LX Form Descriptions
LX-137 (Summary of Proposed Changes)
(original/22 copies on white, back to
back, collated and stapled)
Summary form to be used when departments are proposing
numerous changes
LX-138 Basic form used to record any curriculum change. There are two versions of this form, one for courses (LX-138C) and one for programs (LX-138P)
LX-138C (New or Revised Course)
(original on yellow/22 copies for UCC and GCC on white,
back to back, collated and stapled)
Form used to make any change to a course
including description, prerequisite(s), credits, title, grading
pattern, instructional pattern, course number. This form is also
used to delete a course and to create a new course. If proposing
a new course, page 2 of the form must be completed.
This form includes several check-off items to guide departments when considering various aspects of a course proposal/change. It is not necessary to include the course description when deleting a course.
LX-138P (New or Revised Major, Minor, etc.)
(original on yellow/22 copies for UCC and GCC on white,
back to back, collated and stapled)
Form used to make changes to majors, minors,
concentrations, emphases and college core. Changes include
credits, required courses, electives, and other program
requirements. It is also used for submitting the curricula of
new programs to the curriculum committee. Other committees that
review new programs, i.e. Academic Priorities Committee, may
require different materials. You may attach details instead of
listing on form.
LX-139 (Course Outline and Objective)
(original on green/22 copies on white, back to back,
collated and stapled)
Form used to provide course objectives, outline and
requirements. It is never used by itself; it accompanies the
LX138C. It must be submitted for all new courses. Some changes
submitted on an LX138C might not require an LX139; although it
is logical that a LX139 would be completed when changing the
instructional pattern or number of credits
LX-140 (General Education)
(original on green/22 copies on white, back to back,
collated and stapled)
Form used to propose a course be considered part of
the General Education program or to make changes to an existing
General Education course. It is a companion to the LX 138C. This
form does not need to be presented to the curriculum
committee(s); it is for General Education Committee use.
