Please keep in mind these deadlines for revising and adding courses to Course Offerings and the MAUI Course Library. Thank you for sharing this information as needed.

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 enforced for changes to core attributes.

Core Course Attributes

• Course acronym
• Administrative home
• Course number
• Changes in credit hours

Deadline for Revising Core Attributes of a Course

The deadline to make changes to courses being offered in Fall 2023 was November 1, 2022, when the Offerings Planner closed to editing. The Offerings Planner deadlines are set by the Registrar and are published on the MAUI dashboard page: https://www.maui.uiowa.edu/maui/registrar/courses/planner/dashboard.page

No changes to core attributes will be made for Fall 2023. Instead, CLAS will date workflow forms for the following semester.

Deadline for Revising Other Attributes of a Course

Before the Fall 2023 Course Schedule is published in MyUI on January 30, these attributes of a course being offered may be revised by Friday, January 27:

• Cross-listings (addition and removal of)
• Prerequisites

After the Fall 2023 UI Course Schedule is Published, changes to courses being offered may be made to the below attributes. However, the best practice is to have the following items complete before courses appear on MyUI (Jan. 30) and before student registration begins (April 10):

• Titles (minor changes only)
• General Catalog Description
• Requirements
• Recommendations

In these cases, the problem should be explained in the rationale field of the workflow form. No matter the change, a thorough rationale should always be provided.

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 (2023-2024) if dated “as effective” no later than Spring 2023. Courses effective for Fall 2023 will also be included in the next Catalog if submitted before May 5, 2023. 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.

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.
