Know the Process

You can send proposals to the vice chancellor for academic affairs at any time. The process can take time, as boards and committees will review your proposal and make revisions. To get an idea of when your proposal will be processed, take a look at the Working Timeline for Program and Degree Approvals [PDF].

Get to know the specific approvals required for changing and creating new program proposals with our General Matrix for the Administrative Approval Process for New Academic Programs [PDF]. You can determine which documents are needed by locating the type of proposal you are creating at our SharePoint site. You will be prompted for your university username and password to access the site.
