Inactive Course Forms

This message is being sent to all academic departmental administrators (ADAs) who have inactive courses up for review in fall 2023. Please disregard this email if you are listed as an ADA but don't serve in a role that works with inactive courses. If you get this message in error, please forward it to the appropriate individual within your unit.

The course(s) below are up for review as they have not been taught since fall 2020 (i.e., no students enrolled at the end of a semester or summer session) or have never been taught. Please be aware that a form will be generated for every course listed below.

Fall 2023 Inactive Course Review Schedule

ADA Review Period in MAUI

During the review period, any user may view, comment on, or update the forms in MAUI. Forms will not be active in Universal Workflow during this period, allowing multiple users to edit the forms before they are submitted. You must select either a "keep" or "drop" status. Selecting "keep" will require a comment in the rationale box; click on "save" to save your work.

DDEO Approval in Universal Workflow

On Wednesday, Sept. 27 all forms will automatically route to the workflow inboxes of deans, directors, or departmental executive officers who serve as academic workflow DDEOs. The forms will reflect edits made to them in MAUI prior to this automatic routing. This person must take action on each form to advance it in workflow.

Please coordinate the approval process within your unit to prevent duplication of effort and/or erroneous dropping of courses. Once a form is active in workflow, it cannot be revised by ADAs.

Inactive Course(s) for Department:

ABCD:1234:XYZ1

You can see the full list of your department's course forms in MAUI, or manually navigate to the Inactive Courses Workflow report from the MAUI Course Library dashboard; select "fall 2024" in the session box, and use the other boxes to filter by academic unit, course subject, and/or status. A list of forms meeting the selected criteria will be displayed.
