How We Review and Evaluate Proposals
At our monthly meetings, the committee reviews and evaluates proposals to add, revise, suspend or eliminate any courses and programs at the college, and considers suggestions for future curriculum development. Important problems and deficiencies in the curriculum, as well as its major goals and directions, are also discussed.
Attend Our Meetings
Our meetings are open to all faculty and are held via Zoom. Meeting agendas are posted a week prior to the meeting, and the committee and proposal submitters will be reminded of each meeting. This gives committee members time to look over proposals or submit reports, and proposals submitters time to prepare to speak about their proposals. For any UCC correspondence, please email the UCC chairs at curriculum@ric.edu. This email account is checked every day.
