Courses that are taught with different subtitles are referred to as "Subtitle Courses," and

• provide an "umbrella" for topics of closely related course content, learning outcomes and assessment methodologies;

• are valuable for creating a course that makes use of timely issues and requires a fast-tracked approval proces;

• courses that a department wishes to offer occasionally;

• are shown in the catalog with generic "umbrella" titles but are offered under specific subtitles in the Class Schedule;

• appear on students' transcripts with the specific subtitle;

• are usually repeatable with a different subtitle; and

• are valid for the life of the "umbrella" course.

• Example of a Subtitle Course: ENGL 439 Significant British Authors (4 units) repeatable to 12 units with different subtitles (e.g., "Jane Austen," "Victorian Poets," "Blake," "Hardy.")

• For General Education subtitle (rubric) courses, please refer to the GE web site for review process.

• Each college dean determines its own internal review process. Please check with your dean's office. Note: College of Liberal Arts requires this step.

• For subtitle approval by Academic Programs, depending upon college's requirement of second step, above, either department chair/head or associate dean sends the subtitle to Mary Whiteford.

• Subtitles are forwarded to Class Scheduling by Academic Programs.

• As appropriate, check with GE and/or your college dean's office (see first two steps, above).

• Subtitles approved by at least one month prior to the start of the term can become valid that term.
