Proposals should be received one week prior (i.e., the Friday before the scheduled UCC meetings) for people wanting to submit courses for AOI approval.
The current chair of the UCC is Lisa West, the vice chair is Joanna Mosser. The templates should be sent to Lisa West. Faculty are encouraged to attend the UCC meeting at which their proposal is being discussed. If the faculty member her/himself is not available, he/she should ask the department or program chair or another representative who is familiar with the course proposal to attend on his/her behalf.
We will post the list of approved courses after each UCC meeting on the Drake Curriculum website.
Location of UCC meetings: Medbury Honors Lounge
