Please keep in mind these general CLAS deadlines for revising and adding courses. Thank you for sharing this with staff and others in your office who need this information.

CLAS DEADLINE FOR REVISING CORE ATTRIBUTES OF A COURSE
Revisions of a course’s core attributes, listed below, affect the General Catalog, MyUI Courses, the student Schedule Builder tool, sample plans of study, and the degree audit.

Consequently, deadlines are now enforced for changes to core attributes. The deadline for spring 2022 has passed. Any requests will be revised for fall 2022.

The course approval deadlines are set by the Registrar and are published on the MAUI Offerings Planner dashboard page: https://www.maui.uiowa.edu/maui/registrar/courses/planner/dashboard.page.

• This year, the CLAS deadline for fall 2022 is January 31, 2022, with the UI course schedule and published on February 1.  
• The Offerings Planner is open for editing January 17-31, 2022.
• No changes to core attributes will be made after this date for fall 2022.
• Instead, forms will be dated by CLAS for the following semester.

CORE ATTRIBUTES

• Course acronym
• Administrative home
• Course number
• All cross-listings (addition and removal of)
• Prerequisites
• Changes in credit hours

Small changes may be made to other aspects of a course if not a core attribute. For example, a slight revision to a course title or the correction of a typo in a Catalog description may be made after the above deadline. In these cases, the problem should be explained in the rationale field of the form.

CLAS DEADLINE FOR ADDING A NEW COURSE

• New courses may be added to the Course Library at any time.
• New courses will appear in the newest edition of the General Catalog (2022-2023) if dated “as effective” no later than spring 2022. Keep this in mind if your area is adding new courses to a major, minor, or certificate during the editing of the General Catalog.
• Please note that adding a course to the Library is different from scheduling the course through the Offerings Planner and that the Offerings Planner has its own deadlines.

CLAS DEADLINE FOR DROPPING A COURSE

• CLAS courses may be dropped from the Course Library at any time as long as the course is not scheduled for the semester or session when the drop is effective.
• Once a course is dropped from the Course Library, its number is “retired” and may not be used for a new course.

Thank you for your attention to these deadlines.
