Changes Requiring Council Approval

Faculty has primary responsibility for degree requirements, admission standards, curricula and new program development. For academic departments and colleges, degree requirements, programs and courses require faculty approval at various levels. This is necessary to allow faculty review of changes within their purview, to ensure that changes do not impact curricula, resources, or students in unanticipated ways, and to provide necessary notification to appropriate offices and units following modifications (e.g., Office of the Registrar (Banner), DegreeWorks, Office of Admissions, advisors, etc.).

Items that must be approved by the Undergraduate Council or the General Education Council include but are not limited to

Creating New Program (Curriculum) or Course

• Establishing a new degree program/major under an existing CIP
• Establishing a new concentration for a program/major under an existing CIP
• Establishing a new minor program under an existing CIP
• Establishing a new certificate program under an existing CIP
• Establishing a new course

Changes to existing courses (such as):

• Course title
• Course description/content
• Course pre-requisites
• Course number
• Credit hours
• Grade type (i.e. repeatable for credit, pass/no pass)
• Modality (e.g., classroom, online, hybrid)
• Restrictions (e.g., major only)
• Discontinuation of an existing course

Changes to existing degree program (such as):

• Program requirements, including pre-requisites, elective courses, supporting courses, and changes to total number of hours required for the degree
• Graduation requirements
