Instructor-level flags must be renewed every three years through the same proposal system. Course-level flags are permanent.
Course Inventory
Adding new course numbers and certain changes to old course numbers (e.g. contact hours, prerequisites, and degree plan statements) can only be proposed once a year (in September), and will not go into effect until the next fall semester. All course inventory changes require area head approval. Contact the primary course scheduler for instructions and to initiate such changes.
Degree Programs
Changing a degree program or adding a new degree can only be done with the biennial publication of a new course catalog and requires approval of the University of Texas System. The department's internal process is managed by the curriculum committee and the chair in consultation with the College of Fine Arts Dean of Student Affairs. Within the department, any degree program updates would need to be vetted by the area faculty, the curriculum committee, and voted on by the full faculty. Subsequent steps are handled by College of Fine Arts Student Affairs.
Signature Courses
All undergraduate students are required to take two signature courses as part of their core curriculum at the University of Texas at Austin. These innovative freshmen courses are taught by senior faculty (tenure-track, tenured, or senior lecturer) and are meant to improve the freshman experience. Individual faculty are responsible for proposing their own signature courses through the School of Undergraduate Studies. For details and to propose a signature course, please visit http://www.utexas.edu/ugs/sig/propose

Summer teaching opportunities are limited and have different enrollment requirements than the long semesters. At the end of the preceding fall semester, the faculty will be prompted to submit requests to teach a course during the summer, indicating the course title, description, and anticipated enrollment. Selection of summer courses is at the discretion of the chair.
