Committee Documents on SharePoint

Undergraduate Curriculum Committee proposals (both completed and ongoing) and documents (including monthly agendas/minutes/actions/reports and annual reports) are being housed on SharePoint.

Access the Curriculum Committee Documents Library

Please Note: Some minutes, agendas, and reports are still in the process of being moved to SharePoint, so if you can't locate something there, please consult: meeting minutes & agendas and monthly/yearly reports.

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 proposal submitters time to prepare to speak about their proposals. For any UCC correspondence, please email the UCC chair at curriculum@ric.edu. This email account is checked every day.
