That person(s) is considered the initiator(s). The initiator will discuss the changes in the departmental meeting and acquire minutes that approve the proposed changes. Once approved by the department and chair, the initiator will submit it to the college. Once approved in the college meeting and meetings are acquired to support actions, the proposal is submitted to Academic Affairs. Academic Affairs moves it forward to the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee for review. (See Flowchart at homepage for the full approval route.)<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Does the initiator need to submit minutes verifying the discussion of changes?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Yes, minutes must be attached to all proposals. The first step is the department; therefore, the departmental minutes should be attached. The second step is the college; therefore, the college minutes should be attached.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Where does the initiator send proposals for review after department and college approval?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">After all necessary signatures on department and college levels, send proposals to one of the following emails:<br><a href=\"mailto:patricia.sheriff-taylor@jsums.edu\">patricia.sheriff-taylor@jsums.edu<\/a><br><a href=\"mailto:curriculum.committee@jsums.edu\">curriculum.committee@jsums.edu<\/a><\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>If there are questions, who shall be contacted?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Dr. Jennifer Young Wallace, Chair<br><a href=\"mailto:jennifer.k.young@jsums.edu\">jennifer.k.young@jsums.edu<\/a><br><a href=\"tel:+16015026858\">601-502-6858<\/a><br><br>Ms. Patricia Sheriff, Academic Affairs Specialist<br><a href=\"mailto:patricia.sheriff-taylor@jsums.edu\">patricia.sheriff-taylor@jsums.edu<\/a><br><a href=\"tel:+16019792320\">601-979-2320<\/a><\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Does the initiator need to have Curricular Action Form and Curricular Proposal Form for each proposal?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Yes. Initiators should have both forms for each proposal. If only one is submitted, the proposal will be returned to initiator.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>What does \u201cProposal Submitted\u201d mean on the Curricular Action Form?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">This means that you should state what is it you are trying to chance or implement. For example, if you are removing a prerequisite (EDAD 788) from your curriculum, you will state as such:<br><em>Remove prerequisite, EDAD 788, from the Higher Education curriculum.<\/em><br><strong>NOTE: You do not give a rationale in this section. Provide rationales in the space provided. A few complete sentences will suffice.<\/strong><\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Why do initiators have to have signatures from deans outside of their unit?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">If there is a course on your curriculum that you would like to add or archive and that course is in another college, you MUST get that dean\u2019s signature. This is important because that college\/department may offer that course to accommodate your students. If you are removing it, that college\/department may not need to offer the course any longer or may need to reduce the number of sessions. Once a dean in another unit knows, he\/she can act accordingly.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Why do initiators have to attach a curriculum sheet\/degree plan to each proposal when all proposals are about the same degree in a submission?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">You must attach a curriculum sheet and all other required documents to every proposal that is adding, archiving, modifying (i.e., removing or adding prerequisites) because there may be a different reviewer for each proposal. That reviewer will need to all documents to move the proposal forward.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>When does the initiator attach an old and new curriculum to the proposal?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">You will attach an old and new curriculum when you are adding, archiving, modifying anything on the curriculum. The old curriculum is documentation of what was included, and the new one shows what is being proposed. This is necessary for each proposal because they are stored as separate proposals.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Can initiators archive and add a course in the same proposal since one is removed to replace another?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">No, you can only have ONE ACTION per proposal. You must have a Curricular Proposal Form and Action Form for each proposal. Your first proposal is that you are removing (archiving) a course from the curriculum. You must give rationale in appropriate section on the forms. Your second proposal is to replace it with an existing course. The proposal must be separate.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>When does the initiator select \u201cNew Course\u201d on the Curricular Proposal Form?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Check \u201cNew Course\u201d when you have developed a new course with a new course number to be added to your curriculum, whether it is an elective or required course. With this proposal you must provide the new syllabus, old and new curriculum. If you are going to use this course as a requirement in another college or department, you must get the dean or chair\u2019s signature based on what the need constitutes. (A Guide is provided on the homepage.)<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>What happens when the initiator submits the proposal(s)?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Once you submit your proposal, Academic Affairs stamps it and places it into the google files for the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee\u2019s Chair and Vice-Chair to retrieve. The Vice-Chair (VC) is the chair of the Screening Committee. The VC retrieves the proposals and submits them to Screening Committee members for review. After reviews, the VC will send the initiator a letter informing them of any changes needed and\/or next steps is recommended for approval from the Screening Committee. If needed, the initiator will resubmit changes to the VC, and then, the VC will request to the chair that it is added on the agenda. If no changes are needed, the initiator will receive information regarding the UGCC meeting. The agenda for the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UGCC) is comprised of proposals to be voted on as recommended by the VC and the Screening Committee. The chair of the UGCC will give the final review and added items to the agenda.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>Do initiators have to be present at the Undergraduate Curriculum meeting to defend my proposal?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">Yes, all initiators must be present to defend any proposal. The UGCC members may ask clarifying questions before voting on the items.<\/div><\/details><details class=\"faq\"><summary><span>What happens if the initiator is not present to defend the proposal(s)?<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"faq__a\">If the initiator is not present, the proposals will be tabled until the next meeting.

Each college\u2014College of Business, College of Education and Human Development, College of Liberal Arts, College of Health Sciences, and College of Science, Engineering, and Technology\u2014elects three members from its college to serve on the committee. Undergraduate Studies and the Library elect one representative to serve. The student body elects two student representatives from the Student Government Association.<\/p><p class=\"body\">The Screening Committee consists of faculty members that are selected based on the full UGCC committee\u2019s recommendations. One member is selected from each of the five colleges and two members are members-at-large that can be selected among the full UGCC Committee. The student representatives may not serve on the Screening Committee. The members of this subcommittee are selected each year.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"sec\" id=\"Officers\" aria-labelledby=\"of-h\">\n  <div class=\"w\">\n    <div class=\"sec-head\"><span class=\"sec-eyebrow\">Structure<\/span>\n      <h2 class=\"sec-title\" id=\"of-h\">Officers &amp; Responsibilities<\/h2><\/div>\n    <p class=\"body\">The UGCC has six officers: Chair, Vice-Chair, Immediate Past Chair, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, and Parliamentarian. The term of the Chair and Vice-Chair is two years. To maintain continuity, the Vice-Chair moves up to Chair and serves two years in the position. The Chair moves to Immediate Past Chair and serves two years in that position.<\/p><p class=\"body\">In the case any of the elected members to the UGCC is elected as Chair or Vice Chair from a college, library, or University Studies, special elections to fill those seats must be held. The term is based on the officer\u2019s initial election term. For example, if a faculty member elected with a 2-year term from the College of Business serves on the UGCC and gets elected as Chair or Vice Chair, the 2-year term seat on the UGCC becomes open, and the College of Business will hold a special election or appoint a faculty representative to that seat on the UGCC for the remainder of the term. The UGCC Chair will notify the college, library, or University Studies in regards to any special election.<\/p><p class=\"body\">The Vice-Chair becomes Chair after a two-year term. In the case that the Chair of the UGCC resigns before the two-year term is up, the Vice-Chair will assume the role as Chair during the remainder of the term and will assume his\/her two-year term succession thereafter.<\/p><p class=\"body\">In the case that the Chair and Vice Chair resign in the same year, the UGCC will hold special elections for Chair and Vice-Chair. As a result, seats in the college, Library, or University Studies of the newly elected Chair and Vice-Chair will be open. (NOTE: At all times, there must be three representatives from each College, one from Library and one from University Studies. The Chair, Vice-Chair, and Immediate Past President are exempt from this count).<\/p>\n    <div class=\"officer\"><h3>Chair<\/h3><p>The Chair presides over the full UGCC meeting, entertains and carries motions, and maintains the professional flow and atmosphere of the meeting. The chair signs all proposals and curricular action forms and submits to the Office of Academic Affairs; contacts deans when a vacancy occurs or when members from specified colleges are not present; notifies members of all meetings; orients newly elected members; and serves as the representative of the committee in university meeting. The chair can appoint members to any ad-hoc committees as needed. The term of the Chair is two years.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"officer\"><h3>VIce-Chair<\/h3><p>The Vice-Chair presides over the Screening Committee; ensures that proposal reviews are within the timelines; sets the agenda for screening proposals; assigns proposals to Screening Committee members for review; contacts initiators in regards to the proposals; provides information on changes needed for proposal and missing documents that should be attached to each proposal; assist initiators in accurately completing the proposals; presides over meetings in the absence of the chair. The term of the Vice-Chair is two years. The Vice-Chair moves to Chair after the two-year term expires as VC.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"officer\"><h3>Secretary<\/h3><p>The secretary records attendance at all UGCC meetings; records content of the meeting; provides written minutes for each monthly meeting to the members; and ensures that all information is accurately recorded. The secretary is elected each year.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"officer\"><h3>Assistant Secretary<\/h3><p>The Assistant Secretary assumes the responsibility in the absence of the Secretary. The Assistant Secretary is elected each year.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"officer\"><h3>Parliamentarian<\/h3><p>The Parliamentarian is responsible for order and proper procedures for conducting all meetings and for the interpretation of the Robert rules of order. The Parliamentarian is elected each year.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"officer\"><h3>Immediate Past Chair<\/h3><p>The Immediate Past Chair serves as an experience support for the incoming chair, advises the committee, and informs the committed on practices.
