• When reviewing curriculum proposals, try to review any rationale and impact statements provided for reference.

• Faculty will want to scroll down and find the Curriculum Plan,
  • then click on the Preview Curriculum button and then click on the red pen icon at the top right corner to see changes made.
  • By looking at the Curriculum Schema Preview, you can see what the layout will be in the catalog and hopefully get the idea of what is being changed or at least if the appropriate courses are in there.
  • If edits are necessary, the Office Specialist for the Faculty Senate Office or the co-chairs may not be able to make these during the meeting. If not, those would be sent back to units for revision and resubmission. This will occur if pieces are missing or submitted inaccurately.
