titleWhat should I enter for the "effective term" field?
The general rule is to make your new course or course changes effective in CIM for the term prior to when the new course or changes will go into effect. For example, if creating a new course to begin offering in Fall 2021, the effective term should be Spring 2021. This allows the course to be pulled into CLSS and built into the schedule for the fall. It also allows the new course to show in the catalog and registration systems as soon as the spring semester to make students aware. If it the effective term was set for fall, the course wouldn’t show up anywhere until the fall term begins.

titleHow do I add Core Curriculum credit to a course?

If you are applying for core credit for a course, please check “Are you adding, removing, or changing the Core designation for this course?” This will open an executive summary of changes to core credit and will allow you to change (add or delete) designations in the core. Please indicate all changes requested (e.g., dropping field 3 credit, adding advanced writing, etc).

  • Click on the appropriate designation for the course. Most will be “Other Core Course” –which opens the section to choose fields, knowledge attributes, and/or skills attributes.
  • You only need to fill out the questions for a designation you are adding (in other words, if you already have Field 3 credit and are just adding justice, you don’t need to fill out the sections related to Field 3– but you should mention that in the “Executive Summary.”
  • You must attach a course syllabus, even a sketchy one, or a detailed course plan, which shows the texts and other materials that you plan to use in the course, the structure and grading weight of assignments and other information that you believe is pertinent to this attribute.
