MEETING SCHEDULE
The CLASS Curriculum Committee will meet in the Dean's Conference Room (3rd Floor of HSS Building) from 11:00 am to 11:50 am on the following second and fourth Fridays of every month, unless there is no business pending.

POLICIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Submission Deadline: Individuals and divisions wishing to submit documents for the Committee's consideration must do so at least one week in advance of scheduled meetings, (i.e., the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month).

Submission Procedures: The Curriculum Committee asks that 2 copies of every document for its consideration be submitted: a signed paper copy and an electronic copy (in .doc format).

1) Signed Paper Copies: Please send signed paper copies of all documents to the office of Acting Associate Dean Troy McVey on the HSS Building's third floor. Please make certain that all appropriate signatures appear in blue ink.

2) Electronic Copies: Please email the electronic Microsoft Word file (.doc file) for each document to the Acting Associate Dean at tmcvey@uguam.uog.edu. These files must be in .doc format, not .docx format, so Microsoft Word 2007 users should save all files with the 1997-2003 format option in Word 2007's Word program. Word 2007 files (.docx files) cannot be easily opened or read.
