Deadlines
Curricular proposals may be entered in Modern Campus Curriculum (formerly Curriculog - updating in 2024) at any time during the year. The earlier the proposal has been entered and approved by the Department Chair and Associate Dean, the earlier it can be reviewed by the ICC and implemented.
If your proposal has the potential to create a significant change to University policies or practices or if you are interested in proposing a new program, concentration, or minor, please be sure to talk it over with your Associate Dean and the Vice Provost to gain support before entering/submitting the proposal.

Submitting your proposal(s) by or before the below-listed dates gives you the best chance to make it into the next Projected Catalog Year.
