**Instructions: read before beginning**

Note: For more detailed instructions, go to Resources.

1. Before beginning, do an Advanced Search for this course in current CI Catalog. Doing so should yield useful information, such as: any cross listings, requisites, programs it's found in, and GE/Graduation Requirements met by it, which will be needed to complete this form. For step-by-step instruction, go to Resources.

2. If course is cross listed, you must contact Andrea Skinner before going any further.

3. Import curriculum data from current Catalog by clicking on  icon in top left corner of left-hand column of form. Then, click "Save." Curriculog will generate a comment showing all fields that were imported, but no further action is required for this step.

4. For additional help text, click on  icon in top right corner of left column of form.

5. Make proposed changes and click "Save" again. Note that any time you click on "Save," you'll have to turn on help text again.

Note: information provided through this modification/inactivation is vital for the entire campus to be able to effectively implement it; thus, all fields must be completed before you approve modification/inactivation; if this does not happen, be aware modification/inactivation may be returned to you for completion from any step in approval process, before it's allowed to move forward

6. Validate and launch proposal by clicking on  icon in top left corner. Curriculog will state: This proposal has moved on. This proposal moved on in the workflow. This statement means that the proposal is now visible to all Curriculog users. You, as the proposer, still need to APPROVE proposal in order to send it to Program Chair (next step in process).

7. APPROVE proposal by clicking on Decision icon (fifth icon from left in Approval Process Toolbox in upper right of right-hand column of form). Once approved, proposal will move to next step in process.

Every effort will be made to include your proposal in the earliest possible catalog, and inclusion is based on the timeliness of the approval process and is not guaranteed.

Choose program that has/will have authority over course prefix.

Choose Local Curriculum Committee (LCC) course will be reviewed by. If unsure, view which disciplines are reviewed by which LCC on LCC Prefix List. If course is cross listed, choose LCC which will review this prefix. Then, choose LCC(s) which will review any other prefix(es) on cross listed proposal(s).

Below fields are only for courses with GE/UDGE/Mission Category designations. If course does not have any, there is no need to continue beyond this point.

If one or more GE fields below are not being used, they may be collapsed by clicking on downward-facing arrow to right of area name.

​​​​​​​See note below:

At the time APPC created this form, it appeared likely that the ethnic studies requirement from AB 1460 would be implemented as a new GE area. We have included this box for the proposer to show which learning outcomes map to those for the ethnic studies requirement for GE purposes. Should this instead be implemented as a graduation requirement but *not* GE, we will still use the information here to evaluate whether a course fulfills the requirements for Ethnic Studies.

ALL UDGE courses must also have a Mission Category designation​

For each area added/modified, give brief justification for how course will meet criteria in corresponding field(s).

For submission to be considered by GE Committee, at least half of criteria fields for chosen UDGE area(s) (B, C, or D) and ALL criteria fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be completed.

For more info, see: GE Goals and Outcomes​

ALL UDGE courses must have one Mission Category designation and lower division GE courses may have at most one.

Indicate below which Mission Category(-ies) is/are being modified.

For each Mission Category modified, give brief justification for how course will meet criteria in corresponding field(s).

GE Committee will not consider submissions with missing or incomplete justifications.

Example 1: Interdisciplinary Approaches, International Perspectives
Example 2: Multicultural Perspectives

If there are no changes, skip section.

Community Engagement courses engage students in service-learning. Service-learning is a teaching and learning approach that integrates community service with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities, while engaging students in reflection upon what was experienced, how community was benefited, and what was learned.

To be considered "interdisciplinary" course, syllabus must show that course is integrative with significant content, ideas, and ways of knowing from more than one discipline. Each course will involve student in critical thinking and integration of ideas. Instructors are encouraged to develop courses in which students from different majors share perspectives, methodologies, and expertise. Students will begin to make connections between their majors and at least two disciplines and ways of knowing, increasing both their knowledge and ability to communicate with people across disciplinary spectrum.

International Perspectives courses examine causes and effects of historical and contemporary global challenges/issues/problems, within and across national boundaries. They foster an understanding of how personal actions and political, social, and economic institutions affect both local and global communities and identities. They also address pressing and enduring world issues collaboratively and equitably, with consideration of cultural differences and power dynamics.

Multicultural Perspectives courses explore inter-relatedness and intersection of race and ethnicity with class, gender, sexuality, and other forms of difference, hierarchy, and oppression. They also engage social justice, indigeneity, transnational, transborder, and global issues, appreciating identities and situations as diasporic communities, and as interrelated realities in American society.
