Business Rules for Adding,
Modifying and Deleting a Course
Form Link, the
electronic course routing system, supports the addition, modification, and
deletion of courses at the University of Arizona.
Following are guidelines for processing courses.
A.
ADDING A COURSE
General Guidelines:
Requires submission of a new course form:
-
establish a new course that has not previously existed
Requires
submission of a new course form and deletion of the old course:
- change the level of the course (e.g., SOC 134 to 234 , SOC 234 to
334, etc.)
- renumber a course to position it more appropriately with other
courses in the department (e.g., ANTH234 to ANTH251)
- increase or decrease credit hours (e.g., ANTH 234 increased from 3
to 4 units)
- split or combine course content (HIST456A [3 units] and HIST456B [3
units] combined in one 4-unit course)
- significantly change course content, with or without a change in
the course title
NOTE:
If the current number is
to be kept, an alpha subscript must be added to the number to distinguish
the new version of the course from the old version (e.g., HIST234 can
become HIST234A/B/C/D/etc., as long as the subscript has not previously
been used).
