Before You Start

It could be helpful to know the following information prior to starting a course change form in Curriculog:

  • Course Number: Ensure number is not currently in use either in the active Catalog or in the Peoplesoft CMS.
  • List Changes: Bulletpoint what changes are being made (ie. Title, Units, Prereqs, etc.) and be sure provide clear rationale for change.
  • Committees: Does the changes made in the course need to go to a review of a certain committee within your college? If you don't know, then it's recommended to get in contact with your college curriculum coordinator.
  • Topics: Is this a Topic Course (Type II or Type III)? This handbook contains an explanation of topic type differences.
  • Prerequisites and or/Corequisites:
    • Is the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) going to be a prerequisite?
    • Are any of the prerequisites/corequisites new courses? Are they being added to the current cycle?
  • Typically Offered: What semester(s) will this new course be typically offered? Spring, Fall, Summer, Winter.
  • Contact Hours Statement: Please indicate if contact hours will be changing. While all contact hour statements are welcome, any offering where the weekly meeting hours exceed the number of units of the course – a contact hours statement is required.
  • Articulation: If the course is lower division, will the changes affect the current articulation? Or if there is no current articulation, will the changes support having an articulation?
  • Replacement: With the changes to the course - will it be replacing another course?
  • Course Fees: If you are looking to change the course fees, you will need to contact your ASM for their procedures related to filling out a "Request to Publish a Course Fee" Form.
