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

Please see the CLAS guidelines below on the approval process as related to these deadlines.

  1. The items below cannot be changed after the deadline if the course is already scheduled for that semester since these changes affect classroom assignments and times. For Fall 2019, this deadline is 11/14/2018. If you miss the deadline, please choose a future semester.
  • Course acronym
  • Administrative home
  • Course number
  • All cross-listings (addition and removal of)
  • Prerequisites
  • Changes in credit hours
  1. Once the MyUI Course Schedule for the semester is published, CLAS rarely processes any change for a course scheduled for that semester. Please choose a future semester. For Fall 2019, the publication date of the course schedule is 02/04/2019.
  1. Courses may be added and dropped from the MAUI Course Library regardless of the deadlines (as long as the dropped course is not scheduled for the semester of the requested drop).

Additional Information

  1. CLAS does make exceptions whenever possible to fix errors.
  2. Please remember to give a clear rationale for any change. Without a rationale, the approval process is greatly slowed.
