The Senate of Michigan Technological University

COURSE CHANGE POLICY
(Proposal 2-75)


Senate Policy 303.1
Coordinating Procedures 301.1.1

 

I. PURPOSE OF PROCEDURE

The intent is to make explicit and generally understood the means whereby course changes are accomplished. The rationale is as follows:

  1. The procedures for course changes should be such as to facilitate curricular modification to meet the needs of a rapidly changing body of knowledge.

  2. Course content and relevance are best evaluated by the academic departments originating a course change.

  3. A course may be evaluated after it has been taught.

 

II. TYPES OF CHANGES

Course additions, deletions, and revisions referred to here are those which customarily have been reviewed by the University Curriculum Committee. They exclude minor changes in catalog copy which are accomplished by departments directly. Also excluded are changes in degree programs.
