If someone within the department is also traveling to the same destination by airlines, their ticket may be used as a price comparison.

Launch Deadlines vs Final Deadlines
The proposal launch deadlines listed in curriculog are for faculty members and their submission of their proposals in Curriculog. It takes about two weeks for the proposal to be ready for our committee to review.
Please see the Curriculum Calendar for detailed information on what proposals need to be submitted when. The CLASS Curriculum Committee meeting calendar is adjusted to accommodate these. Missing a launch deadline and instead submitting a proposal on the final deadline will prevent your proposal from moving forward in time.
Office of Faculty Development
Supporting faculty with Dossier & Portfolio Preparation, Digital Trainings, Drop-In Space, Formative Teaching Evaluations, Individual Consultations, Writing Support, and Syllabus preparation.
OFD is also offering workshops on preparing and launching strong GEOC (General Education, Overlay, CODE) and writing-intensive (University Writing Requirement & Second Composition) course proposals as well as workshops on annual reports, five-year reviews, and curriculum mapping and program assessment.
