Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC)
A page within Records & Registration
The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC) is a standing faculty committee that meets at 3:30 pm in 325 Graff Main Hall every second, fourth, and fifth Tuesdays of the month for the Fall and Spring semesters (not including the first week of the semester, spring break, or finals week). This committee is responsible for reviewing and approving changes to the undergraduate curriculum.
Curriculum Committees
Training materials for UCC & GCC committee members and chairs are available in the UCC/GCC Faculty Training Canvas course. Enroll in the course to have access to materials on using the Curriculum Inventory Management system (CIM) for course and program proposals, your roles and responsibilities, and guides on what the committees review.
Committee chairs will receive the "Action Required" email as each form reaches their step in workflow. All proposals ready for committee review will be under the committee chair role on the Approver Page. Department chairs and other approvers in workflow should bookmark the Approver Page in case an email notification is missed.
UCC & GCC committee members will receive an agenda a few days ahead of the meeting with links to the proposals being reviewed.
Curriculum procedures
In addition to the UCC/GCC Faculty Training Canvas course, UWL's curriculum approval process is described on the Curriculum Change Process & Policies page, along with additional procedures relating to UCC/GCC business. UWL's curriculum policies can be found on the second tab.
Links to the course and program forms are on the CIM Help - Courses and CIM Help - Programs page.
The UCC chart indicates whether or not specific changes (usually, but not always) require UCC/GCC review, either as an action item or on the consent agenda.
