The Graduate College Course Review Committee reviews and recommends approval of graduate-level courses before they are published in the class schedule, Graduate Catalog, or other lists of course offerings. The committee also reviews proposals for all changes to graduate courses, including course deletions. See the Curriculum Changes website for details regarding making modifications to the graduate curriculum.

Schedule of Meetings for Graduate Courses

Please do some early planning and note the following as your School/College plan curricular changes for your graduate courses in AY 2023-24.

Please note:

  • For AY 2023-24, the final acceptance of approved School/College Grad Course proposals in Curriculog will be no later than April 2nd, 2024, at 5 p.m. Any course proposals that have not been forwarded with complete approval signatures in Curriculog to the Graduate Course Review Committee (GCRC) by this time will not be considered for the final Graduate Course Review Committee meeting for AY2023-24. To allow for sufficient time to review and approval, no exceptions will be made for this hard deadline. In alignment with the Faculty Senate curriculum timeline and to comply with institutional standards, please note that there will be no meeting in May this academic year.
  • The final technical review for any course proposals conducted by the Graduate College is March 1st, 2024 at 5 p.m. This is to allow sufficient time for review and feedback on proposals as well as processing through the Schools/Colleges in order to be included in the final Graduate Programs meeting. We cannot guarantee that any proposals submitted after this time will be included in the final GCRC meeting.

The Graduate Course Review Committee typically meets on the second Wednesday of the month from 1-3 p.m. Submission Deadlines indicate that the proposals have received all approval signatures from the unit and at the Graduate Course Review Committee Step in Curriculog. Invitations will be issued to the proposers to attend the GCRC meeting, as appropriate. Though we might be able to approve and create new courses or make course changes in the Curriculog and/or PeopleSoft system after the deadlines below, we cannot guarantee that proposals submitted past these deadlines will be available for the desired semester.

Deadlines for Approved Course Review Forms

Please note the approval deadlines for course forms. Though we might be able to approve and create new courses or course changes in the PeopleSoft system after the deadlines below, we cannot guarantee that approved proposals past these deadlines will be available for the desired semester. Thus, we would encourage submission of forms into Curriculog at least one year in advance of intended courses offering dates.
