Classification Number: 9.6.6
Revised: August 14, 2017
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF CHANGES IN THE GRADUATE PROGRAMS
A proposed change in a graduate academic program may originate with an individual faculty member, an academic school, an external campus, or the vice president of academic affairs.
Regardless of the point of origination, a proposed change shall first be reviewed by the academic school(s) impacted by the change. After the review by the appropriate academic school(s), the proposed change will be submitted to the Graduate Council for university-wide review.
A proposed change shall have two readings during regularly scheduled meetings of the council. A change may be considered during a called session of the council; however, all members must be notified in advance of the meeting. After the initial reading, members of the council are to communicate the proposed change and its implications to those university constituents they represent. After the second reading, the council will vote on the proposed change. A quorum must be present for a vote to be taken. If the proposed change is accepted by a simple majority vote, it will then be submitted to the graduate faculty for their consideration. If the proposed change fails, no further action will be taken. The graduate faculty will review the change and the results of the review will be reported to the vice president of academic affairs. The proposed change, as well as the recommendation of the graduate faculty, will be presented by the vice president of academic affairs to the president. The president shall review the actions of the various bodies involved and notify the faculty concerning the approval of the proposed change.
