Students interested in leading a DeCal course in the English Department for the Fall 2025 academic semester must submit their application for review via: English Department DeCal Proposal Form by Friday, June 27, 2025.
Our first round of review will start Monday, May 26th. Applications can still be submitted until our Friday, June 27th, deadline.
- After you have submitted your CPF form via our internal Google form the department staff person for DeCals will email you to let you know whether it has approved your course for consideration by the Academic Senate's Committee on Courses of Instruction (COCI).
- Once you receive the department's approval to teach your Decal you will then submit your CPF form to COCI. For Fall 2025, COCIs CPF submission portal opens on Monday, May 5th, and closes on Tuesday, July 15th, 2025.
For planning purposes, please note that the DeCal proposal consists of the following:
- A completed Course Proposal Form
- A syllabus
- A letter of support from a member of the English Department faculty
- Please ensure you've completed the necessary training before submitting the proposal.
- Only one facilitator is allowed to be listed on the Berkeley Academic Guide. This means only one facilitator will have grading access. Co-Facilitators will not be considered for course listings, however co-facilitators can still help run your course.
- Department staff person: Jasmine Valenzuela Please email valenzuelajazmine96@berkeley.edu if you have any questions regarding the English department's submission process and COCI submission process.
