All Mason Core course submissions must be entered into Courseleaf. If you do not have access to the Courseleaf system, please contact us at chsscurr@gmu.edu.

• It is not uncommon for the Mason Core Committee to return a course for revisions. Submitting courses as early as possible can increase the likelihood that the course is approved in the semester desired. 
• A new course must be fully approved and in Banner prior to being submitted for any Mason Core category. Review and approvals for each type of submission are done monthly. 
• Title/description changes for a current course should be submitted and approved prior to the course being submitted for a Mason Core category. Review and approvals for each type of submission are done monthly.
• Each submission needs the appropriate proposal worksheet and a syllabus which explicitly states which Mason Core category is met and includes the category's learning outcomes.
• The Mason Core course designation is effective in the semester in which it is approved.
