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.

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
