Curriculum Forms may be downloaded from the CDPG Forms page. Identifiers of forms for use with undergraduate curriculum change begin with <U>. Those for use with graduate curriculum change begin with <G>.
Action items marked with a dagger (†) also require an ADHE attachment (generally indicated in the relevant UCA form; if not, noted below). ADHE attachments, customized for UCA use, are available for download from the CDPG Forms page.
Curriculum items not listed here should generally be considered action items. If in doubt, direct questions to the Director of the UCA Core, the Associate Provost for Institutional Effectiveness, or the Dean of the Graduate School.
