Course Catalog Changes
When a faculty member or instructional program decides to offer a new course, or make changes to or delete an existing one, the appropriate form for course approval must be used.
Course forms, as well as submission deadlines, tutorials, and other information are available at the Academic Senate Web site.
All the course forms must be signed by the chair of department/division, and approved by: school curriculum committee, and dean of school prior to submission to the Office of the Registrar.
The Registrar's Office will forward the completed forms to the Academic Senate for submission to the Committee on Courses of Instruction (COCOI). After COCOI meeting, the Academic Senate will submit the approved courses back to the Registrar's Office.
The course catalog will be updated at that time.
The Course Catalog is available online and is maintained by the Registrar's Office.
Some course changes do not require the approval of COCOI. Those changes are:
- Instructor changes
- The quarter in which a course is offered
- Location changes
These changes still require the signature of the department or division chair, as well as the approval of the school curriculum committee and dean of school.
All course forms should be submitted to the Registrar's Office, Box 0244.
Contact Jeff Harter at 476-3001 or jeff.harter@ucsf.edu for questions.
To ensure that courses appear in the Course Catalog in a timely way, the following deadlines have been adopted to accommodate review by the Committee on Courses of Instruction, and the process of catalog updating.
If course form submission is late, there is no guarantee that the information will appear in the catalog, or be available for the Study List Filing period.
