New Course
For a course to make the catalog deadline date and be included in the appropriate catalog year, it must have completed all the review and approval stages (not including the Curriculum Committee stage) by the deadline date. If you fail to complete the review and approval process, it means you've missed the catalog deadline date, and your course will go into the following year's catalog.
