The CSU policies and requirements for program development are provided through the Chancellor's Office academic programs page. Specific information can be found to develop a new program, and to modify an existing program. The general CSU workflow (PDF, 173KB) for new programs is provided here (PDF, 173KB). CI's general review workflow was reviewed by APPC in Spring 2024 and will be published in August 2024.
All program development at CI is submitted through Curriculog. Before submitting a proposal, it is strongly advised to make yourself familiar with the information necessary to submit in advance. Authors need to familiarize themselves with the general guidelines for curriculum development (PDF, 1.5MB), to ensure strong, successful proposals.
