academic Master Plan in the year prior to submission of the proposal.
Per the approved GE curriculum, all UD GE courses have the following prerequisites: Completion of GE Golden Four (1A, 1B, 1C, 2) with a C- or better and completion of lower division (2, 3, 4 or 5) coursework and at least 45 units.
The choice of lower division 2, 3, 4 or 5 course work should match the UD area proposed. Additional prerequisites require a unique circumstance justification based on similar courses taught at other CSUs, community colleges, or in the discipline.
Per the GE Subcommittee, notification that signature assignments will be collected and submitted to the campus for GE assessment should be placed directly on the signature assignment. The GE learning outcomes addressed by the signature assignment should also be included. Please see additional signature assignment requirements and tips.
Concentrations are printed on the diploma and transcript.
A track (pathway, emphasis, option) provides students with a specific set of coursework that aligns with their interests, but are not reflected on the diploma or transcript.
A subplan is any subprogram (track or concentration) that a student declares in pursuit of their degree.
A curriculum revision and program revision refer to changes in a program (major, masters, certificate, credential, or minor). If the courses you are adding, deleting, or revising are part of a change to a program, then check the box, “Is this part of a curriculum revision?” on the Curriculog course form.
A course revision is any change to a specific course.
Attached syllabi should meet all the requirements of the SSU Syllabus Policy.
For GE courses, a description or link to the GE mission and the GE learning outcomes must be included. The GE Subcommittee requests that language indicating the signature assignment be collected and submitted for SSU assessment and also be included for student notification. The signature assignment should be clearly indicated on the course syllabus.
All boxes on the GE paperwork must be completed. At least one example of how each learning outcome or content criteria area is met should be provided directly on the paperwork. References to the syllabus are not detailed enough, will require additional modification and slow progress toward proposal approval.
