Curriculum Modification – A Guide for Faculty
This guide describes the college’s procedures for curriculum modification. Each department or program is responsible for continually reviewing and refining the curriculum and courses it offers and for initiating proposals for new curricula and courses. The college recognizes active participation in this process as part of the professional responsibility of every faculty member. Curriculum Proposal Deadlines

Guideline for Proposal Document Preparation

- Obtain all necessary approvals, including the Dean’s and Chair’s signatures.
- Submit proposals in Word format (not PDF). Signatures should be included directly in the Word document, either as text or images in the appropriate spaces.
- Additional documentation, such as letters of support, articulation agreements, and program mapping, should be incorporated into the proposal document and labeled as appendices (e.g., Appendix I, Appendix II).
- Submit the completed proposal to the Curriculum Committee Chair, Elizabeth Milonas, at emilonas@citytech.cuny.edu.
