What is an Experimental Course?
UNLV encourages diverse, innovative, and creative curricula, and as such encourages faculty members to exercise these values in designing curriculum content. An experimental course is an opportunity for faculty to introduce innovative and creative content and/or pedagogy on a trial basis to test potential new courses and obtain information to assist in the creation of a permanent course. Experimental courses are identified by an X after the course number and are often referred to as X courses. These X courses can be offered a maximum of two (2) terms.
How to request an Experimental Course (X Course)?
Experimental courses are created using Curriculog and would require the department chair and college dean’s approval. Committee approval is not necessary. Additionally, due to X course proposals not being required to undergo the NSHE CCN process, the course is not added to the NSHE database. The chosen course number would remain available for other NSHE institutions until a permanent course is presented. Thus, the number may change when you request a permanent course.
After it is routed through the approvals, the proposal will be sent to the Registrar’s Office Curriculum Unit for implementation. The whole process from when faculty submit their proposal to when it is ready to be scheduled may take as little as two days but may take longer depending on Department Chair and College Dean approvals.
Experimental forms should be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the desired start term. If a form is received after the desired start term schedule goes live and is accepting enrollment, the department will be responsible for managing the marketing and enrollment process.
Experimental Courses and the General Education Curriculum
Some undergraduate experimental courses qualify as general education courses. UNLV encourages a diverse, innovative, and creative curriculum, and as such encourages faculty to exercise these values in designing courses that also align with the University’s General Education curriculum. If faculty find they have created a course that may qualify for the general education curriculum, we encourage them to submit a General Education Course Request form in Curriculog.
Obtaining the general education designation will allow your course to satisfy the general education requirement effective as of the approval date. It is rare that the General Education Committee retroactively approves courses, thus we encourage the submission and approval of the General Education Course Request form in Curriculog before students enroll for the new experimental courses but after your Experimental Course Form is approved by the FSCC Chair.
The approval on an X course is only for the X course. You will need to re-submit a General Education Course Request form once the permanent course is approved by the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee.
