Minimal Course Change

 

Use this form ONLY IF your course change meets ALL of these criteria:

  • Equivalence: The new course is equivalent to the old course (i.e., students cannot earn credit for both).
  • There is no impact to any programs.
  • You are not changing the course credits.
  • You are not changing the course number or subject (see Substantial Course Change below).

If your course change doesn’t meet the above criteria, use a different form:

  • Moderate Course Change: If the course change impacts any program and/or you are changing the course credits, please complete the Course Change Form (Moderate) instead of this form.
  • Substantial Course Change: If the course content changes significantly and/or you are changing the course number or subject, you’ll need to create a new course and drop the old one. Typically the old and new course content differs substantially enough that it is appropriate to award a student credit for completing the new course in addition to credit they earned for completing the previous version of the course.​​​​​​​
    • This requires two separate proposals. Please complete the Course Drop Form and the New Permanent Course Form.
