Course Forms

  • Department Initiators are responsible for submitting and monitoring all course forms for their department. 
  • Initiators are the contact for their department's forms if there are objections or questions regarding the form submission.  Please note that careful review before submission and prompt responses to inquiries will decrease route times.
  • Each approval stage (Curriculum Preview, Department, College, Grad, Gen-Ed, Honors, Curriculum, Cross-list) has a different review to approve or deny a course.  
  • If forms are submitted missing information, have policy compliance issues, or there are drastic differences between the syllabus and form, the form will be returned to the department initiator for corrections/clarifications to assure the department's needs are met.  A new form is not needed as the updates can be applied directly to the returned (*denied) form by the initiator that originally submitted the form and then the form resubmitted using the resubmit button under the comment section.  
  • If a department has questions on an approval stage the Department Course Initiator will need to contact the listed approver(s) on the course form route for the approval stage in question. 
  • Analytics can be used to build custom Course Catalog reports through the Student Dashboard-Catalog and Schedule (On Demand Reports - Catalog by Subject, Cat Nbr, Org, & Career). Staff can select “analyze” at the bottom of the report and add custom criteria and fields. Assistance with Analytics reporting is done by UAIR through https://uair.arizona.edu/content/uaccess-analytics as well as their training located at https://uair.arizona.edu/training.

Additional Documents

  • Request new Subject Code/Prefix: 
    New prefixes are more likely to get approved with a newly approved academic unit and when a program does not coincide with already existing programs belonging to the same dept/college, or is so specific/unique that it would be impactful to have a program specific prefix.
  • Request to Establish a Grade Requisite of B or Higher in a Course Form
