It is important that Kent State’s University Catalog reflect actual curricula being taught. For that reason, the Office Curriculum Services will place a hold on all courses that have not been taught for five or more consecutive years. These courses will not be inactivated and still will be displayed in the University Catalog. However, their status in the Banner course inventory will change from “active” to “hold.” Curriculum Services will notify each dean and chair/director of courses placed on hold. Alternatively, academic units may request formal inactivation of the courses. All requests for inactivation will follow the usual curricular approval procedures.

The Hold Policy does not apply to courses designated as variable/special topics, internship, practicum, field experience, individual investigation and research. In addition, the Hold Policy does not apply to slashed courses (4/5, 5/7, 4/5/7, 6/7, 6/8) where one or more of the courses are offered with enrollment.

While a course is on hold, it may be offered to students. Academic units can notify Curriculum Services their desire to offer a course on hold so its status can be changed to active in Banner. If the course is taught, the course status remains active in Banner. If the course is not taught, it will be put back on hold.

Courses that are on hold for three years will be inactivated. The dean and chair/director will be notified in advance of such action, and the course inactivation will be included on an EPC agenda.
