On occasion, departments wish to
offer a new
course on an experimental basis before making the determination that
the
course should be a permanent one. In that case, please use the
following
procedure for an EXPERIMENTAL COURSE.
-
Complete Academic
Council Course Proposal --being sure to indicate that the course is
experimental.
-
Attach a course description and syllabus.
-
Department chair and dean must sign this form.
-
Send the form and attachments directly to the Office of the Provost for
review.
-
If the Provost approves the course, the experimental course proposal
will
be forwarded to the Academic Council for inclusion on the agenda as an
information item.
-
If the Provost does not approve the proposal, you will be informed
immediately.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
-
Experimental courses may be offered only ONE TIME.
-
After an experimental course has been offered one time, the course must
then be submitted to the Academic Council as a regular course, and
approved
by the appropriate standing committee and the Academic Council as a
whole.
-
Periodically, all experimental courses will be deleted from the
MSU course inventory and this deletion will be reported to the
CPE.
