The memo should be submitted to the appropriate college curriculum committee after appropriate program/department review. The memo will then move through the regular curriculum process.

The Undergraduate Academic Board and Graduate Academic Board chairs send the Course Inactivation List along with guidance to the faculty listserv at the beginning of the fall semester.
