Academic Program Approval Processes

The Academic Program Approval Processes project, part of the eLearning TM program, aims to clarify and streamline the process of proposing a new academic program. Faculty will have the information needed to launch high-demand programs efficiently and with transparency throughout the review and approval processes.

 

Details

Early discussions in the eLearning program revealed that the processes to propose a new academic program were unclear to colleges. Further, the review and approval steps were not understood for different program types and under various conditions. Finally, the time to bring a new program to launch was perceived as too long. This project aims to streamline and bring transparency to the processes through:

  1. The development of a course on proposing new academic programs of various types
  2. A single proposal form for all new academic program types
  3. Electronic workflow of new program proposals
