Curriculum Office Hours
Every Friday during Green Days, 1:00-3:00 PM, zoom, or by appointment (email curriculum@humboldt.edu).
NOTE: Modern Campus Curriculum—previously called Curriculog. This is a name change only.
Curricular proposals may be entered in Modern Campus Curriculum (formerly Curriculog) at any time during the year. The earlier the proposal has been entered and approved by the Department Chair and Associate Dean, the earlier it can be reviewed by the ICC and implemented.
If your proposal has the potential to create a significant change to University policies or practices or if you are interested in proposing a new program, concentration, or minor, please be sure to talk it over with your Associate Dean and the Vice Provost to gain support before entering/submitting the proposal.
Catalog Priority Dates
Submitting your proposal(s) by or before the below-listed dates gives you the best chance to make it into the next Projected Catalog Year. However, due to the nature of the Integrated Curriculum Committee (ICC) and the University Senate review process, we cannot guarantee all proposals will meet this timing.

Annual Course Catalog Cleanup
Each year, the Academic Programs office works with college deans to suspend and/or delete courses that are no longer in the regular rotation.
Courses that have not had enrolled class sections during the previous six years are automatically suspended unless the extension of their active status is approved by the college dean. If a department wishes to reactivate a suspended course, it should submit a Course Change Proposal via Modern Campus Curriculum requesting reactivation, including evidence that the course meets current standards and is consistent with other elements of the curriculum.
Courses that have been in suspended status for 6 years are automatically deleted unless the extension of their suspended status is approved by the college dean. Once a course has been deleted from the catalog, it cannot be reactivated. If a department wishes to bring back a deleted course, it must submit a New Course Proposal via Modern Campus Curriculum.
The list of courses not offered in the past 6 years and courses which have been suspended for at least 6 years are available for departmental review on the Institutional Research, Analytics, and Reporting website. Departments wishing to maintain ongoing active status for a particular course may submit a request and rationale to their college dean. Typically, the deadline by which the deans must submit the list of courses that are to remain active is the last "green" day of the Fall semester. (See the current Green & Gold Calendar to determine the last fall semester "green" day.)
