Please follow these steps in completing your proposal to repeat an existing off-campus January Term:
- If the program asks you to log in, please do so with your St. Olaf user name and password. After logging in, enter the appropriate department/program code in the box next to the green “Search” button (for example: ART, ECON, or MATH).
- Select the course you wish to offer from the list that is returned from your search, then click the “Edit Course” button on the right-hand side of the screen.
- Enter your name, email, and phone extension at the top of the form; select the next year and term the course will be offered.
- For “Course Location,” the field should already be pre-populated with “Domestic” or “International.” You will need to enter or update responses to the prompts that follow.
- Please upload the following documents where indicated:
- Your rationale for conducting this course off-campus.
- A copy of your anticipated itinerary.
- A copy of the preliminary budget you have developed in consultation with IOS.
- A copy of the syllabus from the last time the course was offered. If you are anticipating changes to the course learning outcomes, itinerary, activities, and/or assessments, an updated draft syllabus is preferred.
- If the course has already been approved to carry one or more GE/OLE Core attributes, enter “NA” in response to any of the prompts pertaining to that/those attributes.
- When you have completed your proposal, begin the workflow process by clicking on the “Start Workflow” button at the bottom of the screen.
- Workflow typically follows this path:
- Department Chair/Program Director
- Director of International and Off-Campus Studies
- If approval is requested for the addition of WRI and/or WAC, the proposal will then go to the Writing Program Director
- The Associate Dean for the department/program
- The Continuing Programs Subcommittee
- The Curriculum Committee.
