Faculty Council on Academic Standards (FCAS) Policy on Lists of Approved Electives

How to Add or Remove Program Electives

1. Programs that want to change specified electives (e.g., "choose two of the following courses...") must submit a 1503 for FCAS approval. If the elective courses being added to the specified list are from another department, a representative from that department must sign the 1503 on the bottom of the form or include an e-mail/memo from the chair of the department authorizing the list of its course(s).
2. Programs that want to change a list of electives (e.g., "choose two courses from list of electives in advising office...") should send an e-mail to uwcr@uw.edu for review. If the request is approved, the Curriculum Office will notify DARS.
3. Programs with large lists of specified electives that change annually may change its elective list from specified to "see adviser" by submitting a 1503 to that effect. This will result in the program needing only to send an e-mail with the new list to uwcr@uw.edu instead of submitting annual 1503s with the new list.
