New courses must run as Special Topics three times before they will be considered for a permanent course number in the catalog.
A permanent course number must be proposed for Special Topics courses if it is to continue running after the initial three offerings.
If a course is cancelled due to under-enrollment three times within a four-year period, it will be removed from the catalog.
