Inactive Course Forms

The following email is being sent to all Academic Departmental Administrators (ADA) that may have inactive courses up for review for Fall 2019. 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.

Courses not taught for the last four years (i.e., no students enrolled at the end of the session since the first semester of the 2016-17 academic year) will be visible in MAUI beginning September 10th. You will receive an email on this day with a list of these courses if your department has inactive courses to review.

Inactive Course Review Schedule for Fall 2019
Academic Departmental Administrator's (ADA) Review Period in MAUI September 10-23
Academic DEO Approval Begins in Universal Workflow September 24- October 15

During the ADA review period, forms may be viewed, updated, or commented on 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 to workflow. 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 24, 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 10th email to see a full list of course forms for your department up for review. They can also be viewed by selecting "Inactive Courses Workflow" from the main Course Library dashboard, then select Fall 2020 in the session box, along with an academic unit. A list of forms meeting the criteria will be displayed.
