UMass Boston

In addition to superficial changes, there are several types of Curriculog proposal that do not require full governance review. Below is a list of these proposal types and information on how to submit them.

Course Reactivation

Course reactivations that don’t involve any changes to the inactive course do not require governance review. If you would like to immediately reactivate a course so that it can be placed on the schedule for an upcoming semester as is, you should complete the correct form in Curriculog, either:

• uc4: UGRD Course – Reactivation
• gc4: GRD Course - Reactivation

Once the Department Chair approves the proposal in Curriculog, it immediately advances to the Dean and then to the Registrar. No additional materials are needed.

Making changes to an inactive course (changing the course number, title, description, credits, etc.) will automatically reactivate it. So, if you wish to reactivate a course and make changes to it, you do not need to fill out a Course Reactivation form. Rather, you simply need to submit a Curriculog proposal for substantial changes to an existing course, including all the necessary additional documents (see how to submit proposals for substantial changes to an undergraduate or graduate course for more information).

New Course Subject Code

This proposal enables the creation of a new subject code in WISER (for example, if the English department wants to create a specific Creative Writing subject code (CW) in addition to their ENGL subject code). Department Chairs that wish to create a new course subject code can do so by filling out the correct form in Curriculog:

• s1: UNIV – New Course Subject

No additional materials are required for proposals for new course subject codes.

Proposals for new course subject codes go directly from the Department Chair to the Provost and can thus be processed fairly quickly. Proposals for new course subject codes must be processed before proposals using the new subject code can be submitted.
