The Catalog QuartetThere are three parts:

2. NarrativeRUTH

3. Degree Requirements* TIFFANY/LEE

*The undergraduate catalog degree requirements will also be edited by academic counselors who will contact department chairs if questions arise.

The Catalog is a historical record of all the courses that

SPU has offered and is currently offering is the foundation of the Banner Student

System is the base on which we build the Time

Schedule, which allows us to register and grade students

defines the rules for all courses is our contract with students for curriculum

rules

I: Course Information Course changes can only be made during

Autumn quarter

Course changes become effective in Summer of the next academic year

Submit your changes to Kay, who will then forward as necessary to *UPEC or *GPEC for reporting or approval, via Ruth.

*Undergraduate Policy Evaluation Committee**Graduate Policy Evaluation Committee

I: Course Information You will receive a report that lists every active

course your department has in Catalog.

Review the information, and send the report AND signed catalog course forms to Kay.

99% of all changes require a Course Change Form, with department chair AND dean’s signature.

Minor changes to wording in the course description can be written on the report.(The Highlighted Yellow portion in the next slide)

Test Your Knowledge: Which of these changes requires a catalog course form?

Answer: All prerequisite changes require a signed catalog course form.

Making Changes to Equivalent Courses? Please Note!

Example: If a change is made to PSY 2360 by the Psychology department, the change will not be automatically applied to SOC 2360. It is up to the individual department to communicate this change with each other, as well as SAS.

Courses Used By Other Departments

If another department is using your course in their program, be sure to notify them if you change the number or discontinue the course.

Ideally this needs to be

communicated before the 1st round is due so that they can update their Catalog copy.

Test Your Knowledge: What two signatures are always required on a catalog course form prior to submission to SAS?

Department Chair and Dean

Request from SASWhen building Time Schedule, especially for graduate programs, please do not have classes start and end at the precise time: 1:00-5:30 and 5:30-7:30. It will make it impossible for our scheduling software to schedule rooms effectively. Be creative – 1:00 – 5:20, or something.

Thank you!
