Terminology
The attached document provides descriptions of the institution's standard terms for describing academic programs. Standardizing these terms will ensure that all programs of a similar nature are treated uniformly and that students enrolled in like programs are accountable to the same state and local requirements. The attached document excludes programs housed in the Law School.
Required Forms
In addition to our internal processes, some external approvers require more detailed information. These forms are designed to collect the necessary details so we can provide complete documentation for both internal and external review.
See the External Approval Matrix or Curriculog to see which Forms are required based on your proposal type.
