Course Deactivation Policy

Graduate courses that have not been taught within the past six (6) years will be automatically deactivated. They will still be officially approved courses, but not appear in the Graduate Catalog. The Office of Graduate Education and Academic Planning will notify programs of courses that have not been taught in five (5) years that they have one year to teach the class before automatic deactivation. This will help alleviate the “false advertising” issue and reduce the number of current students who feel misled by this.

The policy will be phased in by alerting all programs that have courses not taught in five or more years that they have one year to teach the class before automatic deactivation. Note: Please see Course Deletion Policy  .
