Rationale for Revision and Major Changes:

(This is for stakeholder review, not for publishing.)

Policy:

Prior to the printing of each WSU Course Catalog, academic departments review their course and program offerings. If a course or program is inactive or no longer needed, the department may request that the course or program be either banked or deleted. Inactive courses and programs are automatically deleted and removed from the catalog in compliance with Minnesota State Policy 3.36, unless the department provides justification for retaining or banking them following the WSU curriculum management process.
