New Course

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 LaShawn Youngblood at lashawn@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 deadline for submissions is November 1 for the subsequent summer and fall term and March 15 for the subsequent spring 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.
