Create a Course

Overview

Course proposals are reviewed internally and typically take 2-3 months to be created.

Before you Begin

Familiarize yourself with the university’s Credit Hour Policy and Course Numbering Guidelines.

Process Details

To create a new course the originating academic unit should:

  1. Submit Proposal into CIM

    Input the proposed course into the Curriculum Inventory Management System (CIM) for review and approval by appropriate unit, college and university committees. A CIM training guide is available for assistance.

    University committees (graduate and undergraduate) meet once a month and usually review all proposals received by the first of that month. The undergraduate committee does not meet in the summer months.

Process Completion

After approvals, the Registrar will build the new course in Banner to ensure it is operable; this usually occurs within a month of final approval. The course will appear in the next Bulletin if it is created by the Registrar prior to May 1st. Questions about process completion should be sent to bulletin@auburn.edu.
