UESS Curriculum Committee

The UESS Curriculum Committee serves as the custodian of the UGST subject code and oversees the processes for proposing, evaluating, and approving proposals for new and revised courses at the divisional level. 

The Committee guides course proposals through all proper divisional governance channels and partners with fellow school and college curriculum committees before submitting it to the University Committee on Courses. 

The Committee also offers consultative services to divisional and campus partner units on curriculum and syllabus development through close collaboration with Teaching Engagement Program staff.
