Course Approval Process

CE Instructors must submit a “Course Proposal” form each year for review and approval.

Course proposals for continuing courses are due November 1 of the year before the course will be taught. New instructors may submit up until August 1 for courses being taught that same fall or following spring in order to accommodate new hires, etc. Allow several weeks for all course proposal processing.
