University Course Curriculum Change Request Form

Streamline Course Curriculum Changes with Paperform

Managing curriculum modifications across academic departments requires careful coordination between faculty, administrators, and accreditation bodies. This University Course Curriculum Change Request Form helps higher education institutions collect, review, and route course modification proposals through proper governance channels while maintaining accurate records for accreditation compliance.

Why Higher Education Needs Better Change Request Forms

Traditional paper-based curriculum change processes create bottlenecks, lost documentation, and missed deadlines. Faculty members need a clear, structured way to propose modifications while ensuring all stakeholders—from department chairs to the faculty senate—can review and approve changes efficiently.

This template is designed for academic departments, curriculum committees, registrars, and institutional effectiveness offices who need to:

• Capture detailed course modification proposals with supporting rationale
• Route requests through department chairs, deans, and faculty senate
• Assess accreditation and program impact automatically
• Track effective semester implementation and catalog update requirements
• Maintain audit trails for institutional records and accreditation reviews

How This Template Works

The form collects essential information about the proposed curriculum change, including course details, modification type, academic justification, and resource implications. Conditional logic reveals relevant sections based on the nature of the change, ensuring faculty only complete applicable fields.

Once submitted, you can use Stepper to automatically route approval requests to department chairs, forward significant changes to the curriculum committee, notify the registrar of catalog updates, and trigger accreditation impact assessments. This eliminates email chains and ensures nothing falls through the cracks during the approval workflow.

For changes requiring formal documentation or sign-offs, integrate Papersign to collect electronic signatures from department chairs, deans, or faculty senate representatives, creating a complete audit trail for institutional records.

Built for Academic Administration

Whether you're a registrar managing catalog accuracy, a curriculum committee chair tracking proposals, or a department administrator supporting faculty governance, this template provides the structure and automation needed to handle curriculum changes professionally and efficiently. Trusted by institutions requiring SOC 2 Type II compliance, Paperform ensures your academic data remains secure while streamlining administrative workflows.
