Proposals for changes to existing programs should include a rationale memo, calendar copy, and any other relevant supporting documents. The desired implementation date should also be included.
To prepare the calendar copy, please copy text directly from the current Academic Calendar into Word and edit using the "track changes" feature. Only relevant sections of the calendar copy need to be included. (For example, if only the program requirements are being changed, the entrance requirements do not need to be included.)
Memo template
New programs
New program proposals should be developed in consultation with Program Development and Quality Assurance (PDQA). The Calendar copy template can be used for new programs; only the relevant sections need to be completed.
