Schedule documents are returned to the School of Liberal Arts Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
  • Due dates can be found on the Dean's Academic Calendar.
  • Schedule proofs are submitted to the Associate Dean's office one week before they are due in the registrar's office. They will be turned in as a group from the Dean's office. In addition to the proofs each department should submit a list with:
    • the number of sections offered at each level; i.e. 12 sections at 100 level, 3 sections at 200 level, etc.
    • the number of sections to be taught by part-time faculty
    • for the summer only, the costs; a spreadsheet will be provided for the reporting of this information
