UC DAVIS: ACADEMIC SENATE

COMMITTEE ON COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

September 24, 2004

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, CAMPUS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS, MEMBERS OF THE 
ACADEMIC SENATE, AND MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC FEDERATION 

RE: Policies and Procedures for Submitting Course Approval Requests

Current COCI policy and procedures for establishing new courses, changing existing 
courses, or canceling courses are available at our web site 
(http://www.mrak.ucdavis.edu/senate/committee_cci_policies.htm). COCI uses current 
guidelines to thoroughly review all course approval requests, even those proposing 
relatively minor changes. All requests must be submitted online, using the Course 
Approval Form (http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/cafinfo/). Although either support 
staff or the instructor may complete the online Course Approval Form, we encourage 
instructors to do this as they are most familiar with course content and are 
responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the form. To obtain access to the 
Course Approval System, please contact Keitha Hunter in the Office of the Registrar 
(kehunter@ucdavis.edu; 752-2676). 

For approved courses to be included in the 05-06 General Catalog Supplement they must 
be received by COCI, in final form, by January 14, 2005. Requests are reviewed and 
approved by college, school, and/or divisional courses committees before they are 
forwarded to COCI.  Consult with the courses committee in your college or school 
about the lead time required to act on your requests and forward them to COCI for 
final action. COCI reviews courses in the order they are received.

Instructors and support staff submitting course approval requests should carefully 
read the online help
(http://www.mrak.ucdavis.edu/senate/caf_online_help.htm) accompanying all entries 
on the Course Approval Form. Submissions that are incomplete, inaccurate, or contain 
typographical errors will be returned to the college or school committee.  This 
greatly delays approval. If you have any questions about COCI's policies or 
procedures, contact Marci Buell, Committee Analyst (752-2220; mcbuell@ucdavis.edu). 

ASSOCIATE IN PETITION REMINDER:
Associate Instructor requests must be submitted on an Associate Instructor Petition.
