An experimental (temporary) course is approved for specific semesters only.  The course will not be included in the Undergraduate Bulletin (but will be included in the online bulletin and the bulletin supplement). After an experimental course has been offered, instructors wishing to make the course a permanent part of the curriculum must submit to the committee  a complete syllabus including readings and assignments, and should indicate who, other than the instructor, is able to teach the course (this requires approval of the alternate instructor’s chairperson), whether the course is submitted for inclusion in the D.E.C. and whether the permanent course necessitates a change to major and/or minor requirements.
