Changes to Course Prefixes and Numbers

Proposals with Minor Changes in Course Data 

General Education Committee Policy  

Minor changes in some course data do not have an impact on the general education outcomes (i.e. FLOs). 

The New Procedure (Effective 3-28-2025) : 

When the originator proposes certain minor course level modifications such as:  

Minor changes to course description that do not change the course essence:

• Prefix and Course Number 
• Course Title 
• Grade Method 
• Terms Offered 
• Max Enrollment (Course Cap)

The process would become: 

1. The proposal will be vetted by the General Education Directors.  
2. If affirmative, the proposal will be brought to the UGEC for review and vote.  

General Education needs to be more responsive to our programs and students, as the curriculum is continuously evolving. With less faculty available on some of the subcommittees, the General Education program has a responsibility to expeditiously review proposals. The change in this General Education procedure will facilitate a more responsive approval process.
