Academic Affairs Committee
Guidelines and Forms

Guidelines and Forms

The intent of this page is to help faculty develop high quality course and curriculum proposals that meet the College standards and guidelines. Please direct questions by email to the AAC at curriculum@esf.edu.

All proposals submitted for full Committee review are first reviewed by Committee staff for completeness. Once deemed complete, they are then posted for two weeks on the "Current Proposals for Review" web page (https://www.esf.edu/acadgov/aac/cp.php) for review by faculty. Committee staff will inform the proposer when the item will be discussed at a meeting of the full Academic Affairs Committee. 

Please note that, in order for a proposal to be considered by the Academic Affairs Committee during the 2023-2024 academic year meeting schedule, the deadline for submission of proposals is as follows:

Curriculum Proposals deadline: January 16, 2024
