Deadlines and Forms

Below, you will find proposal deadlines and forms for each of the 13 courses in the University Core. Each downloadable form is customized to the needs of that course. Please download a copy of the relevant form(s) to your computer, type or paste in the information requested including the syllabus, and submit your proposal(s) through the normal procedure for your department and college/school. Before e-mailing your proposal, please resave the file with a distinctive name that includes both the name of the course category as well as your last name (e.g. Academic Writing Seminar Jones).

These forms must be submitted and signed electronically. For detailed instructions and troubleshooting these forms, please see the Guide to Completing Electronic Core Course Proposal Forms.

For additional information, please reference the Course Descriptions and Guidelines and the Proposing Core Courses FAQs.

If you would like to add faculty to an already approved course, please reference the Adding Qualified Faculty to a UCOR Course guide.

University Core course proposals are reviewed twice a year. Due dates noted are for submission to University Core after both the department chair and the college/school curriculum committee have reviewed and approved the course. For college/school deadlines please contact the appropriate Dean’s office.
