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 College/School plan curricular changes for your graduate courses in AY2024-25.

Please note:

For AY2024-25, The final technical review for any course proposals conducted by the Graduate Tech Review Committee is March 3rd, 2025 at 5 p.m. This is to allow sufficient time for review and feedback on proposals as well as processing through the Colleges/Schools in order to be included in the final Graduate Course Review meeting. We cannot guarantee that any proposals submitted after this time will be included in the final GCRC meeting.

The final acceptance of approved College/School Grad Course proposals in Curriculog will be no later than April 1st, 2025, 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 AY2024-25. To allow for sufficient time to review and approval, no exceptions will be made for this firm deadline.

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 or their designee to attend the GCRC meeting, as appropriate. Though we may 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. We encourage units to submit proposals as early as possible. Our Grad Curricular Coordinator offers individual consultation and support for any Curriculog submission (gradcurriculum@unlv.edu).
