Before You Start

Aside from the traditional course listing content such as title, prereqs/coreqs, and description, it would be helpful to have these before you start creating a new course in Curriculog:

  • Course Number
    • Ensure the number is not currently in use
    • Historically, the course number cannot have been used for five years. Users with Peoplesoft access will be able to look up historic information related to course numbers.
  • Committees: Does this new course need to go to a review of a certain committee within your college?
  • Topics: Is this a Topic Course (Type II or Type III)? The section for Generic Courses and Topics on the Course Information page describes topic courses.
  • Prerequisities and/or Corequisites
    • Is the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) going to be a prerequisite?
    • Are any of the prereq/coreqs a new course also being added during this cycle?
  • Typically Offered: What semester(s) will this new course be typically offered?
  • Contact Hours Statement: If your course will have atypical meeting practices or will meet for more hours each week then the number of units of the course, a contact hours statement is necessary to inform students.
  • Articulation: If you're creating a lower division course, will the course be articulated for transfer credits?
  • Replacement: Is this new course replacing a previously offered course?
  • Course Fees: If you are looking to establish a new course fee for the course, you'll need to contact your ASM for their procedures related to filling out a "Request to Establish a Course Fee" form.
