CREDIT COURSE
ADDITION/DELETION/MODIFICATION
The modification
of an existing course shall be defined as changing the course description,
course number, course title, or lecture-lab distribution. The following process
shall be followed to add a credit course, delete a credit course, or modify a
credit course:
(1) The faculty
member initiating the change develops or revises the syllabus and, where
applicable, the four-semester program plan. The documents are attached to
Curriculum Change form(s) signed by the faculty member. Proposed curriculum
changes should be evaluated by appropriate departmental faculty prior to
submission to the department head.
(2) The
department head completes the Curriculum Change form(s). Where new or revised
courses are part of the proposed change, the department head reviews the
syllabus and ensures that all needed revisions have been made prior to
submitting the documents to the Coordinator of Curriculum.
(3) The Coordinator
of Curriculum distributes the proposed changes to the Curriculum Development
Committee (CDC) for review and approval. If problems are identified by the CDC,
the paperwork is returned to the department head for further revision and
subsequent reevaluation by the CDC. Proposals not approved by the CDC are
returned to the department head; approved proposals are forwarded to the Dean
of Academic Advising, Articulation and Curriculum.
(4) Curriculum
changes approved by the Dean of Academic Advising, Articulation and Curriculum
are submitted to the Vice President of Academic and
Student Affairs.
(5) Curriculum
changes approved by the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs that do
not require TBR approval (Pellissippi State Policies 03:04:01 and 03:04:02) are
distributed to appropriate college offices for administrative processing.
(Original forms routed to the Registrar and subsequently to the Curriculum
office.
(6) Official
copies of approved new and revised courses are placed on the Advising and
Curriculum website.
