New courses must be entered via Curriculog. Ask your department chair about the departmental procedure to approve new courses. If your department is not authorized to approve its own new courses, contact Heather Day at hjd40@pitt.edu for forms and information on submitting a proposal to the Dietrich School Undergraduate Council.
Submissions for the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Council should be delivered electronically in Word or PDF format. The deadlines are the first Friday in December for the subsequent fall term, the last Friday in June for the subsequent spring term, and first Friday in September for the subsequent summer term. Include one copy of the PeopleSoft Course Catalog Update form and a typed abstract with your proposal.
Review the guidelines for submission of a new or existing course to fulfill one of the Dietrich School General Education Requirements.
