Course Deactivation Procedure

On or around October 1 each year, the Office of the Registrar will provide the School Deans with a list of current courses in our course inventory. Courses that have not been taught in 3 years will be flagged while courses not taught in the last 5 years will be marked for deactivation.

Each Dean will review the courses with their Conveners and Convening Groups. By December 1, Deans must notify the Office of the Registrar of the following:

1. If any of the courses that are flagged for not being taught in 3 years should be marked for deletion.

2. If any of the courses not taught in the last 5 years and marked for deactivation are scheduled to be taught in the coming Academic Year and should be removed from the listing.

Open updates are received from the Dean, the Office of the Registrar will deactivate courses marked as such. Once processed, if there is a request for reactivation and there are no changes to the course, the course must be approved by the Dean for reactivation and communicated to the Office of the Registrar. If there is any change to the course, the course must undergo the course revision process through ARC before being eligible for offering again.
