University Curriculum Committee

The University Curriculum Committee is a body that is responsible for evaluating new and revised curriculum proposals that affect the Illinois State University undergraduate curriculum as follows:

New and revised majors, minors, sequences and any courses that are required within are reviewed and approved by the University Curriculum Committee.
Stand-alone courses are reviewed and approved by the Executive Secretary of the Committee.
Editorial changes are reviewed and approved by the Executive Secretary of the Committee.

The Committee's work is directed by the Baccalaureate Degree Document (PDF 42KB).

The University Curriculum Committee, in conjunction with the Office of the University Registrar, has created new undergraduate on-line proposal forms for New, Revised, and Deleted Courses and Programs, and Temporary and Professional Practice Courses. The UCC encourages proposal initiators to use these new electronic forms. The “old forms” will still be available for a short transition period. New proposal forms can be accessed at: https://www.registrar.ilstu.edu/curriculumforms/

For more information on the new proposal process, see the New On-line Curriculum Proposal Process here.

The Committee's policies, procedures and forms are available on-line.

On March 24, 2004, the Academic Senate approved a form as an addition to the new program approval process. This form, request for new program approval (PDF 92KB) , verifies that the financial implications of any new program have been examined and that resources are available for the implementation of the program proposed. Please complete this form for all new programs and submit it as you would all other forms relevant to the approval process.

Curriculum proposals circulate for a two-week period to provide opportunities for review by the campus community. Objections to any proposals must be received by the University Curriculum Committee no later than two weeks following the date of circulation.

The Undergraduate Catalogs (External Link) from Academic Year 1994-95 to the present are available on-line.
