Annual Curriculum Binder Process - Course, Course Fee and Degree Change Proposals

If your department has an emergency course change outside of the normal course proposal process timeline (submitted with your department Course and Curriculum Binder in early fall each year)or any questions regarding the process, contact Helene Hiner in the Provost’s Office. Please be aware that late proposals will be processed as quickly as possible but may miss print dates for scheduling or catalog web and print publication.  Late proposals that are approved will be available for the next student scheduling session. A general guide for the binder process with a timeline for the current year is available at the Registrars website:

Course Fee Budget Forms

Student basic access computing fee requests are now handled outside the Curriculum Binder process.  Computing-related course fee requests should be included in the Curriculum Binder process just as non-computing lab fee requests are. Fees (or portions of fees) that are related to computing should be identified in the requests.

These forms are used by the Provost during the fee approval process associated with the Course and Curriculum Binder:

Course Lab Fee Annual Budget Sheet Template.xls  New 2005 Budgets are required for each course lab account/course lab as an attachment to the fees section of the course and curriculum binder.  This is an Excel template to place several course fee budgets on one sheet.  Use as many sheets as needed and insert in the Course and Curriculum Binder – fees section.

The CAC Student Fees Subcommittee itemized the Allowable Expenses for computing course and access fees (by major) in this link. This link is the original 1993 CAC Lab Fee Policy document.
