Course revisions can be submitted at any time to the APC. However, new course proposals and all program proposals must be submitted by the deadline listed below to be reviewed at the next meeting. Late submissions will be reviewed at the next scheduled meeting.

Proposing a New Course
Proposing a new course can be done through CIM Courses. To gain access, forward your name, NetID and UIN to Lori Fuller.
Choosing a Course Number
When choosing a course number, consult your department Director of Graduate Studies or Head. They may direct you to the Courses of Instruction page in the Academic Catalog to choose a number not already listed. You should also do a search of that proposed number in the CIM Courses system to ensure it has not been used in the last six years.

Examples
Transcriptable Graduate Certificates
The Campus Graduate Certificate is a new transcripted credential conferred by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, available only to students who have previously earned a bachelor's degree and are not pursuing other Illinois programs of study, typically referred to as non-degree students. More information on the certificate can be found here.
To propose a Graduate Certificate, follow these instructions:
- Log into CIM-Programs.
- Select "Propose New Program"
- Proposal Type = Major
- Proposal Title = "Establish the Campus Graduate Certificate in (Major Name, e.g., Curriculum and Instruction)"
- Corresponding Degree = CERT Campus Graduate Certificate
- All other fields (until Enrollment Section), complete as you would for any type of new program.
- In the Enrollment Section, there are two new questions, which are now required for any type of proposal:
- What is the typical time to completion of this program? (There's a note reminding that certificates require a minimum of 10 weeks)
- What are the minimum Total Credit Hours required for this program?
Revising an Existing Course
Revising a course can be done through CIM Courses. To gain access, forward your name, UIN, and NetID to Lori Fuller.
CIM Resources
To have a proposal reviewed before submission, do not “Submit” it. Leave it in “Save Changes” status and contact Lori Fuller for a college-level preliminary review.
Once a proposal is submitted, it will be sent through the appropriate channels of approval starting with the department’s program review committee, the department head, the Council on Teacher Education (if necessary), any department/college for coursework outside the College, and the College’s Academic Programs Committee. Once the College approves it, it will be sent electronically to campus for final approvals. The workflow can be reviewed at any time by looking up the program or course and reviewing the “In Workflow” box on the right-hand side of the screen.
At any stage in the approval process, there may be questions or issues that have to be addressed. The proposal may be “rolled back” (usually to the sponsor) with comments. Comments are public and will be seen by everyone (including the Senate)! Once the issues have been addressed, it will go through the complete approval process again.
When a proposal is in workflow (having been submitted and waiting on an approval at any level), that program or course is no longer available for editing.
