Steps to Follow For Approval of a Course Syllabus
(These same steps apply to syllabus changes, program approval, or
program changes except that different forms are used)
 
  • Develop syllabus (preferably at least a semester before offering course) in consultation with other members of your College.
     

  • Circulate syllabus to College Faculty.  Place syllabus on agenda for College meeting for vote from members.  If vote is favorable, continue to next step.  If vote is not favorable, discuss with College Faculty for possible revision and resubmission.
     

  • Complete paperwork using correct form and request your Dean to sign off.  See http://www.tamut.edu/admissions/fforms.php?pageid=5 for forms.
     

  • Faculty member submits completed form and syllabus to Chairperson of Graduate Council ten days prior to scheduled Graduate Council Course and Program Approval Meeting (First Tuesday of each month).  The Chair will place syllabus on agenda.  Please attend the meeting or at least be available if the Council has any questions.  Your syllabus may be tabled if the Council is unable to receive answers to questions.
     

  • If approved, Chairperson will forward the Council's recommendation to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
     

  • However, if not approved or if tabled, Chairperson will return the syllabus to the faculty member for possible revision.
     

  • When approved by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the syllabus is forwarded to the Registrar for inclusion in the University Catalog.
