Scope and Contents
Often referred to by the color paper they are printed on (green sheets - Graduate college and blue sheets - undergraduate curriculum), these records document the evolution of curriculum - both individual courses and entire academic programs through their initial establishment and subsequent changes. These are the most complete set known, but even so may not cover all courses/programs and changes thereto. The formats of the curriculum modifications has changed over time, meaning different information may be available. Sometimes proposed syllabi for new courses are attached, but this is not universally the case.
Conditions Governing Access
No known access restrictions.
Conditions Governing Use
Researchers using this collection assume full responsibility for conforming to the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright, and are responsible for securing permissions necessary for publication or reproduction.
Language of Materials
Materials in English.
Arrangement
Arranged by department/school in several overlapping chronological sequences. Graduate and undergraduate curriculum modifications are in different series.
Existence and Location of Copies
Numerous parties are signatories on curriculum modifications - the origining department/college, deans, committees, library, and ultimately the president of the university. As a result many copies of these documents exist, whether held by an indiviual department or college, or another approving authority. Given the voluminous nature of these records, it is not time-effective to try to identify and weed duplicates. Therefore, the same curriculum modifications may exist in multiple locations.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
The records in this collection have been obtained from the regular transfer of records from the Office of the Provost.
