Academic Department Manual


Guidelines for Requests for

New Course Subject Matter Area


A request from a college dean to add a new course subject matter area and its abbreviation should be submitted to Academic Affairs (attn: Bitsy Wagner) after appropriate department and college review. A brief rationale should be included in the request, as well as the requested new, four-character abbreviation (e.g., UNIV).

If the new subject matter abbreviation is approved by the Provost, a memorandum will be prepared authorizing the new abbreviation. Copies of the memorandum, which will include the HEGIS/reporting code for the new subject area, will be circulated to appropriate members of the campus community.
