Navigate to <https://lbcc-next.courseleaf.com/courseleaf/> You can also access your CourseLeaf Dashboard through the Viking Portal or Faculty Center - External Links in PeopleSoft.

Click the **Programs** tile

Click the dark green **Propose New Program** button in the top right corner of your screen. This will open a new window with the Program Proposal Form.

Once in the form, you'll notice several fields are disabled or greyed out. These fields are to be entered by other roles within the Program Proposal **Approvals Workflow**.

Input required Program Information. These fields are indicated by an asterisk (\*).

Several fields, such as Student Learning Outcomes, use a **plus sign** to add program information.

By clicking the plus sign, a new window will appear. Enter required information and click save.

When entering program requirements, use **Program Requirements Sandbox for Faculty Edits.**

The **Program Requirements for Catalog** will be entered by Curriculum Database Specialist as this data is used for the College Catalog.

The bottom of the Program Proposal form shows three options when working on a proposal. **Cancel:** If you'd like to cancel your work. This will not save any changes and return to the previous window.

**Save**: To save any changes that have been made and come back to the form at a later time. Clicking Save does not submit the proposed changes to workflow and will allow you to save without filling out all the required fields. The status of the saved form will be **Added** and may be edited later by searching for the course or doing a quick search for all added courses.

**Start Workflow**: To save and submit all changes for approval. All required fields must be filled out before the proposal can be submitted for approval. The course proposal will go to the next role in the workflow for approval. The next user in the workflow will be sent an automated email to notify that a course proposal is ready to be reviewed.
