Curriculum Revision Approval Policy
Policy:
Curriculum revision approval process.
Rationale:
To facilitate an institutional approval process for all curriculum
revisions. The decision to develop and propose curriculum revisions is and
will remain a department and school responsibility. The intent of the
policy is to ensure approval from the Office of the Provost on all proposed
curriculum revisions.
The process will also facilitate a centralized database accounting for curriculum revisions. A centralized database accounting mechanism for curriculum revisions is essential to more accurately reflect programmatic activities and record credit hour generation. The fiscal implications of curriculum revisions resulting in credit hour increases or decreases are often significant and require careful assessment of institutional impact. The Curriculum Revision Request Form defines the proposed curriculum modifications and credit hour fiscal considerations resultant to the proposed revision(s).
Process:
All proposed curriculum revisions by departments and schools must include
the respective Dean’s signature and be submitted, electronically as
well as a hard copy, to the Office of the Associate Vice President
for Academic Affairs on the Medical College of Georgia Curriculum Revision
Request Form. All submitted requests must include the academic program’s
entire existing and proposed curriculum reflecting the requested changes.
Submitted curriculum information should include course names, numbers and
credit hours in a format similar to those found in the MCG catalog (http://www.mcg.edu/catalog/).
Only the documentation and information requested should be submitted.
The Vice President for Academic Affairs will verify the request form is complete and any pertinent documentation included. The Director of Business Operations will compile the fiscal considerations of the proposed curriculum change.
Once verification is complete, the request form will be forwarded to the Office of the Provost for approval. Following approval by the Provost, the Office of the Registrar will complete the official curriculum revision(s). The respective schools will be notified of all actions.
