Curriculum Office Hours
Every Friday during Green Days, 1:00-3:00 PM, zoom, or by appointment (email curriculum@humboldt.edu).
Curricular proposals may be entered in Modern Campus Curriculum (formerly Curriculog) at any time during the year. The earlier the proposal has been entered and approved by the Department Chair and Associate Dean, the earlier it can be reviewed by the ICC and implemented.
If your proposal has the potential to create a significant change to University policies or practices or if you are interested in proposing a new program, concentration, or minor, please be sure to talk it over with your Associate Dean and the Vice Provost to gain support before entering/submitting the proposal.
Catalog Priority Dates
Submitting your proposal(s) by or before the below-listed dates gives you the best chance to make it into the next Projected Catalog Year. However, due to the nature of the Integrated Curriculum Committee (ICC) and the University Senate review process, we cannot guarantee all proposals will meet this timing.
