In order to facilitate the review process for new degree programs, the   following procedures should be followed for all new degree programs that  have been approved by the college/ school assemblies and are seeking  governance review and the approval of the Board of Trustees. 

New Undergraduate Degree Programs

An electronic copy of the program proposal should be sent to the:

    a) Chair of the Senate Steering committee (the Provost) 
    b) Secretary of the Senate 
    c) Chair of UCUI 
    d) Chair of the Senate Budget Review Committee 
    e) Chair of the Senate Planning Review Committee

New Graduate Programs

An electronic copy of the program proposal should be sent to the: 
    a) Chair of the Senate Steering committee (the Provost) 
    b) Secretary of the Senate 
    c) Chair of the Graduate Council 
    d) Chair of the Senate Budget Review Committee 
    e) Chair of the Senate Planning Review Committee

New Non-degree Programs

Since new non-degree programs do not require Board of Trustee approval and therefore University Senate review and recommendation, electronic copies  of all new non-degree program proposals approved by college/school 
assemblies should be sent to the:  
    a) Chair of the Senate Steering committee (the Provost) 
    b) Secretary of the Senate 
so they can be placed as information items on the Senate agenda.
