The Curriculog form for course CAPs is designed to walk you through the process for creating a CAP. Please go to Curriuclog to see the new course, course modify, or course discontinue forms.
For a New Course or Course Modify CAP (Course Action Proposal):
For a sample syllabus, please visit http://www.uwyo.edu/acadaffairs/resources/syllabus/index.html.
For common syllabus section language.
All syllabi must follow guidelines as outlined in UW Regulation 2-117. There are updated syllabus guidelines for fall 2022. Syllabi not meeting these requirements will be considered incomplete. **If the old syllabus does not fully meet the current syllabus requirements, but the new syllabus does meet the requirements, the new syllabi will be accepted**
Dual-listed, the UCRC Committee asks that you provide for each course pair (e.g., AAST 4065/AAST 5065) a single syllabus that will serve both “classes,” explicitly stating the dual listing.
For example, the syllabus for AAST 4065 should be written for AAST 4065/AAST 5065 and must show the requirements/expectations/assignments (etc.) for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Moreover, each syllabus must specify the differing expectations/assignments, etc. for undergraduates and graduate students (and, importantly, should demonstrate that graduate students engage in something like 15-20% more work than undergraduates).
If a course is over the 3000-level, is it highly encouraged by the University Course Review Committee that the course includes at least one prerequisite.
If a course is a Topics: course, please include a template syllabus that includes information about learning objectives.
NEW COURSE -Needs new syllabi attached in Curriculog
COURSE MODIFY- Needs old and new syllabus attached in Curriculog
COURSE DISCONTINUE – Needs no syllabus
If you are creating a new prefix or new course number, run this by jwaluta@uwyo.edu before you create the new course proposal in Curriculog.
Cross-Listing and Dual-Listing:
For a cross-listing or dual-listing, make sure the files attached on all the proposals, not just the main one.
All new A&S G and D attributes MUST attach the approriate application form in Curriculog.
**You do NOT need to get the signatures on the USP 2015 or D and G forms. Just fill out the Student Learning Outcomes and content about the course and attach to the proposal in Curriculog.
