5. On the Create Course Proposal page you have two (2) options for creating a course proposal.
1. Option 1: Create new proposal - Creating a new proposal will start a new faculty course proposal for the application term.
1. Select the Create new proposal.
2. Click on the Start Course Proposal button at the bottom of the options.
3. Note: The FCP will be attached to the department of the original author/creator. This is important to keep in mind as to which departmental coordinator (DC) it will be submitted.
6. Once you are on the Faculty Course Proposal page you will need to add a course to the proposal, if one does not already exist, and save it. This new proposal will not exist within the system until you have done an initial save. The Save link can be located on the action bar in the bottom left the the FCP.
