Catalog & Curriculum

The Office of Curriculum and Scheduling publishes the General Catalog and Catalog Addenda, and maintains technical course data and attributes in PeopleSoft. Curriculum forms for proposing new courses, changing existing courses, offering special topics courses, obtaining General Education certification for courses, proposing new programs, and making changes to existing programs are available on this website, as are records documenting the status of these proposals in the University-level curriculum review and approval process.

The Office of Curriculum and Scheduling works closely with three Academic Senate committees: Academic Policy Committee, General Education Committee and University Curriculum Committee.
