Who determines if a course is a DLE?
Its important to remember that this learning experience was created by us– the faculty– because we believe it will enrich our students educational career. As a faculty initiative, we believe that the faculty is most able and prepared to design and offer a DLE that is challenging, creative, and true to the spirit of the Faculty Senate resolution. To that end, we encourage and support faculty ownership of the DLE. To facilitate faculty ownership, the DLE requirement will be implemented primarily at the department level. Faculty, with departmental approval, may submit proposals for courses to carry the DLE designation to the University Faculty Senate Undergraduate Studies Committee (note that UD study abroad courses and service-learning courses are exempt from this process, as they automatically receive the DLE designation upon approval by the CFIS or the Service Learning offices). The proposal may request a permanent designation, if the course is to meet the requirements of the DLE eve
