UICC Course Alignment

Background

In 2015 the UICC adopted a policy for regular review of UNIV courses. A 3-year review cycle was recommended for the review of all UNIV courses.

Course Alignment Purpose & Goals

Good teaching practice requires that faculty evaluate their courses on a regular basis to ensure the efficacy of the pedagogy and the currency of the material presented.  Academic departments often develop policies and practices to assist faculty in doing this and to ensure that their curriculum in aggregate continues to meet the goals defined for their major(s).  UNIV courses are offered by units outside of the schools and colleges and part of the mission of UICC is to ensure that oversight of these courses follows best practices.  Thus, courses undergo rigorous review at the time they are added to the curriculum and our policies require that units offering UNIV courses have faculty committees that are responsible for curricular oversight. This oversight should include periodic review of existing courses to ensure their continued efficacy, consistency among offerings and alignment with course goals as originally approved.  This policy is intended to support the faculty curricular committees in performing these functions.
