Course Renumbering Initiative

Initiated by Department Chairs Council in 2009 Main problems with current numbering:

» Running out of available 3XX and 4XX course numbers

» Working graduate students having trouble obtaining tuition reimbursement from employers for 3XX courses

» Other institutions not recognizing 3XX courses as graduate level for transfer

Original plan to start process in 2011 after PeopleSoft upgrade (upgrade actually completed in November 2012)

Provost formed ad-hoc Campus Course Renumbering Committee March 2013

DSCCs favorably reviewed in late April 2013, Campus Curricula Committee unanimously endorsed in May 2013

It would be beneficial to our students to have the new course numbers be effective sooner rather than later, which is why the Course Renumbering Committee expedited the process to give Faculty Senate the opportunity to consider it at their June 2013 meeting rather than delaying for an entire year
