Creating a New Course<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New courses<\/strong>: All new courses require approval by the appropriate Faculty Council(s). Contact information can be found on iMpact here<\/a>. Please send all materials directly to the Faculty Council chair(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructors should obtain Departmental Chair approval and submit a completed Course Proposal<\/a> form along with documentation outlining the proposed course content (syllabus, cases, readings) along with an explanation for how the course fits into the school’s overall curriculum. Instructors are encouraged to discuss any possible course material overlap with existing courses with those instructors and\/or department. Include in the proposal information for how the courses differ or indicate that coordination between instructors will reduce overlap of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experimental to Regular Course Approval<\/strong>: If approved, new courses are typically approved first as “Experimental” for one or two offerings. Prior to being offered again, the course must be reviewed by the Faculty Council(s) again – requesting either additional “experimental” offerings, or to be approved as a “regular” course in the curriculum.  Instructors should include the course syllabus and readings\/cases as well as enrollment and course evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to Already Existing Courses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n

Title\/Description Changes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Minor course title\/description changes do not need Faculty Council approval. Instructors should obtain the approval of their Department Chair, and then contact\u00a0the Ross Registrar’s Office<\/a>\u00a0with the updated information. Typically, changes of less than two sentences that do not impact the purpose of the course <\/strong>would be considered minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
