Note: We have some deadlines for course proposals to ensure our volunteers have time to review each proposal thoroughly. The fact is, if a proposal is submitted at the last minute, it must be complete and problem-free to be accepted for the coming semester. Therefore, if you are developing an idea for a course, you will have more success if you submit your idea well ahead of the deadline, so we can work with you to ensure it is complete and fits our schedule. In fact, do it today! |
