Undergraduate Course Development Fund (UCDF)

About

The Undergraduate Course Development Fund (UCDF) was established in 2011-12 by the Provost to foster ongoing, mutually beneficial teaching relationships between graduate-only divisions and units and divisions that offer undergraduate degree programs.

UCDF-funded courses are intended to be of mutual benefit to both the undergraduate program and the graduate-only Faculty or unit. The undergraduate division benefits from additional teaching capacity and the inclusion of leading-edge researchers into their teaching cadre, while the graduate division benefits from exposing their instructors to a broad undergraduate population. UCDF funding is provided to the partnering graduate division in support of their instructor participating in the program.

Guidelines

A full description of the program goals and guidelines is found in the 2018-19 Undergraduate Course Development Fund Guidelines
