Approval Chart

Most curricular proposals start at the department, school or regional campus level and then progress through the various offices until they reach the normal level of final approval for that type of curricular proposal. However, any hierarchically higher level may request to review, initiate and/or approve or disapprove any proposal. The normal level of final approval for curricular proposals is shown in the following table outline of the approval sequence.
