Faculty interested in submitting a course for Mason Core status will need to complete the appropriate category proposal worksheet. Please see the category page for the worksheet. Faculty must submit the completed proposal worksheet and their syllabus to Courseleaf (CIM) for approval. Faculty members who do not have access to Courseleaf should send their materials to their college’s catalog author for submission.
Course submissions will be reviewed by Mason Core Committee. Review the proposal deadlines and meeting dates prior to submission for timely consideration. Please note that due to a high volume of proposals, it may take more than one meeting for a course to be reviewed.
Mason Core Submission Process
For existing courses, please follow the steps on our How to Submit a Course for Mason Core page using the appropriate proposal worksheet for the intended category.
For new courses, please ensure your course has been approved by your college curriculum committee and Undergraduate Council (UGC) first. Courses cannot be submitted for Undergraduate Council review and Mason Core Committee review at the same time despite how it may look in CIM/Courseleaf. It is not simultaneous or automatic. Please keep this in mind as you plan your course submission.
Please reach out to [email protected] with specific questions regarding the course submission process. If you would like to discuss your proposal prior to submission, please contact Laura Poms through [email protected] at least two weeks prior to the proposal submission deadline.
