For many years, the Curriculum Team has had in its bylaws that proposals must be submitted to the Academic Effectiveness Manager two weeks prior to the meeting date. Recent history has seen that deadline being more fluid. Because of this, proposals have not been submitted to team members within the Shared Governance Council guidelines.  Starting with the February meeting, the two-week deadline will be enforced. That means that for the Feb. 24 meeting, proposals must be launched by the originator, go through assessment review and department review, and be to Step 4 Transfer Coordinator (Elaine Guthals) by Feb. 10. If proposals are not at Step 4, they will not go on the meeting agenda.  It is the originator’s responsibility to track the proposal by clicking on the icon that looks like a C with an ! in it to ensure approvals are moving through the process as expected. If you have any questions, contact the Office of Academic Effectiveness.
