Nuts and Bolts of Curriculum Review - September 16, 2024
This presentation was held on September 16, 2024 via Zoom. Representatives from four university governance committees (GC, GEC, OEMC, and UCC) explained their role in the curriculum review and approval process. There was an interactive question and answer session. PowerPoint slides may be viewed while a copy of the recording is available. For more resources, see newly created "how-to videos" or tutorials on the Sail system.
Key takeaways included:
- We need to ensure that the expectations of the College Curriculum Committees (CCCs) vis-à-vis the University Curriculum Committee (UCC) regarding the procedures for curricular proposal types and curricular action types do not conflict.
- If applicable, each governance committee reviewing a proposal should check for evidence of communication between units and colleges.
- We should have clear guidelines on what “evidence of communication” means in the curricular review process.
- The roles of the College Curriculum Committees (CCCs) and the University Curriculum Committee (UCC) should be delineated.
- We can streamline our curriculum review process by eliminating redundancies and creating efficiencies without compromising quality.
