17. Course Evaluation Form The Articulation Officer may enter comments related to textbooks on the COR when they submit or resubmit a course if there is updated textbook information not included on the submitted COR. This is where you might find that newer textbooks are being used than are reflected on the COR.

Course Evaluation Form • After making an overall recommendation and making a final comment when necessary, you can either save the record and return or submit the review. • Your submission will go to the Primary Reviewer. • Once the Primary Reviewer is finished, the course will either go public or back to the Articulation Officer.

21. Conditionally or Not Approved • If a course has been conditionally approved or not approved, it will be sent back to the submitting Articulation Officer who then has a year to resubmit a revised COR. • When an Articulation Officer resubmits a course where you were the original reviewer, it will automatically return to your list.

Your previous comments will be visible. • You would follow the same process as you initially did in the first review.
