DUAL LISTED COURSES:
Approval for, and changes in, dual listed courses (those offered
for both graduate and undergraduate level credit) must be obtained at both
the undergraduate and the graduate level. Sponsors must first seek
approval at the undergraduate level for the undergraduate course and/or
course changes. Following the undergraduate level (signed by the
Faculty Senate Chair), the proposal should be forwarded to the Graduate
Council.
To add a graduate level component to an existing undergraduate course
(add a dual listing), a NEW COURSE PROPOSAL FORM (form #3) must be submitted
for the graduate course only, being sent directly to Graduate Council,
following the procedures for graduate courses.
