As you know, the Registrar’s Course Library is the permanent repository for campus-wide courses. Before a course appears on the MyUI schedule, it must exist in the MAUI Course Library.

Revisions to course components in the MAUI Course Library affect Offerings Planner, General Catalog, Classroom Scheduling, MyUI, Schedule Builder, sample plans of study, and degree audits. For this reason, deadlines for course changes are enforced. Please keep these deadlines in mind before revising existing courses or adding new courses to the MAUI Course Library for spring 2025. 

Spring 2025 Course Deadlines

• June 25, 2024 – Offerings Planner Closed to Editing
• September 30, 2024 – MyUI Course Offerings Available in MyUI and Schedule Builder Open
• November 11, 2024 – Early Registration Begins

After courses are published in MyUI, revisions to courses being offered are rarely approved; workflow forms will be made effective for the following semester or session.

When creating a new course or revising an existing one, departments can assist CLAS in understanding the role of the course by providing a thorough rationale in the workflow form. With a more complete rationale, CLAS can help departments make sure they have the instructional power and support they need to deliver their curriculum.

On the course approval form, please address these questions in the rationale box that are particularly relevant:

• What role does this course play in the curriculum? (i.e., How does the course fit into the existing curriculum within the major, the minor, a certificate, the GE CLAS Core, as an elective, or in any other manner?)
• Does this course overlap or appear to duplicate any courses in other CLAS departments?
• How frequently will it be offered and what is the plan for staffing this course over the next few times it is taught? 
• For undergraduate courses, will at least 16 students enroll in the course when it is offered? If not, are there special considerations (i.e., space or equipment limitations)?
• For graduate courses, can the class be offered collaboratively with other CLAS units in order to maximize graduate teaching power and offer a more diversified graduate experience?

For requests to add a cross-reference or change the admin home of the course, please offer a brief explanation of the reasons driving the request.

Examples of rationales are available on the CLAS website.
