Texas Tech University

Academic Unit Review Schedule

Academic Units will be reviewed at least every ten years to remain in compliance with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board review of graduate programs. The THECB must approve the 10-year review cycle in advance of its implementation. THECB allows alterations to the schedule, but any changes require prior approval.

Any unit or school not able to fulfill the requirements of the AUR process as scheduled will prepare a formal request with clear justification to the Office of the Provost.

This schedule is TENTATIVE pending confirmation of program listing and approval by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

If your unit is not listed, you may have recently completed a GPR and will be included once the 2030-2039 Schedule is established.
