CAR System Deadline to New Forms: February 1, 2025
As a part of the transition to the use of CourseLeaf platform to support curricular approval processes starting in Fall 2025, the CAR system will be decommissioned on July 1, 2025.
In order to ensure that all pending proposals have been reviewed by their respective curricular committees prior to this transition, the deadline for submitting new proposals into the CAR system will be February 1, 2025. This means that no new CAR form may be submitted after this date; CAR forms with “in progress” status will be allowed to move forward in the system until the end of the academic year.
We advise that anyone seeking to make copies of any information currently housed in the CAR system (such as specific course approval histories or syllabi) download this information prior to July 1, 2025 for your records.
For additional questions, concerns or information, we refer you to this transition FAQ and encourage you to see The Graduate School and Registrar’s Office website for further information.
Online Workflow System for Curriculum Proposals
This single form should be used by faculty and staff for proposals to add new courses to the curriculum, revise courses, or delete courses from the catalog. The form will be routed through all necessary approval stages.
Deadlines for Catalog Changes
Course Revisions: All course change requests must be approved in the CAR system by February 5th of each year in order for these changes to be included in the following catalog (for both fall and spring). For this reason, we recommend submitting a CAR form requesting a course revision no later than December 1st to reach this deadline.
New Courses: New courses will be posted in the catalog within 72 hours of final course approval and be open to students for registration. If a new course submission that has reached "END" stage in the CAR system has not appeared in the catalog within 72 hours, please contact registrarcurriculum@uconn.edu
Additional information regarding catalog changes can be found here.
