Instructions for Completing a
Curriculum Change Form--Instructions are for your use only and are not to be submitted with
Curriculum Change Form. Format: Please read the following
information carefully. Correctly filling out the Curriculum Change Form (Blue
Sheet) will facilitate the approval process. The Faculty Senate Curriculum
Committee meets each month during the academic year; September through May.
Any curriculum changes not approved at the May meeting will not be considered
until the following September. The meeting dates, and deadlines for
submitting your materials to the Registrar, can be found at the Faculty
Senate web site http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/facsenate/MeetingDates2010.htm. Type of Change: (MAPP, III, B., link below) [] Be sure to check all categories
that apply. [] All types of changes with an
asterisk require completion of the second page of the blue sheet and a
one-page syllabus outline. [] Any proposal that changes more
than 25% of a program must receive University and State of Connecticut
Department of Higher Education approvals as well as pre-approval from the
Provost. [] A proposal for a new program or a
program revision also requires a Program
Tracking Sheet. [] A course above the introductory
level normally has prerequisites. If yours does not, be sure to convincingly
explain why in the Justification
and/or Where Does This Course Fit Into
The Curriculum. [] If the proposed course is to
replace an existing course, the Registrar’s office will automatically delete
the course being replaced. Course Information: All text boxes must be completed. [] The course title for BANNER need
not be identical to the actual
course title, insofar as words may be abbreviated and/or omitted. The
Registrar's Office can take care of this after final approval. [] If your course requires a lab
fee, in addition to checking the box and listing the fee, please add a line
to the description saying "Lab fee required." Otherwise, the fee
may not be charged Overlap/Impact: Any course content overlapping
with or significantly impacting on the enrollments, offerings, or programs of
another unit (department, school, college, etc.) at the University are said
to overlap and/or impact. If such overlap/impact occurs,
you must contact all chairs, directors, etc. of those programs for which this
may be of concern and, before submission to any committee, try to arrive at
consensus concerning the appropriateness of the proposed action. Attach memos
with explanations/approvals with the blue sheet. If there is any dissent and
you sent the proposal forward, expect the Senate and/or the various
committees to either settle any questions or to return the proposal. Justification for Change: Justification For Change should include all the reasons you feel
this change should be made, e.g., streamlining the major, more depth of study
into an area, etc. Please be specific. Course Description: The Blue Sheet form calls for a
course description EXACTLY as it should appear in the catalog. That means:
course code, course number, course title, number of credits (enclosed within
square brackets), course description, followed by course prerequisites,
laboratory fee (if any). Do not omit any of these--see course catalogue for
correct template. Contact person: Name/phone/email of person to contact
if questions arise about this request. Approval Signatures: Note that the completed
Curricular Change Form, with all attachments, should be signed within the
College by the Department Chair, the College Curriculum Committee, and the
Dean. Only then should these materials be sent (hand delivered, is
recommended) to Nancy Philip, Academic Scheduling Coordinator,

them to the Faculty Senate Office, CC 314, for Senate action. You may
