New Course Proposal (including GEAR/GWAR)
New Course Proposal (including GEAR/GWAR)
To propose a new course, navigate to Curriculog, click on the COURSE: [catalog year] New Course Form, then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
- A course must satisfy a General Education and All-University Requirements (GEAR) area OR a major requirement. In other words, a course that counts only towards a minor or a certificate will likely not be approved.
- If the course will satisfy one or more GEAR areas, prepare and attach the GEAR/GWAR Course Certification Form for each GEAR area satisfied.
- If the course will satisfy a major or minor requirement, you must also submit a separate Program Change Proposal for each program that will utilize this course to indicate toward which program requirements the course will count.
- Course description
- Recommended length: 30 words.
- Omit self-evident content, such as: "in this course", "this course will provide", or "students in this class will".
- Write in the present tense.
- Begin sentences with an active verb (develop, discuss, gain, examine, explore, learn).
- Don't repeat the course title in the description.
- Remember your audience.
- The CSU Chancellor's Office developed a Course Classification System that guides course instruction time, class size, and faculty workload. Refer to this system to determine the most appropriate "C-classification" for the new course.
- Note: A classification of C-78 requires the attachment of a memorandum from the college dean's office approving the requested assigned time received by the faculty teaching this course.
- Determine the appropriate Course Number:
- Select a course number that has never been used before. Check with the Academic Programs office if needed.
- Make sure that the number proposed complies with the University Course Numbering Policy (e.g. X0X - GEAR course, 280 - Special Topics course, 482 - internship course, 692 - Master's Project course).
- Is the course going to be offered in collaboration with another department (cross-listed) or with a course at another academic level (graduate+ undergraduate=co-listed)? Make sure that the course titles, descriptions, numbers, C-classifications, and syllabi comply with the applicable policy below:
- If the course has a Signature Assignment, be prepared to identify the PLO/SLO pairing to which it corresponds and describe how the assignment assesses learning. A Signature Assignment is summarized by an SLO. It is an assignment, activity, project, or exam intentionally designed to collect evidence for the assessment of a specific PLO.
- If you are developing a Service Learning course, the Service Learning "S" Course Designation Form helps you work through the requirements for this designation. You will have to attach this form to the proposal.
- As you develop the syllabus for the proposal, ensure that the syllabus meets the Course Syllabus Policy. Refer to the Syllabus Resources website for additional guidance.

A deleted course CANNOT be reactivated.
Attachments
- Course Impact Report (how to run it) (REQUIRED)
- Communication with Other Departments affected by the proposed suspension/deletion (if applicable)
- If the course in question was required by a program (major, minor, etc.), a course suspension/deletion should be accompanied by a Program Change Proposal that indicates how the major requirements will change.
Program Proposals
Select the type of proposal below to learn how to initiate it, what policies and procedures to follow, what to watch out for, and which attachments to include.
Program Change Proposal
Program Change Proposal
To make changes to an existing major, minor, or certificate, navigate to Curriculog, click on the PROGRAM: [catalog year] Program Change Form, then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
- Generally speaking, program change proposals do not require CSU Chancellor's Office approval or WSCUC's review. However, program name changes, degree designation changes, and concentration suspensions need to be reported to and approved by the Chancellor's Office - this step is coordinated by the Academic Programs office.
- Program Name Change. Enter the new proposed program name in the corresponding field of the proposal and provide the rationale for the proposed change. Review the CSU Chancellor's Office Changing the Title and/or CIP Code of a Degree Program or Subprogram procedure.
- Degree Designation Change (e.g. B.A. changing to B.S.). Provide the rationale for the proposed change. Review the CSU Chancellor's Office Changing CSU Degree Designations procedure. Title 5 minimum requirements for bachelor’s degree:
- minimum number of units in major (B.A.: 24 semester units, B.S.: 36 semester units)
- minimum number of units in upper division (B.A.: 12 semester units, B.S.: 18 semester units)
- Program suspension/discontinuation. If you are suspending/discontinuing a program, prepare a Teach-Out Plan and a Blanket Substitution Advising Plan for the students currently enrolled in this program to ensure that the students have the opportunity to complete the program.
- Multiple changes to a single program should be submitted in a single Program Change Proposal.
- All program changes must be reflected in the Curriculum section of the Program Change Proposal, used to alter the existing catalog copy by adding, removing, and reordering courses, and updating catalog text. To learn how to update the Curriculum portion of the proposal, follow the instructions on the Curriculum (related to Program Changes ONLY) page of the Curriculog training (Humboldt login credentials required). This portion of the proposal acts as the "Catalog Copy with Changes Indicated" attachment.
- In most cases, changes to the program affect the courses the students will have to take to complete the program and/or the order in which they will take these courses. Therefore, updated 2- and 4-year Major Academic Plans (MAPs) are frequently required to be submitted along with the program change. Visit the Registrar's Office MAP Resources website to get MAP templates and learn how to fill them out.
- When adding courses to a concentration, ensure that the concentration-specific unit count does not exceed the core unit count (EO 1071).
- Is your program designated as similar to an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)? If you are not sure, check here. Make sure that the proposed changes do not affect the program's ADT status. Contact curriculum@humboldt.edu if you are not sure how the changes you are proposing will affect the ADT or if you would like to add/remove an ADT.
Examples of Program Changes
- New required or elective courses that count towards program requirements
- New degree requirements
- Any change that will require revision of the catalog description for the program
- Revising curriculum for EO 1071 compliance
- Program name change
- Degree designation change (e.g. B.A. to B.S.)
Attachments
- Catalog Copy with Changes Indicated in the Curriculum part of the proposal form (REQUIRED)
- Revised 4-year MAP(s) (REQUIRED)
- Revised 2-year MAP(s) (REQUIRED)
- Changed Program Learning Outcomes (if applicable; reference: Cal Poly Humboldt Student Learning Outcomes)

- Teach-out Plan for Enrolled Students (for program deletions/suspensions ONLY)
- Blanket Substitution Advising Plan (for program deletions/suspensions ONLY)
New Concentration Proposal
New Concentration Proposal
A CONCENTRATION is a significant subdivision of a major that appears on student transcripts but not on the diploma. An EMPHASIS is a subdivision of a concentration or a major that does NOT appear on student transcripts. These guidelines refer only to formal divisions within the major. Programs may continue to organize curriculum into smaller categories of alternative courses (for example, “select 2 courses from this category” or “take either this group of courses or that group of courses”) without formally naming these groups of courses. In general, majors should not have any named formal subdivisions further than emphases unless those subdivisions are essential to student learning and understanding of their progress through the degree program. (Guidelines on Concentrations within Majors, 11/04/2014).
A CONCENTRATION is a focus within a major program that is less than half of the units in a major program that appears on a student transcript. (Policy Governing Proposed Minors, Academic Credit-Granting Certificates, and Concentrations, 12/2021)
To propose a new concentration for an existing major, navigate to Curriculog, click on the PROGRAM: [catalog year] New Concentration Form, then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
- New concentrations added to existing majors must be approved by the Chancellor's Office. This step is coordinated by the Academic Programs office.
- Use the Curriculum section of the New Concentration proposal to build the catalog structure of required and elective courses for the new concentration. To learn how to use the Curriculum portion of the proposal, follow the instructions on the Curriculum page of the Curriculog training (Humboldt login credentials required). This portion of the proposal acts as the "Catalog Copy" attachment.
- 2- and 4-year Major Academic Plans (MAPs) are required for new concentrations by the Chancellor's Office. Visit the Registrar's Office MAP Resources website to get MAP templates and learn how to create MAPs.
- When creating the new concentration, ensure that the concentration-specific unit count does not exceed the core unit count (EO 1071).
- Is your major designated as similar to an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)? If you are not sure, check here. Make sure that the new concentration does not affect the program's ADT status. Contact curriculum@humboldt.edu if you are not sure how the new concentration you are proposing will affect the ADT or if you would like to add/remove an ADT.
Attachments
- Catalog Copy built using the Curriculum part of the proposal form (REQUIRED)
- Revised 4-year MAP(s) (REQUIRED)
- Revised 2-year MAP(s) (REQUIRED)

New Minor Proposal
New Minor Proposal
A MINOR is a course of study designed to emphasize a disciplinary or multidisciplinary specialty, or area of special interest, for a matriculated student pursuing a bachelor's degree. Minors consist of 12-24 units and offer a sustained course of study that complements academic work. Students are generally prohibited from earning a major and minor from the same degree program. Exceptions can be made in combinations in which:
- at least 9 units required for the minor are not already required for the major. In cases where there are concentrations within the minor or major, a student must take concentrations such that at least 9 units for the minor are not counted towards the major, and
- the major and minor must have different titles. (Policy Governing Proposed Minors, Academic Credit-Granting Certificates, and Concentrations, 12/2021)
BEFORE proposing a new minor, discuss the idea with the Associate Dean and the Vice Provost to ensure there is university support. Unsupported proposals will not be advanced through the Integrated Curriculum Committee review process.
To propose a new minor, navigate to Curriculog, click on the PROGRAM: [catalog year] New Minor / Certificate Form, then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
New minors DO NOT require the CSU Chancellor's Office's approval or WSCUC's review.
Attachments
- Catalog Copy built using the Curriculum part of the proposal form (REQUIRED)
- Evidence of support from Associate Dean and Vice Provost (REQUIRED)
- Program Learning Outcomes (REQUIRED; reference: Cal Poly Humboldt Student Learning Outcomes)

- Memorandum of Understanding with External Entity (if applicable)
- Communications with Other Affected Departments (if applicable)
- Specialty or Discipline-Specific Accreditation Information (if applicable)
New Certificate Proposal
New Certificate Proposal
An academic CERTIFICATE (printed on student transcript) is a cohesive course of study, shorter than a degree program, designed to provide students with training focused to enhance their professional/career opportunities. Academic certificates consist of 6-20 units and are primarily intended for non-matriculated students for the purpose of career enrichment and retraining. Academic certificates can be administered through the College of Extended Education and Global Engagement (CEEGE) but must be "housed" in an academic state-supported department.
Non-academic certificates, such as certificates of participation (NOT printed on student transcript), are administered by and "housed" in the College of Extended Education and Global Engagement (CEEGE). (Policy Governing Proposed Minors, Academic Credit-Granting Certificates, and Concentrations, 12/2021)
To propose a new certificate, navigate to Curriculog, click on the PROGRAM: [catalog year] New Minor / Certificate Form, then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
- New certificates do not require the CSU Chancellor's Office's approval, however, they do require WSCUC's review. Therefore, a copy of the WSCUC Substantive Change Program Screening Form must be submitted with the proposal.
- Review CSU Chancellor's Office Certificates and Certificate Programs document.
- All courses required for the certificate must be offered by Cal Poly Humboldt. Courses offered by other institutions may not be required by the program.
- All courses required by academic certificates must be state-supported and approved by the Integrated Curriculum Committee courses (not CEEGE "X-courses").
Attachments
- Catalog Copy (REQUIRED)
- Evidence of support from Associate Dean and Vice Provost (REQUIRED)
- Program Learning Outcomes (REQUIRED; reference: Cal Poly Humboldt Student Learning Outcomes)

Concentration Elevation Proposal
Concentration Elevation Proposal
To elevate an existing concentration of a major to a standalone degree, navigate to Curriculog, click on the PROGRAM: [catalog year] Concentration Elevation Proposal Form (Chancellor's Office), then click on the checkmark to begin the proposal.
- All concentration elevations must be reviewed and approved by the CSU Chancellor's Office, therefore the Elevating Options and Concentrations to Full Degree Major Programs policy should be carefully followed.
- Because an elevation of an existing concentration means that the concentration itself will be suspended, prepare a Teach-Out Plan and a Blanket Substitution Advising Plan for the students currently enrolled in this program to ensure that the students have the opportunity to complete the program as currently structured if they wish to.
- Updated 2- and 4-year Major Academic Plans (MAPs) are required to be submitted along with the concentration elevation. Visit the Registrar's Office MAP Resources website to get MAP templates and learn how to create MAPs.

Steps to Proposal Approval
Most proposals, after they have been launched and approved by their originator via Curriculog, follow the workflow described below. To see the proposal-specific approval steps, mouse over the decision bubbles below your proposal title.
- The Proposal Originator (frequently the department chair) entered the proposal into Curriculog. In order for the proposal to become visible to other users, the proposal must be launched. In order for the proposal to move to the next approval step in the workflow, the proposal must be approved by the proposal originator.
- Curriculum Analyst Review checks the proposal for missing attachments and administrative completeness. The Curriculum Analyst will reach out to the proposal originator to request missing information if needed. This early review helps ensure that the proposal moves forward with all necessary information submitted.
- The Department Chair reviews and approves the proposal. If changes are required, the chair may reject the proposal and send it back to the originator. The proposal will move to the next approval step once it has been approved by the department chair.
- The College Associate Dean reviews the proposal. If changes are required, the dean may reject the proposal and send it back to the department chair. The proposal will move to the next approval step once it has been approved by the associate dean.
- The Curriculum Analyst and Integrated Curriculum Committee (ICC) Chair review the proposal. If the proposal is complete, they determine which subcommittee to route it to. If the proposal is incomplete or needs clarification, the curriculum analyst sends it back to the associate dean, the department chair, or the originator.
- The Academic Planning and Programs Subcommittee (APP): APP generally handles large packages of changes such as program overhauls, new concentrations, and new program proposals.
OR
The Course and Degree Changes (CDC) Subcommittee: CDC generally handles course changes, new course proposals, and program changes (aside from proposals that contain large-scale changes to a program). CDC subcommittee members work with the department chair on any revisions that might be needed and seek answers to any questions that arise before they recommend the proposal for full ICC approval. - The Integrated Curriculum Committee (ICC): reviews and approves proposals once they have been approved by the APP or CDC subcommittee.
- The University Senate: the majority of proposals appear on the University Senate Consent Calendar and are rarely discussed by the Senate. New program proposals come to the University Senate as resolutions that are voted on by the senators.
- The Vice Provost reviews and approves the proposal.
- IMPLEMENTATION The Curriculum Analyst, the Catalog Editor, and the DARS Programmer make the required changes in the University Catalog, PeopleSoft, DARS, CalStateApply, and the Chancellor's Office Degree Database.
