The Curriculum Office is responsible for ensuring best practices regarding approved revisions to the curriculum. Curricular changes originate at the academic department level in conjunction with Academic Affairs. The Curriculum Office assists the process by reviewing the required forms and providing guidance on the submission policy. Curricular items are submitted to the College-Wide Curriculum Committee and the Senate for approval. Following campus approvals, the curricular items are reviewed and submitted to the CUNY Academic University Report (formerly the Chancellor’s University Report), the Committee on Academic Program, Policy, and Research (CAPPR) and, when appropriate, the changes are reported to the New York State Education Department (NYSED). The Curriculum Office is the office of record for approved documents from the College-Wide Curriculum Committee, Senate and CUNY Academic Reports for publication in the College Academic Bulletin. The office is also responsible for submitting college-Pathways courses to the CUNY Common Core Course Review Committee (CCCRC) for final Pathways approval.
