5. The Process • Proposed changes (program changes, new course proposals, course revisions, etc.) are approved at the department/program level. Honors courses should be approved through the UHC. Then, they: • Move to the college level. Signed, hard copies of forms go to Trisha Farmer (CAH 190F), and electronic copies go to CAHCurriculum@ucf.edu. We review and distribute to the C&S committee. Once approved there, they: • Move to the appropriate University committee: UPCC (for program changes) or UCRC (for Course Action & Special Topics requests). Once approved there, they: • Go to Tallahassee for final review.

6. Course Approval Process • Course Action Request (CAR) and Special Topics (ST) forms • Completing the forms: the checklist. • Required documents – CAR, syllabus, and email correspondence with other units (if applicable) • UC2 requirements for syllabi • Texts/Readings/Books • Objectives/Outcomes • Topics

10. Honors courses • Honors Courses: • Must be approved by BHC/UHC before submitting to CAH. • Team-taught seminars: syllabi & forms must be identical; must be approved together • Honorized courses: Honors content must be clearly labeled on syllabus • On CAR/ST: Include “Consent of Honors” (in prerequisites) and “With Honors content” (in course description) • Also include “Honors” in the title.

15. Program Changes The Process: • Program changes appear in the catalog the year after they are approved; UC2 is the first step of this process. • In UC2, approved users will review and edit catalog copy, upload rationale (a program change memo) for changes, and submit programs to the college level. • Program Recommendation Forms are the other part of this process.

20. Program Changes (cont.) • Changes made to courses appearing in a program will need to be approved by the UCRC before the program changes are given final approval. • You must submit a memo even if you are only making cosmetic changes.

21. Program Changes (cont.) • Send electronic & hard copies of all program change documents to CAH: • Program change memo • Signed program recommendation form • Catalog copy (“Comparison Document” in UC2)

22. Catalog Updates • Estimated deadline for next round of catalog changes (for the 2015-16 catalog): October 2014 • Due to CAH transition, GEP changes, and transition of undergraduate audits from DARs to PeopleSoft there will be no major program revisions for this upcoming year. • Start planning now: • Plan your changes carefully since program revisions must remain in place for a minimum of two years (excluding extenuating circumstances) • Meetings with Delia, Ashli, Trisha, and Lynn as needed • Program Recommendation Forms: http://www.undergraduatestudies.ucf.edu/faculty/upcc, under the “Forms” section
