The below instructions apply to school and/or district authored/owned courses only. 

A video demo of the process is available here.

You may also view this webinar from June 2020 which provides background and context for encouraging schools to initiate this revision. 

After you have reviewed the guidelines for determining which courses* can be moved to science (D), please follow these steps:

1. Course and reference list managers should login into the A-G CMP and navigate to their course or reference list.
2. Once you are viewing your A-G list, navigate to the course you wish to move to science (D) and click on the menu icon on the right hand side as if you were going to initiate a revision. 
3. Select Move to Area D and follow the prompts to handle the revision.**
1. Please note that courses imported from Doorways with no content require a minimum of two units' worth of content (unit overviews, assignments, and laboratory activities) be added before being submitted.
2. Specifically, be sure the course descriptions include the required laboratory activities and/or add them if necessary.
3. Enter the required/recommended prerequisites.
4. When finished, certify the course aligns with the science (D) criteria and includes the required prerequisites. 
5. Submit to UC for an expedited course review.

*As a reminder, candidates for this move include (but are not necessarily limited to) those courses that could be listed under one of the expanded disciplines, such as earth and space science or environmental science courses, as well as computer science and engineering courses.
