Courses should be re-certified every four years. If the new version is significantly different in terms of the writing and/or speaking components before the approved version expires,re-submit it and explain why. If there are minor changes to the writing and/or speaking components, this can wait until the course comes up for recertification.
If there is a change in the course prefix, number, or title but the course is essentially the same, an email notice to the W & C Course Advisory Committee at uwc@tamu.edu will suffice. Explain in the email that the course is substantially the same as regards the writing and/or speaking components.
