The Process

• Proposed changes (program changes, new course proposals, course revisions, etc.) are approved at the department/program level. Honors courses should be approved through the UHC. Then, they:

• Move to the college level. Signed, hard copies of forms go to Farrah Cato (CAH 190k), and electronic copies go to CAHCurriculum@ucf.edu. We review and distribute to the C&S committee. Once approved there, they:

• Move to the appropriate University committee: UPCC (for program changes) or UCRC (for Course Action & Special Topics requests). Once approved there, they:

• Go to Tallahassee for final review.
