University Curriculum Committee

Curriculum committees at the college and university levels will address all matters dealing with major and minor requirements, new courses, new degree and certificate programs, the core curriculum, and program development. All proposals for new degree programs must be consistent with the CSU's mission and must follow the procedures described by the University System Office of Academic Program.

The responsibilities of the University Curriculum Committee are to:

  • Review and make recommendations on all requests to create new courses, modify existing courses, delete courses, and reactivate courses;
  • Review and recommend policies that govern general university requirements;
  • Review and make recommendations on all new undergraduate and graduate degree, certificate, and minor program proposals; and;
  • Notify the CSU SACSCOC Liaison if any curricular initiative represents a substantive change of the type indicated by the chart in the Columbus State University Substantive Change Policy (PDF).

UCC Announcements

As always, UCC meetings are open to visitors. Please email Tim Howard or Suzy Gunnels if you would like to be included on the video conference as a visitor.

UCC members can find a video conference invitation in the calendar invitation.

All proposals are visible in MyCurriculum Programs and MyCurriculum Courses (in MyCSU Faculty/Staff Apps).
