Curriculum Review

The Curriculum Review Process is the procedure by which curriculum proposals are reviewed in contexts beyond the individual program.听 The process involves the coordination of CSU system-wide goals and the CSUDH Strategic Plan with existing and proposed programs within the university.听 The Curriculum Review Process plays a key role in upholding and disseminating the core values fundamental to our success:听 accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, rigorous standards, proactive partnerships, respect, and responsiveness.听 Through the Curriculum Review Process we build the excellent academic programs that reinforce our position as a comprehensive model urban university and continue to build on our academic excellence by offering programs that respond to the needs and demands of our communities鈥 employers, that prepare our graduates with skills and knowledge needed to compete in a globalized 21st century, and by innovating our academic offerings and the way we deliver them.听 Specifically, we pursue new academic programs and concentrations relevant to student interest reflecting current workforce trends and demands and provide access through diverse instructional modalities (online/hybrid) to increase student access, flexibility and retention.

Submitting Proposals in Course Leaf听 - Start Here!

Curriculum review in Course Leaf follows the same path of consultations and approvals as in the previous system, only now all documentation is collected and stored in Course Leaf. Once 鈥渨orkflow鈥 is started, courses and programs move through the Course Leaf system for approval. Proposals are reviewed in the order they are received and typically take about two weeks for review at each step. Proposers can check the status of their proposal, as well as see any comments related to proposals, at any time in Course Leaf. As in the previous system, documentation of necessary consultations is required for proposals to be posted in the Curriculum Register. Once proposals clear the Curriculum Register moratorium phase, they will move to the College Curriculum Committee and/or University Curriculum Committee for review. Please see the 鈥淐urriculum Review Process & Workflows鈥 section below for more details on proposing and modifying programs and courses.
