When a department proposes a new course it must first be sent to the chairs of each faculty graduate program

committee where there might

be an overlap in course content. The chairs will indicate that overlap concerns have

been dealt with by signing the appropriate space or via a separate memo or e-mail (attached to this form).

The new course proposal must also be sent to the Library for a report on library resources.

Once overlap concerns have been dealt with, signatures indicate approval by the department, home faculty and

Senate Graduate Studies Committee.

Other Faculties

The signature(s) below indicate that the Dean(s) or designate of other Faculties affected by the proposed new course

support(s) the approval of the new course.

I can

confinn that no additional library resources will be required to support the proposed course PHYS

855 :

Modem Optics,

as

it is a

cross-listing. I have added the course to the appropriate list on the Library Course Assessments page at

http://www.llb.sfu.ca/collections/course-assessments,

and this will be adequate proof of library sign-off.

New Graduate Course Proposal - Physics

Hi Todd,

Please find attached a new course proposal and outline for PHYS 855. This is a cross-listing of the existing undergraduate

course PHYS 455; I've included that outline as well. Please let me know if you need anything else for the library report. If it's

possible to have the report by the end of this week (Feb

3),

that would be great.

Many thanks,
