Curricular Proposals (course and program changes, academic unit or admission changes)
Student Enrollment (term and registration dates, add/drop dates, grading and finals dates, commencement)
Course and Section Inventory (submission of courses to be taught, room scheduling dates)
Academic Centers for Engagement and Support (ACES) Events (TLPDC, Ethics Center, Communication Training Center, Center for Global Communication, Center for Transformative Undergraduate Experiences)
