The originating academic unit should input the course proposal into the university’s Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) system. The CIM system will route the proposal through all unit and college reviews established by the college. These reviews occur at the college’s discretion.

Upon college approval, the CIM system will route the proposal to the appropriate university curriculum committee (undergraduate or graduate). These committees review proposals once a month during the academic year. Usually, proposals received by the first of the month are reviewed that month.

Upon university committee approval, the Provost will conduct a final review. Upon approval, the Provost Office and the Registrar will ensure that the revision is entered into university systems so that it is operable. Programs that complete the full approval process prior to February will appear in the fall semester Auburn University Bulletin.
