Adequate response time is generally considered to be four weeks. A lack of response will be interpreted as an absence of concern. Any stated concerns should trigger immediate dialogue to resolve them within the four-week time frame. Departments should consult the chair of their college curriculum committee for information on specific college deadlines. The basic reporting instruments are the formal minutes of the college curriculum committees.
Curricular changes are to be reported in accordance with the standard format.
Pertinent and related materials should be appended to the copies of the minutes. Proposals for new degrees or majors follow the current Illinois Board of Higher Education format which is given in Section III, Appendix E . Questions on the processes should be addressed to the office of the Assistant Provost for Academic Planning. College curriculum committee minutes are due for consideration in the next appropriate catalog by the CUC by noon on the last Friday in October and by the GCCC by noon on the last Friday in February. Graduate Graduate Council approval is required of all curricular changes at the graduate level.
