Official Curriculum Records of the University:
The official curriculum record of the university is maintained in the Provost's Office. Only curriculum offerings in these files are considered official offerings of the university.
Following approval of a curriculum item (course or program revision), the item is recorded, filed and, in the case of course records, maintained in the computerized curriculum record. No additions, deletions or changes are made to these records unless the item is first approved at all required levels.
The curriculum record is the basis for informing and verifying official status of curriculum offerings both within the university and with agencies outside of the university, such as UW System Administration or accrediting agencies.
Other Records of Curriculum:
Records of all curriculum offerings are to be maintained within the offices officially designated to house the offerings. Departments are charged with maintaining complete course outlines of every approved course housed in the department. An outline, once approved, is not to be changed unless routed through the required approval process for a course revision.
Degree program records of approved programs are to be maintained in the office of the dean and/or program director responsible for the program. The same offices are also responsible for publishing the program plan sheets used by the students in the programs. No revisions may be made to a program unless the revision is approved at all required levels.
Minors and other sequences not part of a degree program are housed in colleges and may be housed, as determined by the college, in a department for implementation and maintenance.
