Once the program concept has been approved, a formal proposal is prepared by the Department or program. This proposal is reviewed by various segments of the campus, and, if approved by each segment, is ultimately sent to the President for approval and forwarding to the Chancellor's Office if appropriate. New Degree Programs forms are to be attached to the Conceptual Abstract prior to submission to the Department Curriculum Committee. Once the degree concept is included in the Trustees' Academic Master Plan, the checklist and signature forms will be returned to the Department for attachment to the proposal. The number of copies required for post-college reviews is indicated on the checklist.
Departments are responsible for preparing the required number of copies for all levels of review.
