This message is being sent to all Academic Departmental Administrators (ADAs). Please disregard 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.
Courses not taught (i.e., no students enrolled at the end of a semester or summer session) since the first semester of the 2017-18 academic year will be visible in MAUI beginning September 9. If your department has inactive courses to review, you will receive an email on this day with a list of these courses.
Fall 2020 Inactive Course Review Schedule
| Academic Departmental Administrator's (ADA) Review Period in MAUI |
September 9–22 |
| Academic DEO Approval in Universal Workflow |
September 23–October 14 |
During the ADA review period, forms may be viewed, commented on, or updated in MAUI by any user, but they are not yet active in Workflow. Therefore, there is no option to submit a form to Workflow. This creates a window of time for multiple users to review and comment on forms before they are finally submitted. You may select a status ("Keep" or "Drop") and enter a comment in the Rationale box; click on "Save" to save your work. A Drop status does not require a comment in the Rationale box.
On September 23 all Workflow forms will become active in Workflow and will be routed to the Academic Workflow DDEO for the department. This person must take action on each form to advance it in Workflow. The "Approve Package" Workflow option will appear after a status ("Keep" or "Drop") is selected, a comment is included in the Rationale box (for courses listed as "Keep"), and "Save" has been clicked. Please coordinate the approval process within your unit to prevent duplication of effort and/or erroneous dropping of courses. Once a form is submitted to Workflow, it cannot be revised.
You will be able to click a link in the September 9 email to see a full list of course forms up for review in your department. They will also be viewable in the "Inactive Courses Workflow" in the main Course Library dashboard in MAUI; select Fall 2021 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.
Sincerely,
