Welcome
The Curriculum Review Process covers the entire lifecycle of proposing, approving and implementing curricular changes. Use the Curriculum Proposal Form link below to initiate a new proposal. All required fields must be completed for the form to save. The form will provide prompts at the top of the screen if a required field was left blank. Make sure the submission confirmation page loads on the screen before closing the browser window. The initial form submission is not saved in OnBase until this confirmation message loads. A link to access the saved proposal form is sent to the submitter’s email address entered at the top of the form. Email notifications may take up to 5-15 minutes. Please contact curriculum@csun.edu with questions.
Please ensure you are using a SUPPORTED WEB BROWSER to access the form. The latest version of Chrome or Firefox is recommended. The Curriculum Proposal form will time out after 20 minutes. This is a security setting for all of OnBase. It is recommended to save an initial draft of the form and then save regularly during the session to avoid being timed out. If the form times out, the information will NOT be saved in the system.
The curriculum review workflow starts with the faculty submitter. A complete proposal routes to the department chair.
The department chair circulates the proposal with the department faculty (or department curriculum committee, if applicable). The chair also consults with other affected colleges, departments and programs. Once reviewed by the department faculty, the chair enters the decision or returns the proposal for changes. An approved proposal continues in the workflow and is routed to the college associate dean. An automatic notification is sent to the library. The associate dean routes the proposal to the college curriculum committee. Once reviewed by the committee, the designee enters the decision or returns the proposal for changes. An approved proposal continues in the workflow.
The associate dean routes the proposal to the Ethnic Studies Academic Committee (ESAC), if applicable. ESAC reviews undergraduate courses proposed to meet the Ethnic Studies (ES) designation. The ESAC chair enters the committee’s decision or returns the proposal for changes.
The associate dean circulates the college’s approved proposals with the university associate deans, EPC/GSC chairs, executive secretaries and recording secretaries. Modification and/or consultation may be requested prior to full committee review.
The associate dean routes the college’s approved proposals to EPC (undergraduate) or GSC (graduate). In some cases a proposal may need to be reviewed by both committees. Once reviewed by EPC and/or GSC the designee enters the decision or returns the proposal for changes. An approved proposal will continue in the workflow.
The EPC/GSC recording secretaries route the approved proposals to the registrar. The appropriate campus area will update SOLAR or DARS and mark the proposal as complete, ending the workflow. An email notification with a link to the archived proposal is sent to the submitter, department chair and associate dean.
