All questions for the Academics Committee should be sent to academics@arcadia.edu. All proposal materials should be sent to the Committee through the online submissions forms.
All proposals submitted for review by the Academics Committee should be sent using the following forms. Printed proposals will no longer be accepted for review by the Committee.
If you wish to offer a new course for the first time it does not have to be reviewed by the Academics Committee, unless the course is a specific requirement for a major or minor. First-time offered courses are given a temporary number of either a 185, 285 or 385 such as US285. However, first-time courses that are required for a major or minor, which must be reviewed by the Academic Committee, would have a permanent number assigned.
If you wish to offer a 185, 285 or 385 for a second time it needs to be reviewed by the Academics Committee.
