Familiarize yourself with the University Faculty Senate Course Procedures.
Have your consultation list in place prior to creating the proposal in the cim.psu.edu system.
Prepare your proposal in the Course Management form.
- Ensure your course objectives match up to the correct number of weeks (typically 15 weeks) and evaluation methods should add up to 100% of the grade.
- Ensure your vision is explained clearly and persuasively.
- Ensure that your content describes what the course is about.
- If this is a Gen Ed Course, visit the guidelines at Office of General Education.
Wait for other parties to complete their reviews:
- The formal consultation individuals will have 2 weeks to review the proposal. At the end of the 2-week review, the proposal can move forward for college review.
- The system will notify the initiator when there is a non-concurrence. It is the responsibility of the initiator to respond to the non-concurrence before the proposal can move forward. (A non-concurrence re-starts the 2-week consultation period and could happen multiple times.)
- A non-response turns to concur at the end of two weeks.
- After the 2-week consultation period, you will receive a notification to advance the proposal.
