New courses need to be approved by UCC by March 1 for the Fall term and by October 1 for the Spring term. New program and program versions are effective the corresponding semester of the following academic year after they are passed by the UCC. The UCC has the right to grant exceptions in unique circumstances.

Since the UCC generally meets on the fourth Thursday of the month and since we need to have all proposals in the hands of the UCC's members one week before that Thursday meeting, we must have all proposals two weeks before the meeting date. You may forward your proposals as soon as your college committee approves them, or follow the schedule below for this academic year.
