View the Academic Policies & Procedures (AP&P) and Curriculog Manual

  1. Complete all supporting attachments (e.g. updated syllabi) in a Word document so they can be uploaded in the Curriculog system to accompany the proposal. If a syllabus is amended, any changes to existing documents should be noted as follows:
    • "Insertions" should be noted in blue font.
    • "Deletions" should be noted with a red strike-through.
    • "Moves" should be noted in green font.
  2. Make sure the following link to the Syllabi Policy and Statement Information from the Academic Affairs is included on every syllabi: academicaffairs.appstate.edu/resources/syllabi-policy-and-statement-information.
  3. If there will be a creation of a new Program of Study and or changes to a current Program of Study, contact Diana Nelson (nelsondj@appstate.edu). She will create the document for submission in the Curriculog system.
  4. All curriculum proposals and attachments should be submitted in the Curriculog system using the guidelines found in the manual (linked above). Log into Curriculog and select the tab "All Proposals." Select the category of proposal from the provided list. This will take you directly to the automated course form for completion.
  5. The proposals will be reviewed by the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) Curriculum Subcommittee to review. A department/program representative will need to attend the subcommittee meeting to answer any questions that might arise. You will be contacted by the subcommittee chair regarding attendance.
  6. Following review by the subcommittee, proposals for CAS Council will be posted to the CAS Council Curriculum Proposals Google Folder and summaries will go out with the agenda five days before the CAS Council meeting.
  7. For changes to only the semester offering of a course, please follow the directions outlined below: 
    • The faculty member requesting semester offering changes uses this Excel Spreadsheet template to list courses.
    • The faculty member emails the spreadsheet to their Department Chair for approval.
    • The Department Chair forwards the request by email to their Dean's Office (in most cases this is the Associate Dean).
    • Upon approval, the Dean’s Office forwards the email to semesterofferings@appstate.edu.
    • The email will automatically go to the Registrar's Office which will make the changes in Banner and to the Undergraduate Bulletin, the Bookstore for textbook rental purposes, Graduate School for Graduate Bulletin changes, the AP&P agenda administrators to record changes as an FIO, and to General Education.
    • The agenda administrator for each AP&P Committee will post the semester offering changes on their Curriculog agenda/minutes as an FIO to record the information. 
  8. Following approval at CAS Council, proposals will be routed through other Councils (General Education, Council on Professional Education, Honors Council, Undergraduate AP&P, Graduate AP&P) as needed. A department/program representative will need to attend the various Council meetings to answer any questions that may arise. You will receive an email reminder of those dates. 
  9. Undergraduate AP&P has an AsULearn site where all submitted proposals will be posted for AP&P review. If you have proposals for the upcoming AP&P meeting, you will be added to the AP&P listserv for the time between the submission of your proposals and the meeting. You will be expected to address any questions or concerns that are raised on the AsULearn Forum. Additionally, you will be expected to send a department/program representative to the AP&P meeting to answer any questions that may arise.
