Lumen Courses: How to De-cross-list your Subject from a Course
A step-by-step guide on how to use the "short form" for removing oneself from a cross-list.
Background
Notes, limitations, and reminders
- The approval process follows the same workflow as a standard course proposal.
- You can only propose to remove your own subject from a cross-listing; you cannot propose to remove another subject.
- You cannot add subjects to a course by this process.
- No other changes can be made via the Lumen Courses proposal form utilizing this expedited process (if changes are made before answering the de-cross-listing, the proposal will not advance to the University Curriculum Committee using the “short form”).
- If changes were already made, but you would like to use the "short form" for de-crosslisting, you must either undo your changes, or ask for the proposal to be shredded and start over. To request a course proposal to be shredded, email lumen@provost.wisc.edu.
- This process may not be utilized to re-arrange the order the cross-listed subjects listed.
- Proposals to de-crosslist are consent agenda items for the University Curriculum Committee
How to submit a proposal to de-crosslist
- Click the “Edit Course” button.
- Answer “Yes” to the question, “The purpose of this proposal is to remove your subject from a cross-listed course.”
- Select the term for which the changes take place. Removal of a cross-list follow the same deadlines as a full course change proposal.
- Remove the subject(s) being de-cross-listed.
- If the subject being removed is listed in the Subject field, you will need to revise, selecting a subject from the “Select subjects that will be crosslisted” field. Additionally, you must remove that subject from the field “Select subjects that will be cross-listed.”
- If there is only one other subject cross-listed, the answer to the question “Is this course cross-listed” should be changed to “No.”
- If the course being removed is listed in the “Select subjects that will be cross-listed field”, click “(Remove…)” after the subject being de-crosslisted.
- If the subject being removed is listed in the Subject field, you will need to revise, selecting a subject from the “Select subjects that will be crosslisted” field. Additionally, you must remove that subject from the field “Select subjects that will be cross-listed.”
- Answer the rational for the changes question.
- Add/remove subjects outside of unit that should be aware of this change (optional).
- Submit to workflow.
