Just in time for fall 2019 course planning, the Office of the Registrar’s Academic Scheduling team is excited to announce the recent launch of our new online course proposal and course revision forms. The new forms replace the paper forms (expiring after Sept. 30) and make the entire process more efficient, transparent and collaborative by:

• Allowing the submitter to upload comments and supporting documentation for the approvers
• Checking for errors as the submitter completes the form, helping to keep typos from derailing the submission
• Identifying every catalog page on which the course appears, alerting the submitter to potential down-stream effects (key departments receive an FYI notification when course changes are submitted)
• Sending reviewers and approvers automated reminders to keep the process moving
• Allowing the submitter to track the form’s status as it moves through the review and approval process

The online course proposal and revision forms are pretty intuitive and have many of the same fields and request similar data as the previous paper forms. If you have any questions, please email academicscheduling@colorado.edu.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of remotely operated telepresence human avatars for long-distance video conferencing presented in augmented reality. The study will take approximately 45 minutes, and you will be compensated $10.

To qualify, you must be between the ages of 18 and 45 years old.

If you have questions, please email cuironlab@gmail.com, or sign up directly under AR Telepresence.
