Proponents of curriculum changes should download the appropriate forms by clicking on their titles below.
The Senate Curriculum Committee recommends that each Faculty have a single person designated to consolidate departmental submissions into a Faculty curriculum report.
1. Change to Course or Program (2-column) Form
Most of the instructions required to complete a Change to Course or Program (2-column) form appear on the form itself. Examples of how to properly format a Calendar change using this form can be found in our Examples of UBC Curriculum Proposal Form. A single form is used for all types of curriculum changes.
2. Supplemental Information Form – New Course
This form is for collecting administrative components of courses necessary for course creation. It must accompany all Category 1 new course proposals.
3. Consulting Check Form
This form is for consulting departments, academic programs, schools, and/or Faculties impacted by the proposed curriculum change(s).
4. Library Learning, Research and Scholarship Consultation Form
This form is used to indicate the adequacy of Library needs. The Library Consultants list is maintained on the UBC Library website. The approval of the University Librarian must be indicated on the Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals form if the proposed curriculum cannot be supported with existing Library resources.
5. Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals Form
The adequacy of the available resources to permit the proposal to be implemented must be indicated on the Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals form. All Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals forms must be signed by the Department Head (or equivalent) and the Dean of the proposing unit.
The signature of the Provost and Vice-President Academic is required for all new program proposals (including new majors and minors; new undergraduate and graduate degree programs; new diploma and academic-credit certificate programs). The signature of the Provost and Vice-President Academic is also required if the Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals form indicates that additional budget is required to implement the curriculum change.
If the Library Learning, Research and Scholarship Consultation form indicates that additional Library resources are required to support the proposal, the signature of the University Librarian must be obtained on the Budgetary Impact of Curriculum Proposals form.
6. Non-Credit Program Certificate Proposal Template
This template is for collecting the information required to submit Non-Credit Program Certificate or Non-Credit Program Microcertificate proposals.
