Modify an Immersion

Academic units should regularly review immersion curricula to make sure listings are up to date. This is typically done as part of the bulletin review process each spring.

Changes to an existing immersion must be submitted on the Immersion Proposal Form, with tracked changes that clearly identify the proposed changes to the existing immersion.

To add or remove courses from an existing immersion, the sponsoring academic unit updates the immersion proposal form and sends it through the curricular approval process at the college level. If the immersion involves more than one college, then the college or academic unit listed first on the immersion form is responsible for updating the immersion and notifying other colleges/units of changes. The college’s GEC representative transmits the amended immersion information to the GEC chair for review by the GEC.

• The GEC Chair will notify the Office of the Vice Provost.
• The Office of the Vice Provost will update the bulletin tracking worksheet so that the Registrar’s Office will be aware of the approved changes.
• It is the responsibility of the college to submit an updated curriculum table to the Office of the Vice Provost during the annual bulletin process.
• The approved changes will be published in the undergraduate bulletin and RIT Programs of Study website during the annual bulletin process.
• After the revised immersion is approved and implemented, it will appear on RIT’s List of Approved Immersions where students can click on an immersion to view an overview and curriculum.
