Before a course is authorized as a part of the curriculum, the content of that course will have been reviewed and approved by the faculty, the Department Head, the College Curriculum Committee, the Dean of the College, the Academic Council, and the State Regents for Higher Education. The schedule of classes is submitted by the Head of each Department and approved by the appropriate Academic Dean and the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

Final examinations shall be held at the times listed in the official schedule. In the event that special circumstances require change of a scheduled class, a request must be made to the Department Head for approval.
