Implementation Deadlines

Overview of Important Deadlines

  • September 2024 – The last opportunity to enroll in a required CADI before the November 1, 2024, CIM submission deadline and the March 1, 2025 catalog deadline.

  • November 1, 2024 – Required submission date for all Core Education course proposals and Core Education-related program change proposals.
  • Core Education Catalog Deadline – March 1, 2025  Approval deadline for both Core Education course proposals and Core Education-related program change proposals

    • Submit Core Education course proposals and Core Education program change proposals to CIM no later than November 1, 2024, to meet the March 1, 2025, Core Education catalog deadline.
    • All Core Education courses, regardless of Bacc Core standing, must be fully approved in CIM by March 1, 2025, to be included in the 2025-26 catalog.
      • All Core Education course proposals, regardless of the course type (regular, blanket, or non-credit), are subject to a full curricular review.
    • Updated program requirements necessary to reflect Core Education must be fully approved in CIM by March 1, 2025, to be included in the 2025-26 catalog. 
      • DPO-A and Beyond I and II need to be specified in each program's requirements. 
    • To ensure a smooth transition to Core Education this first year, the May 1st deadline referenced in the Catalog Policy  will not apply to any course or program proposals that are related to Core Education (Any course or program change proposal not related to Core Education still have until May 1st to be approved.) Curriculum Management and the Office of the Registrar will be working to nurture proposals through the process as quickly as possible. 
    • Contact Stephanie Baugh in Curriculum Management with course questions and Janice Nave-Abele with program questions.
