The curriculum proposal process documents changes made to courses and programs. CIM, OSU's curriculum proposal software, guides proposals to each step in the review process.
Assistance with creating and editing curriculum proposals
For assistance with the proposal process, contact CM's curriculum coordinators. For questions about accessing or using CIM, contact [email protected].
The Curriculum Management site contains documentation about the steps in the proposal review process, the information needed for course and program proposals, and how to use CIM. Start by visiting the page about the type of proposal (courses, programs, or miscellaneous) you want to create or edit.
How proposals move through CIM
- The Originator(s) is notified via email when the proposal is returned to them for revision, is in their CIM queue for another reason, or has been approved.
- The liaison review period is 7 calendar days. The review committees do not have a timeline, but do their best to review proposals in a timely manner.
- Steps requiring faculty review will be delayed during summer term and winter break.
- Reviewer(s) must approve the proposal before it can move forward to the next step. The reviewer may send the proposal back to the originator(s) for revision. All questions and comments made by reviewers must be addressed by the originator prior to final approval and catalog implementation.
Timing
Course changes, program changes, and program deactivations go into effect the following catalog year. New courses and programs go into effect more quickly. See the catalog year policy for details.
Regulations
OSU's program development is guided by rules from Oregon's Higher Education Coordinating Commission.
