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).
- Credits are changing and/or the change impacts program(s):
- Credits change: You’re changing the credit hours of the course.
- Program Impact: Your change affects one or more programs (corresponding program proposal is required).
- 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:
- Minimal Course Change: If the course remains equivalent, credit hours stay the same, and no programs are impacted, please complete the Course Change Form (Minimal) 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 course. 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.
