• 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)
