Create a new course.

1.  Fill out a  (google form) New Course Code Request (external link, opens in new window)  form.

This is a critical step. This lets Undergraduate Publications make sure that the desired course code is available. 

A new degree-level course must be 

• part of the core curriculum of at least one degree program, 
• or, if intended for a general audience, developed as a Liberal Studies course.

Please note that there is a moratorium on the creation of new Liberal Studies courses, and no new Liberal Studies proposals for 2025-2026 will be considered.

• Before proposing a Liberal Studies course, consult the Guidelines for the Development of Proposals for Liberal Studies Courses (external link, opens in new window) .
• Choose only the range 100–499 (or 10–49 for A/B courses) for Lower Level Liberal Studies courses.
• Choose only the range 500–999 (or 50–99 for A/B courses) for Upper Level Liberal Studies courses.

2. Once you have your course code, go to the  (google form) Calendar Change Hub (external link, opens in new window) .

• On the first page, choose "Course-Level Change" and enter the course code.
• Then, choose "New Course."
• Specify the details of the course as prompted (e.g., title, course description, GPA weight, billing hours).
  • This provides us with the essential information needed to create the course in the Student Administration System.
  • Carefully consider requisites or exclusions, and use them judiciously to ensure that appropriately prepared students can enrol in the course.

If adding the course to a Liberal Studies table ...

• In the field "Is this a Liberal Studies course?", choose whether the course will be a Lower Level (Table A) or Upper Level (Table B) Liberal Studies course.

3. Now that the course is created, add it to a curriculum.

• You will be prompted to continue on to the Curriculum-Level Change section.
• See Add a course to a curriculum for instructions on filling out this section.

If adding the course to a Liberal Studies table ...

• See Update a Liberal Studies table (this is also done via the Curriculum-Level Change section).

PLEASE NOTE: There is no way to specify multiple programs when filling out the Calendar Change Hub.

This is done to ensure that each change is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the stakeholders involved. This reduces the likelihood that oversights will occur.
