University Curriculum Committee

All Committee meetings are held from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. in Brewster B104.

 

Committee Liaisons are intended to be facilitators in the curriculum process, and not an additional approval step. It is essential that liaisons be involved at the beginning of the curriculum process, so that they can maintain an overall sense of what is happening in their unit curriculum-wise, and so that they can steer inexperienced faculty through the steps.
