Curriculum Forms & Instructions

This page provides information, resources, templates, and guidelines pertaining to the process of developing curriculum at Eastern Florida State College.

Academic program development is, generally, the process whereby academic disciplines propose to establish new academic programs as well as to enhance existing program offerings including creating new courses and/or revising existing courses.

To maintain accurate, complete records for programs and courses, EFSC uses CourseLeaf CIM, an online curriculum management system. Faculty will work with curriculum development support staff to ensure all information is processed completely.

Curriculum Deadline Information

All curriculum deadlines are two weeks prior to the following CDC meeting to allow time for review.

All curriculum deadlines are created to ensure curriculum committee reviews and committee meetings can take place prior to the creation of the Fall 2026 schedule and student registration or to comply with State Statute.

Curriculum may be submitted after the deadlines, but it may postpone the effective date.

Exceptions will be permitted on a case-by-case basis, including state mandated changes, urgent accreditation needs, and minor changes that do not affect the Catalog, BANNER, or student advisement.

CIM Submission does not ensure that curriculum will be approved. It is critical that faculty who submit curriculum proposals keep up with email communications about approval within CIM, committees, Administration, and the State of Florida. Finalized curriculum will be posted in the eCPR upon full completion of the process.

Curriculum Resources

Faculty may submit curriculum review requests, including course and/or lab fee changes and program changes, throughout any given semester. They will be reviewed by the Curriculum Development Committee (CRC) as soon as possible once they arrive in the CRC’s CIM workflow. Once approved by the CRC, they are submitted to the Academic Council (AC) for review and approval at the following AC meeting. State and internal EFSC guidelines govern the effective date. Generally, changes can only be effective in Fall terms with rare exceptions (e.g., a State-mandated change). Core General Education courses require an especially early review, as they are subject to an additional layer of oversight by the Board of Trustees.
