Course Proposal (New Remote Course)

STOP

REMINDER - Standard (in-person) courses may be offered with 50% or less of the instructor-student interaction components of the course (lecturer, discussion, practicum, etc.) being offered remotely. A remote course is typically one that is fully remote, but also includes any course where more than 50% of the instructor-student interaction components are remote. If you are certain you want to create a remote course:

First, closely review the UCSD Policy on Distance Education Courses and contact Alyssa SImons if you have any questions about how a particular policy would apply to your proposal. Also, consider consulting with the Digital Learning Team for support in designing your online course.
 
Then, before submitting this request form, you must discuss the potential new course with the applicable Section Head (based on the proposed course subject code) and any other faculty in the department who teach similar content. You must get their pre-approval and assurance that the proposed new course:
  • aligns within the scope/goals of the course subject code and the existing courses within it,
  • aligns with any pre-existing course numbering structures within the particular course subject code,
  • and is designed in a way that multiple faculty in the department could offer the course.

Once you have support from the applicable Section Head and other relevant faculty, carefully fill out the form below. Be sure to refer to our current Course Catalog to ensure the course number is not already in use. Please also note that once a course is "end-termed" (discontinued), we cannot use that same course number for a new course for at least three years. Contact Alyssa Simons if you have any questions about the course elements, terminology, implications of specific choices or a list of available course numbers within a specific range.
