In addition to a course number, some courses have an additional number or letter listed after the course number, preceded by a period. This is called a course modifier and is used to distinguish specific topics or subject areas of a course. Like the course number, the course modifier is assigned by the Assistant to the Registrar. If you have not already been assigned a specific course modifier and need one contact the Assistant to the Registrar. Indicate the originating academic division for the proposed course.
Temporary approval permits the course to be taught for one full academic year only.
The Registrar s Office needs a point of contact within the department or program if questions should arise. Depending on the type of proposal submitted it may take an extended period of time to obtain approval. During that time it may be necessary to contact the department or program for further information. Explain why the course under consideration should be either added to university curriculum or revised. Often this can be done in a single sentence, but if it is a more complicated situation, explain the situation so that Curriculum Committee members who are not familiar with your situation will better understand.
